Susan Cross left the country believing she was healthy. During her Caribbean vacation,
she hiked and snorkeled. But days before she was to fly home her appendix burst and
she nearly died. She and her husband had to scramble to coordinate her treatment.
Cross learned the hard way that a passport is not the only travel document required for
international trips. Now she is making it her mission to help other travelers to create
their own Medical Travel Portfolio.
The author of Power of Disruption: A Memoir of Discovery, the story in which she
documents her Caribbean experience, Cross says a Medical Travel Portfolio should
contain both a Medical Biography and Medical Contact Sheet. The bio includes a copy
of your itinerary, health insurance card and relevant phone numbers, your basic medical
history, and a list of current medications and immunizations.
Cross is a media veteran; as a PR person for corporate America and a crisis
communications specialist, she has been featured on NPR, HGTV and in the New York

harassment they have faced. But Dr. Jeanne Sanner says women still need to do more.
Some would say she has a controversial take, that women for their own sake need to

But at home you struggle to be in control. Your brilliant problem-solving skills dissolve into nothingness. And, what’s worse, you feel squeezed between the demands of your boss, the needs of your staff, your immense workload, and your kids. What to do?
At last count, there were 13.6 million single parents in America doing their best to raise over 21 million children. Sara Sherman is the author of “The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” book Sara had grown tired of hearing all the blah, blah, blah about how awful life was as a single mom, and how her children were going to grow up to be horrible failures simply because she was not married.

spirit encounter. Rest is what makes sleep sweet.”

For many people in relationships, the real success test is how you approach compromise. But for some, this is a minefield full of explosive behavior and triggers.

Are you in or interested in creating a relationship that goes beyond the norm in some way, in gender, number, expression or style? At her website Love Outside the Box, relationship expert Dawn Davidson provides counseling, information on establishing boundaries as well as suggestions on how to deal with jealousy and much more. Today we’re going to talk about polyamory and the lessons everyone can learn from this unique and often misunderstood type of relationship.
Researchers estimate that as many as 5 percent of Americans are currently in relationships involving consensual non-monogamy — that is, permission to go outside the couple looking for love or sex.The boundaries in these relationships are remarkably varied, with some couples negotiating one-off "swinging" or partner-swapping experiences and others forming stable bonds among three, four or five partners simultaneously. The latter is a version of polyamory, relationships in which people have multiple partnerships at once with the full knowledge of everyone involved.

Imagine a world where you can connect with a compassionate listener as quicklyas you can order an Uber. Jeremy Fischbach is a co-founder of Happiness Amplification Project, or 'Happy,' which aims to provide people with affordable emotional support on demand.
The premise of Happy is simple: there are millions of Americans who aren't receiving the emotional support that they need--they are hungry for comfort, encouragement, and affirmation. Happy aims to connect these two groups with each other over the phone. For example, a person struggling with the aftermath of a divorce can call in and receive encouragement and empathy from a caring retiree who has the time and desire to help support others. Jeremy studied psychology at Princeton, has a law degree, and has been involved with a number of projects at the intersection of psychology and technology.

My True Self” is lighting up the blogosphere.

A real-life political thriller about an American financier in the Wild East of Russia, the murder of his principled young tax attorney, and his dangerous mission to expose the Kremlin’s corruption.
Bill Browder’s journey started on the South Side of Chicago and moved through Stanford Business School to the dog-eat-dog world of hedge fund investing in the 1990s. It continued in Moscow, where Browder made his fortune heading the largest investment fund in Russia after the Soviet Union’s collapse. But when he exposed the corrupt oligarchs who were robbing the companies in which he was investing, Vladimir Putin turned on him and, in 2005, had him expelled from Russia.
In 2007, a group of law enforcement officers raided Browder’s offices in Moscow and stole $230 million of taxes that his fund’s companies had paid to the Russian government. Browder’s attorney Sergei Magnitsky investigated the incident and uncovered a sprawling criminal enterprise. A month after Sergei testified against the officials involved, he was arrested and thrown into pre-trial detention, where he was tortured for a year. On November 16, 2009, he was led to an isolation chamber, handcuffed to a bedrail, and beaten to death by eight guards in full riot gear.
Browder glimpsed the heart of darkness, and it transformed his life: he embarked on an unrelenting quest for justice in Sergei’s name, exposing the towering cover-up that leads right up to Putin. A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world. - See more at: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Red-Notice/Bill-Browder/9781476755717#sthash.33OnZC9p.dpuf

Hi, I’m Shawn Stevenson.
My mission is to help you become the strongest, healthiest, happiest version of yourself.
I believe that we all are AMAZING people being exactly the way we are right now. But I also believe that there is a “greater” version of us that can be accessed through the right nutrition, exercise, and transformational mindset.
In order to become this incredible, strong, happy, healthy version of yourself, you first have to identify WHY you need to become it.
And that’s where my secret sauce comes in.
I’ve been so successful over the years in helping others, not because of my vast health & fitness knowledge, but because I actually care enough to help people get connected to what’s most important to them to fuel their actions and transformation.
You can only push yourself so far, but if you get connected to your real reason for living, your vision of yourself will pull you to results far beyond what you ever thought possible.
I now have 11+ years of working with clients as one of the top Nutrition Experts in the country. I’ve seen people reverse chronic illnesses, achieve stunning levels of fitness, and lose thousands of pounds collectively. Where do those pounds go anyway? ~just a side thought… sorry, let me

