Women empowerment is the process that acknowledges women’s sense of self-worth and influences them to take their place in a predominantly masculine society. Empowering women is a fundamental human right key to achieving gender equality, thus a more prosperous and peaceful world.

In the last decades, the world has experienced huge progress by reshaping the narrative of women’s empowerment. The old masculine paradigm is falling behind. But the movement is far from over. The role of women in society, especially in politics and economics, still has a way to go. Promoting women’s rights and women’s empowerment is today a major global movement that will continue until every woman and girl in the world is free from discrimination and violence.

Thence the importance of celebrating, enabling, and hosting Women’s Empowerment spaces to acknowledge the progress made so far and keep promoting women’s ability and right to influence social change in today’s world. Women Gone Wild Summit 2021 is this year’s largest Women’s Empowerment Summit. Hosted by renowned bestselling author Rhonda Swan, Women Gone Wild Summit will be taking place from September 28- to October 1, 2021.

Representative Feminine Power

According to a 2017 study made by professional services firm Egon Zehnder, 54% of women have access to senior leaders who act as mentors or sponsors for their careers. Some of these mentors are mainly men who often don’t hear, appreciate nor include women in the entrepreneurial world. This is one of the reasons many women get discouraged as they feel they are at a disadvantage.

“I believe entrepreneurship is within all of us. By creating a way of living your life or running your family, you are being an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is about being there; it’s about being savvy, being able to shift, being resilient, focusing, and making the sacrifice,” says Rhonda Swan.

In addition to being a bestselling author with her last recently-released book Women Gone Wild: The Feminine Guide To Fearless Living, Rhonda Swan is the CEO and founder of the Unstoppable Branding Agency, a renowned international speaker, host to the Rhonda Swan Show, and a business strategist.

Women Gone Wild Summit is a one-of-a-kind summit that offers a platform that celebrates, empowers, and elevates women to rise above adversity, to abandon that old belief of them being underrepresented, for other women are uplifting the feminine power and willing to assist and support others in finding their own inner strength, independence, and feminine power.

The Journey of Becoming a Wild Woman

The world is in urgent need of women acknowledging and recognizing their power. In order to face the challenges the future brings, the world needs more women leaders in action. Women empowerment movements have emerged decades ago and will continue to gain new ground in the next few years. Women have been taking the world for a while, and they are now unstoppable, as Rhonda, the “Unstoppable Momma” puts it.

Elevating women into leadership and empowerment is today more crucial than ever. It is time to leverage female talents, diversity, and equality.

Today the world is experiencing the rise of feminine energy. Women are finding their voices. They are fed up with being told what to do or what’s their right place in society… “As women, we’re told to be nice. To please others. To fit in. But that’s not you. You’re done being sweet and suppressing your wild feminine power,” expresses Rhonda Swan in her invitation to the Women Gone Wild Summit.

Women Gone Wild Summit is a 4-day online summit that will empower women by inspiring and boosting their confidence as an entrepreneur, business leader, and overall as a woman through 40 awakened powerful speakers who will be telling their stories of magical transformation and how their journey led them to success.

The space is reserved for acknowledging and recognizing the feminine power that lives inside each one, no matter their background. During the summit, the inspirational speeches by other entrepreneurs and activists will invite women to develop relationships with other changemakers, to learn professional development skills that will boost their business. But mostly they will guide women to take that first sometimes-frightening step into reconnecting with their Divine Feminine and starting their own journey of becoming a Wild Woman.

“It’s foliage blossoming with women who are breaking free of the masculine matrix of success, impact, and wealth creation,” Rhonda says.

The WILD feminine mindset

Women Gone Wild Summit will have such an in-depth impact in 2021. It will inspire women to connect with their own feminine energy and elevate them to their fullest, at the same time it will promote building a purpose-driven community. The Summit will be divided into 4-day long discussion panels where these 40 awakened women will inspire and challenge attendees through a new WILD feminine mindset.

Wild stands for the experiences the powerful speakers will be sharing and focusing on these four days. W stands for Wealth, the topic that will be discussed on Day 1: “The speakers will share the tools, practices, and rituals they used to tap into their feminine powers”.

I is for Inner Harmony that will be discussed on Day 2: “It is the individual journey into the self throughout life that we embark on to reach the same state of calmness, happiness, and acceptance of our present moments and situations.” The discussion will be full of different experiences and perspectives since Inner Harmony manifests differently for each one of us.

Day 3 will focus on the L, Leadership: “Leadership is about showing up for your family, friends, community, the greater good of the world, and most importantly yourself. Our goal is to teach you to lead with the heart in every area of your life without devaluing your worth, self-love, and your greatest passions.” The challenge during this summit is to find the leader that already lives within you.

Last but not least, day 4 will focus on Diversity, the last letter in WILD: “Hear stories from women from all walks of life who are owning their unique gifts and bringing diversity to the forefront of their businesses.”

