Or is it that you have been in unsuccessful relationships in the past and are willing to wait until the perfect mate comes along? We take a look at all sides of being "single longer than planned." Guests include husband & wife psychologists Barak Bar Chaim & Aliza Bar Chaim (co-founders of The Guide To Find Your Right Life Partner), Daniel Lee (author of Do What You're Built For), dating coach Bobbi Palmer (creator of Date Like A Grownup and offering a free offer to Dr. Veronica's listeners), screenwriter Jeanne Latter, psychologist Laura Lee Carter (author of How to Believe in Love Again), and Dema Shamel of Get What You Want Now.
Wondering why you don't seem to lose weight, even though you eat nothing but fat-free foods? It's no mystery, according to today's guest, Dr. Veronica Collings. She shares the story of how she turned around her own weight and health issues, in an interview that ranges from your body's true nutritional needs, to chiropractic, to Argentine tango dancing! Also, an installment of Fits You To A Tea.
As our nation's obesity rate continues to rise, a debate rages on: Are big people necessarily unhealthy and unfit? Should we be working toward greater acceptance and larger accomodations in public facilities? Or is obesity a health crisis that threatens our economy, so junk food should be taxed like tobacco and big people charged higher insurance rates? A lively discussion with Linda Bacon, Ph.D. (author of Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight), Deane Waldman, MD MBA (author of Uproot U.S. Healthcare), best-selling author & obesity activist Julia Havey, Marilyn Wann (fat activist & author of Fat!So?), marketer Bill Shelton, and fitness instructor Dana Schuster.
Our focus is on holistic pet care, and the emotional benefits of keeping a pet. Dr. Veronica's first guest is Jan Allegretti (author of The Complete Holistic Dog Book: Home Health Care for Our Canine Companions), who discusses natural preventative health care, nutrition, and a homeopathic approach to treating many common canine illnesses. Then Dr. Beth Erickson (psychologist, bestselling author of Marriage Isn't For Sissies, and radio host of Relationships 101) shares her insights on owner pet relationships, dealing with loss of a beloved pet, and the impact of a pet on family relationships.
We teach the "birds & bees," but what about being a respectful and skilled sex partner? And still educate about safety, relationships, self-respect and making choices about when and with whom to share their bodies? Guests are Holly Hill, best-selling author of Sugarbabe & Toyboy, Dr. Joni Frater & Esther Lastique, co-authors of Love Her Right & creators of Sex Ed Boot Camp, former Days of Our Lives actresses Kimberley A. Johnson and Ann Werner, co-authors of The Virgin Diaries, psychologist Dr. Nancy Buck (creator of Peaceful Parenting and author of Why Do Kids Act That Way), and Christian organizer Holly Boyd, and psychologist John Morella, Ph.D, author of Give Teens A Break!.
Do you sometimes wonder what kind of a world we are handing the next generation? Find out what they think about everything from oil spills, politics, morality, love and sex to their own hopes for the future as Dr. Veronica interviews 3 young adults: her own son and his lifelong best friend, who are about to embark on their college careers, and a 21-year-old college student.
The trend in parenting that seems to be getting the most attention these days is that of the Tiger Mother: the super-strict, no playtime, achievement-oriented, hard-driving parent. But many in our culture have a problem with that approach, and our panel is here to discuss different means of parenting. Guests are Armin "Mr. Dad" Brott, author of The Expectant Father, psychologist Dr. John Duffy (author The Available Parent), Lynette Louise (author Miracles Are Made—A Real Life Guide To Autism), psychologist Dr. Nancy Buck (creator of Peaceful Parenting and author of Why Do Kids Act That Way), CPA Cheryl Smith, and real life parent Paula.
It is difficult enough for each of us to grow into a happy, productive adult with relationships that fulfill us personally and sexually. But children who were sexually abused have an even tougher path: they often face lifelong issues with intimacy, trust, shame and anger and are much more likely to become abusers themselves. Yet we as a society remain uncomfortable talking about the subject. Guest Brian Beckstead, raised in a Mormon household, tells his story and Dr. Nancy Irwin, sex abuse counsellor, shares surprising information about who sex abusers are and how they can be helped.
