Sometimes you’ve got to get raw to get real.
In 2012, I dreamed of creating a place for people to grow and get happy, to mimic my childhood summer camp experiences, integrated with relevant sessions to help people deal with the issues so many of us were facing, but not talking about (in fear of what?? […]
Tammi says: I was already a chubby pre teen when I met Shelly Fisher in the summer of ’74 at Camp Akiba (back when she was “Shelly Lotman”), my childhood happy place. She was a year older and way cooler than I was, but we bonded. Forty years later, she came to support Campowerment and […]

Dearest Chelsea…
Today is Grandy’s birthday…It is my 53rd birthday… A special day in many ways… It is especially awesome because this is my first birthday as a Grandy…My first birthday with you in my life (how lucky I am)… And it marks the beginning of this book…My journal to my first grandchild…
I’ve been […]
Women flock to Camowerment to put themselves at the top of their to-dos, disconnect, recalibrate and map out the next steps to create their own happiness….and we love that!

During my 34 years […]

Climb on, sister!
If you want 2018 to be the year you make your dreams come true, first you gotta have some dreams.
If you could design your life exactly how you want, what might the blueprint look like? (Do you even know what you want?)
I didn’t either. As 2017 threatened to dump me, I faced ’18 without one […]
One hundred and fifty years ago, my dad’s family— the Leaders — left Russia, crammed into a crowded steamship. And though we may never know if their name really was Leader when they landed at Ellis Island, or if one of my ancestors made it up from the front of the line, it really doesn’t matter.
I was born a Leader.
If I was destined […]
I inherited a trait from my parents that closely resembles workaholism, but takes a right turn and shows up just a little bit differently. When it rears its head, my eyes grow big and busy, my lips turn up to the right, and I appear to be having a dynamic conversation, except no words are […]