Every woman can benefit from this Women Gone Wild Summit 2021 for there will be joy, passion, purpose, and willpower. Together, women are stronger. Together, women become WILD.

The Future of Youth Horror Gaming: Lonely Rabbit’s Midnight Strikes

Empty hallways echo with footsteps that aren’t yours. The carnival rides spin without passengers. Familiar spaces, the ones etched into childhood memory, twist into something menacing, something that watches. Lonely Rabbit’s Midnight Strikes arrives eight months before its completion, targeting a youth horror genre that is hungry for experiences that feel personal rather than purely fantastical. The indie studio searches for a publisher while building momentum for a game that weaponizes nostalgia, turning high schools and carnivals into theaters of psychological dread. As franchises age and audiences demand fresh scares, this PC title tests whether memory-based terror represents the next chapter in youth horror.

Maturing Past Jump Scares

Youth horror gaming shed its training wheels. Little Nightmares and Bendy and the Ink Machine proved that younger players crave atmospheric storytelling over cheap shocks, puzzle-solving over gore, and visual distinctiveness over recycled formulas. Bendy’s ink-soaked corridors attracted a massive audience, including children drawn to the characters despite the T-rating, because the experience felt emotionally authentic rather than condescending. Players now expect psychological tension woven through environmental details, stories told through decaying spaces, and cryptic objects scattered across levels.

The genre’s maturation reflects audiences who grew up solving Portal’s test chambers and exploring Limbo’s monochrome nightmares. Among the Sleep demonstrated the potency of perspective: experiencing horror through a toddler’s eyes made familiar domestic spaces feel uncanny and threatening. Fran Bow plunged players into hand-drawn asylum corridors where perception itself became unreliable, where puzzles demanded engagement with trauma and grief rather than simple pattern recognition. Modern youth horror respects its audience enough to disturb them thoughtfully, creating experiences that linger days after the screen goes dark.

Corrupted Childhood as New Territory

Midnight Strikes drags players through levels “reminiscent of their childhood memories”: the high school, the carnival, spaces universal enough to feel personal. Lonely Rabbit constructs what they describe as a “menacingly beautiful atmosphere filled with bizarre and terrifying creatures,” pairing monster survival with puzzle challenges that prioritize mood over mechanics. The game adopts a “cinematic and otherworldly feel” while grounding its terror in locations players actually inhabited, making fear feel intimate rather than abstract.

This memory-based direction distinguishes Midnight Strikes from fantasy settings that dominate youth horror. Deserted carnival rides and empty school corridors carry weight because players recognize them as such. Maybe the locker rows feel too narrow, maybe the Ferris wheel groans with a voice that shouldn’t exist, maybe the cafeteria smells wrong. The game challenges players to “survive their fear of the unknown” while navigating spaces that should feel known, creating cognitive dissonance that amplifies dread. Other developers exploring similar territory, such as Subliminal, which utilizes “nostalgic spaces” and “a rotting feeling that something is not quite right,” suggest that childhood corruption represents an emerging subgenre.

Lonely Rabbit’s approach weaponizes personal history. Every player attended school, visited carnivals, and formed memories in spaces designed for safety and joy. Corrupting those spaces turns nostalgia into a threat, asking audiences to confront distorted versions of their own experiences. The monsters inhabiting these environments become more than obstacles; they represent the fear that familiar places might betray us, that memory itself becomes unreliable when shadows move in the wrong direction.

Smaller Teams, Bigger Risks

Indie studios like Lonely Rabbit maneuver where larger publishers hesitate. Their two-month publisher search and pre-launch community building reflect changing pathways for games that defy established franchise formulas. Building a follower base before release creates market validation, proving that audiences want what you’re making before significant capital is committed. Transparency about development timelines and production milestones generates audience investment, turning potential players into advocates during the publisher search.

Midnight Strikes represents creative gambles major studios avoid when quarterly earnings loom. Smaller teams experiment with concepts, corrupted childhood spaces, memory-based horror, pand sychological tension prioritized over action mechanics, that might fracture focus groups but resonate with underserved audiences. Lonely Rabbit’s global distribution ambitions demonstrate indie confidence: build something distinctive enough, and geography becomes irrelevant when digital storefronts erase borders.

The next eight months determine whether Midnight Strikes defines a subgenre or remains an interesting experiment. If players respond to horror that mines personal history, if corrupted nostalgia proves more terrifying than fantasy monsters, other developers will follow this path. Lonely Rabbit’s gamble, that childhood spaces make better horror stages than alien planets or demon dimensions, could redefine what scares young players next. The studio’s publisher search tests whether the industry views memory-based terror as the future of youth horror or a niche curiosity. Either outcome writes the next page in a genre still learning what it can become.
