The Self Improvement Show: Recent Episodes
Dr. Irene Conlan
The Self Improvement Show was created because almost everyone wants to be better, do better, and achieve more, but we don't always know how to do that. We aren't looking for perfection. We are simply trying to improve in ways that allow us more happiness, contentment and success with some laughter along the way. We address issues common to us all and suggest useful tools that will help you tap into your strengths and your wonderful uniqueness. We think most self improvement is an inside job so we talk a lot about how to go within to make lasting changes. We talk to people who have struggled and won and have great stories to tell as well as those who live ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. The show is laid back, informative and down to earth. The welcome mat is always out and we invite you to join us.
Before you read this, look around you. Whether you’re at home or in your office, let your eyes rest on three things that you can get rid of and never miss. In the next few days, make a mental note of things in your life that you consider “clutter.” Don’t find any? Look again. Why? Because we’re going to talk about being more and having less. Our guest for Thursday’s show states, “Be more with less” is about simplifying your life and really living. Living with less creates time and space to discover what really matters. Through decluttering, and focusing on the best things instead of all the things, you can create a life with more savings and no debt, more health and less stress, more space, and less stuff, and more joy with less obligation.” Don’t we all want more savings, more health, more space and more joy? Come hear what Courtney Carver has to say before you start the new year.
If you have a chronic illness of any kind, you want to listen to this show. The power of the mind is amazing, and when it comes to your health, it is powerful. Often, if a physician tells someone they have a certain amount of time to live, and they accept it they may die almost to the day of the prediction. If the doctor tells the patient they need to take a pill to get better, it is pretty sure the pill will have some effect, even it is sugar. Patients who develop a chronic illness are too often led to believe that they will just have to accept their diagnosis. Medical professionals tell them their health will never improve—after all, that’s what makes their condition chronic. Instead, they will have to learn to manage painful and debilitating symptoms. Dr. Nauman Naeem’s new book Healing From the Inside Out challenges the common narrative of chronic illness. We will talk to him about how it is possible to overcome chronic disease and change your life.
Have you ever been to Disneyland or Disneyworld? If you have, you know it is a magical place. It’s called “The Magic Kingdom” for a reason. If you doubt that it is truly magic, simply look at the faces of the children who visit there. And, if you have been there yourself you benefited from the work of Jody Jean Dreyer. She visited there in 1971 soon after it opened. That was the beginning of a 30-year career with Disneyland. We will talk about her work with Disney and about her newly released book, “Beyond the Castle.” She will help you identify you own personal “Happily Ever After.”
Where do you live? I’m not asking for your street address. I’m asking if you are in a personal space that propels you toward your dreams and encourages you to step into your power. Or do you live in a place of self-defeat, discouragement, and regret? You see there is a place of personal-knowing, self-acceptance, and inner-power within each of us. It’s called “The Empowerment Zone.” You have to make a conscious choice to live there, and you have to make a series of conscious choices daily to stay there. Oh, it’s a wonderful place to live. But there are three mistakes you can make that keep you on the outside looking in—that keeping you out of The Empowerment Zone. Cindy Mazzaferro will join us to talk about these three things and how you can remedy them or prevent them altogether. Join me as we move into the Empowerment Zone.
The star of adventure movies is seen doing feats that no normal human being could handle. But the star is not generally the one who deserves the applause. It is the stuntman who did the daring, death-defying job and he often goes unnoticed. But on this show, we WILL notice Curtis Rivers. Curtis is known in the movie world for being daring, ambitious, and hard working. He is a recognized member of the Hollywood Stuntman’s Hall of Fame and a two-time Guinness World Record breaker. We will talk about his work as a stuntman, but we will also pursue the ideas in his newly released book, “The Fearless Path: What A Movie Stuntman’s Spiritual Awakening Can Teach You About Success.”
Paddy Fievet has been with us before and was one of those guests you just HAVE to have back. Her story is compelling, and she tells it with a rich southern accent and a sense of humor that makes you feel good just to hear it. But her story is one that many of us share. Her story is of her search for meaning, love, purpose, and authenticity. We will walk with her through her divorce, paralyzing agoraphobia and panic attacks and, hopefully, emerge with her to self-discovery and new spiritual connection. We will talk about her latest book “The Eagle’s View: Five Steps to Modern Mysticism.” She may just inspire you to know that you, too, have a sacred story that must be realized and expressed. You are cordially invited to hear this remarkable, loving, funny, profoundly spiritual and delightful woman named Paddy Fievet.
Last week we talked about the importance of intuition to navigate change. Now we will talk about technology designed for the specific purpose of helping you develop your intuition. I have been using it for a couple months, and am excited about the results. Meditation is key to any lasting self-improvement and many of us struggle to get into a meditative state. Synctuition helps you with that. In their words, “Synctuition is the first binaural audio technology in the world that helps increase intuition through unforgettable realistic 3-dimensional sound journeys into your mind that you experience through your 6th sense. Synctuition has been developed in cooperation with psychologists, neurologists, musicians, top sound engineers and meditation experts to mix 4 amazing technologies into a single soundwave to deliver you incredible results.” Cutting edge. Pre-launch
Who better to talk about navigating change than a respected spiritual teacher and medical intuitive? Laura Kamm will join us to discuss how you can trust yourself to navigate these chaotic times and stay in balance. We will delve into how self-trust enhances your self-esteem and self-awareness. Take a moment to reflect on whether you can “trust your gut” and “follow your heart.” If not, why not? Laura will give us tips on how to keep in touch with your body’s awareness and develop your strengths intuitively by using three basic body awareness strategies. And so much more.
Who says you’re not creative? Do you think you need to paint, dance, sing or write to be considered creative? Think again. On this show, Cathy Wild will dispel your doubts about your personal creativity and show you the steps in the creative process that you can take. Her website states “There’s a depth you’re meant to explore. A flow you’re meant to find where treasures await discovery. Take a transforming journey into the heart of who you are. Unlock and access your creativity, power, joy, and more. Delve below the surface of your life, supported by intuitive guidance, earned wisdom, directed light—from a calming, focused partner you can trust: Cathy Wild. Counselor. Creator. Catalyst. Let’s dive in together.” Tune in and join me for the dive.
“What if, despite aging, injuries, health conditions, and illnesses, you could not only return to the state of health you enjoyed previously but even improve on it?” This is the question posed in the Preface to Carl Greer’s new book, “Change the Story of Your Health. On this show, we will talk about the “story of your health”— how emotions and moods, your job or vocation, and your connection to God, Spirit, Source or a higher power—can affect the story of your health. And we will talk about how you can change that story so as you age you can continue to enjoy optimum health.
Robert O. Williams is coming back. He had so much of interest in the first interview, and we received so much positive feedback, that he’s coming back. We didn’t have a chance to get into the meat of his book. For example, he states, “Our current times are full of immense suffering and cruelty simultaneous with the real awakening of millions of human hearts.” In light of the shooting in Las Vegas, this is a timely conversation. Neither did we have a chance to talk about his company, One08, which is an innovative global technology company. Its mission is to improve the lives of all human beings worldwide by developing and bringing to market scientifically based life-changing mobile apps and clean technology products that improve the health, performance, and lifestyles of its customers. He will share with us, his latest creations. www.loveisthepower.com
Do you believe in intuition? Can you depend on your intuition kicking in when you need a quick and reliable answer to a question or some guidance when you have to make a big decision? Can you trust your intuition and know that you are not just making something up? You meet someone that may be your “soul mate” and wonder if it can be true. Can you believe it? You have a gut feeling that you can’t trust a business deal, but you have no supporting evidence. What do you do? Lisa K. teaches people how to develop their intuition and to trust that it is reliable. She will explain the brain science behind intuition and talk about how you can develop yours. She will show you how your intuition allows you to take charge of your life, and make choices with confidence. Let your intuition guide you to listen to this show. http://www.LMK88.com
How do you go from playing the saxophone with the Beach Boys to becoming an expert in the study of subtle energy engineering and on to inventing Quantum Code Technology? Robert O. Williams did this. His research has provided scientific breakthroughs in field-based technologies, consciousness, and human potential. We will hear his story that takes him from music to teaching to running a music studio through a near-death experience and on to quantum physics. Don’t miss this one.
“Fun is the key to success. If you want to be successful, having fun is not an option. It's a necessity. By making fun a top priority—taking meaningful, enjoyable breaks each day, week, month, and year—you'll not only be happier but be more productive, too!” That’s the blurb on Amazon.com for Dave Crenshaw’s new book, “The Power of Having Fun: How Meaningful Breaks Help You Get More Done.” We will talk with Dave about the five-step system thousands of leaders have used to boost productivity and their careers. Hey, everybody! It’s time for recess. Let’s play! Be sure to tune in.
Technology is giving us a clearer look into the mind. We can now see how emotions, thoughts, and reactions to events affect our mind and, in turn, our physical body. Science is now telling us things that the mystics have known all along—that we are holistic. What affects one part of us affects the whole of us. Mind-body medicine looks at the whole person with the intention of restoring the natural wisdom of the body to heal. More people are turning to holistic modalities and, at the same time, traditional medical practices are utilizing aspects of mind-body medicine to create “Integrative” medical practices. So, the question arises: Where is mind-body medicine headed?” On this show, we will talk with Dr. Joseph Cardillo, a leader in the fields of health, mind-body-spirit and psychology, about the future of mind- body medicine. Don’t miss it.

