Contrary Ways to Overcome Detox, Pain, Addiction & Shame GUEST: Dr. Will Horton

February 05, 2020 18:13 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

Wow! I was so prepared to ask tough questions of my guest, Dr. Will Horton, because I found some of the claims he made sounded outrageous to me. Really? And, I asked those tough questions about addiction, recovery, pain, and shame...and more! When I read one of his book titles, my antennae went up: "How to Get Others to Do What You Want and Have Them Think It was Their Idea" Oh, no! That sounds so manipulative and under-handed, right? That's why I called this episode "Contrary Ways...

The Upsides For Workplace Warriors To Lead And Succeed - GUEST: Jordan Goldrich

January 30, 2020 01:57 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

Do you feel like a warrior when you go to work? Do you feel like you MUST be a warrior? Warriors are tough. Is that a necessity for getting people to work together and produce desired results? My conversation with Jordan Goldrich, author of Workplace Warrior, had some surprises. The subtitle of his book is "People Skills for the No B.S. Executive." He immediately brought up the word, abrasive, to describe many leaders. Not a surprise! Sometimes people think they have to be tough, competi...

Ass-Kickin' Advice for Step-Moms GUEST: Kathy Hammond

January 23, 2020 19:34 - 38 minutes - 39.2 MB

We have so many images of step-moms. Angels, devils, and everything in between! My guest, Kathy Hammond, is the author of How to Kill Your Husband's Ex, Attorneys and Then Some: Ass Kickin' Advice for Stepmoms. You might relate! She says, "Books on step parenting hope to evoke a kumbaya feeling. That might work if everyone involved in the step family dynamic is mature, empathetic and certainly not narcissistic. In reality are very raw emotions of jealousy, anger, resentment and fear, ex...

Why Health and Healing Require Trust and Listening GUEST: Dr. Elizabeth Hughes

January 15, 2020 05:09 - 45 minutes - 44.8 MB

What do you do when you don't feel well? Do you ignore it and hope it will go away? Do you become interested in the needs of your body? Just because your parent had a disease or condition, do you believe you're next? Today's guest, Dr. Elizabeth Hughes, has exciting news: "YOUR FUTURE IS NOT WRITTEN IN YOUR DNA." What would change for you if you believed your future is not written in your DNA? Such an important belief to challenge! Dr. Hughes talks about why it is important to li...

Mid-Life Dating, Sex & Finding True Love GUEST: Jonathon Aslay

January 10, 2020 00:09 - 39 minutes - 54.1 MB

Fearful? Skeptical? Not sure you trust yourself to choose well? Unsure about trusting when you start to date again? You'll likely have some of that when you're dating in mid-life, especially if you have left a toxic relationship? You hear the term, self-love, so often these days. Do you know what it really means? What are your assumptions about it? I actually don't use that term much because of the ambiguity. In today's episode, my guest, Jonothon Aslay, and I discuss this because some...

How Living in Alignment with Your Human Design Leads to Success GUEST: Chetan Parkyn

December 27, 2019 17:53 - 32 minutes - 33.1 MB

HUMAN DESIGN? What immediately came to mind when you read that? Human Design is a system that "illustrates the genetic codes in our personal makeup, both from a conscious perspective, and also from the unconscious ancestral input," as today's guest, Chetan Parkyn says. "We get distracted in our lives from the moment we arrive here. We become conditioned not only from the attitudes and behaviors of the family and circumstances in which we are born, but we also have ingrained in our genetic...

December 11, 2019 19:47 - 37 minutes - 37.5 MB

GO WITH YOUR GUT! How many times have you heard that? Sure, most folks are talking about intuition and gut feelings, but did you know that the seat of health is in your gut, your microbiome? Worth knowing, right? Better yet, and more worth knowing, is learning about taking good care of your microbiome to encourage health, in every way.

December 04, 2019 16:37 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

That's the big, ongoing question. Today, my guest, Richard Villasana, helps us understand ...

How to Forgive Who Broke Your Heart GUEST: Terri Levine

November 20, 2019 19:05 - 31 minutes - 43.3 MB

FORGIVENESS! It sounds right. Sounds good. But, what does it really mean to forgive someone? On Emotional Savvy, I'm often talking about those relentlessly difficult, toxic people that I call #Hijackals®. #Narcissists are #Hijackals, and they will do all they can to have power over you in every way, and exert control wherever they can. My guest, Terri Levine, has encountered them, and she talks about the terror. You may have experienced the terror of being in relationship with a narciss...

