This Little Parent Stayed Home

It's a fantastic show with coaching for moms and dads who are looking to break out of unfulfilling lives and feel abundant again. My terrific studio team joins in to lift you up... and give you back a little better than how we found you!

Exciting News!Thank you for letting your voice be heard! We love knowing that you still have a desire to keep our weekly radio show going... and we are happy to announce that we have found a way!

(more details at a later time...)Unless you LET GO, you won't be able to MOVE FORWARD.Possibly one of the greatest lessons I have learned during this demanding, mystifying and enlightening year is the power of SURRENDER. After thrashing about in a pool of struggle and becoming VERY CLOSE to drowning in my own insignificant efforts, the ultimate solution was revealed when I chose to forfeit my energy to the flow of the current.It wasn't long after I let go that the rewards began to surface. Dare I say... I've been almost OVERWHELMED with the flow of abundance that has permeated my present experience. Business victories, speaking engagements, the resurrection of this radio broadcast, television shows, teaching opportunities... the list of wins lately goes on and on.Do something today that your future will thank you for.There is nothing wrong with having an intense desire for something that you don't have... but obsessing about the outcome can create impenetrable resistance. While it may feel as if you are already exerting your greatest effort, the greatest challenge is to be able to GENUINELY SURRENDER, release all outcomes and trust that the Universe has your back.On Today's Show...Possibly one of the greatest rewards of my surrender this year was the arrival of a new and significant friendship. My soul absolutely became aligned when I met my television co-host of Wake Up, Michelle Rivera. Within just an hour of our first encounter, it felt as if she was a missing piece of my puzzle. Michelle will be joining me in my home studio today!

Never in a million years did I expect this...While I am super ambitious, I'd been frustrated for years because it felt like my finish line kept getting moved. My dream of being a television talk show host was being dangled like a carrot in front of my nose, but always just out of my reach.I began to think my dream would never come true...So... I simply gave up. I was DONE. Tired of having hope, tired of working hard without results, tired of knocking on doors that never opened and tired of watching my life pass me by. I had no more joy in the journey... so I threw in the towel.AND THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENED... Suddenly the creator/producer was calling me to book my flight for filming, contracts were signed and I was meeting my cast and crew... a group of people I had never met, but in the course of a mere weekend became like family to me.I had to pinch myself a few times to be sure it was REALLY HAPPENING!Often times the greatest rewards come only when we surrender.On Today's Show...I believe in you and want to help you in YOUR JOURNEY to your own finish line!I can't WAIT to share with you some pretty big epiphanies that I had while on set...things I wish I'd known while I was struggling to stay the course as well as the new emotional challenges that awaited once I got passed my "finish line".The journey never REALLY ends, does it?Joining me as our expert guest is the fabulous Marie Diamond, the famous Feng Shui expert from "The Secret" and world renowned transformation teacher!Marie Diamond is more than 24 years working in the field of spirituality, self development and leadership.

Every generation thinks that they have it all figured out.Why then, are our twenty something kids struggling to become adults?It's easy to generalize an entire population by their collective Facebook statuses, but Millennials, often accused of being narcissistic and entitled do have to face some issues that previous generations did not.Rates of depression are soaring among MillennialsContrary to what you might hear the media say, the biggest problem with the era of instant gratification is not that they think too highly of themselves, it's that they struggle to think for themselves.A college degree is now the career equivalent of what a high school degree used to be, so the pressure on kids has been increased and this has made the job-search process even more competitive in a sluggish economy.Sorry, Moms and Dads. It's kinda our fault...We just wanted to protect our babies and give them the greatest childhood society had expected from us. However, the overinvolvement of helicopter parents has prevented our young adult children from learning conflict negotiation, growing from personal life disappointments, and having a tolerance for frustration.Everyone wants their life to have meaning...Even those twenty-somethings who are still living in the basement of their parent's homes... unemployed and seemingly unmotivated.Cozy up with your Millennial Child and Listen in!On Today's Show......I'll be interviewing the amazing Paul Angone, bestselling author, sought-after national keynote speaker, and one of the leading experts in the nation on the Millennial Generation!We'll be talking about:❉ Tips and strategies for helping your adult kids to feel at home in their “groan up” pants.❉ Statistics that will shock you about the challenges facing our Millennial children.❉ Tips for effectively leading, engaging, and parenting Millennials ...that they’ll NEVER tell you.❉ Why 97% of Millennials suffer from "The New OCD – Obsessive Comparison Disorder. What is it, why it’s so harmful, and how you cure it.❉ 3 common reasons college graduates are failing to launch into the real world, and what parents, leaders and Millennials can do to help cushion the crash.

How to Rewire Your MindNo one ever said it was easy. In fact, those of us who have had success with it in some way will tell you it's one of the most difficult tasks to do, but the results are astounding.Imagine seeing your current reality from inside an alternate dimension. Everything looks the same, but it feels DIFFERENT. The perception is MORE CLEAR.Yeah--- It's kind of like... dare I say... playing in a fantasy world.Take yourself on a healing journey.Identifying your personal limiting beliefs and replacing them with empowering ones just might be the single most IMPACTFUL and powerful thing you can do to improve your life.According to the late Dr. Wayne Dyer, beloved author and spiritual leader, the trick is to open yourself up to all possibilities without being attached to the outcome.Sounds a little tricky, doesn't it?In essence, you can still allow yourself to DESIRE something that you don't have, but the power to receive it lies in your ability to be at peace with NOT HAVING IT.Yeah. Wrap your mind around THAT one.Anything you might FEAR will instantly lose it's power over you once you have made PEACE with it.On Today's Show......I'll be interviewing the Beautiful Serena Dyer, daughter of the great late Dr. Wayne Dyer!We'll be talking about the book that she co-wrote with her father, what it was like being the daughter of such a beloved leader, and how it's been applied to her new life as a young mother.