What would motivate anyone to enter and run 52 marathons in 52 weeks? Karl Gruber did just that to raise awareness and funding to find a cure for leukemia. Discover how he set this goal and how he could get himself motivated enough to accomplish it. We will talk about the obstacles and triumphs and what the outcomes were. We will also talk about his work as a certified Law of Attraction Life Coach and his e-book, “The 3 Pillars: A Simple 3 Step Process to Manifest Positive & Permanent Change In Your Life”
One of the most misunderstood and yet powerful treatment modalities available to day is Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy. It is approved as a treatment modality by the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association although few MDs practice it. It can be used as a powerful anesthesia and is especially powerful when used in both dentistry and childbirth. In therapy, it allows you to tap into the hidden or forgotten thoughts and memories stored in the subconscious mind helping you to resolve some deep seated issues that may not have responded to traditional therapy. However, in spite of its usefulness, many people fear it. On this show, we will talk with a clinical hypnotherapist who practices “Deep Healing Hypnosis.”
Many of us have been told along our way in life to “get our st together.” We really wanted to be able to do that but didn’t have a clue where to start. Sometimes we couldn’t even identify exactly what the st was but we knew something wasn’t together. We would fix it if we could identify it and knew how to do it. On this show, Paula Meir, author of “Your Life Your Way: A Practical Guide to Getting Your S Together,” is going to help us with this project. If you are feeling stuck and can’t go backward and are afraid to go forward, this may be exactly the show you need. Get ready to “Pack away your old emotional baggage, dial down the drama and learn how to have a tough conversation.” Paula will help us see how it is possible to get our st together. We all have some. So be sure to put this show on your schedule. http://paulameir.com/
What would you like to do that you are afraid to do? Do you have an unfulfilled passion that scares you? You may be afraid to try and afraid not to try. Do you worry about what other people would think if you “went for it?” Or are you afraid that if you try it, you’ll fail? Do you think you just don’t have the skill set or even that you aren’t “good enough?” What’s holding you back? What if you knew of a five-step program to fight your biggest fears and allow you to move forward with an extraordinary life living your dream? Would you do it? Join me on the show to hear what Adam Kirk Smith has to teach us about overcoming fear. http://asmithblog.com
What happens when women in midlife step out of what's predictable? For Bernadette Murphy, best-selling author and long-time book critic for the Los Angeles Times, learning to ride a motorcycle at the age of forty-eight becomes the catalyst that transforms her from a settled wife and professor with teenage children into a woman on her own. Learning to ride a motorcycle is really just a way of opening a door for Murphy, enabling her to go through a tough divorce and start her life over again. Along the way, she goes rock climbing, ice climbing, SCUBA diving and open ocean paddling (along with cross-country motorcycling of course) while looking at neuroscience and the biology of risk. This interview could prove to be a great adventure on the radio. Tune in.
It isn’t often that a talent such as Clarissa Burt comes along and we are going to have some serious “girl talk” (men definitely welcome) about her accomplishments. We will talk about everything from what it was like to be an acclaimed runway model at the age of 18, to having a successful line of beauty products, being in movies, TV and radio and her work to help girls and women across the globe. She has truly gone from “Top Model” to “Role Model” and she will share her success secrets with us on this show. Be sure to tune in.
There is a popular belief that communication is a vital part of a healthy relationship, but many of us get communication mixed up with talking. In fact, according to life coach and counselor Christopher Moon, talking is a very small aspect of communication, and rarely provides the clarity that is vital during times of relationship conflict. Words often lead to stories, and stories can entangle people in endless, self-perpetuating, confusing drama. It is often the case that, as couples shed excess stories, justifications, and rationalizations, fewer words are needed to express the underlying vulnerabilities that exist beneath ALL conflicts. This is a show that anyone in a relationship needs to hear. In the meantime, get the book, “The Untethered Relationship: Experience Your Unimaginable Capacity for Love.” Then, tune in to listen to this show.
What would you do if $10,000 showed up in your life tomorrow? How would you feel? What would you buy? Where would you go? Many of us have studied the Law of Attraction. Some have been able to manifest great wealth and many of us have attracted a big fat ZERO. Some think it is wonderful while others believe it to be a hoax. Today we’re going to talk with Cassie Parks, author of “Manifest $10,000: Learn How to Manifest $10,000 by using the Law of Attraction and Improving your money mindset.” She will take us through the process of manifesting which helped her be able to retire at the age of 32. (No, that’s not a typo. She retired at age 32) You might want to listen in . . . just in case. Right?
Unconsciously, we relive our mother’s anxiety. We repeat our father’s disappointments. We replicate the failed relationships of our parents or grandparents. Just as we inherit our eye color and blood type, we also inherit the residue from traumatic events that have taken place in our family. While our physical traits are easily discernible, this emotional legacy is often hidden from us. Anxiety, fear, financial worries, depression, illness and unhappy relationships can all be forms of our unconscious inheritance. Unresolved traumas, some going back two or three generations, can ensnare us in feelings and situations that don’t even belong to us. They can forge a blueprint for our life, and can even pass onto our children. It doesn’t have to continue. It can end here. Today we will talk with Mark Wolynn, author of “It Didn’t Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle.”
What if creating a wealthy life could be as simple as being who you are, and doing what you love? You have a unique internal design for wealth. This formula is encoded in your soul blueprint—and like your fingerprint, it’s unlike that of any other human being. It’s called your Sacred Wealth Code, and it is written the universal language of purpose and prosperity. There is a way to discover this Sacred Wealth Code that Prema Gurreri calls an “inside out” process. It asks you to engage with the truth of who you are in order to blaze a path to the wealth your desire. We will talk about how to discover and engage this Sacred Wealth Code on this show. I hope you’ll join us. ttps://www.soulutionary.com/
If you are in midlife—between the ages of 35 and 64— this show will speak to you. If you are not there yet, pay attention because you soon will be. Midlife can be a time of reflection, rebellion, or reconnecting to old or new interests and activities. It can also be a time when losses start to happen or begin to pile up—divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job or home, the moving out and on of grown children—and learning how to move forward can be a challenge. Our guest, Janis Johnston, a seasoned psychologist looks at the geography of loss in midlife, the way it can affect us, and what we can do to get back on track or redirect ourselves when necessary. We will talk about the midlife maze and how to survive and thrive your way through it.
Remember the first time you were in love? All you could think of was him or her. Nothing else mattered. You were distracted. You forgot things that you should have remembered. You could remember every little detail about your beloved but you couldn’t remember where you put your car keys or what the assignment was at school (or the current project at work). And now science proves that you were “right on.” Studies have shown that infatuated individuals have increased attention and memory for their beloved and for information that has to do with their beloved, how infatuation might distract people from doing other things, such as their work or homework. And we study what happens in the brain when we are “in love.” Our guest heads up this study and today we’ll learn just what’s going on in or brain and what we can do to affect it.

Today, the evidence is everywhere that meditation improves health, mental acuity, emotional balance and spiritual connection. While most North Americans today perceive Yoga as a valuable source of exercise and quieting of the mind, “The Heart and Science of Yoga” shows that it is so much more. As it was evolved through ancient wisdom, Yoga Science is an eight-step method for managing the life force energy that propels us and connects us to the infinite power that is within and without us all. And the result of mastering it is the bliss and daily joy that lies in the realization of our connection. On this show we will talk about the benefits of yoga with Leonard Perlmutter, the author of “The Heart and Science of Yoga.”
In my lifetime, I have seen wide swings in what kind of behavior is acceptable and what is not. We’ve gone from June Cleaver who did housework in high heels and was aghast over most of Beaver’s behavior to Modern Family where pretty much anything goes. We have migrated from being shocked that a presidential candidate was divorced to hardly noticing that a President was having a very public affair. Dishonesty in business gets a ho-hum and commercials for women’s underwear fill the TV screen. (some of us remember when it was terrible if your bra strap could be seen or your slip showed below the hem of your dress). More couples are living together without marriage than ever before. To say that our morality has changed is understatement. Is it for the better? Who knows? We’re going to talk about these shifts with Eden Collinsworth who has written a most delightful book, “Behaving Badly: The New Morality in Politics, Sex and Business.” This show is one not-to-miss.
What if you start out in life on the wrong side of the tracks, or abused, or orphaned, or—well any negative, difficult beginning? Conversely, what if you start out well, but then life falls apart? Do you have to stay there? Absolutely not! Lynn Cochrum-Murphy shows how anyone can overcome obstacles and says the potential for enlightenment is available to the most ordinary of people. She has traveled the path of personal growth from victim to empowered masterful healer and spiritual being and will share her unique path and process of growth with us.
Sometimes something or someone exceptionally talented comes my way with a creation that is spectacular. Pardon all the superlatives, but I just can’t help myself. When I heard about “Breaking into Brilliance” I knew, before experiencing it, that its creator, Lynn Singer should be our guest. After experiencing it, I knew I was right. “Breaking Into Brilliance” is an “astonishing, interactive, animated, emotional, online experience masquerading as a book. It takes you from suffering, hopelessness and complacency to a life of magnificent creation. It creates a paradigm shift in personal growth that taps into our innate creativity, enabling us to create the life we want. It’s not a book. It’s not an ebook. It’s not a picture book. It’s something you have never seen before and that will change your life.” It is, indeed a gift to mankind. Don’t miss hearingg what Lynn Singer has to say. http://breakingintobrilliance.com
“In this crazy, chaotic world, we desire lasting intimacy. But too often being in an intimate relationship means we have to compromise, or lose, vital aspects of our personalities. How can we avoid sacrificing our own self-care to get the love we want?” This is the question asked by many, including Dr. Jeffrey Rubin who will be our guest on this show. Dr. Rubin has written “The Art of Flourishing: A Guide to Mindfulness, Self-care, and Love in a Chaotic World” and we will talk about flourishing, intimacy and authenticity. Dr. Rubin states, “It would give me great joy if the view of flourishing I present not only offers realistic hope in challenging times, but opens your mind, touches your heart, and enriches your life.” Tune in to find out how to do that.
If you were asked to define who you are, what would you say? Would you define yourself by your occupation? By your spouse and your children? By your hobbies? Can you answer the question, “Who are you?” Are you ready for a radical shift in perception—one that may challenge and profoundly alter your idea of who you are and what your purpose is on this planet? This is a question asked by Ron and Mary Hulnick who state “We all suffer from greater or lesser degrees of ‘Spiritual amnesia.’ We’ve forgotten who we are and why we’re here. The process of remembering is an active process through which step by step you remove or dissolve the barriers within your consciousness that are all that prevent you from knowing your Soul’s nature—from experientially knowing that you are a Divine Being having a human experience. This could be an eye-opening (or soul-opening) show. Be sure to tune in.
There’s good news and bad news when you talk about starting a new business. The good news is that a recent report from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) finds that 27 million working-age Americans—nearly 14 percent—are starting or running new businesses. The bad news is that nearly 50 percent of new businesses fail within five years. There are many reasons for this failure: a product that the market didn’t need or want, insufficient funding, or bad location, for example. How can this happen and what do you need to do to avoid the pitfalls and start a business that will become profitable? What kind of planning is essential and how do you go about doing it? Hal Shelton says “A well thought-out business plan can dramatically turn the odds in your favor.” We’re going to hear more about how to plan for success from Hal Shelton on this show. Every entrepreneur needs to hear what he has to say. So—tune in.
There’s a lot of confusion these days about dating, sex, and being sexy. Both men and women are sometimes at a loss for what to do. What “goes” and what doesn’t? What’s expected and what isn’t? The Internet has brought us “on-line dating” and what seems like a whole new set of rules. Some question if there even are any rules? Women’s liberation and the sexual revolution of the 60s have meant different things to different people and some haven’t thought it through for themselves. Today we’re going to talk about a new sexual revolution and being “your own brand of sexy.” What does that mean? What is YOUR brand of sexy? Tune in and find out what Dr. Susan Edelman has to say about it.
New books are published every day. Sometimes we see advertisements about them, get information about them in email or get a pop-up as we surf the net. We may see promotions on YouTube or interviews on the news with an author whose book caught on and is on the way to becoming a best seller or has already hit the top of the bestseller list. Most of us don’t think about what it took to make that happen—the coaching, publicity, bookings, book signings, radio show appearances, and YouTube videos. It takes a lot of work on the part of someone or a group of “someones” to make all of that happen. Our guest today is a literary publicist with clients who have hit the best seller list. She will talk with us about what she does to help her clients succeed in the very competitive literary world. What does it take to get your work noticed and sold? She makes every moment count and will help you learn how to do the same.
It is estimated that approximately 20,000 people lose their jobs every day in the U.S. On paper this is just a number and one that may not mean much to you. “That’s a lot, you may think,” and your mind goes on to think of something else that impacts you more at the moment. But think about that person who was fired or caught in a downsize. If they have not been able to save for hard times, how do they pay their rent? How do they buy food for their family? How do they put gas in the car? Where can they find another job? What will they do? Imagine the panic that sets in when you don’t have an answer to those questions. On this show we’re going to talk with Christina DeOliveira who experienced this. After 24 years with the same company, she was caught in a downsizing. What she did is remarkable. It could happen to anyone. Listen to hear her remarkable story.