This conversation with Dr. Stone covers all the bases of hugging how's, why's, and why not's. According to Healthline.com : "Hugs may boost your heart health. Hugging can be good for...

October 23, 2019 18:15 - 34 minutes - 31.1 MB

We are grateful for a woman's service in the military. We need to consider the issues a woman faces when leaving the military, and re-entering civilian life. Those of us who have not served need to understand these issues because we can help. I asked my guest, Ariel Shivers-McGrew, what the greatest benefit she received from being a woman in the military. Her answers may surprise you! And, they were positive! Now, she helps women understand and solve the issues of re-entry into civilian...

GOOD NEWS! Everyone Doesn't Have to Like You. GUEST: Tonya Hofmann

October 17, 2019 22:42 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MB

Were you brought up with the underlying understanding that, if you were a good person, everyone would like you? Most folks are. So, you do your level best--even once you're an adult--to be pleasant, agreeable, and interesting so that will happen. Sometimes, you go the extra mile in hope, right? And, after you turn yourself into a pretzel, they still withhold approval and interest. So, today's topic will relieve you of the notion that you are supposed to jump all the hoops that each per...

Becoming Unshakable Even Post-Betrayal GUEST: Dr. Debi Silber

October 11, 2019 04:38 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

HAVE YOU EVER FELT BETRAYED? HAVE YOU EVER FULLY BEEN ABLE TO TRUST YOURSELF OR ANOTHER AGAIN? This episode looks at different forms of betrayal, including infidelity. Who typically betrays? One of the questions I had for my guest, Dr. Debi Silber, was on the topic of parental betrayal. Often, a person doesn't want to think or believe that they were betrayed by their parents. Because of brain development, and culture, we want to--and often need to--believe that our parents had our be...

Strong Men AREN'T Controlling! GUEST - Elliott Katz

September 26, 2019 21:31 - 38 minutes - 38.8 MB

Oh, a little--maybe, an understatement--controversy here! You'll want to weigh in in the comments, I'm betting. Elliott Katz, today's guest, suggests that today's man is confused about his role in a relationship. Could be. What do you think? Of course, we talked about this at length. When I read Katz' book, Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants, I had big reactions and equally big questions that I could hardly wait to ask him. My sense was that there is a subtext of taking charge in the rel...

Is Positive Self-Talk Actually Effective? Brain Stuff! GUEST: Dr. Marcia Reynolds

September 15, 2019 20:17 - 39 minutes - 54 MB

Is positive self-talk always positive? is it effective? Does positive self-talk have any downsides? Can it always work? Important questions, and today's guest, Dr. Marcia Reynolds, has given this a tremendous amount of thought and consideration. Such valuable work! Dr. Reynolds says, "Rationalizing and defending your behavior keeps you nestled in a safe and suffocating world. Mustering the courage to say, "Yes!" in the face of fear is a great gift to give yourself." (from her b...

Helping Troubled Teens Find Their Way and Thrive GUEST: Dr. Brian Licuanan

August 29, 2019 01:11 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MB

Kids don't always grow out of things. They grow through things! And, you need to be there to see it, understand it, and know what to do to help when things seem to be going sideways! Today's guest, Dr. Brian Licuanan, and I talk about the difficulties in seeing problems kids want to hide from us, whether we're their parent, grandparent, teacher, or coach.

Got Empathy? That's one key that unlocks the willingness to enter into a problem-solving process with your partner, according to today's guest, Dr. James. L. Creighton. You need more! Dr. Creighton says: "Empathy allows us to enter into the emotional reality of our loved ones, so that even when there are differences, there is still shared experience."

How You Can Overcome a Nasty Past and Thrive GUEST - Joy Idries

May 30, 2019 19:25 - 46 minutes - 63.6 MB

Sometimes, we learn out greatest lessons by going through terrible pain and trauma. It's never "worth it," in my opinion. But, it does change us, and can be the catalyst for our insights and growth. So, in that sense, we can be grateful for it. How that change shows up is in our attitude, understanding, and often in the quality of help we get to heal. You may find some sad similarities in what Joy shares with the story of your relationship with a #Hijackal. For instance: Do you feel impr...