Learning the Power of our SoulsThere are moments in our lives that we just can't explain--- moments that seem a little TOO coincidental. However, most of us don't recall anything weird or unexplainable happening when we were young children. We were more accepting of the synchronicities.The term SYNCHRONICITY was coined by the late great Carl Jung. He defined it as a meaningful coincidence that had the effect of breaking through the “rationalistic shell” of the modern scientific mind.Raising Children with a Healthy and Spiritual FoundationMy friend, as a parent you may be exploring or seeking your own spiritual path and your own truths. Whether you are well grounded in your own beliefs or you are in the process of trying to understand what you believe, it is never too early to explore spiritual ideas with your children.Remember, your children are also spiritual beings, having a human experiences just as you are.Psychic Sensitive ChildrenWe ALL feel that our children are special just because they belong to US...and children are naturally intuitive...but if you’re wondering whether YOUR child might be special due to psychic abilities, there are signs you can start paying attention to.On Today's Show......I'll be interviewing the AMAZING John Holland!John is an internationally renowned psychic medium, spiritual teacher, best selling author and Hay House Radio host who has devoted his entire adult life to the development of fine tuning his abilities as a professional medium and teaching his signature psychic development workshops to thousands of people all over the world.Tune in today to learn:❀ How to recognize the signs that your child may be spiritually sensitive, intuitive or psychic.❀ What to do if your child is displaying signs that they have heightened psychic ability❀ How to you ensure that your psychic child has a balanced and "normal life" while still offering encouragement about his or her gifts.

Rejection is the mother of Reinvention.What if we were ALL courageous enough to tell the TRUTH about our beautifully imperfect selves, our messy mommy lives, and our complicated relationships with our money?What would that look like for YOU?Our truth feels dangerously VULNERABLE, but...Believe me when I say that coming to terms with YOUR real, raw and transparent TRUTH is about the most liberating thing you can do for yourself.The TRUTH that you are willing to discover about yourself can result in a massive and life-changing break-through. I can tell you for CERTAIN that every one of us struggles with a lack of confidence and self-worth. We have VERY convincing arguments with ourselves for why we believe that we are deeply flawed, fundamentally broken and undeserving of what we TRULY desire.The Path to Prosperity is lined with PROBITY.No one can ever accuse me of being a fraud. I've been criticized many times for OVER-SHARING especially during personal times of struggle ...but I have never held back putting it all out there. WHY? Because it would be a disservice to you and all other momleaders who are looking to be inspired. (It is also incredibly FREEING for me!)I hope that MY TRUTH has served as some relief to YOU and given you the freedom to flow with your own adversities.On Today's Show...Let's get NAKED. Let's be Brave, Bold and Bad-ass.Honor yourself with the time to ask the tough questions that I've listed below:❀ What is at stake if you don't come to terms with your truth?❀ What limiting beliefs about yourself do you get to hold onto if you decide to never question them?❀ How does holding onto your story keep you repeating the same patterns of regret and disappointment?❀ How does the same, familiar struggle keep you safe?Answer these questions for yourself to discover that NO unexpected or disappointing circumstance has power over you unless you allow it.Today I'll be interviewing the fabulous and successful mom entrepreneur, Sarah Walton!Sarah speaks around the nation, offers courses, products and workshops, all designed to inspire, ignite passion and to bring the power of femininity forward by taking better care of ourselves and learning to lean back just as often as we lean in.

What's it going to take--- to get you personally empowered?In seven years of broadcasting, I don't think I've ever gotten quite a response like the one I got after last week's episode. I shared a very candid experience with you about my personal struggle with depression, how acknowledging my illness was a part of my recovery (as well as my forgiveness of it) and how I am now able to powerfully own it as part of who I am. Speaking out about depression wasn't just cathartic for ME... it seems to have opened up a safe dialogue for so many who feel isolated and debilitated by this mental illness.Thank you for your letters, your bravery, and your willingness to keep this important discussion going. Together we will prevail.Now that we are in recovery, it's time to get back to our purposeful intentions. Once the fog clears, we may be able to see an inkling of the bright and beautiful dreams that we once had...but it's still accompanied by fear for so many of us. What if we drive ourselves to exhaustion...and never achieve what we most desire?How much love, happiness and abundance do any of us REALLY deserve?I don't know about you, but I WANT IT ALL. And I am SO OVER the struggle of getting it. We deserve the mass abundance. Haven't we killed ourselves enough already? As women, (in most cases) we are the glue that is holding together the lives of our families, and yet we STILL struggle with knowing our self-worth. If we are really under-valued and under-appreciated --- it's only because we have tolerated it for FAR. TOO. LONG.On Today's Show...Let's get in touch with our personal power.Today I'll be interviewing the fabulous Christy Whitman who teaches over-worked mom leaders (like you) how to NOT GIVE UP and thrive in your highest level of abundant potential...even when you are feeling most "trapped" in an unfulfilling life. Her unique methods have been highlighted in the New York Times, NBC TV, People Magazine and USA Today!Tune in today to learn:❀ How to create REAL abundance ... even when everything up until now has been a struggle.❀ How your beliefs could be limiting the amount of abundance you create, and – more importantly – how you can change your beliefs to create what you KNOW YOU DESERVE.❀ Common beliefs that have been limiting women for centuries and why it's the perfect time for THIS generation of women to overcome and conquer them!❀ How to believe that "having it all" is possible even after losing a job, going through a divorce, struggling for years to lose 25lbs, or searching for love...