Want to live to be 100? Researcher Howard S. Friedman, Ph.D. has some news that may surprise you: people don't die simply from working long hours or from stress, that marriage is no golden ticket to old age, and the happy-all-the-time types may peter out before the serious plodders. His new book is The Longevity Project: Surprising Discoveries for Health and Long Life from the Landmark Eight-Decade Study. He also blogs regularly for Psychology Today. Also visiting are Walter M. Bortz II, M.D., author of Dare To Be 100: 99 Steps to a Long, Healthy Life, and author and body language expert Carolyn Finch.
Guest Stacey A. Lundgren is a model mom—who happens to have married a man who secretly had sex with her children. So as at other difficult times in her life, she did the right thing and got her away from him. Eventually she remarried and had a second family. And it happened again. How can this happen? Dr. Veronica shares this shocking story and explores the underpinnings of child abuse and signs to watch for. Stacey A. Lundgren is a member of the National Speakers' Association and author of the book True Bucketfilling Stories: Legacies of Love.
Shaped like a butterfly and weighing less than half an ounce, your thyroid gland regulates the speed of your entire metabolism. And the foods you eat affect your thyroid.

Also visiting is Dr. Dale Peterson, radio host and author of Building Health By Design, Dr. Tom Taylor, author of Clean House: A Practical Guide For Your Insides, and pracitioner Gail Smithson of the Smithson Clinic.
Everybody has to do it. So why are Americans so afraid to die, especially as we grow older? Dr. Veronica welcomes Tani Bahti, founder of Passages Education, an organization which helps people prepare for the death of their loved ones through knowledge and respect for the natural dying process. Then Dr. Boyd C. Purcell, author of Spiritual Terrorism: Spiritual Abuse from the Womb to the Tomb, offers his view that religion leaves so many people terrified that their death will put them into an eternity of torture.
It's become a familiar headline—children sexually abused by church leaders, who ought to be worthy of the utmost trust. What can we do about this? Are there ways to spot the perpetrators who abuse the trust placed in them? Guests include psychologist Dr. Nancy Irwin, who recalls her own sexual abuse and today treats abusers, psychiatrist and sex therapist Dr. Susan Delaney (I Didn't Fall, I Was Pushed: Triumphant Recovery From Clergy Sex Abuse), author Russ Reina (Moments in the Death of a Flesh Mechanic), and Rebecca Kimbel, survivor of a polygamous cult and officer of Safe Kids Now.
Are we doomed to our usual relationships, even though we know they so often fade and go wrong? Here are two variations on the traditional. Guest Diana Daffner, author of Tantric Sex for Busy Couples, defines tantra as a means to slowing down the lovemaking, adding lots of eye contact, and finding a divine experience by truly letting your partner deep into your heart. Then Dr. Deborah Anapol, author of Polyamory in the 21st Century, introduces us to the concept of polyamory—having long-term, loving relationships with more than one person, completely openly. Is that really possible?
Spiritual or religious abuse can be a serious mental health condition—people traumatized by their religious teachings and terrified of punishment and eternal torture after their deaths. How do religious people reconcile this after some "transgression" in their lives, perhaps a divorce, an illegitimate child, an abortion or homosexuality? Do they find a way to be at peace and continue in their religion, or move on to another (or no) spiritual path? Fascinating personal stories from W. Michael King, Ph.D. (author Atheists Can Get To "Heaven": Perspectives From The Journey Beyond The Tunnel Of Light), Peterson Toscano, who spent 17 years and over $30,000 on 3 continents attempting to "heal" his homosexuality, Joe Knudson (author of Living The Difference), Boyd C. Purcell, Ph.D. (author of Spiritual Terrorism: Spiritual Abuse from the Womb to the Tomb), and Debra Moffitt, author of Awake in the World: 108 Practices to Live a Divinely Inspired Life.