Why do you need to take a break now and then? What are your pet peeves and how do you deal with them? How do you get out of a bad mood? Read any good books lately? We may touch on all of these. Irene invites you to call in with your ideas for shows, to let off steam about your pet peeves, to tell us how you handle stormy or sad moods, to suggest a book or whatever you have on your mind that relates in any way to self improvement. Just general chit-chat among friends.
Each one of us has a desire to find happiness regardless of how we define it. However, happiness is not something we find but something we choose. Acknowledging that sorrow and suffering should be embraced as a natural part of life, Joseph Emet will talk about how to use multiple mindfulness techniques to foster happiness even when life is far from perfect. These practices will help you retell your personal story, incorporate moments of pleasure into each day, and identify and omit the destructive habits that we assume will bring happiness. He will help you understand how emotional states impact the way we experience the world, determine real needs from wants and learn how to express them, practice mindful laziness, and experience agelessness by being in the moment—and much more. If you desire happiness, don’t miss what Joseph Emet has to say.
Dr. Troy Bjorklund is a Chiropractor. For some of you the word “chiropractic” brings a negative image and some of you would never consider seeing one for your own health challenges. Others have experienced some remarkable results at the hands of a chiropractor. I, personally, have had only positive healing experiences from chiropractic in times when no one else could help me. As an R.N. with a Master’s degree I did not accept chiropractors as true health care practitioners—that is, until the M.D.s at a most prestigious medical institution told me to go home because they didn’t know what to do and come back if it grew so bad I couldn’t stand it anymore. Two visits to a chiropractor put me back on my feet. That was forty years ago. I have been a fan and patient of a chiropractor ever since. I want to share this remarkable healing modality with all of you and Dr. Troy Bjorklund will join me. Don’t miss it.
Healthy living is about much more than just eating right or exercising. It’s also about living a life that you love and taking care of you. Many people are so stressed, slogging through each day in unfulfilling jobs, not understanding the opportunities that are available to them. People are quick to visit a physician to find a cure for everything that bothers them without care about the consequences. Today we are talking with Lisa Jahred, who will share her experience of why she took her health care into her own hands and how stepping out of her comfort zone to create an online home business changed her life in a big way. We’ll be focusing on learning how to live a life you love, self-care and incorporating essential oils to support your overall well-being.
We’ve never talked about a novel on The Self Improvement Show, much less a novel that tells a love story. Well, it’s about time we did! Love IS the most powerful self-improvement tool, after all. David Berner’s new book “Night Radio” is a love letter to music and rock 'n' roll radio of the 1970s. It tells the story of an American boy, an American family, and of dreams just out of our reach. -We all know about dreams just out of our reach, don’t we?- We will talk about his book, his love of writing and teaching and other things too fierce to mention. This show will be fun so don’t miss it.
Imagine being the head of a busy company with over 400 employees—and losing your voice. Not just losing your voice but becoming dizzy, out of breath and feeling sore when trying to speak. That’s what happened to Kevin Hancock, President of Hancock Lumber Company in Southern Maine. This happened in the economic downturn of 2007 when it was a struggle to keep any company afloat. As the company regained its footing, Kevin began to have difficulty speaking and was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological voice condition for which there is no known cause or cure. This took him on a quest to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He wrote the award winning book, “Not for Sale: Finding Center in the Land of Crazy Horse.” He will tell us his story and what he learned on this remarkable adventure. This is going to be just too good to miss.
Luke Adler, on the jacket of his book “Born to Heal” states: “Until you discover the wellspring of love within, you will endlessly seek love from the outside world. You were born to heal. The power to heal and feel whole resides within you.” But how can you love enough? How do you tap into that power that resides within you? Luke Adler will talk about how you can allow love to flow into tissues and organs that have been holding tension, stuck emotion and memories. When you can do this, the body and mind, and all their faculties undergo profound transformation—and healing ensues This healing is what we will talk about on this show. lukeadlerhealing.com

Most people in business have read 'Think and Grow Rich.' It is the Bible, so to speak, of the entrepreneur. It has become a classic. It has been 'updated' by some, revised by others, but the original edition simply cannot be improved. It is this original, classic edition that we will talk about on this show. If you are in business, or want to be in business, this book should be the first one you read. No, that’s not quite true. This book should be read, re-read, picked apart and fully digested. It is not a casual read. If you say to yourself, 'Well, I read it once and I’m not rich,” then you didn’t really 'get it.' Mitch Horowitz was instrumental in the republishing of this book as it was originally presented. So, yes, he is an expert. If you truly want to 'Think and Grow Rich' don’t miss this show.
As children we develop stories and beliefs about how the world works, most of which get improved upon and amended over time. But some of our stories do not. Even though we have matured, some of the stories remain, and these fear driven, opinionated, and self-centered “child stories” are often the source of behavioral and emotional patterns that hold us back. Rosamund Zander will help us identify and rewrite these stories in order to transform our own lives and our relationships. You might want to read her latest book, “Pathways to Possibility” and then hear what she has to say to you.
We’re all familiar with coaching, aren’t we? We’ve know the football coach, the basketball coach and other sports coaches since we were in high school. We accept the concept that the team needs a coach who turns beginning players into members of a team that, hopefully, wins. Businesses are more and more providing coaches for their employees to help them become more productive members of the business “team.” We also have coaches for health, personal, professional, social, family, political, and spiritual dimensions. You name it, there’s probably a coach for it. But many of us, as individuals, have never sought out coaching and really don’t know what we could accomplish by doing so. We are going to talk with the Director of Coaching for Achieve Today to learn more about coaching and how having a coach can accelerate your reaching your goals and achieving your dreams. Don’t miss this one.

Regardless of the reason, unhappiness can permeate every area of life if left unchecked. So is it possible to shift perspectives and live a life of happiness and peace?

Since the dawn of time people have believed in the existence of a higher power, whether it was in the form of a specific god, guardian angel or unnamed universal force. Inspirational speaker and metaphysical teacher, Kasey Claytor, trusts that there is a higher power at work in the universe and that angels are the guardians and messengers who do the day-to-day work. In her new epic tale, “The Light of Grace: Journeys of an Angel,” Grace, a newly assigned angel, is given four humans from different time periods to guide. She does this by leaping through time and space. The hot summer deserves a bit of lightness and fun. Come leap with us through time and space for a romp with angels and Kasey Clator.

What if you combined neuroscience principles with mindfulness and energetic modalities? Hmmm. You would get a new way to heal from overwhelming stress and trauma called Neurosculpting. This is a whole-brain approach to heal trauma, rewrite limiting beliefs and find wholeness, and you can do it in your own home after some initial training. Or you can learn with the on-line program, Warrior I. We will be talking to the founder of Neurosculpting, Lisa Wimbeger, who began teaching Neurosculpting in 2007 to law enforcement, military veterans, and other first responders as a practical way to manage emotional healing from trauma and PTSD. This is “cutting edge” and may be what you are looking for if you or a loved one is having difficulty recovering from a highly stressful or traumatizing event.
We hear more and more about Alzheimer’s disease these days. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 5 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s. It is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s and progresses from there until the patient has lost all ability to communicate or care for themselves. It is currently ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, but recent findings indicate that the disorder may rank third, just behind heart disease and cancer as a cause of death for older people. It is devastating for both the person with Alzheimer’s and the family. When Judi and Shari Zucker were told that their mother had a form of Alzheimer’s they set out to find ways to slow it down. We’re going to talk about what they learned and what they did to help slow down it’s progression.

