Brain Exchange

BJ Gallagher started the Los Angeles branch of Brain Exchange after attending a meeting near Oakland, Calif. She enlisted the help of founders Anita Goldstein and Susan Goldstein, and now her branch tackles everything from career troubles to the ins and outs of redecorating a room.

The Brain Exchange isn't group therapy. Rather, women pose specific questions, such as "How do I move my business closer to the beach?" or "How do I become better at career networking?" The brainiacs throw out suggestions.