Join us for a very special live broadcast...It's been four weeks since the last time I aired a live show for you. In seven years, I've never taken this long of a hiatus. The truth is... I needed some time to get help with the depression that I've been battling.Hows that for honesty?Since I "came out" as someone who has been battling depression, the private messages have been pouring in from others who have either been silently suffering with this illness or have watched a love one suffer. Many didn't realize depression was an actual illness that requires medical attention until they read the description of my experience.More people are affected than you may realize.You won't want to miss today's discussion if the conversations you have with yourself sound anything like mine did:"You can't be depressed, you have a wonderful life.""Depression is for those who are not as strong willed as you are. It's for the weak. You are too aware and SMART to be depressed.""You have nothing to be depressed about, so cheer up... do some affirmations, listen to some self development audios and get a grip.""You can't be depressed. Your children need you to be happy ...FOR THEM."If you or someone you know is suffering from this mental illness…I PROMISE YOU... today's show will not be ...DEPRESSING (pun intended)!On Today's Show...I will be discussing the following:❀ _My own personal battle with depression ... and how my life was just recently saved._❀ The difference between sadness and depression and why you cannot manage them the same way.❀ _What depression feels like and how to recognize if you or someone you love has been struck with this illness._❀ _How to forgive and acknowledge depression whether it belongs to you or a loved one._❀ _How to deal with it, not be afraid of it, and get THE RIGHT KIND OF help (even when nothing seems to be working)._❀ _How to know when medical intervention is necessary and why taking anti-depressants DOES NOT make a person weak._I will be joined by a very special friend for the hour.Lisa Lamont has been teaching "Mirror Love" to thousands of women through a group she founded called Prancing Kittens. She has been a wonderful friend to me and so many others during some of the darkest times. Lisa will be joining us today to (mostly to hold MY hand) but also to give us deeply guided discussion on self love.

Parents have ENOUGH to worry about... now this?For modern parents, the list of safety and health issues to stay aware of is rapidly growing. We already know that we are likely living in a toxic world and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.We only have so many battles to fight... is this one of them?While some parents are still unsure how much we really need to concern ourselves with the toxins that don't APPEAR to be negatively impacting us, others have already experienced a massive decline in the quality of their family's lives. These parents are constantly searching for answers to explain flair-ups in autism, eczema, Hoshimoto's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, and more.Information overload might be HURTING our awareness...For many patients, once it was determined that mainstream medicine wasn't working, there became a new abundance of research in the holistic field that only leads us down costly paths of cabinets filled with solutions, supplements and restricted diets, turning people into prisoners who are afraid to ingest anything at all.Is there hope for us... AT ALL?DragOn Today's Show...DragJoin me in welcoming our expert, Eileen Durfee, practitioner of nutritional balancing science, who has dedicated much of her life to discover new ways for us to eliminate every day toxins and restore minerals using "hair analysis."Let's get informed together!Whether you and your children already have excellent health or you are struggling with constant medical needs and challenges, today's show will bring you up to speed with how to implement easy enhancements for optimal health for your entire family. Increase the quality of your life with knowledge of nutritional balance without breaking the bank or creating any more confusion!

Why are some people good at everything...and they make it look easy?There are common virtues that live inside all successful people.A strong work ethic, yes. A certain level of intelligence, certainly. Ambition and a belief in oneself, most definitely.But success is a curious thing. The virtues and beliefs we hold, while the cause of success in one area of life, often don’t lead to success in other areas.Think of the workaholic with a miserable marriage. A loving family with no money to send their children to college.The rich CEO who hasn’t taken a vacation in years.Having it all...Money, love, fulfillment, happiness, respect, time, etc… is HARD.It’s hard enough to sacrifice one area of your life to have success in another, so having success in everything might seem IMPOSSIBLE.It is not. It is not only a goal worth pursuing... it's a life worth living.On Today's Show...Join me in welcoming my friend and colleague Allyson Chavez, the passionate mind behind this amazing free summit.I am excited to be one of the expert speakers included in the online summit Bigger. Fuller. Better: Your Guide To A Richer More Fulfilled Life.Allyson will be joining us on the show today to tell us about this tremendous group of experts that she has put together, and what you can expect from joining us at the summit.Success may be hard, but it really CAN BE that simple.Join Miracle Academy creator Allyson Chavez and a host of other experts in money, love, health, relationships, energy, manifesting and more, and discover how you can have success in ALL areas of your life, not just a few.

Empowering a New GenerationTime to change the world. No, really. Our world is in need of BIG TIME improvements.Without blaming each ourselves or each other for the bleakness of our world, it's time to start a serious dialogue about what we can do about it. We are parents. We are thought leaders, innovators and game changers. We are raising beautiful, savvy and intelligent children and we have the tools to guide them into the vanguard.Preparing our children to save the worldThis task is not as daunting as you think. By adhering to our moral compass and extending beyond what parents have narrated in generations past, we are looking at the advent of a new day.Shelly Lefkoe has a personal vision to transform the way we parent. She believes that if we raise a conscious generation of children, violence will end, people will treat each other with respect and dignity, and life on this planet will be better for everyone.On Today's Show...Join me in welcoming the amazing and dedicated Shelly Lefkoe to discuss the REAL answer to what your job is as a parent. (Hint: it's not what you think!)We'll be talking about:❀ How to know which parenting experts to listen to (and which to not!)❀ The most important TWO PRINCIPLES that will guide you to be the best parent you can be.❀ The single most important thing that will determine your child's future.❀ How negative beliefs such as "I'm not good enough" are formed as a result of parental interactions and what you can do to ensure that your child forms positive beliefs.❀ How beliefs formed in childhood will affect your child later on in life.❀ What beliefs your children should have in order to have a successful life and how you can make sure they have them!

Don't like this reality? CHANGE IT.If you are aching for peace and harmony, you are not alone. Recent events has filled the media, workspace and cyber boards with adversity and distress around the world. Being emotionally depleted from such heartbreak can lead to aggressiveness, anger and feeling out of balance.... but you don't have to play that game.If peace is what you seek, let peace be your response.One of the greatest lessons in A Course in Miracles is that in order to battle with others we must invest ourselves into the fight. In other words, defensiveness STEALS YOUR ENERGY and demands that you explain yourself to people who will deliberately misinterpret you for their own ego. It's like screaming into a vacuum... a waste of your precious time in this lifetime.On Today's Show...I am honored to be introducing you to the great Miguel Ruiz Jr., son of Don Miguel Ruiz, one of the greatest New Age spiritual enlightenment teachers of the century. Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. is a Nagual, a Toltec Master of Transformation. He is a direct descendant of the Toltecs of the Eagle Knight lineage and is the son of don Miguel Ruiz. By combining the wisdom of his family’s traditions with the knowledge gained from his own personal journey, he now helps others realize their own path to personal freedom."Any emotional reaction you experience is yours, not anyone else's, and consequently it is here to teach you something about yourself. The Master of Self sees this as an opportunity to learn and grow."~Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.