What's going on in the world today? Have you noticed a new level of nasty in the way people treat each other? Today we routinely encounter name-calling, vicious gossip and devious scheming everywhere from reality shows to political discussions to the corporate boardroom. When did this become acceptable, and how? Guest Carl Eeman, author of Generations of Faith, puts this through a generational wringer: are Baby Boomers to blame or Gen X'ers? Then Dr. James Huysman, therapist, author, Psychology Today blogger and veteran TV guest, joins with his point of view.
ADD (ADHD) is Attention Deficient Disorder, and a rising number of our kids are being diagnosed and medicated for it. Is ADD really on the rise, or is it just more commonly recognized now? Are pharmaceuticals the only way to go? Guests are Dr. Laura Thompson (nutritionist and author, Our Children Are...What Our Children Eat), Carolyn Dean, MD, ND (author, Homeopathic Remedies for Children's Common Ailments), Dorinne Davis (author, Every Day A Miracle: Success Stories with Sound Therapy), Stephen Guffanti, MD (author, Does Your Child Really Have ADHD), Debra Burdick, and Randi Levin (author, Love More Feed Less: A Tasty Path Toward Avoiding Childhood Obesity).
When is the last time you were actually hungry? Think about it. We frequently grow bored, dissatisfied or emotionally uncomfortable and get the urge to eat, but seldom are we responding to actual hunger that says it's time for fuel. According to guest Dr. Rita Hancock, author of The Eden Diet, we can become reconnected with our bodies' signals and separate them from all the other reasons we eat. It's a simple, yet profound adjustment to our responses that can free us to feel a new satisfaction.
What's it like to survive a tsunami? Here's a dramatic interview with Bruno N. Cole MD, a cardio-thoracic surgeon who was on the beach in Sri Lanka in 2004 when the tsunami hit. After narrowly surviving himself, he looked down from a high floor in his hotel, seeing a landscape of corpses and hearing desperate screams for help. Amid the chaos and hysteria that followed, he heroically set up a makeshift emergency clinic and toiled to save lives, setting broken bones with sheets and smashed furniture.
Babyboomers are not through revolutionizing our society. Now, as they start to become seniors, they are taking along their expectations of an active, fulfilling sex life. Having grown up with The Pill, today's seniors have a different mindset about sex from their parents: intimacy, romance, even recreation. And that other pill (the little blue one) doesn't hurt either. Even nursing homes are now adopting policies so they don't "interrupt" their patients' private moments. Guests are Joan Price, author of Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty, Hattie Wiener, author of Sex and the Single Senior: A Cougar's Search for Love, author/psychiatrist/sex therapist Susan Delphine Delaney, age transition specialist Patricia Weaver, psychologist Dr. Michael Nuccitelli and Rabbi Ed Weinsberg (Conquer Prostate Cancer: How Medicine, Faith, Love and Sex Can Renew Your Life).
Michelle Obama (aided by Sarah Palin's opposition) has pushed our dirty little secret to the headlines: our kids are increasingly fat and unhealthy. Why does this happen? Are the parents usually obese as well, or is it not so simple? Guest Ira Green, who once weighed 485 pounds himself and now runs a weight loss camp for children, shares his own stories and those of his own children. Then Dr. Tom Potisk, author of Whole Health Healing: The Budget-Friendly Natural Wellness Bible speaks of his own experiences.
Do you know your body type? Ayurveda, the "science of life" from ancient India that includes branches such as yoga, views each person as unique in their body, personality and circumstances. Understanding ayurveda can help you achieve the "balance" we all seek, but seldom achieve. In order to be healthy, happy and well you need an eating plan and exercise plan that are yours alone. Guests are teacher/healer George James, ayurveda practitioner and speaker Susan Joyce Proctor, who has presented with Dr. Mehmet Oz to the United Nations, and practitioner Renee Rivera, who is implementing research studies at UCSF.