What's Up With Emotionally Unavailable People? GUEST: Dr. Marni Feuerman

May 01, 2019 16:48 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MB

A comment complaint I hear in my practice--especially, of course, from people who have #Hijackal parents, partners, or exes, is that S/HE IS NOT EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE! I belong to many groups on Facebook, and this is a common complaint there, too. "I'm attentive, collaborative, loving, nurture, and even compliant, and my partner just doesn't give anything back!" Early on in a relationship that seems to be going somewhere good, you're affected by limerence. Dr. Marni talks about this i...

Why You Won't Find the Intimacy You Long for If You're Needy GUEST: Rabbi Manis Friedman

April 10, 2019 19:02 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

What allows for growth of intimacy? You want an emotionally rich, intimate relationship. You'll never find it--in any healthy fashion--if you're needy. That's why you need to do your own work first! You know I talk about "doing your own work" first frequently. It's because you need to be the healthiest you can be to attract--and sustain--a healthy, emotionally intimate relationship. You simply cannot do it if you are needy! (If you want to work on this, I can help.) Today, I'm talking onc...

How to Help Schools Be Safer for Kids in Tough Situations GUEST: Aaron L. Smith

March 28, 2019 00:52 - 50 minutes - 69.5 MB

TOO MUCH BULLYING! TOO MANY TEEN SUICIDES! This needs to stop, and we need to do whatever we can to stop bullying now, and intervene with bullying victims immediately. Did you ever imagine that the internet would be so full of stories of bullying? And, then, did you think that the next thing would be too many teen suicides? Yes, it's a natural progression, but what a nasty one! And, hey, parents! Are you teaching your children not to bully others? Are you validating your child's self-w...

March 07, 2019 03:58 - 47 minutes - 64.8 MB

Any chance you have "stuff?" Or, whatever you prefer to call it! Maybe, you've had it for awhile, and you're attached to it. Maybe, you are always saying you're going to deal with it. Maybe, you just inherited it from parents who have passed. Maybe, it's a HUGE energy leak, and every time you think about it, you want to run away! Maybe, today is the day it will all make sense how to go about deciding what stays and what goes, what you keep and what you release. >>>>>> Don't miss all t...

What is Emotional Savvy & Using it to Heal Relationships Energetically GUEST: Kerri Hummingbird

February 27, 2019 18:45 - 52 minutes - 71.9 MB

Wow! Seventy three episodes and I'm finally talking about what Emotional Savvy means. You know that "to be savvy" means that you know what's up and what's going on. You're awake, aware, and alert. You're "with it!" Great! You may have the practical knowledge, but it's not much use if it's not applied. Relationships require emotional savvy. Otherwise, you don't make good judgments. You don't see what's really going on, and maybe prefer denial. Not much emotional savvy there, right? Emotion...

Why We're Reluctant to Call It Abuse: One Woman's Story of Escape GUEST: April Giaque

February 20, 2019 18:51 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MB

Why are we so reluctant to call it abuse? Today's episode starts with my response to this question. Of course, no one wants to think of themselves as being abused. So, you justify it, rationalize, and make excuses for it. Sometimes, you even decide it's your own fault! WRONG! And, I'll explain why today. Verbal abuse and emotional abuse start small, usually. You write it off as someone "having a bad day" or "going through a rough patch." Then, you want to avoid looking at the overall patt...

January 17, 2019 03:09 - 44 minutes - 60.8 MB

Is life confusing for men these days? Are men confusing to you these days? So, what's this all about? Why are men and women confused about the roles of men? Or, are they? My guest thinks they are! Personally, I think that there is much confusion over roles, and that they are fluid in each family. It's a BIG, IMPORTANT conversation for every couple to have before they get married: to learn about each other, talk about values, vision for life, beliefs, and goals. Talk about how those valu...

Dating? How to Spot Men Who'll Only Waste Your Time GUEST Ronnie Ann Ryan

January 11, 2019 16:53 - 49 minutes - 67.6 MB

Are you dating? Have you kissed more than your fair share of frogs? Today's episode will help you stop doing that. Really! Although it's addressed to women, MEN, you need to listen in, too. You need to know this! Women, are you with a man who won't protect your name and won't protect the relationship, either.

The Mindset Shift It Takes To Live the Life You Want GUEST Ashley Logndon

January 03, 2019 19:49 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Wow! It's 2019. Happy New Year! Did you make New Year's Resolutions? Are any the same as last year? Oops! Why is that? Why do we make resolutions and let them drop?