Intuitive Leaders see the world as it COULD be.Parents have super powers. You can't deny that you tapped into something other-worldly upon entering into your role as a Mom or Dad. The transformation into parenthood allowed you to expand on a deep rooted intuition and the ability to make quick decisions without the interference of rational thought.This is no accident.As a caretaker, you have the super-ability to see the cracks through which the light gets in, predict and prepare for "accidents waiting to happen," concoct emergency contraptions creatively with just a few random objects in a diaper bag, and improve upon the lives of your families and communities with a natural ability to PIONEER.Parents instinctually look upon the world with fresh eyes filled with possibility, just like the children they are caring for.No wonder parents make excellent business leaders!In between the juggling and balancing act of family, career and self-care, parents have the innate ability to take things out of their original context and connect the dots to form revolutionary ideas and innovations. All of those solutions that you come up with on a daily basis, the way you manage multiple schedules and carpools, and handle the unexpected?-- THAT is true innovation.Parents are natural interdisciplinary thinkers.Like great entrepreneurs and inventors, parents are conduits for growth. Whether you are spiritual or not, your intuition is derived from many of the same spiritual resources that spark meaningful conversations and problem solving experiences.Parents and Innovators have VISION.To create and problem solve on a daily basis the way most parents do... you must believe in what you cannot see, hear, feel, touch or smell. In other words, FAITH. An idea that you cannot experience through one of your 5 senses... but is still worth fighting for because of YOUR BELIEF IN IT.

Adventure Time for Parents and Kids!We are busy moms....we get it. On a good day we barely have time to cross off all the items on our "to do" list, let alone build in quality family time. Research shows that even a small amount of time (10-15 engaged minutes) can do wonders for a child's self-esteem, make them bully-proof and even prevent disease.Quality time for a quick five!The staff at This Little Parent... is going nuts for our new Gnome Kits!! Now that summer is here and we are attempting to scale back our work time, QUALITY is Key!It turns out that staying fully engaged with your kids in a fun activity for only 15 minutes each day creates memorable moments that proves to be SO valuable ... that they may even forgive you for working at home.Oh... the irony.Get your kids off of their electronic devices with... (are you ready?)... AN APP!When it comes to screen time, we don't always make the best choices. We are all guilty of handing our digital devices over to our kids to keep them occupied while we grab a few minutes of uninterrupted adult time. Whether you need that time to make a quick phone call or send an email... navigating your way through summer vacation can be the biggest challenge for work-at-home moms.This summer, deepen your connection with your kids!Simply follow the "Gnome Prescription" of taking tiny daily adventures with your children and create quality experiences for the entire family that fit snug into just 15 minutes!On Today's ShowQuality Time Goes A LONG Way!Meet the creator of the revolutionary new App for moms and kids, Gnome On the Roam! As a working mom, Anne Armstrong wanted to create more meaningful, creative experiences with her son, but struggled with time management. Tired of feeling guilty, she created an app that provides both education and family fun in 15 minutes a day.Join us to learn how Gnome on the Roam can allow you to easily:✔️ find the inspiration for a creative adventure that fits easily into 15 minutes✔️ slow down long enough to spend real, quality time with your kids✔️ strengthen your child's creativity and sense of adventure✔️ buoy your child's sense of worth/esteem/well-being✔️ actually build new neural pathways in your child's brain (and yours as well)

Real progress often starts with pandemonium.If you are tired of the gorilla chatter and constant arguments about who is to blame, I promise you, this is a discussion of which you'll want to be a part.The unfortunate loss of an innocent animal's life has caused a significant shift in a collective concern.If anything positive has come out of the traumatic incident at the Cincinnati Zoo, it's that we've opened up a dialogue for parents across the country who are tired of being blamed. Moms on every social site are admitting that they are relieved that this didn't happen to THEM and confessing to the shame and fear that taints their parenting abilities on a constant basis. We are finally standing up in unison and crying ..."We've Had Enough!"Parents are sick and tired of being attacked. No matter how we do it, it seems we are doing it wrong. It's no wonder we have lost faith in ourselves and hesitate every time we need to make a parenting decision.We are getting mixed messages.We are condemned for helicopter parenting in the same breath... as NOT helicopter parenting.We rant about childhood obesity... but keep our children inside like caged animals because we are too busy to hover over them as they play outside.We grumble that our children are too entitled, but we won't allow them to experience anything adverse on their own and we get attacked if we ever let them make a mistake.We are deteriorating.Shame parenting has infected us like a virus and it's slowly wearing away any joy that the promise of being a parent was supposed to bring.If we as a society keep blaming and shaming one another, we will scare future parents out of populating the planet.It's getting serious, people.We are risking the future existence of our grandchildren. We are preventing our children from learning basic coping skills and the ability to flourish as adults. Worst of all...WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES.On Today's ShowI'm thrilled to re-welcome my dear friend and regular This Little Parent contributor, Rick Clemons, the most perfect person I could think of to guide us in this discussion.If we want to overcome shame, we should learn from those who are most experienced.As a highly recognized author and passionate benefactor in the LBGTQ community, Rick has worked with shame victims his entire career. Known as "The Coming Out" coach, Rick came out to his family before helping many other gay fathers follow in a similar path.Also being discussed on today's show...Rick will be talking about How to Make your Quirk Work!

Turn Regression into ProgressionA few weeks ago, I traveled back into another lifetime. I had only intended to experience a regression for research purposes, but what I came away with was life altering. I went in with the intention to understand what having insight into a past life might reveal for us in our present reality. I had heard that visiting a past life could fill in gaps to life's puzzles and while I knew that I had many missing pieces, I NEVER could have predicted the outcome.Past life...parallel reality... alternate Universe... or DELUSION?Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover memories of past incarnations. Though, in the spiritual and psychology community there is some exploratory discussion and debate about what actually occurs during a therapy regression session. Whether you believe in a Holographic Universe, (the belief that all realities are happening simultaneously) Karma, (the sum of a person's actions in previous states of existence which decides the fate of future existences) or Psychoanalysis and Dream Interpretation (investigation of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind), there are large benefits to allowing yourself to experience the hypnosis process for unlocking personal life mysteries.Heal your Present by Tapping into your PastIn my past life regression therapy, I learned that we are capable of moving through alternate experiences from a comfortable space and how to view a paralleled encounter from an objective perspective. It's difficult for us to see the value of our current reality while we are still living it, but through a past-life regression, we are literally able to view ourselves and our situations as an objective observer. It's an elevated experience where we are ultimately revealing the root cause of a current belief system and given the ability to release karmic patterns... which can be incredibly HEALING.On Today's ShowJoin us for a Journey into Another Lifetime!Please welcome the incredibly insightful and talented Pamela Beaty, a past life therapist for almost thirty years.