Two guests share their personal formulas for weight loss, fitness and better health. Brian Stelter, TV & Digital Media Reporter for The New York Times, is well-known to thousands who follow him on Twitter, where he regularly tweets what he's eating and how many calories he's consuming. This "Twitter Diet," his method for keeping himself honest about his food intake, has taken him down from his one-time high of 270 pounds. George DeJohn is radio host at Dallas/Ft. Worth's #1 sports station, author of Three Minutes to a Strong Mind and a Fit Body, and former personal trainer to the likes of Dennis Rodman, Mark Cuban and Michael Dell. He's known for his no-nonsense, blunt talk about getting fit and addressing one's personal history and reasons for getting out of shape in the first place.
The Bible stands firmly against adultery, divorce and same-sex love, right? Not so fast. It is actually filled with exceptions, contradictions and flat-out erotica, according to our guests, Jennifer Wright Knust (author of Unprotected Texts: The Bible's Surprising Contradictions About Sex and Desire), and Michael Coogan (author of God and Sex: What the Bible Really Says). Joining them is Rabbi Ed Weinsberg, EdD, DD, a gerontologist, intimacy coach and author of Conquer Prostate Cancer: How Medicine, Faith, Love and Sex Can Renew Your Life.
Stereotypes support the notion of the happy, secure married person and the lonely, desperate single. But where are the actual statistics to support those views? Bella dePaulo, Ph.D. and author of Singled Out: How Singles are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After, visits to discuss the effects of "singlism," the pervasive discrimination single people face in politics and everyday life. She shares her 10 Myths About Being Single with Dr. Veronica. Dr. dePaulo is a popular interview subject on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and other media outlets.
Widely popularized by the 2006 book and film The Secret, The Sedona Method is a technique to dissolve the negative emotions that make us anxious, fearful and prevent us from living our lives fully. That leaves us able to experience the peace and happiness we all have at our core. Our guest is Hale Dwoskin, author of The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-Being and CEO of Sedona Training Associates in Arizona. Similarly, psychologist Jean Fain joins us to explain that the best way to lose weight and look your best is to start with loving who you are. Her new book is The Self-Compassion Diet: A Step-by-Step Program to Lose Weight with Loving-Kindness.
We're all searching for the perfect relationship—or are we? Are some people truly, happily single by choice, and not just because they have retreated in defeat from the dating scene? Perhaps there is a way to be single without being lonely, isolated and celibate. Dr. Veronica interviews 2 guests who have found their own path: author and talk show host Ronda Del Boccio ("The Story Lady"), and author and seasoned world traveler Cynthia Clampitt.
Romance and passion are hard to define, but when they vanish from a long-term relationship, we know it. If you've decided breakup or divorce are inevitable, can it be done without bitterness and vengeance? Is a loving divorce possible, for the sake of all concerned including the children? Guests include America's Romance Guru Leon Scott Baxter, relationship expert Dr. Jackie Black, bestselling author of Meeting Your Match, psychologist Dr. Kathryn R. Weston, host of the Take Charge radio show, counselor Patricia Bubash, author of Successful Second Marriages, and author Bill McLeod (Kickin' Butt As A Single Parent).
It has been estimated by various sources that 70% of women fake their orgasms at some point. Why, exactly, should that be? Is it because men lack the sexual skills to satisfy enough? Or on the other hand, how would a man know he's not a great lover if he is routinely deceived that his partner is achieving orgasm? Byron Williams, relationship coach, bestselling author (Womanizer and Shady Bizzness) and former bodyguard to rapper Eminem, says no one should lie about the authenticity of their climax. He also has a news flash: MEN fake orgasms too. Then Dr. Joni Frater and Esther Latique, authors of Love Her Right: The Married Man's Guide to Lesbian Secrets for Great Sex! join with more insights on the female sexual experience.