'This is the story of my ch . . . ch . . . changes, which took me from insanity to clarity, from egocentricity to altruism, from alcoholism to activism. These changes have marked an evolution in what I want from this life. I am what I want. What I seek to consume, possess, and achieve is a mirror that reflects my lusts and cravings, values and priorities, and moral boundaries or lack thereof. I am happy to say that what I want today is much less toxic and self-centered than what I used to want. It's taken decades of selfexamination to peel back the layers and figure out what really makes me happy. And while I'm still searching for my ultimate bliss, I know for sure it's not what I once thought it was. It's not alcohol, cigarettes, money, food, sugar, or status symbols: I've consumed all of those in massive quantities, and they've just made me miserable. Now, I want what can't be tasted, smoked, worn, seen, or counted. It's the opposite of material. As sappy as it might sound, what I want is spiritual.'

In 2012, Tammy’s world was turned upside down when she detached from her emotionally abusive mother. Within two years, her self-talk, relationships, and coaching practice transformed through a soul guided process she calls “Loving Detachment”.
This is how Tammy defines MDT- Mama Drama Trauma.
Mama Drama Trauma is a condition by which the mother inflicts unhealed aspects of herself onto her children causing physical and/or emotional trauma. In extreme cases where the mother is unable, unwilling or unavailable to heal, loving detachment is not just an option, it is the last resort for the child to live a happy, healthy and whole life.

Tom Gagliano has worn many hats throughout his career. As a young man, he soon became a successful entrepreneur with a proven track record in small business ventures in the greater New York area. About ten years ago, Tom started to spend less time in the business world and more time helping those who suffered from negative childhood messages. To pursue a dream of helping others, he returned to school to receive an MSW at age 51. His book, The Problem Was Me: How to End Negative Self-Talk and Take Your Life to a New Level, with Dr. Abraham Twerski, is one-of-a-kind. It explores how we sabotage the happiness in our lives simply because we are so afraid of intimacy. We become our own worst enemy as we subconsciously push away our loved ones. Tom helps people understand why we push others away so we can enhance the intimacy in our lives.
Today Tom is a life coach, published author, and a key note speaker with a Master’s degree in social work. He was a bully as a kid and a recovering addict. He eventually went to addictions to medicate his problems. He realized at an early age he needed to fix what was broken inside of him. He then had two goals. One he wanted to give his children what his father couldn’t give me, A SAFE PLACE TO SHARE their FEELINGS WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE. Next he wanted to help others silence that destructive inner voice they grew up with. Today he facilitates men and women’s groups as well as marriage consultations explaining the ways to give parents the tools to give their children the positive and loving messages that may have been denied to them in their childhood.

David Richo
How to let love into our lives, and how to express that love to the world at large—the latest from a best-selling author.
We were made to love and be loved. Loving ourselves and others is in our genetic code. It’s nothing other than the purpose of our lives—but knowing that doesn’t make it easy to do. We may find it a challenge to love ourselves. We may have a hard time letting love in from others. We’re often afraid of getting hurt. It is also sometimes scary for us to share love with those around us—and love that isn't shared leaves us feeling flat and unfulfilled.
David Richo provides the tools here for learning how to love in evolved adult ways—beginning with getting past the barriers that keep us from loving ourselves, then showing how we can learn to open to love others.
Richo provides wisdom from Buddhism, psychology, and a range of spiritual traditions, along with a wealth of practices both for avoiding the pitfalls that can occur in love relationships and for enhancing the way love shows up in our lives. He then leads us on to love’s inevitable outcome: developing a heart that loves universally and indiscriminately. This transcendent and unconditional love isn’t just for a heroic few, Richo shows, it’s everyone’s magnificent calling.

HEIDI ALFREY
My next guest says she recognized the importance of living naked in
1983 when she awoke in a jail cell after her third arrest for drinking
and driving. That day, Heidi Alfrey stopped lying to herself when she realized
the damage addiction had done to her sense of authenticity and
self-worth. Through the loving support of two powerful spiritual
communities, Alcoholics Anonymous and Unity, she was able to drop
her self-defeating patterns of denial and shame and emerge anew.
Heidi is an ordained Unity minister and holds a Master’s degree in
Marriage and Family Therapy. She is an inspiring healer and the
founder of Transparent Living Ministries at www.heidialfrey.com

Dr. Randi Gunther is a clinical psychologist and marriage counselor practicing in Southern California. In her forty year career, she has accumulated over 100,000 face-to-face hours with individuals, couples, and families. She has inspired hundreds of people in her workshops and lectures to go beyond their limitations and create successful relationships. A practical idealist, she encourages her patients to give up their negative entanglements and to pursue their dreams.
"The creation of a long-lasting, wonderful relationship is not automatic or easy. Like any other important commitment, it can only continue paying dividends with a continuous re-investment of time, energy, and devotion. From the thousands of hours I've spent with couples and individuals, I have learned what skills and values successful couples practice that ensure their love will continue to regenerate. My books are an encapsulation of those principles."
Dr. Gunther and her husband met when they were in their teens and have continued their mutual devotion for over sixty years. They feel that the principles and skills in this book are what have successfully guided them on their journey through life together.