The Art of Living in FlowYou MUST BELIEVE that you already have --- built right into your DNA--- the natural inclination to succeed. So why are you still struggling? Short (and obvious) answer: Because you are still STRUGGLING.Transformative work DOESN'T have to hurtIf you believe that success never comes easy without hard work and sacrifice, that may be part of your problem. You are what you feed your mind. Everything you know and believe has come from your own "experiments" in life. By tapping into a higher perspective and expanded consciousness, you will be able to rewire your beliefs on a cellular level, and shift your reality... immediately.How are you holding yourself back?If FLOW really is effortless and easy, then we must be unaware of SOMETHING that we are doing to disrupt the abundance for which we are aching. What are these obstacles and how are they tripping us up? Identifying our own personal "blind-spots" are never as easy as pointing them out for a friend, but overriding your current set of self-limiting beliefs starts with knowing WHAT they are.Moms already have advanced intuitionYou KNOW you can't debate this. Since becoming a parent you have become aware of things you were never capable of processing before. You have become more fearless, more creative, more synchronistic. There is a good chance that you have already experienced FLOW without even realizing it. The trick is to be more deliberate in the creation of your reality rather than to feel like you have stumbled upon a good mood by accident! =) =)On Today's ShowWe are talking about how to FLOW on purpose.Please join me in welcoming our expert guest, Justin Faerman to the show today! After studying with masters of flow, reality creation and effortless living, Justin became an expert in the mechanics of flow principles and began replicating these experiences in his own life with precision and certainty.Today Justin will be sharing with us:❀ What is FLOW?❀ How to apply this way of living in your everyday life❀ Why just thinking positive and saying affirmations is not enough to really shift your reality❀ How your reality is a reflection of your own consciousness and why it matters for effortless living

The global trend that was started by MomFed up with a world that demands that women earn half of their family's household income, but refuses to pay them equally and penalizes them for having children... it's no wonder that Moms have started their own businesses in record numbers.Congratulations. We've rewritten the cultural American landscape.Whether you realize it or not, you have contributed to the movement that changed work and family life in revolutionary ways. While corporations were scratching their heads, 30 million women were creating new wealth and contributing to a surge of global employment opportunities for the last 10 years.The "Mom" movement has grown exponentially...and is STILL experiencing growing pains.Still, there is some disappointment.(Don't worry. You are NOT the only one!) Many mom(no apostrophe)s in business are still not earning what they had hoped to when they were first bitten by the entrepreneur bug. Everywhere you look there is another social media pal trying to get your attention on a new product or opportunity. We are getting confused about what SUCCESS actually means. Personal aspirations and financial goals need to be reached... for sanity's sake....It's not about keeping up with the Jones's anymore.We are free to define success on our own terms (no comma) and that is reason enough to celebrate. As long as we are able to work at our own pace, pay for stuff, play with stuff and experience stuff...ON OUR TERMS... I say, that's progress.

My friend, David Essel, doesn't believe in the power of positive thinking...WHAT?! Why would I entertain such a preposterous idea??? Because I love David. --AND--because he's always been an amazing guest in the past, I will always welcome him on our show. BUT I gotta admit, I am intrigued by what the title of his new book suggests. I am skeptical because positive thinking has always been my biggest intention--- with EVERYTHING. Have I had it wrong all along? With an open mind today, we are going to find out.The bold title of his book is this:“Positive Thinking Will NEVER Change Your Life… But This Book Will!”With 30 years of work in the field of personal growth, David Essel is the author of 9 books on self-realization. He promises to reveal why the real ‘’secret to success’’ requires much more than positive thinking, affirmations or vision boards, and that no one ever changed their lives through positive thinking alone.One thing I know for sure...David is the real deal. He cares about our self-development and personal progress. He DOES NOT create books and programs that are designed to keep us in the dark...not the way other "gurus" do. If he believes the "Positive Thinking" trend is steering us in the wrong direction, I want to know why.On Today's ShowDavid Essel will be joining us today to discuss:✔︎ “The Real Secret to Success” and why it has very little to do with positive thinking or affirmations.✔︎ Why “The Law of Attraction for Success”, through vision boards etc., will NEVER bring you millions of dollars or the love of your life.David says we need to stop believing this nonsense now!Do you think it's nonsense?Tune in today to find out what he believes will make a bigger difference in the positive results we receive into our lives.

Time to Get ProfitableTired of being busy... and broke? You could be totally driven, a complete firecracker when it comes to good intentions, and well-meaning in all of your (aggressive?) sales tactics.... but if you are not profitable, you aren't going to be able to sustain your momentum. Period.Time for (a loving) reality check!If you are serious about creating self-sustaining F-R-E-E-D-O-M and the kind of income that allows you to live the at-home lifestyle you see in all of the bogus memes featuring happy toddlers with their laptop happy moms...it's time to get real about STRATEGY.Your small business has more potential ---AND YOU KNOW IT.Self-employment is just as competitive these days as corporate employment. However, when you are your own boss, YOU are always in charge of your path, your profits and your potential. There is NO LIMIT to what you can accomplish by anyone else's standards. YOU control how much time that you work, how you structure your business, how you create value for the clients you serve, and HOW FAR YOU ARE WILLING TO GO for greater impact, influence and (above all...) PROFIT!On Today's ShowEither do what it takes to be GREAT... or don't do it at all!It's been way too long! We are welcoming back one of my favorite business coaches--- not your typical "guru". She's an out-of-the-box business strategist who works with her people to be SMART and DELIBERATE until they get quantifiable results... The amazing Michelle Pippin... the one who I call when I need to shake things up a bit, or a swift kick in the pants... =) =)We are discussing:✓ Why PROFIT is how your business keeps score.✓ Why most small business owners are stuck spinning their wheels while others have no problem reaching their income and lifestyle goals in record time.✓ How to define "leveraged" income... and how to meticulously plan for it.✓ The one thing a business owner can do to increase their income, impact and influence as a "self-bosser".