Research shows that people cannot reach their full potential unless they are in healthy connection with others Yet we all experience moments when we feel isolated and alone. A 2006 Purdue University study found that twenty-five percent of Americans cannot name a single person they feel close to. But every one of us is hardwired for close relationships. The key to more satisfying relationships—be it with a significant other, a family member, or a colleague—is to strengthen the neural pathways in our brains that encourage closeness and connection. In her book, “Four Ways to Click,” Dr. Amy Banks give us a road map for developing these neural pathways in the brain that underlie the four most important ingredients for close relationships. We will talk about the tools you need to strengthen the parts of your brain that encourage connection and to heal the neural damage that disconnection can and may have caused.

Most of us have asked the following questions: What does it take to feel (and be) appreciated for who you are and all you do? How do you overcome worrying about what other people think about you? How do you realize your defining moment and have a breakthrough in your life? How (and where) can you find the courage to change your life? How can you effectively resolve conflict without giving up who you are? How do you find your soulmate that you already have? What about you? What are your questions?

One of the most interesting and informed guests I have had on this show is Dr. Joseph Cardillo. The last time he was on we talked about energy and just touched on energy and spirituality. It left me wanting to discuss it more and in greater depth and he agreed to do that. So on this show we will talk about spiritual things and who know where it will go? Certainly we will talk about what spirituality is, what spiritual energy is and how you tap into it. And so I ask you the questions, “What is spirituality? What role does spirituality play in your life? What is the difference between being spiritual and religious? Can you be one or the other. Can you be both? How do you know if you’re on the right path?” You know, those kind of questions. Get your own answers and tune in to hear what Joe says.
Jessie Snyder is my role model. I told her that. Her life has sometimes been a tough struggle and I’ll let her tell you about that. Jessie Snyder keeps landing on her feet and going forward regardless of what happens around her. She’s a modern day Phoenix who rises from the ashes and just keeps on rising. I met Jessie through a story she wrote for Ezine Articles. I put the story on the blog when I first started broadcasting over five years ago and invited her to be on the show. I was impressed then and even more so now. She is a writer and has become an entrepreneur with her own business. She got her Associate Degree and is now working toward a Bachelor’s degree. She knows how to fight for what she wants and she’s not afraid to work for it. If you want your heart to be touched listen to Jessie’s story. Join us on Thursday.
Cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer of Americans, even though it’s largely preventable. No one wants to die, so what’s going on? A recent study reveals that 94 percent of us are not taking very good care of ourselves. More research and education on healthy lifestyles and heart disease prevention have been disseminated over the past two decades than at any time previously. Investigators from the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, compared the results of two large-scale studies of the U.S. population that shows the percentage of adults aged 40-74 with a body mass index greater than 30 (obese) has increased from 28 percent to 36 percent, and physical activity 12 times or more per month has declined from 53 percent to 43 percent. The bottom line? As a population we’re getting fatter and more sedentary. Some would say, fatter and lazier. We’re going to talk about that today and get some ideas about what we need to do to reverse the trend.
One of the things that almost everyone is looking for, longing for even, is a loving relationship. Before the advent of the computer and the Internet we had newspapers that carried ads placed there by lonely men and women who were looking for companionship. Now we have on-line dating. There are close to 100 different dating sites listed on the Internet and these serve an estimated 41 million people. I am one of these and I'm going to talk about on-line dating in general and my experiences in particular. I may or may not be typical, but I will be honest about what I have learned. The questions? Is on-line dating safe? Is it productive? Is it for you? This should be fun so join me on Thursday's show
Jim Nourse was with us before talking about the Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono. He is back with us to talk about his new edition of “Simple Spirituality: Finding Your Own Way.” In Jim’s words, “It is about that vertical dimension, written for the person who has no time but for whom spirituality has arrived on the set and is demanding a part in the series. It is written for the person who wants a jump start but does not want to be taken on a tour.” He says that through simple decisions to become aware, to awaken, in the course of the day, we can begin to discover our own unique spirituality without adding another item to our to-do list. We will talk about these simple decisions and how they can enhance our lives. http://jamesnourse.com
Dr. Laura Basha says, “It is possible to step from the invisible to the visible. We are so afraid that we cannot be what we dream ourselves to be, that we stay hidden inside of a persona that we ourselves created for our survival. Bring the invisible to light so that you can begin to see your own beauty and claim your wholeness and your true voice.” When you remember who you truly are, the result is an inherently synchronized person inspired to learn and grow, who is infused with the vitality of self-actualization. We will talk about how you can tap into your innate wisdom, health, leadership and peace of mind to become the creatively purposeful and powerfully free authentic expression of yourself. http://www.whitebirdrising.com/

This is Irene Conlan and it's MY TURN. Every now and then I want my chance to say whatever I want to say on The Self Improvement Show and this is it. Of course we will take a look back at 2015, but only briefly, to set the stage for 2016. I have several passions. I have become keenly aware of what happens when you don't plan for your retirement and suddenly you find yourself there (yes, it seems suddenly even though you've had a lifetime to get ready for it). We will talk about that. What do you do about it? You find a way to earn money. And we will talk about that. And what if you don't know how to go about it or where to find customers, or . . . And, yes, we will talk about that! Most importantly, how to you take care of you so you are able to meet new challenges, find new ways of doing things, meet new people and not lose your balance? For one thing, you meditate! And how do you have fun in the midst of doing all that? Let's talk!
Early in his career as a cardiologist, Dr. Arthur Constantine learned that, in addition to helping patients navigate the treatment of the physical heart, there is an inseparable intertwining of the physical and spiritual bindings of our hearts. Whether or not it is the physical heart causing the symptoms, the spiritual heart must be addressed before complete healing can occur. His new book, “It’s always the Heart” offers valuable, life changing clinical and spiritual insights into prevention and recovery from heart disease. We will talk about what it means to be completely healed in mind, spirit and body. Dr. Constantine will give us life-changing spiritual and physical insights into the most important organ in your body—your heart. Who should listen to this show? Anyone who has a heart!
Sam and Gifford Keen join us to talk about their jointly written book, Prodigal Father Wayward Son. The rebellion of the 60’s and 70’s is writ large in the struggles between a driven father and an irrepressible son. From adventures to marriages to split ups to drugs to abandonment and to finding a way back.

They will share with us their account of repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation. Their story provides guidance and inspiration to those looking for positive role models and teaches new ways to move beyond old wounds by offering concrete methods to overcome long standing enmities and misunderstanding.
We all think we love money, but frequently what stands in the way of our getting more of it is a whole set of complex negative attitudes–including a subconscious rejection of money–that most of us are never even aware of. The MoneyLove principles presented by Jerry Gillies teach you how to reprogram these unloving feelings about money–feelings that keep you from fulfilling your personal and financial potential. Jerry will talk about how loving money will make it easier for you to accumulate wealth and show you how money is an extension of your personality. Jerry says, “You can be as good a person rich as poor, probably better. If you don't believe this, then tune in to hear what Jerry Gillies has to say.
Robin Marvel lives up to her name and when you hear her story I know you will agree. Growing up in a highly abusive family she experienced every type of abuse a tiny child can experience. Coming into her teen years she knew she wanted nothing to do with drugs which she saw destroying the lives of the adults who were supposed to care for her. However, to fill the great need for love, she turned to alcohol and sex. Becoming a mother at 16 she knew she wanted a better life for her daughter. She will tell us how she turned her own life around and what motivated and prepared her to author books about positive living and awakening consciousness. She has been with us before and always has something of great interest to share. We will be talking about Family and how to build a home that allows you to raise healthy, confident children. http://www.robinmarvel.com.
Who owns you mind? I can hear you saying, “Well, I do, of course.” But, not so fast. Maybe you don’t. We’re going to take a look at the history of mind control and of electronic surveillance and harassment as well as the influences of cults, politics, religion and the media on our thinking and our beliefs. Marie Jones and Larry Flaxman did significant research on the history and present practices of mind control. They state, “The human mind is the last bastion of privacy, where we can be who we are, think what we want, and behave in accordance with our values and beliefs. But the pervasive presence of mind control and mental manipulation threatens to take away that basic and fundamental human right—the right to own your own mind.” This will be a thought provoking and possibly controversial show. Don’t miss this one.
Jody Sharpe wrote The Angel's Daughter after her own daughter was killed in an automobile accident and writing the book helped her heal. It is not a book about sadness but about love, joy and caring. She now has published her second book, To Catch an Angel. Jody will tell us her story—a story of a woman who vowed, after losing her daughter, that she would not give in to the bitterness that often robs people after they lose someone they love or after an agonizing failure of some kind. We will talk about walking through pain and coming out on the other side. In her hardest days she continued to write and has given us another delightful book. Don't miss this compelling story.
In these up and down times in terms of personal finances, it's important to have a back-up plan and most of us just don't have one. Over the past few years we have seen what massive unemployment can do to individuals and to society as a whole. When dad or mom—or both—lost their jobs, families were devastated and had no place to turn except the unemployment lines, food stamps and welfare. Some are just beginning to recover. Senior citizens, who saved and planned for retirement, thinking their efforts would pay off in retired enjoyment—traveling, enjoying hobbies, living comfortably—find that they are already at the end of their savings. The current economy ate their savings up and they still have years ahead. What are they supposed to do? There are options. Ted Wilson, at the top of the charts in his own home based business, will talk about how he got there and how you can duplicate his efforts to carve out a piece of the financial pie for you and your family.
It's that time of year again—time to get ready for the holidays.

