Acupuncture is on the rise and we talk about the process and why it works. Owner, Angela Sinnett, describes the procedure and how she determines the needs of each client and where to place the needles. “Fine sterile needles are placed in specific points of the body or vortexes of energy. Energy flows through the meridian systems and when things get blocked, imagine a kink in a water hose that stops the flow of water, acupuncture unblocks the free flow of energy so your body can heal itself.”
This weeks show Lana and JoJami continue their bi-weekly conversation about the benefits of journaling. Women spend their lives focused on caring for others. It is time to give ourselves the self care and self love we all need to flourish and propel forward as we continue to navigate the ups and downs of life. Spending as little as 5-10 minutes a day to take time for gratitude and self awareness can change how you look at your entire day!
Have you ever felt that you do your work every day, but there’s something more inside you that you want to still express? Energy flows where attention goes… Our guest, artist, Sheila Darcey talks the importance of being present and how she tests and holds herself accountable. Her authentic voice will leave you feeling inspired to journal or sketch yourself to a more luminous version of your true self.
Would you like it if you had a simple plan or as we like to say “a roadmap” to inspire and guide you to get the most out of your daily life? Journaling is one of the most effective tools to keep track of your goals and ideas because it brings them to the forefront of your consciousness. If you find yourself worrying or obsessing over things you have no control over? You are not alone! This week we discuss different tips to calming your mind and reframing your thoughts.
We also talk about strategies to knock out those lingering chores and get them off your plate. Don’t miss Lana’s “Roadblock Solution” tip of the week!
Do you have an irritant in your life, a pesky little something that you need to do or get fixed?
Get inspired to write them down and start crossing them off your list!

009: High Strung From Dance to Film with Janeen Damian
Janeen Damian, Writer and Producer, of 15 movies with the latest High Strung Free Dance, the sequel to High Strung, releasing later this year. At a young age, Janeen fell in love with dancing and went on to have an amazing professional dance career, where she performed with Cher, Lionel Richie, Prince, Elton John, George Michael and Engelbert Humperdinck, to name a few.
We discuss the life and passion of an artist and performer. Did Janeen ever think about the fact that her career as a dancer actually had a “shelf life?” Janeen says she didn’t want to go from a dancer to a choreographer which, typically, is the natural progression when dancers near the end of their dance career. She actually returned to her roots as a professional horseback rider where a casting company came to hire people for a commercial, met her, and so began her career behind the camera.
Janeen met her now husband Michael Damian, best known as Danny Romalotti, (Young and the Restless and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway) in Los Angeles and married 14 years later. While on their honeymoon in France, they took a leap of faith and began their new careers as creators and writers of a television pilot shot in Paris with Michael trying out his chops as a director. From that point on, they have never looked back and have worked together, side by side for the last 20 years.
We discuss being a woman in the male dominated film industry and how Janeen has gracefully dealt with all that came her way. Janeen and JoJami’s father, actor,James Best (The Dukes of Hazzard) taught both his daughters from an early age about the land mines of being a woman in the world of entertainment, which Janeen says helped her, “ avoid getting into uncomfortable situations”, from the onset of her career.