Becoming the boss of your own business and adopting leadership qualities can and will improve upon your parenting style.Be Present in All Areas of Your Life!How you show up as an entrepreneur lays the groundwork for how you show up as a parent.

I'm finally doing it.Last week I was offered my very first book publishing contract. For years others tried to convince me to write a book, but I was never quite in the mood. My publicist, television and radio partners, managers and colleagues in my industry all had the same tough love lecture for me." You need a book. It will make a big difference in helping you reach personal and professional goals."I wasn't so easy to convince.The truth is I was still licking my wounds from five years earlier. I had enthusiastically signed a contract with a reputable literary agent and dedicated myself to 11 grueling months of writing a 60 page book proposal. After more than 18 rounds of edits, the proposal was ultimately rejected by every major publisher that we pitched it to. In a snap, all my big visions, hope of a big pay off (big paycheck!) and sleepless late night editing sessions were brushed aside without matter. I felt disregarded, abandoned and WASTED. So much precious time had been squandered. I NEVER wanted to experience that again.One thing I knew without a doubt---> I had an important message of empowerment for struggling parents and I would stop at nothing to support those who needed my help. I had big ideas for how I would explode my platform to make a difference. By the time I was broadcasting to millions on iHeart Radio, I didn't see a book as necessary. In fact, the idea of toiling over the keyboard to find 80,000 meaningful words made my head spin. Where would I find the time? And more importantly... _would the effort really be worth the results?_Why I was finally convinced...Even with my bold and noteworthy mission to lift up modern parents to all their potential, impressive stats as a national radio broadcaster, and massive social influence, my publicist wasn't able to "sell" me to the big media outlets. Without a book, I was just another podcaster and guru coach.The benefits of writing a book began to add up quickly to tremendous value.So, upon doing some soul searching, I eventually said yes to authoring my first novel. This is what I learned:A book gives you credibility.So often we take our skills and knowledge of a particular industry for granted. We forget that others don't know what we know and will find value in the education and enlightenment we have to offer. As an expert, writing a book gives you the opportunity to establish authority, improve upon leadership abilities and contribute to meaningful discussions in your area of expertise.Writing makes you SMARTER.The creative writing process itself serves as a conduit for growth and progress...so you don't just SEEM smarter... you actually become more well-rounded and quick-witted. Plus, it puts you on a quest to search for deeper meaning in your industry and career aspirations.Writing a book is PURPOSEFUL.Not only is it rewarding to share perspective and know that your well thought out narrative will be meaningful to your readers, but writing about your life experiences and worldview contributes to deep insights, progress and change.A book gives you a voice that is entirely unique.There is great power in your written word and when you share your voice with the world you are given an opportunity to express yourself with a rare and distinct vantage point. Many of the most successful business leaders in the world use publishing as a way to exchange innovative ideas as well as to predict where the world is going.A book... is like... REALLY good therapy =)Ego aside, habitual writing commonly reveals solutions to your most pressing questions and life challenges. Writing is a highly effective and exploratory process that allows you to flesh out original ideas which often rekindles the flame of passion in a career that might have become stagnant and under-stimulating.Books improve business.The dedication and commitment that it takes to author a book shows passion and authenticity for what you do. It's a terrific way to attract pre-qualified clients to your business, because they can learn all about your insights through a credible and non-intimidating outlet. By the time they have decided to approach you for business, they have already bought into your message.On Today's ShowA storyteller all her life, Juliet Dillon Clark was always the one who could tell parents, the cops, or anyone else a great story to get out of a tight situation.

Spring is here and so are happy days.It's the season of sunny weather, flying frisbees, birds singing, bees buzzing and people falling madly in love.Time to soak up the sunshine and its many healing properties!While history shows us that spring is associated with growth and renewal, there is scientific merit that Spring puts pep in your step! According to recent discoveries in neuroscience, the extra hours of daylight have a direct result to helping our brains increase in production of DOPAMINE... the kick ass chemical in your brain that makes you feel and do happy things... whatever they may be. (Reference: Urban Dictionary).A Time for New BeginningsIt's the time of year where energy levels are boosted, curiosity and sense of adventure is heightened, and new ideas are brimming for all the budding artists, entrepreneurs and thought leaders. You may notice that your children are suddenly more inclined to figure things out, problem solve and (uh oh...) push boundaries. Take a lesson from your little mentors--- wouldn't it benefit you to operate with less fear and more enthusiasm... just like their childlike ways?A Time for Spring CleaningDon't stop at your closets and garages... your mind needs a deep cleaning and de-cluttering ritual as well. Re-check those old thought patterns and get rid of the ones that are no longer serving you. It's time to make room for all those fresh new ideas that Spring brings each year!A Time for Falling in LoveWhether you are ready to rekindle a long time relationship, fall in love with someone new, or make a loving commitment to yourself and your personal desires, Spring is an ideal season to birth and create all those fresh new ideas that are surrounding you!On Today's ShowIs there really such a thing as a SOUL MATE?I can't think of anyone better to answer that question than one of the greatest love & relationship experts of today, the lovely and brilliant Arielle Ford. She will be joining us on today's show to discuss:❤︎ How you can turn your mate into your soulmate❤︎ Why couples SHOULD wear rose colored glasses❤︎ Health benefits to being married (as opposed to just being in a relationship or living with someone)❤︎ Why taking personal responsibility for your happiness is better for your relationshipand more!!