Sylvia Nibley, known as The Queen of Questions can help you ask the right questions to get the answers you need and can depend on.
Have you ever hit the physical, emotional or mental wall? What about having a worn down feeling at the same time every day? We always tell ourselves, 'Power through mind over matter. You can do It.' But what if it's not about aligning our mindset to create a better life but about synching our body's energy to create a better mind? Teaching our bodies to use energy wisely is the first step. These are the words on the inside cover of Joseph Cardillo's new book, Body Intelligence: Harness Your Body's Energies for Your Best Life. He says, You are energy, your world is energy and everything in your world is energy. Guess what we're going to talk about on this show? Yes. ENERGY!

Be sure to hear this one.

Come and listen to master storyteller David Berner share stories of a life in pets—from a collie that herds Berner home when, as a two year old, he went streaking through the neighborhood to a father crying in front of his son for the only time in his life while burying the family dog on the Fourth of July.

The author of the delightful book There's a Hamster in the Dashboard will show us how pets not only connect us with the animal world, but also with each other and with ourselves.

Many people wonder if they will be remembered after they die and, if they are, what is it that people will remember? I'm neither rich nor famous, they may think, and so I'll be forgotten. If you've ever thought this, then make plans now to Have the Last Say. Alan Gelb suggests, in his book of that title, that you can capture your legacy in one small story. He says Perhaps you want to convey a deeply held value, describe a passion, reveal a bit of family history that shaped you. He says to write it down! Why not? So you aren't a writer? Are you sure? Give it a shot. Sit down at your computer, open your word processing software and give it a go. It will bring up some wonderful memories for you and insure that your legacy will be remembered. You don't have to be older than dirt to do this. Start now and add to it as the years pass. Tune in and let Alan Gelb tell you more about having the last say. www.havingthelastsay.com
Are you alive, awake and aware? Think about it. We hear these words tossed around a lot these days, so much so that we may not think about what they really mean. In this crazy, cyber-driven, fast paced society, it's easy to become so caught up in the mental noise within your mind [that]has disallowed you to be aware of its existence until now. You breathe, you have blood running through your veins and your mind thinks, but are you truly alive or are you simply existing? Your eyes are seeing, ears are hearing, legs walking but are you awake in the true sense of the word or are you sleep walking your way through life, hardly realizing who you are and what's going on around you? Christopher Pinckley says, Your authentic nature is one of a multidimensional, expanded, boundless, limitless, peaceful, loving, and universally intelligent capacity. Does that describe you? Join us to hear what he has to say about becoming alive, awake and aware.
How can you use drums to teach reading, writing, arithmetic and social skills? Well, we're about to find out from a master teacher, Stephen Flinn. Using The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) curriculum, Stephen educates teens and adults with intellectual and developmental differences as well as typical preschool students. He teaches exercises that encompass rhythm as a modality to address basic life and learning skills. But that's not all he does. He has written a manual for bucket drumming and runs Rocking Buckets in New York City which is an exciting story in itself. This will prove to be one of those shows that leaves you in awe of the power of sound and the kindness of the human spirit. Come and meet Stephen Flinn.
Paddy Fievet has been with us before and was one of those guests you just HAVE to have back. Her story is compelling and she tells it with a rich southern accent and a sense of humor that makes you feel good just to hear it. But her story is one that many of us share. Her story is of her search for meaning, love, purpose and authenticity. We will walk with her through her divorce, paralyzing agoraphobia and panic attacks and, hopefully, emerge with her to self discovery and new spiritual connection. We will talk about her book When Life Cried Out: A Woman's Pilgrimage of a Lifetime. She may just inspire you to know that you, too, have a sacred story that must be realized and expressed. You are cordially invited to hear this remarkable, loving, funny, deeply spiritual and delightful woman named Paddy Fievet.
We all think we love money, but frequently what stands in the way of our getting more of it is a whole set of complex negative attitudes–including a subconscious rejection of money–that most of us are never even aware of. The MoneyLove principles presented by Jerry Gillies teach you how to reprogram these unloving feelings about money–feelings that keep you from fulfilling your personal and financial potential. Jerry will talk about how loving money will make it easier for you to accumulate wealth and show you how money is an extension of your personality. Jerry says, “You can be as good a person rich as poor, probably better. If you don't believe this, then tune in to hear what Jerry Gillies has to say.
Alcohol and other drugs, food, gambling, shopping, sex, relationships, money...We can develop an unhealthy emotional and often physical dependency on any one of these and more. You want to stop, but you can’t. Or, sure, you can stop. Any time! But you can’t stay stopped. You may know the feeling all too well. You’ve quit...many times. You start a new diet every Monday. You lost your paycheck at a poker game and cannot pay the rent. You went back to your abusive boyfriend again. Relapse, slip, backslide, fall off the wagon. Whatever you want to call it, it’s demoralizing at best, life threatening at worst. You are far from alone. Addiction is among the most pervasive and urgent problems of our time. We are going to talk about a new and successful approach to treatment with Laura McKay and Dr. Rosemary Brown, authors of Addiction is the Symptom: Heal the Cause and Prevent Relapse With 12 Steps that Really Work.
There is a lot of talk these days about spirituality vs. religion, about a spiritual path, about Higher Consciousness, mindfulness and awakening—all those very heavy topics that some of us pretend to understand. Then, along comes Murphy to poke a little fun at all of us. I am reminded of G.K. Chesterton's quote, Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. We're going to talk with Fran Shaw, author of Lord Have Murphy: Waking Up in the Spiritual Marketplace. If Fran speaks for Murphy on the show it will be a show that you don't want to miss and most likely will never forget. Be sure to join Fran, Murphy and me On Thursday.
What woman today doesn’t feel over-worked, over-tired, stressed-out and pushed to her limit? We all feel we aren’t doing enough, we don’t have enough time and we are lost to ourselves, awash in commitments that never allow for our own moments of self-care, personal enjoyment and individual reward. As Dr. Jaime Kulaga puts it, we are on the Ferris Wheel that keeps us stuck going round and round. We may be a super woman, but not necessarily a SuperWoman, a woman who knows how to achieve balance between life and work and be personally fulfilled. We are going to talk about how to get off the Ferris Wheel and take control of your own life and achieve a life of balance and personal fulfillment. www.mindfulrehab.com
How do you find comfort in a world where uncomfortable things happen? Betsy Thompson wrote about how you do it in her book LoveHuman. She answers questions regarding where you come from, where you are going, and why you are here. Aren't those questions we all struggle with? The message helps us embrace the world as it is and the people around us as they are—and love whatever that is. Not because it’s a perfect world, but because as we love and accept life as it is, love and acceptance grow. We will talk about her book and her life and you won't want to miss it
Alan Fox writes in his new book, People Tools for Love and Relationships, We each must recognize that the partnership of us is accompanied by risk. Each of our journeys of deep friendship and love has the potential to end in loss. But I have found no better alternative than to fully explore the world, and my life, with a partner. I perfer to live not only as 'me; but also to enthusiastically embark upon the exhilarating and exhausting adventure of a lifetime, the journeyu from 'me to us'. Most of us would agree that this is a risky journey and many have failed at reaching a happy destination. We will talk about relationships and this journey from me to us.
Sam and Gifford Keen join us to talk about their jointly written book, Prodigal Father Wayward Son. The rebellion of the 60’s and 70’s is writ large in the struggles between a driven father and an irrepressible son. From adventures to marriages to split ups to drugs to abandonment and to finding a way back. Sam Keen–groundbreaking philosopher and author of the bestselling Fire in the Belly helps define a movement while wreaking chaos at home; Gifford Keen–a wild-eyed blond California surfer boy has a bad knack for doing things the hard way until he stumbles into great success. They will share with us their account of repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation. Their story provides guidance and inspiration to those looking for positive role models and teaches new ways to move beyond old wounds by offering concrete methods to overcome long standing enmities and misunderstanding.

Sarah Napthali explores how to apply Buddhist practices to our lives so that we may learn to be more calm and self-aware in our relationships. In distressed couples, individuals typically blame each other and fail to see their own role in any problems. We sit around waiting for our partner to change, to correct their faults and see that life would be much easier if they would stop doing this and start doing that. Most likely they might be doing the exact same, and we’ve reached a stalemate driven by the negativity bias. Sara will talk about how we can expand upon the principles shared in Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. How do these relate to the subjects of housework, anger, sex, conflict, and infidelity? She states that through mindfulness and ever-growing self-awareness, we begin to see our behavior more clearly and relate to our partner more lovingly. Her book is Buddhism for Couples: a Calm Approach to Relationships.

Katherine Ketchum is a story teller and in the telling of the stories she explores some very profound thoughts and teachings. We will look at her book, Experiencing Spirituality: Finding Meaning Through Storytelling which was just released in paperback, Some of the things we hope to discuss are: how great wisdom stories can enrich our spiritual lives; how being spiritual is more than just being non-religious; the importance of imperfection and failure; and the need to experience rather than intellectualize spirituality. The book is one to sit and savor and I think this discussion will be the same. Come join us. www.katherineketchambooks.com

When you mention an MLM (multi-level marketing company) or network marketing, you get a mixed reaction. Some people cringe, some shrug and some say, How do I get involved? Many people have made significant incomes while others have tried a number of companies with no success. We are privileged to have the CEO of a new company, Valentus, talk about how you start a network marketing company, the pros and cons, the products, the compensation systems and why you should or should not become involved. Questions to keep in mind? Is this a safe way to earn money? Are the products worthwhile and affordable?

