Arielle Ford, bestselling author of “The Soulmate Secret,” self-help and relationship experts is the featured Inspirational Woman for June 2014 for The Skinless Project, a hub for women’s self-empowerment as leaders and consumers.

A publicist who helped launch the careers of self-help gurus Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, Ford is the author of seven books, and is the co-producer of Chopra’s video series The Happiness Prescription, as well as a founding partner of the Spiritual Cinema Circle.

“I am glad to be The Skinless Project’s inspirational woman for June,” Ford said. “The Skinless Project is a vehicle for women the world over to share stories and build a mutually supportive community. It’s an exciting development for women.”

Maaria Mozaffar founded The Skinless Project in 2012 to propagate the truth that women are more than skin deep. The Skinless Project connects women around the world through a global community, seminars, self-empowerment resources, and connections to products and brands that advance a healthy, positive vision for women, families, and communities.

“I never thought about competition,” Ford said. “My core belief is that ‘everyone always says yes to me,’ and if they don’t say yes it’s because something bigger or better is on the way to me. In my current field of ‘love and relationships,’ my closest friends are what others might consider my ‘competition.’ I don’t see it that way. I enjoy supporting their work because we all share a common mission of having a more loving world.”
