"As we look ahead to a new chapter, it's important to reflect upon everything so many have sacrificed this past year," said Oprah Winfrey . "This Mother's Day weekend, let's honor the collective resilience that we've shown in the face of adversity and set our sights on brighter days ahead."
The "Oprah's Your Life in Focus: Spring Forward Stronger " virtual event will kick off with an energizing pre-show followed by the main event with Drew Barrymore. Oprah and Drew will discuss what the past year has taught them about resilience - including Drew's experience as a mother of two young children - and how it has helped inform their vision for the days ahead.
"As a mother and grandmother, I can say firsthand how much this topic means to me, particularly right now," said Mindy Grossman , WW President and CEO. "We now know how important it is to care for the ones you love as well as the importance of putting yourself - and your health - first. We are so honored to have Oprah host another powerful event, which will inspire hope and help us reflect while coming together as a community to carve our path forward to wellness."
In addition to inspiring and meaningful discussions, event participants will engage in an interactive workbook exercise to help them further prepare for the next steps in their health and wellness journeys.