Callers are certainly welcome.
Ph.D. psychologist Gail Brenner, author of The End of Self Help: Discovering Peace and Happiness Right at the Heart of Your Messy, Scary Brilliant Life, says that’s because these and other self-help techniques aren’t nearly as effective as their popularity suggests. The real key to peace and happiness, Gail explains, lies in understanding that you are innately whole and don’t need to “fix” yourself or your life and by intentionally shifting your attention away from the stories and dramas and focusing instead on your awareness of any given moment as it unfolds. Ultimately, the drama and struggles you perceive will lose their grip on you. You’ll be able to stop trying to find peace and happiness and live it instead. We're going to talk about how we go about doing this. http://gailbrenner.com/
Remember when binding agreements about major decisions were made with a handshake and your word was your bond? Remember when you could buy something and know it was what it said it was? Some of you may not remember those times but, honestly, we had them. In these days when overselling and fraud seem like more the norm than the exception there is someone teaching about integrity. Ron Willingham states, Every two or three decades quantum advances take place, changing the paradigms of how people think, understand, and perform—raising the consciousness levels of people and organizations. He created a quantum leap of sales advancement in the early 1980’s when he brought the Integrity Selling© course into the world. This was a first to combine a needs-focused selling strategy with a proven behavior modification process, and has now been conducted in over 130 nations. He will join us to talk about his vast work and about selling with integrity. www.authenticsalesperson.com

When most of us hear the word mystic our minds take us back centuries to find an old bearded man, in a monk's robe living in isolation, devoted to a life of prayer and spirituality. But Paddy Fievet doesn't fit that image and she says there's a modern mystic in each of us. She says that a modern mystic is a woman (or man) who understands life deeper than the ordinary five senses allow and, has not only awakened to her/his profound sense of intuition but utilizes it daily. The modern mystic, according to Fievet, knows her talents–her spiritual gifts–and through appreciation does her best to manifest them with grace. Being a modern mystic is not something she does. Instead, it is something she accepts and then allows and she feels a deep connection to God. Paddy will share her story and her insights. Listening to Paddy, you may discover that you, too, are a modern mystic. http://www. paddyfievet.com
What if you don't get the answers you are seeking because you don't ask the right questions? Questions like Why me? What if I fail? and What's wrong with me? will bring you answers that limit growth and restrict positive thinking. Questions like; What’s the easier way? What do I believe? and What inspires me? can lead to transformation. Many believe that the answers are already within you and to reach them you have to know how and what to ask. Sylvia Nibley has worked for over twenty years formulating the right questions. We will look at some questions that you never want to ask yourself and we will discuss how to ask the right questions. So What do you have to lose? Hmm. Perhaps the better question is, How much do you have to gain? Tune in to find out. http://www.sylvianibley.com

Scalar energy is also known as prana, chi, radiant energy, zero point energy, qi, orgone, and eloptic energy. After years of experimentation and modification, Tom Paladino has developed a technique using scalar energy that will transmute pathogens quickly and painlessly. He is able to administer the scalar energy reverse-phase angle harmonic of a pathogen, thereby causing that agent of infection to disassemble or fall apart. He calls this a pathogenic cleanse. Scalar energy operates at the quantum level and is capable of disassembling all types of pathogens; for instance, virus, fungi, amoeba, parasites and protozoal infestations, thus eliminating the causative agent of disease. Once the causative agent of a pathogen disease has been eliminated the symptoms associated with that infection decrease or disappear altogether. We are going to talk with Tom Paladino about this process, how he built it and what it can do for you. http://www.selfhealgo.com
How many times have you declared you would NEVER do something and down the road you were totally committed to it? When I look back, I remember quite a number of them. Some of the time the thing that I would NEVER do, turned out to be pretty good. Not always, but more often than not. Not long ago, a friend shared a network marketing company with me and it is one of those things I said I would NEVER do. I said No, and he gave me their products to try. I loved them. But I said , No. and he let me look at the compensation plan. I said, Maybe. After drinking the energy drink and feeling wonderful and drinking the weight loss drink and losing a few pounds, I said, O.K. Tentatively. But I'm no longer tentative. This company has superb products, an amazing compensation plan,and a system that provides leads so you don't have to browbeat your family, friends and acquaintances. Listen to this show about Valentus. Hear Joel Blome's story and NEVER say never again.

Living in full expression is, or should be, the way we approach each day, each moment. If we are not in full expression we are in Self denial. We are denying our Self the love, beauty, passion, and, perhaps, the very reason for living. When we live in full expression we are true to ourselves, expressing who we know our Self to be in that moment. It is allowing who we are, our authentic self, our Divine Self to be seen, enjoyed, embraced, experienced and appreciated by all. And more importantly, it is our seeing, enjoying, embracing, experiencing and appreciating our Self for who we are and are in the process of being. These are Jim Phillips words, and this is what we are going to talk about on this show. Ask yourself, Am I living in full expression? and be sure to tune in. http://www.prosperitybydesign.com
It can be easier to dismiss our mystical experiences as imagination or coincidence than to question what we thought we knew about reality, or to wonder if you are going crazy. When mystical experiences occur, people awaken to a more humane worldview and a burning passion to inspire personal and global transformation. We will talk about these awakenings and transformations with Miriam Knight, co-author of What Wags the World: Tales of Conscious Awakening and founder of the on-line, New Consciousness Review, a quarterly publication promoting the people, ideas and the media driving this conscious awakening. This is groundbreaking information. Be sure to tune in. The tales of awakening from highly credible people just might change your mind about the nature of life, death and reality.

If you are overweight you may have tried everything you can think of to lose the weight and have a slender, healthy body. You probably have been to counselors, nutritionists and doctors who specialize in weight loss. You have been on starvation diets, ketosis diets, fad diets, and doctor-supervised diets. They all worked for a time and then—fat again. You have addressed every possible cause that you know of. But what about those causes you don't know about? What about the subconscious programming that isn't in your awareness but causes you to eat more than you need and prompts your body to hang on to every pound of fat it gets? Asher Fox addresses the subconscious, conscious and environmental levels of human behavior in a way that creates generative change and lasting life-long results. He specializes in weight loss and is having remarkable success. Ask yourself the question: Have I suffered enough? and tune in to hear what Asher Fox has to say. http://www.asherfox.com

Not too many years ago, if you told someone you wanted to meditate they looked at you as if you had two heads. It was for the very religious or uber spiritual. But meditation is now going mainstream and is practiced by athletes, professionals, celebrities and us just plain folks everywhere. Its health benefits have been studied and proclaimed widely and it is now being accepted as more than just o.k. One of the reasons it is catching on mainstream is because of people like Dan Harris. In 2014 Harris of ABC News published a book about his experience with Mindfulness Meditation and how it has helped him cope with the everyday stresses of life as a co-anchor on national news. Dan Harris is with us on this show to tell how it has made him 10% Happier. We have the privilege of hearing about it first hand—or as a news anchor would say, up close and personal.

One of the things that almost everyone is looking for, longing for even, is a loving relationship. Before the advent of the computer and the Internet we had newspapers that carried ads placed there by lonely men and women who were looking for companionship. Now we have on-line dating.

I am one of these and I'm going to talk about on-line dating in general and my experiences in particular. I may or may not be typical, but I will be honest about what I have learned. The questions? Is on-line dating safe? Is it productive? Is it for you? This should be fun so join me on Thursday's show

After the Christmas tree is down and the new has rubbed off of most of the gifts, after most people have returned to business as usual or life as normal some are still suffering and trying to recover. Holidays can be very challenging for the alcoholic who has promised himself he'd stay sober but just couldn't do it or the addict who succumbed to the stress and went back to his addiction of choice to make it through. For some of them it will be a slow return. Today we are going to talk about an alcohol and addiction program that has an unusually high success rate and greatly benefits those who are struggling with addiction. In November of 2013 we had Mark Sheeren, one of the founders of St. Jude's Retreats and Baldwin Research Institute, on the show and today we will talk with Michelle Dunbar, the Executive Director of the St. Jude Retreats and creator of their family program. There is help and there are programs that are successful.

The holidays are right around the corner and some of you are already worrying about the food and calories. Do you eat them or not. Carrot sticks or a brownie? It is estimated that the average American consumes 4,500 calories and a whopping 229 grams of fat from snacking and eating a traditional holiday dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. Not only do you add calories but you eat things that sap your energy, compromise your immune system and leave you feeling tired and sluggish. Ivy Larson is going to talk about how you can eat clean during the holidays and still have scrumptious food without the calories and additives.
Everyone wants to enjoy life to its fullest, but sometimes we get caught in a particular pattern, or are adrift, not certain of the path ahead. According to psychologist Dr. Deb Carlin, author of Build the Strength Within: Create the Blueprint for Your Best Life Yet, we need to envision our lives as the biggest and best projects we’ll ever take on. That means understanding our pasts–including both good and bad experiences–to gain clarity about how to move forward. She also points out that we all have greater inner strength than we imagine–strength that can help us deal with life’s challenges. But, strength alone is not enough. A better life does not happen without a blueprint that places us on an intentional track and that prompts us to be accountable and proactive. Dr. Carlin will explain how to create a personal blueprint.
Doug Bennett considers himself a head person— one who interacts with the world primarily through conscious thought, reason, rational discourse, words, etc. So WHY is he talking about feelings? He grew up believing feelings are not important and not to be discussed and, added to that, he's a scientist. However, his study of quantum physics made him realize that feelings and connection are the keys to our power in the universe. He states, The material journey turns out to be a journey of feelings.

Most of us, if not all of us have had a peak experience sometime in the course of our lives. Think back to a time when something moved you, made you gasp and marvel—a sunset, a piece of music, or something in nature. Ed O'Keefe writes about these mountain top experiences in his book, Take It From the Top: What to Do With a Peak Experience and we will talk about them on this show. He will share stories of peak experiences of his own and of others and will explain how we can enhance the number of peak experiences we have. We will talk about the kind of occurrence that made Julie Andrews say of an especially uplifting performance, One senses the audience feels it, too, and together we ride the ecstasy all the way home. Join us for what could be a most remarkable and meaningful show.
Kisses! Don't we all like kisses? We're going to talk about kisses but not the kind of kisses you usually think of. KISSES stands for Keep It Simple Steps for Evolving Spiritually.