1 out of every 5 pregnancies in this country ends in abortion. It's a common occurrence, so why is it conspicuously absent from plot lines of popular TV shows and movies? Are we still squeamish with the idea? Certainly, though we may stand behind abortion as a legal and civil right, it's never a happy event in one's life. And though we frequently consider the mother's difficult decision and possible sense of loss, what do the fathers feel about it? Dr. Veronica explores this little-discussed underside of abortion with experts and men who have been involved in abortion as the father of the fetus or close friend or family member of a woman who had one.
What's the story with men's sexuality? Is a boon to men (and their partners) who feel their sex lives reinvigorated? Or does it tamper with a man's lifelong sexual arc and actually stifle creativity and experimentation as he reinvents his sexuality in later life? Two very different points of view: Byron "Big Naz" Williams (bestselling author of Shady Bizness, radio relationship counselor and former bodyguard to rapper Eminem) explains that male pride and ego are misunderstood by women. Then Doctor and Rabbi Ed Weinsberg (author of Conquer Prostate Cancer) shares his journey through disease: that drugs and devices to treat erectile dysfunction can be heaven sent, but are only a part of the male sexual equation.
Can music have the power to heal the body? Joining us are 2 veterans of the 70s R&B and funk band The Ohio Players, Clarence "Chet" Willis and Harry "HarryO" McLoud, creators of the new CD The C-Dub Project. They discuss their music and the healing it has brought in their own lives. Other guests include psychologist and music therapy expert Karina Lewis, American Music Therapy Association executive and BlogTalkRadio host Janice Harris, and Sharon Ruben, author of Awakening Ashley: Mozart Knocks Autism On Its Ear.
As always, the dating scene is brimming with married men who either pretend to be single, or feel justified in stepping out on their wives. Well guess what? It's not just men. Cyber-dating expert Julie Spira, bestselling author of The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online, tells how you can know if your date is really available or not. Then psychologist Deborah Taj Anapol has a very different viewpoint: perhaps monogamy is not so natural for us in the first place. Is there a way devoted couples can retain their trust and honesty with each other, yet still experience different partners? Dr. Anapol is author of Polyamory in the 21st Century: Love and Intimacy with Multiple Partners.
Former Forbes Magazine writer Kiri Blakeley, author of Can't Think Straight: A Memoir of Mixed-Up Love, drolly details the emotional fallout after her fiancée announced he was gay. Not wanting to deceive her any longer after a 10-year relationship, he tearfully admitted he'd been questioning his sexuality for the past two years. Dr. Veronica discusses the stages of her emotional journey, and other guests share their own stories when a straight couple discovers one partner is gay. Do they inevitably split? Or do some decide love really does conquer all, and they stay together despite a need for separate sex lives? Other guests include Bonnie Kaye, host of BTR's Straight Wives, Peterson Toscano, who spent 17 years and $30,000 trying to become straight, and Arthur Goldberg, who runs a service that helps gays become straight.
Pop Quiz: Name one man who is both a cattle rancher in a 10-gallon hat (think Lorne Greene from Bonanza) AND a prolific author of Old West romance novels? The answer is Reid Lance Rosenthal, conservation-minded owner of thousands of acres in remote Wyoming and Montana. To get the story on this fascinating man and his new novel, Threads West: An American Saga, Dr. Veronica stays in an 1860s log cabin with no electricity or running water, catches her first fish (6 pounds) and, showing her surgical skills, guts and cleans it for everyone's dinner. Reid is also the host of The Land Patriot, weekly on WebTalkRadio.net.
Guest LeGrande Green, 4-time Emmy® Award Winner, had it made. Bright and talented, he sailed through Princeton to the top of the TV industry, serving as senior producer on The Oprah Winfrey Show for eight years, and later for Sally Jesse Raphael. Then came a salacious National Enquirer article and it all unraveled. Depression and addiction followed, the suicide of a loved one and he lost it all—everything. He was selling shoes at Macy's for $6 an hour. Today he's back heading his own media production company, Spirit MediaWorks, and his inspiring story is one you won't soon forget. ALSO: LeGrande has extensively toured the US and Canada with his info-packed seminar Get Booked on Any TV Talk Show. Call in with your questions!