There is an absolute science to effective publicity and promotion.I've been teaching solopreneurs how to promote and publicize themselves since before the invention of the Internet. A lot has changed. While the digital resources available to us now far exceed what we could do before the digital age, one thing that has not changed is the mental struggle people have to self-promote.Get passed the AWKWARDNESS...Whether you are networking in person or on social media, telling others how great your product or service is might feel a bit like bragging. It also feels like (most of the time) it's falling on deaf ears. You must be missing something. You see others receiving big time results doing all the same things that are bringing you little to no results.The secret?It's not a numbers game. It's a PEOPLE game. When broadcasting your message, don't confuse the ability to cast a wider net with the need to CONNECT and understand WHO is in need of your service in the first place.Call Me Old School, but...It's time to go back to the basics.On Today's Show...we'll take a lesson from the history books and discuss good old fashioned promotion and publicity--- pre-social media.Not to ignore the benefits of the virtual space entirely, we'll revisit the principles of BASIC HUMAN CONNECTION that have been lost behind our digital devices.All of my best self promotional secrets revealed!Tune in to learn:✔︎ Where to find your ideal clients (On which platforms are they hanging out?)✔︎ How to tweak many of your current social media messages to bring you better results. (Hint: Quality vs. Quantity).✔︎ How to use social media to search for conversations that are seeking an expert (like you... to come in and save the day!)✔︎ Which of your current actions on social media are a complete waste of time. (And how to replace them with actions that give results every time!)

Not everyone has the same 24 hours in a day.I admit that it was always a bit irritating to hear an arrogant (and intolerant) business guru insinuate that we all have a CHOICE in how we manage our time.If you are a work-at-home mom, you know that these apparent rules of time do not apply to YOU. If you are a mom with YOUNG children, you may feel like you are living in an alternate universe where 10 hours back on earth translates into a mere 30 minutes on Planet Mom. Yep, finding the time to work in your home business while raising a family might possibly the biggest paradox there is.Not all hours are the same ....and neither are the children.Sure, there may be some children who were born able to happily entertain themselves while you sit behind your laptop. (I personally haven't met any of them, but I hear that they exist SOMEWHERE...)What is more common (and less talked about) is the temper-tantrum throwing toddlers (like my oldest) who wouldn't hear of it. Attempting to work while parenting one of these adorable monsters is not at all recommended as it might lead to a mommy melt down (as it did in my case. Ahem.)As one of the most challenged work-at-home mom's in town, I had very little "village support" and a VERY small budget for child care. Therefore, I was forced to find a way to build my business with what little time I had. With only 6 un-interrupted hours of kid-free quiet time in a single week, I was determined to make every second count.The secret is in THE SCHEDULE.It took months of frustration (and an overwhelming lack of sleep) but through a game of trial and error, I eventually figured how to PRODUCE MORE in LESS TIME by adopting a very strategic weekly schedule... complete with cancellation policies, flexibility, confirmations and a solid system of task listing.On Today's ShowAll of my best time management secrets will be revealed!If you are a BUSY MOM who feels like she never gets anything accomplished... I GUARANTEE this hour of radio will improve upon your chaotic life and maybe even give you a few extra minutes of time to pee. Joining us today is Gavin Zuchlinski, founder of ACUITY SCHEDULING, with some amazing time management (and sanity saving) tools & tips.Tune in to learn:✔︎ How to work with the hours that you have (NOT the ones you don't.)✔︎ How to "prioritize" tasks. (Yes, even the laundry.)✔︎ When it's okay to MULTI-TASK (and when it should be avoided at all costs!)✔︎ How time management adapts with your kid's age✔︎ How to offset the cost of childcare with "money-making" tasks. (Let's face it. It's not a business unless you have cash flow!)✔︎ How to adopt personal business policies that protect you from the unexpected. (Oh yeah, don't you love it when clients cancel just AFTER you paid the babysitter?)

"Men need to learn how to be in touch with their feelings, but not ruled by them."- Dr. John Gray, Author of Men are from Mars Women are from VenusHolding Ourselves to a Higher StandardAs parents, business leaders and soul seekers we feel called to a purpose and therefore we must learn to recognize the importance of standing in full integrity in all that we do. Curiosity is a conduit for moving forward, but ultimate results involves learning to make choices for how we show up, honor ourselves and create stories that validate the essence of our most authentic selves. In other words, our ability to achieve our highest potential means choosing to have an unfiltered connection to our minds and higher level of consciousness.Consciousness is no longer just for WomenBeing able to experience a deeper bond of mindfulness is now being explored by both genders, however, the way the experience is translated takes on different properties depending on the identifiable gender.Both men AND women desire a deeper level of intuition and therefore can benefit from spiritual enlightenment. Beginning with the simple choice and decision to commit to a sacred space of intimacy through reflective prayer or meditation can often lead to a more conscious path.Get Humble Enough... to Listen.In previous decades male and female roles were very defined, with women in the kitchen and dealing with childcare, and men working and not expressing their feelings. These roles have now changed. For men to become great leaders, as well as husbands and fathers they need to develop the capacity to LISTEN.On Today's ShowBook Cvr Conscious MenDr. John Gray returns to This Little Parent Stayed Home today with some new insight on why women want a conscious man.Conscious Men: A Practical Guide to Develop 12 Qualities of the New Masculinity is a revolutionary new book by Dr. John Gray, the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of MEN ARE FROM MARS WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS that sold over 50 million copies worldwide. This book explores how men can unshackle themselves from the conditioning of survival-focused consciousness of their forebears, and live more consciously to their fullest potential.Providing insight to both Men AND WomenGray says, “Women today want a Conscious Man who is more sensitive and in touch with their feelings.”Conscious Men gives women insight of how they can recognize a good and trustworthy man, as well as how to support and bring the BEST out of her man. This book guides men and the women who love them to apply their expanded consciousness and discover a new sense of purpose, new choices, new ways of respecting women and new ways to love and be loved.

