What would you think if I told you EROTICISM is the SECRET sauce to wellness? Would you buy a book written on that topic? I know I would, and while she hasn’t written the book yet, that is the position of Tina Koopersmith MD, who after 30 years as a fertility specialist is focused on prioritizing Pleasure to remind our nervous system that we are safe in our bodies.

Author Angie Wisdom and the Non-Negotiable You

June 11, 2023 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

Life & Business Coach Angie Wisdom came to me to write a book because it was something she didn’t think she could do… which made it very appealing! A high achiever who brings her clients to find a life they love, Angie endeavored to write about how critical it is to trust yourself and be authentic in all you do. She had to overcome some perfectionism to write the first draft of the book. Wanting every line and idea to resonate wasn’t helping her forward momentum. She soon learned we would c...

What Does It Really Mean To Be Enlightened with Book Client Matthew Brownstein

April 30, 2023 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MB

Book client Matthew Brownstein didn’t originally come to me to write a book. He was looking to better promote his five already written books. I convinced him to re-write his book on hypnotherapy, and today the book emulates a curriculum for his state-licensed Institute of Hypnotherapy. He acknowledges how he had to let Spirit guide him to let the words come through and be okay if the words didn’t come. He appreciated the structure I provided to him and had to be in the spiritual flow of know...

Sophie McCallum has first and foremost on her website the question, “Are you ready to love being you?” This is over her looking very chic riding an escalator up from the NYC Subway.

She tells about hitting herself repeatedly in the head with a brush when she looked in the mirror or biting her arm so hard it bled when she was a young girl. When she met her husband and had her boys, she became a super mom… until...

I coach her through her book idea and we debate what kind of  ...

March 19, 2023 05:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

Chronic exhaustion and burnout can hit complete with panic attacks, seemingly coming out of nowhere. The answer at first for health seems to be medical doctors, and we can seek out all the opinions when in truth we know in our gut we have to make change to stop running on empty. The panic attacks can be painful, and really are our wake up calls. So as highly motivated women, we have to look at the lens differently. Wellbeing coach Sarah Sperry was working in the male-dominated field of fina...

February 26, 2023 06:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MB

Money! Money! Money! What a big conversation for women! Women are so inquisitive and smart, but we have a tendency to not ask all the questions about our finances especially if we are being undermined by a financial advisor, or told by a partner we don’t know anything about money.

Want 2023 to be the year where you get results?

Why There is No Shame in Personal Evolution with Diann Wingert

I met business strategist & coach (and former therapist) Diann Wingert on the Zoom screen at a women’s networking group where I just knew when she talked that she was speaking my language. Her multiple marriages, single parenting, and several careers were similar to my life course - but also the shame that can come from living out of the box.  She speaks with us today about the idea of personal evolution. Most people “pick and stick” early in life  - decide who they think they are, take the ...

October 30, 2022 09:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MB

Join me and journalist Stacey Lindsay on today’s show to talk about how women can second guess themselves when it comes to asking questions and being curious. It’s not entirely the fault of the female race! The patriarchy has kept women from asking challenging and different questions for ages. Women have been afraid of what will happen when they act outside the box, and that has fed into a universal lack of self-trust. Stacey Lindsay has written for many popular outlets as a journalist and ...

Our judgements hold us back from living our best life. Author Gretchen Hydo, a Certified Mast...

The Intimacy and Trauma Story

March 09, 2021 10:00 - 19 minutes - 8.91 MB

How intimate do you think you are with others?  How about yourself?  If you are a business woman who has it all, the kids, the house, the career, but pause even for half a second on that question, you may be bypassing facing trauma in your history and the narrative of your current story.  As women who are motivated, visible and charismatic, we think we are being “intimate” but still behaving in an old story that keeps people at an arms’ length. Especially when it comes to romantic relationsh...