Guest Inna Segal, author of The Secret Language of Your Body: The Essential Guide to Health and Wellness, tells Dr. Veronica how we can use mind power to heal ourselves. As a gifted healer and a pioneer in the field of energy medicine, she can ‘see’ illness and blocks in a person’s body by intuitive means, explain what is occurring, and guide people through the self-healing processes. Other guests include teacher George James, author and psychologist Dr. Art Martin, Elaine Jesmer (author of "I'm Hot and I'm Bald!" Chemotherapy for Winners) and Terri Jay, energy healer and psychic, who has found that ALL illness, injury and disease is caused by emotions or "issues in the tissues."

Some topics include: • Natural pain relief • Pre- or Post-surgery—what can be done to have the best results and a speedy recovery • Using color to heal • Integrative Medicine—how to participate in your own self-healing while taking medication • Healing Depression from within
Many things can tax a relationship, and one is the serious or prolonged illness of a partner. Wendy Shanker, author of Are You My Guru? How Medicine, Meditation & Madonna Saved My Life and The Fat Girl's Guide to Life, humorously shares her long road to finding the right man through the ups and downs of weight loss and eventually a rare illness that led her to explore areas of life she'd never previously considered. Then radio host Chris M. Tatevosian, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, realizes that his focus on his illness cost him a valued relationship.

Ever wonder why some people never seem to fall victim to bad colds and other ailments? Dr. Veronica's guest, bestselling New York Times author Gene Strong did.

Callers will include others who have overcome physical problems through nonconvetional methods.
From Courteney Cox’s hit television show Cougar Town to cougar conventions popping up across the country, older women dating younger men are en vogue everywhere. It's not exactly a new phenomenon—remember Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate? And more recently, actress Demi Moore marrying Ashton Kutscher, 15 years her junior? It seems this is a trend that's here to stay. Dr. Veronica goes on the prowl with authors Leslie Kohler and Susan McBride (The Cougar Club), who share first-hand the mental and physical benefits of dating down in age.
Wedding bells are ringing for 84-year old Hugh Hefner and his 24-year-old former Playboy bunny Crystal Harris. A SIXTY year age difference? Is this just the stereotype of the wealthy ancient old man buying the favors of a golddigger? We'll discuss with various guests, and wwant to hear from YOU: Could there truly be love and affection involved? What about sex? Do you know of the reverse happening, an ancient matron marrying a young boytoy?
Many women change course at some point in their lives, but today's guest chose an unusual new path: she became a prostitute at age 54. She tells a remarkable, unexpected and inspiring story. Also, former competitive bodybuilder Shana Ross, founder of Shana Ross Fitness, joins the discussion.
Montana Fishburne, actor Laurence Fishburne's daughter has announce her career plan-Sex Queen. Young girls and women today aspire to be stars in the sex industry more than being a model, singer, doctor or lawyer. Is this a new phenomenon? Is this healthy? When Elliot Spitzer's call girl was paid $5000 plus dollars for 5 minutes of work I felt like she was much smarter than me with my Ivy League degree and MD. Given that sex is the biggest internet money maker and sex sells, should we make prostitution legal? I say "Why not?" Also discussing on this show is why men feel they want certain women as their wife and mother of their children but different women with which they have exciting, quality sex. Is being a sex star or prostitute dangerous to your health? Seems to me 'No" as people in these industries get tested regular for disease and many use more precautions than the population as a whole.