Are you getting married or is someone close to you planning a wedding? Then consider this question: What should you do before you say, 'I Do?' It seems that with so many marriages ending in divorce, we should give this question some serious consideration. Susan Ziggy wrote a book that answers that question. She wants to help couples lay a solid foundation for their relationship to pave the way for a lasting, happy marriage. No couple goes into a marriage planning to get a divorce, so what happens? What are the things you can do before the wedding that will help to solidify the relationship? We're going to have a lively discussion about getting ready for the married life that starts after the wedding. This show will have helpful information for all couples whether they are dating, engaged or have been married for a number of years. Tune in.

What happens to your body when you rub on deodorant or antiperspirant that contains aluminum on a daily basis? What happens when you brush your teeth regularly with toothpaste full of blue plastic beads? Have you ever read the labels on your skin care products and makeup to realize they are full of dyes and things you can't pronounce much less understand? Are you aware of the harmful effects these chemicals can have on your health over a long period of use? Isn't it time we take a look at what we put on our skin? After all, the skin is the largest organ of our body and what we rub into it affects our health and well being.

Scientist Anders Nilsson, PhD has been active in academia all his adult life, and, for just as many years, he has pursued an avid interest in spirituality. Although he currently keeps his scientific and spiritual work separate, he views the two as complementing each other. He considers science as the discipline best equipped to explore and understand the outer or physical world. Whereas, he regards spirituality as the field more adept to help us investigate and understand those experiences beyond our physical senses. Nilsson truly believes that humanity has a wonderful future ahead if more individuals work to transform their inner self using science and technology as tools to manifest in the physical world what the heart desires. His book The Gentle Way of the Heart will serve as a jumping off place for our discussion. Think about this: What does your heart truly desire? http://www.warwickassociates.com/about/book-campaigns/the-gentle-way-of-the-heart/

The fast pace of our lives can seem like an infinite loop. For many, this includes the constant barrage of emails, a 24/7 workplace, busy families, the challenges of uncertainty, and life’s trials and tribulations. All of this can make it easy for someone to get sucked into a “poor me” cycle. Instead of dwelling on the negative, David Mezzapelle recommends tuning your mind to Positive Forward Thinking—the ability to find the silver lining in every cloud no matter how difficult yesterday or today may be. Mezzapelle believes that we all have stories that can inspire and motivate others across many of life's themes. “We all have the capacity to make optimism contagious,” says Mezzapelle. “Whether people are enduring good times or bad, just knowing that others have persevered from similar experiences is comforting and delivers a message of hope,” he asserts. Tune in and hear from David Mezzapelle how YOU can develop Contageous Optimism.
Did you know that only 13% of people feel “psychologically committed” to their work? The rest are either going through the motions, or actively dislike what they do every day. At the same time, what we choose to stay with (or let go of) creates the structure and foundation of our lives—whether in work, relationships, or personal goals. Dr. Heidi Reeder will discuss how commitment is different from motivation and willpower, and why it matters. We will also take a look at how people can identify what they are truly committed to and methods for increasing commitment where we need it most. She will give us some simple strategies for beginning to move on from something that no longer works do something that does. How committed are you to your work? Think about it and tune in to hear Dr. Heidi Reeder.

The Hawaiians have a practice called Ho'oponopono which means to make right. The practice offers an alternative to feeling powerless to effect change, whether in ourselves or in our world. It answers the question, What can I do to help? Ho'oponopono is a process of conflict resolution and in this show we are viewing it as a process of resolving the conflicts within us by working on ourselves rather than on the circumstances around us. Think about it. What if, by working with yourself, you were no longer rattled by what was going on around you? What if, in doing this work you came to realize the peace and love you have been searching for all your life? You may have tried everything else. Why not take a look at Ho'oponopono. Besides, just saying it gives a nice feeling. Try it. HOH-oh-POH-noh-POH-noh. For more see http://jamesnourse.com
Listening is an art practiced by way too few. Some of us, rather than listen, plan what we are going to say when it's our turn to speak so we don't really know what was said. On the flip side, we all know people who talk, and talk and talk but really don't say anything. They seem to be in love with the sound of their own voice and no one else has a chance to respond or speak. Like in everything else there should be a balance between speaking and listening. Eric Wagner addresses this for young managers who seem to want to cover up their insecurities by over-talking. His recently released book, Shutting Up talks about effective communication and offers a plan for achieving success as a manager. We will discuss: When are the most important times to shut up? What major mistakes do many managers make? How can managers get more respect? and more. You don't have to be in management to gain valuable help for yourself in improving your listening skills. Tune in.
Sometimes things are not what they seem to be. We've all experienced that in one way or another. Tom (Beardsley) North grew up in the family made famous by Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda who played the parents in the movie Yours, Mine and Ours. It was one of those perfect families you see on the big screen—a story patterned after the Beardsleys. The family was portrayed as a comical and harmonious blend of Helen North's eight children, Frank Beardsley's ten children and two of their children as only Hollywood could contrive. But the movie and reality were far apart. Tom tells what it was really like living in that famous but abusive family. It is his hope that he can help others who have survived or are involved in abusive situations. Tom's is a story of survival, hope and triumph at its best.
On a scale of 1 to 10 where would you rate your self esteem? Some of you will say minus 3 and some of you would like the scale to be higher. We talk about self esteem a lot these days, but do you know what self esteem really is? It is much more than simply how you feel about yourself. On this show we're going to talk about self esteem, what it is, how it affects us, how we build it and how we can change it. Nathaniel Brandon, the Father of the Self Esteem Movement says that it cannot be acquired by blowing oneself a kiss in the mirror and saying, “Good morning, Perfect.” Okay, how DO you improve it?

Most of us have awakened in the morning remembering a particular vivid dream and wondered what it meant. Some of us have had a recurring dream over a period of years and could not grasp its significance. Sometimes we have a feeling of a dream but we just can't remember it clearly and the feeling remains with us throughout the day. According to Justina Lasley we can discover the meaning of these dreams and use them to improve our lives. She states in the preface of her forthcoming book, Wake Up, Our dreams take into account our past experiences, vulnerabilities, and strengths, and can lead us to our future. We're going to talk with Justina about our dreams, how to remember them, and how to understand them. What can they teach us? How can they help us in our life's journey? Do dreams bring us special messages? If so, how do we know what that message is? Oh, so many questions. Tune in to hear Justina's answers.

Does consciousness continue after the body dies? If so, can we interact with that consciousness? There are those who say they get messages from the other side who are called psychic mediums. If they aren't communicating with that person who has passed, how do they know what they know? Where does that information that no-one else can know come from? Is there any scientific explanation for this phenomenon? Mark Ireland, a successful businessman, will talk about messages he has received from his son who died in his teens and will discuss his work studying the validity of mediumship from a scientific point of view. This is one show you won't want to miss.

Tab Edwards argues that there is a very big difference between being “selfish” and acting “self-interested.” Many people, parents especially, feel that acting in their self-interest carries a stigma of being selfish and leaves them feeling guilty. The self-interested consider the needs of others, while the selfish do not. Acting in our self-interest is vital to survival and is not mutually exclusive from caring for others. Edwards explores a linkage between a person acting in their own self-interest and a resulting positive impact on society called “The Chain of Self-Interest,” which shows the connection between a person’s needs and how acting in their self-interest to satisfy those needs leads to The Common Good. We will feature his latest book, Chocolate Peppers: Why Acting in Your Own Self-Interest is Good for You, Your Loved Ones, Society, and the World.
Dr. Jeffrey Millman, a holistically oriented family physician, will help us understand some of the tougher questions: Why do good people suffer? Why do we have to experience pain?

How much are we really in control of our own health and wellness? What does the soul have to do with our health? What happens when we die? His recently published book, Leap of Faith: Transforming Physical and Emotional Pain Into Spiritual Growth discusses these questions and more. If you want to know how a holistic physician approaches the practice of medicine, be sure to tune in to hear what Dr. Millman has to say.

Pete Giannini is a survivor—a survivor of an addiction to crack cocaine. Crack addiction is a process that is both rapid and severe and approximately 6.2 million (2.8 percent) Americans age 12 or older say they have tried it at least once in their lifetime. It messes up your brain, your body, and your lifestyle and its cost is very high financially, emotionally, physically and socially.

We read the books Life after Life and Proof of Heaven, and with all this, we are still skeptical.

All Americans want to be safe from terrorism and other threats to our national security. But, according to West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran Paul K. Chappell, we must debunk the myth that war makes us safe. “I want to shatter commonly held stereotypes about soldiers and peace activists,” he says. “These stereotypes not only deceive and divide us, but they also prevent us from understanding the art of waging peace and the power it gives us to solve our national and global problems.” In his latest book, The Art of Waging Peace: A Strategic Approach to Improving Our Lives and the World, Chappell shows that war is not the answer to protecting America’s interests or its citizens. He presents an innovative strategy for peace, replacing our war system with a more effective security paradigm.

This translates personally into What goes around comes around or I will reap what I sow.

Can you imagine a world where everyone was honest all the time? Not the 'say whatever you’re thinking' kind of honesty, but the simply sincere kind. Genuine. Free. You would never have to worry if your friend was secretly mad at you, or your boss disappointed. People would like you for you, not for the Phantom of the Opera mask you wear outside, concealing the side you’re afraid to show. These are the words Kira Newman used to describe her informal study on honesty. Every week people in the program reported on their honesty rating for the week. She's going to tell us what they said and what she discovered. In the meantime, think about how honest you are—with yourself and others.