What You Need First If You Want to Have Great Relationships. Host Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

December 28, 2018 00:15 - 11 minutes - 15.5 MB

Today's episode is so important: a required ingredient for a great relationship! And, it may not be what you think. We all live, work, or play with other humans, and we know it sometimes takes more skills than at other times. Some people are more work. Some people are toxic and you need to recognize that right away, and steer clear! And, you may think that your past relationships define you. They can, but I hope they do not! It's not rocket science to understand that your early training c...

How to Have the Best Divorce From a Narcissistic Hijackal GUEST: Jason LeVoy

December 12, 2018 03:22 - 43 minutes - 60 MB

Best divorce possible from a narcissistic Hijackal? Does such a thing exist? Stay tuned. Yes, divorce is often messy, and definitely messier when there is a difficult person, or a toxic person involved, those people I call Hijackals®! All divorces--in my opinion--go in two clear ways: one end is a Divisive Divorce, and the other end is the Collaborative Divorce. There is a third that takes in the benign, neutral space in the middle that some people wander in, too. If you're divorcing--or,...

How to Create the Intimacy You Crave Without the Fear GUEST: Allana Pratt

November 27, 2018 19:09 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

In today's episode, I'm talking about what it takes to get past the fear of intimacy that a past relationship has taught you. It happens so often, doesn't it? You fall in love, and really trust someone. You are tell them your secrets, and share your vulnerabilities. You so want to have that one person you can share life with, warts and all. You want to believe you are safe. Sometimes, you are safe, and it all works beautifully. It deepens, grows, and enriches over your time together. Then...

Great Relationships Require Trust. How Can You Build & Rebuild it? GUEST: Scott Schilling

November 13, 2018 22:04 - 45 minutes - 62 MB

In today's episode, I'm talking about what you really need to have if you want a great relationship. If you have the ingredients, you can put them into the relationship. If you're missing them within yourself, and you go looking for them in another, you won't be able to have the relationship you know you want. You've heard me say many times that you cannot give a gift you do not have. That applies to relationships, too. What you put into it is so important. How have your past relationship...

Speaking Up! Escaping Domestic Abuse: What It Takes & Why It Takes So Long GUEST: Mickie Zada

November 07, 2018 01:59 - 45 minutes - 62 MB

In today's episode, I give you some new perspectives--and effective words to say--when people treat you in ways you do not appreciate. For many listeners, "ways I do not appreciate" usually come from one particular person, a #Hijackal®. Whether that is true for you or not, you want to feel and be confident that you can trust yourself to speak up when someone says something rude, wrong, or abusive, without concern that you will turn into a blaming, shaming, or abusive person yourself. That'...

What About Mediation? And, Debunking Divorce As Failing or Not Good For the Kids GUEST: Anthony Diaz

October 31, 2018 01:52 - 51 minutes - 71.3 MB

In today's episode, I give you five solid reasons why mediation is a good choice...and, why it may not work well with a #Hijackal! There are several important things to know about mediation. Some folks don't know about them, and I wanted to be sure you did. It's important when deciding how to proceed to resolve differences in partnerships of any kind, and relationships of all kinds. I've mediated in workplace settings, in primary family relationships, with estranged sisters in two parts of ...

October 24, 2018 03:27 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

In today's episode, I talk about steps you can take to manage the pain of trauma or loss. You've experienced these things, no matter when in your life they occurred. Until you work them through, they will interfere with your health and the health of your current relationships, as well as with your perspective on life. You don't want to be carrying past issues into current relationships. That's often a primary cause of marriages not working: partners bring the pains of previous relationships...

October 16, 2018 19:23 - 42 minutes - 58.2 MB

In today's episode, I talk about something that is SO important to keep top of mind. Too many people readily believe the words a person speaks, even when their behavior is screaming the opposite. Why do they do that? Why do you? It's an interesting, though detrimental, habit. Yes, it's a habit, one that you learned as a child. Today, I give you some very good reasons why it is not serving you--or your relationships--well, and what to replace it with. This can change EVERYTHING in the way ...

Are You Spiritually-Minded? What About Intuition? GUEST - Terry Wildemann

October 09, 2018 14:00 - 43 minutes - 60.2 MB

In today's episode, DR. RHOBERTA SHALER asks: "Are you spiritually-minded?" Being spiritually-minded is not simply having an interest in spiritual things. It's much more than that.