This week, a different kind of wellness. Guest Pastor Tramp Barber describes his life of vicious crime—murder, rape, assaults on police and others—fueled by drug addiction and the deranged value system of a violent motorcycle gang. Can a life like this possibly lead to a place of spiritual wholeness centered around helping others? Tramp is here to say yes—he is born again and is now Pastor of his own church, aimed at people like himself who find it tough to be welcomed into most churches. This is a brutally honest, often upsetting and ultimately uplifting interview as Dr. Veronica guides us through his life and even his views on sex and society today. She also shares resources for helping young people make better choices, adoption, and help with addictions.

First it's Consumer Reports meets Faith & Religion as guest Jen Bilik (author, The Savvy Convert's Guide to Choosing a Religion) lets you explore 99 Top World Religions based on practical issues: What will I wear?

Is medication the answer to depression? Not for most people, says guest Stephen S. Ilardi, PhD (author, The Depression Cure: The 6-Step Program to Beat Depression without Drugs), who explains why our own human evolution can teach us why depression occurs, and how we can beat it—for good.

Co-Hosted with WebTalkRadio host and conservative apologist Reid L. Rosenthal, and liberal/progressive Russell Cook, Dr. Veronica referees a discussion as to whether or not there is an anti-intellectual movement going on in America today. Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative intends to address childhood obesity, a growing public health issue, by getting healthier foods into school lunches, and reaching out to kids, parents and communities with education about healthier food choices and more active lifestyles. Sarah Palin calls this a perfect example of a bad mindset: big government trying to tell people how to think, muscle in on personal choice, and an insult to parents everywhere that they are incompetent to feed and raise their own children. Where's the disconnect? Why does a public health initiative become a political showdown? Is there a larger, anti-intellectual movement going on in America? Distrust of ivy-leagued educated people like the Obamas over the less-educated (but more vocal) Palins, Becks and Limbaughs?
It's the problem no one can overlook anymore: obesity in America. Carole Carson (author of From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction) discovered that ending 40 years of weight trouble began with changing her mind, and how she has inspired thousands to do the same. Then Dr. Denise Lamothe (holistic doctor, weight loss specialist, and author of The Taming of the Chew: A Holistic Guide to Stopping Compulsive Eating) shares the secrets of Bach Flower Remedies.
Snooki is the new star. In less than one year American television does it again in boosting to the limelight a mean girl. What is America's fascination with mean girls and outrageous super stereotyped men? Do we all just watch because it makes us feel like we are better than someone else?
Its no secret that the view of marriage being a life necessity for happiness and healthiness is changing. So is marriage obsolete? What are some other paradigms that work in relationships and families? What of the laws that reward marriage and penalize singlehood? Employers in the US still provide extra time and benefits to people in the government -sanctioned view of marriage. Discuss with me my new state of singlehood and what are your recommendations to me about going forward in life now that I have produced my children and do not need financial support. I say my game is just beginning but marriage is likely obsolete for me. How about a spiritual merger without all the legality?
It's a trend that's long overdue: is it becoming fashionable to adopt a child outside your own race and background? Dr. Veronica, herself an adoptive mother (though from within her own race) talks to Rhonda Y. Miller, JD, author of Unveiling the Adoption Process: Seven Families' Adventures & Insights, who shares her experiences before and after adopting a child of another race. Then Manda Aufochs Gillespie (The Green Mama) has a different perspective, as her adopted brother is from another race.
Holly Hill is an attractive, successful professional from Australia who fell in love with a man who turned out to be married. He made her his mistress and covered her financial needs 100%. Then, when he told his wife of his intention to leave her and marry Holly, she replied, "If you do this, I will kill myself and our two children." Overnight, Holly was alone and on the brink of bankruptcy. What to do? She placed an ad offering her good looks, wit, skilled conversation, excellent company, gourmet cooking, and sex and massage skills in exchange for "a generous monthly allowance" and received over 11,000 responses. What happened next is a funny, fascinating, provocative story that Holly, author of Sugarbabe, The Controversial Story of a Real Woman in Search of a Sugar Daddy, shares with Dr. Veronica.
Tyler Perry's movie depiction on the 70"s play "For Colored Girls" is now playing in theaters to wide acclaim.
