Renowned author, actress, mother and wife Lisa Oz shared how she develops and maintains strong and healthy relationships. Ms Oz, stated, “For many years I tried to change my husband Mehmet. It took me a long time to realize that I needed to understand what it was about me that felt the need to change him”.  She noted that one must gain a deep understanding of oneself before they can have a strong relationship with others. 

She also shared with the members of Ladies Who Launch her reason for starting her own business. She said, “I wanted to spend more time with my husband. I therefore suggested to him that I produce a TV show and have him as the host. It was a result of this desire that we started this show”. 

Ms McShane of Ladies Who Launch commented, “I develop programs for women who want to launch or expand their businesses. I often feature other women who have been successful at doing this. All of the women I work with have a specific reason for venturing out on their own. It was fascinating to find out that Lisa Oz did as well.” 

The event held at Saks Fifth Avenue in Greenwich and sponsored by Serendipity Magazine had 70 women in attendance.

Ms Oz is the co-host of the Dr. Oz Show on Oprah Radio and XM. Lisa Oz is co-author of five 'New York Times" best-selling books YOU: The Owner's Manual  Series,her latest book. US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships That Matter Most.

A portion of the proceeds from the event went to benefit Norwalk Hospital Circle Of Caring. Circle of Caring was created to provide a “way to give back” for excellent medical and emotional care provided by Norwalk Hospital. It is designed to encourage former patients and their families to become more involved with the hospital and to express their gratitude for the care they or a loved one received. It was in the spirit of giving back that Amy Schafrann of Westport and mother of a former patient of Norwalk Hospital pioneered the program.   This support helps the hospital attract and retain outstanding medical staff and keep pace with the rapidly changing advances in medical technology