Few people today doubt the power of positive thinking. We all know that if we expect to fail, then failure is inevitably what we get. What you believe can and does have a huge impact on the quality of your life—from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. But have you ever stopped to consider your own beliefs—to truly examine them and decide for yourself if they are serving you or sabotaging you? Eldon Taylor has spent over 25 years researching the power of the mind and developing scientifically proven methods to use this power to enhance the quality of your life. His book, I Believe, just released in paperback, is a book that will not only inspire you, but will highlight the kinds of beliefs you hold that may be causing you to fail. In the process, it will provide you with the opportunity to choose, once again, the beliefs that drive your life. Eldon Taylor

Chesterton said, Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. Do you fly?

Are you an exercise addict? How much exercise is TOO much? In these days of ever-increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyles we hear more and more about the need for a healthy diet and more exercise. We see programs like The Biggest Loser and the very strenuous exercise programs they have. Gyms are springing up everywhere, exercise DVD's and games are proliferating and stylish workout clothes are a big business. Some people seem to live for and in the gym.

He remembers looking down at his body from high on the wall in the corner near the ceiling and needing to get back in it.

Dr. Vansant will address the problems we face in our educational system today. Many people are concerned these days about the fact that some children are finishing school without the basic skills of reading, writing and doing the simplest math. We hear about bullying and we hear report after report about shootings and threatened shootings of and by students. Many graduates are not qualified for college or for employment. What is happening and what can we do about it? What are the effects of technology on the education of our children? What about home schooling? Why is the drop out rate going higher and what can we do about it? Are standardized tests helpful or harmful? What do we need to do to save education and restore a system of excellence? These are some of the issues we will discuss and the questions Dr. Vansant will answer. Be sure to tune in.
We have all experienced fear. We know the smell of it and the taste of it. We have felt it as a twinge in the pit of our stomach and as terror that paralyzes. We have ignored it, run from it, grappled with it, and jumped in feet first to deal with it. Some people seem to thrive on it for the thrill of accomplishment. Why? It's in the answer to the question? Why did you have to climb Mt. Everest? and the answer Because it was there. Jamail Yogis studied fear —particularly his own fear —and wrote a book about it. It is a book everyone who is held back by fear should read and one we will talk about. You can look forward to an honest, real, in-depth look at a young man's fear—on a surfboard, in relationships, in various challenges—and learn how to handle your own. Don't miss this one. Jaimal had a sometimes wild ride and is here to tell us about it.
Conflict is also a necessary part of life. Through conflict we find great catharsis.

But like many other indulgences in life, we are prone to over consume, writes Nathan Snow in his book Break Your Addiction to Conflict. Snow will discuss how we can free ourselves from the tempting orbit of conflict and learn to quiet our mind. Acknowledging that some conflict is healthy and necessary for personal growth, he will discuss how to handle the overload of conflict that robs us of our serenity. He will also give us tools to help us overcome our addiction to conflict.

Marlise Karlin is recognized globally for igniting an energy of peace that brings exceptional healing to the mind and body. One of her current topics is to stop bullying. She believes that in order to stop bullying of ourselves and others, we have to resolve the core issue–you can't recognize the value of another human being if you don't recognize your own.“When we go beyond the surface to the core of our greatest intelligence, which lies at the heart of stillness, no one has to tell us to value another. It comes naturally because we have connected to the basic tenets of what it is to be human,” says Marlise.“I have seen extraordinary change take place for victims and abusers when they incorporated this simple practice into their lives.” Hear what Marlise has to say about the power of stillness.

Do you remember the giggles you had as a child that you just couldn't stop and you laughed until you simply couldn't laugh anymore? Do you remember how good you felt for a long time after that? Did you ever do that? Do you laugh at work? Do you laugh at home? Do you play only to win or do you play for fun? Do you laugh when you play? Do you know how important real laughter is to your health and well-being? On this show we will talk about laughter with the king of laughter—Steve Wilson, an official Joyologist who loves to laugh and have you to laugh with him. This is a show that no one should miss—especially if there is just not enough laughter in your life.

In the UK and Europe, a young teacher named Jeff Foster is quietly awakening a new generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of an abiding presence and peace in our ever-shifting world. His informal gatherings, blogs, and “kitchen-table video posts” have created a rising tide of interest in his teachings. He states, Our deepest longing is not for a drink, or a cigarette, or sex, or the next high, but for the deepest acceptance. We will talk about this deepest acceptance and what it means in all areas of our lives. While Jeff delightfully admits the irony of writing a book to convey something that is beyond words to teach, he confirms his ability to guide us in unexpected new ways to a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what’s happening in our lives. We will address why we have so much trouble accepting ourselves as we are and why we have such deep resistance to life. Tune in to hear what Jeff has to say.
It is estimated that seven in ten girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members. 75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities such as disordered eating, cutting, bullying, smoking, or drinking when feeling bad about themselves (compared to 25% of girls with high self-esteem). Michael Lawrience, after thirteen years of working with teens, has written Self-Esteem: A Teen’s Guide for Girls to address this issue of and give girls the necessary tools to help them raise their self esteem and their self confidence. We will discuss the pressures society puts on girls to look and act in certain ways and what we can do to help them develop a healthy body image and become secure, self confident young women.
Look around your house and/or your office. Do you have too much stuff? What if you got rid of all of it? Yes, all of it.

Do you use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without? Our grandmothers knew the importance of responsible, thrifty choices. But somewhere along the way we succumbed to the belief that we can get everything for next to nothing, have it shipped halfway around the world and then, more often than not, just throw it away. This consumer binge is taking its toll. Diet- and lifestyle-related illnesses are epidemic, our environment is awash in a sea of plastic, our climate is changing, and the cost of everything is skyrocketing with the price of oil. Are we doomed? No way! We can make greener, healthier choices, and we can do it while saving money. Deborah Niemann will share with us ways to make these cheaper, greener choices for a happier healthier life.

Ken Solin states, “What I’ve learned over two decades is that there are no shortcuts for healing the emotional wounds that hold men back in every aspect of their lives.

When a man shares his feelings with other men, he is expressing his absolute truth.” Ken will talk about his own personal journey as well as his work with men's groups and men's issues. You are welcome to call in.

Obesity is an American epidemic that is passed from one person to another on a plate – literally – a plate filled with greasy fast foods, gooey sugary food and excessive amounts of food accompanied by a large sugar packed soft drink. According to Dr. Larry’s book, Calorie Wars: Fat, Fact and Fiction, 46% of American adults and 33% of our children are obese. Associated with obesity are increased risk for joint problems, angina, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes and, ultimately premature death. This doesn’t take into account the low self esteem and quality of life issues. Weight Loss has become a $40 billion per year industry and growing as rapidly as our waistlines. While most diets fail, Dr. Larry combines eating control with hypnosis to help you “restructure your relationship with food.”

But what do we mean by “Digital Universe and “Digital Divine?” Science is all about logic while spiritual or religious wisdom is primarily based on love. On this show we will talk about how to combine the two. The latest science of quantum computation leads to a proposal that the universe is a quantum computer and our mind is also like a computer plugged into this giant computer.

Donnie Tash, a psychotherapist, was a reluctant psychic. Emerging from a coma after surgical complications he had abilities he had never had before. Much to his own surprise, he was able t o communicate with those who have crossed over to the other side as well as communicate with animals. He is currently a co-founder of the website psychiclibrary.com, which is an interactive and educational site dedicated to the psychic/metaphysical realm. The goal of the site is to present all of this information in an understandable and down-to-earth way. The site offers first-hand and unique insights about the afterlife from his experiences as a psychic medium, among other things. We will talk about his fascinating life change, his work with the psychic library as well as his work with both people and animals. I met him at a holistic health gathering and for the first time in the ten year history of the gathering, animals were present and simply led their owners to Donnies booth. I watched it as it happened. I have a cat with a very bad habit of using the spot under the piano instead of the litter box which Donnie knew about before I met him.

Is marketing making us ill? That is the question marketer and coach Lynn Serafinn poses in this eye-opening, informative and inspiring read. A bold, holistic and often spiritual examination not merely of the world of advertising, but also of our entire world view, this book reveals how our relationships with Self, others, our businesses, our economy and the Earth impact every aspect of our lives. Lynn shows the impact consumer culture has upon our health, our economy and the delicate ecological balance of our natural world. As much for the conscious consumer as the business owner, this book shows why traditional ways of selling are ultimately doomed to fail, and how both business owners and consumers can begin to heal the world by embracing a new paradigm Lynn calls 'The 7 Graces of Marketing.'

Doug Noll is a peacemaker. With a background as a trial attorney, a black belt in Chinese Kung Fu and experience working with women in the world’s toughest prison, he certainly has the knowledge and skill to resolve conflict in non-peaceful ways. He chooses peacemaking through mediation. As he became interested in international mediation efforts he observed that international mediators, for the most part, were inexperienced in the science and art of mediation. Their rookie mistakes were making things worse, often leading to genocide or further war. Unfortunately, political leaders, diplomats, special envoys, and retired generals are often appointed to a job for which they are not trained nor have sufficient aptitude. Elusive Peace shows why we can no longer afford to allow political, diplomatic, and military leaders to mediate peace accords. They simply don’t know what they are doing. This is sure to be an interesting and provocative show that you won’t want to miss.

More than 50 percent of all marriages in America end in divorce. Why do so many couples fail at staying together? Social forces and moral factors aside, the answer comes down to a simple fact: relationships are complicated. Couples muddle through them without much guidance, then feel dismayed and betrayed when they disappoint. Imagine how much more successful and satisfying relationships would be if couples had a road map to follow, with detours on resolving differences and strengthening common bonds. Imagine how much happier countless people would be if they had clear warning signs to help them avoid getting into a bad relationship in the first place. Julie Orlov has addressed these issues in her new book In the Pathway to Love: Create Intimacy and Transform Your Relationships through Self-Discovery and will share he ideas with us on this show.

“Leadership” is a term that has been studied, analyzed, defined, and redefined for decades. When businessman and entrepreneur Jeremie Kubicek was hurt in a life threatening car accident, he was faced with his own mortality – and was able to gain a kind of clarity that few will ever experience.