Need to make some quick changes in your life?You already have access to every tool you could ever need to shift your mindset and alter your vibration! Whether you are knee deep in the chaos of day-to-day parenting, in a disagreement with a business partner or just plain stuck in a place of hopelessness... you can turn it all around... RIGHT NOW. Here are a few ways to alter your vibration by first becoming self aware of negative thought patterns:Destroy that Downward Spiral!When you find yourself hyper-focused on something negative, force yourself to do something completely different that will distract your attention away from it. Excessive worry is NEVER productive... because it's not rational or solution-oriented.Your thoughts can't hold any power over you if you don't judge them. Once you have identified the negative thoughts that are not serving you, simply DETACH yourself. (I know. I know. Easier said than done.)Recognize your REACTIONARY thoughts and SQUASH them!"He is being quiet. He MUST be angry with me.""My supervisor just called a meeting. She's probably going to fire me.""I didn't hear from my client. They must not want to work with me anymore."Refrain from Using AbsolutesHave you heard yourself use phrasing like "This (bad thing) ALWAYS happens to me!" or "She NEVER listens to me"? Thinking and speaking in absolutes programs your brain into believing that situations are worse than they really are.Retrain yourself to expect ...something BETTER.This may be difficult if you are used to a lifetime of disappointments. Often we don't want to get our hopes up if it means they will come crashing down. However, expecting the worst usually brings about just that. Instead of bracing yourself for anything displeasing that might be headed your way, remind yourself that no matter what the day brings... you have a positive perspective and are capable of handling it with flying colors!Axe the Assumptions & Accelerate the EaseOften our fears are only fabrications of excessive worry and low self-esteem, but when we make negative assumptions about a situation that appears to threaten our mood (or sanity!) we often jump to outlandish conclusions that are far worse than they actually are. When this happens, we are likely missing a slew of other factors that are not immediately accessible to our vantage point. Before taking insult to injury, survey the situation.Is it possible there is something more that you are not seeing?Don't waste time trying to figure out what you did wrong or worrying that it's up to you to solve it. SURRENDER to the space that you are in and trust that no matter what happens... you have the ability to take on whatever may reveal itself to you.On Today's ShowI'll be sharing some tools to help you broaden your perspective into a more positive hypothetical! Turn those "what-if woes" into "what-if wows!" Please join me in welcoming to the show, Betsy Chasse, award winning filmmaker, best selling author, and my newest co-host on Wake Up TV! (And by the way... if you are as excited as we are to launch season 2... help us out by "donating" your social influence! It costs you nothing but a quick click!

Self Criticism: The #1 Creative ObstacleEnough with the guilt, already. I'll be the first to admit that overcoming self-doubt isn't the easiest task, but backing down in defeat is Not. An. Option. Not when it comes to making meaningful progress in our lives and in the contributions we are making to the self-employment industry.Yes, I said it.YOU are responsible for the Economic Revolution.We all are.We can no longer deny our place in this world as leaders of new thought and new progress.Isn't it time that we all push ourselves over the limit and especially past our limiting beliefs? We must make the commitment to procuring change and recognize when our pre-existing beliefs are self-sabotaging us, causing us to doubt and slow down our momentum.Doubt is our OPPORTUNITY to confront fear with courage.It's time that we stand up to those who underestimate us or dismiss us. Anyone who thinks we are nuts will just give us more reason to prove them wrong.I want to live in a world that I can proudly pass on to my children. Where we are bold enough to use our vulnerability to authentically connect with those who serve us and lift us up on our way. And where I am just as committed to doing the same for others on my path.In the end, we must be able to see ourselves on the other side of that finish line looking back and feeling proud of all the things that we have accomplished, all of the days that we got back up after a nasty fall, and the memoirs of motivation we will leave for our children.... so that they can make new progress even further than we did.It's time to tell the truth.This isn't just about making a buck, and it's no longer only about putting food on the table. Mom leaders are saving the world through revolutionary ideas and driving the new economy. We are doing it amid a sea of non-believers, inspiration killers and ego maniacs who are afraid of progress and change. No reason to stop now.

Bonus Material! This was an extra recorded hour in the studio where Jeff coached Ally with total transparency. No topic was off limits, and there was a lot of discussion about how to utilize the tools that Jeff uses with his clients for self improvement.

Achieving Great Success Starts With a Bit of Reprogramming.Much like the butterfly that has the ability to alter the weather with a simple flap of its wings, we have the power to create change…within ourselves, in the children we raise, in the businesses we build, and in the world we live in. It all starts with a simple mindshift. (simple... really?) Yes. Really.Believe in MAGIC.Whether you incorporate energy work, energy psychology, positive thinking, spirituality or simply a sense of conducting conscious business, you are essentially taking resources within yourself and applying them to your work. This process not only benefits YOU and your business but the world around you...including your children.Do you dare? Or do you delay?As parents living in a culture that expects us to be all things to everyone- including ourselves- we often don’t know where to start.When I first began this journey as a self-employed stay-at-home Mom, I was not only looking for a way to provide for my children that did not take me away from them every day, but also a way to nurture my desire to make an important mark on the world. I had QUITE an uphill battle ahead of me. I was determined to create wealth ON MY TERMS, prove to the naysayers that IT COULD BE DONE…and I didn’t care that I didn’t HAVE A CLUE where to begin....But I had more than “a clue”.I had a VISION that fueled so much passion in me… nothing would allow me to back down. Ignorance was most likely bliss… because if I REALLY KNEW what was ahead of me, I might not have ventured forward. I HAD TO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES– and I learned to close my eyes and ears to the negative chatter. Now, when I am asked about HOW I got to where I am… I can’t help but think of the times I was knocked down and ALMOST didn't get up.What got me up was the CLEAR VISION of where I was going. These moments taught me that MAGIC was possible.The Magic is already within YOU.When I say “magic,” I am talking about ALL that has been accomplished by those who had visions, followed their instincts, and broke new ground DESPITE being told it couldn’t be done.I am talking about those who trusted their heart even when their head told them it wasn’t logical, those whose ideas were rejected – whose confidence and self worth was marred – and those who found a way to create MEASURABLE SUCCESS against the odds.We must NEVER stop learning from those who have created magic before us. Every day new paths are paved FOR US … so that we may be able to create our own. When you turn your passions into something that fuels and sustains you, MAGIC defies the laws of science.We are all up against SOMETHING…that is what makes life INTERESTING. Trickery or not, the BELIEF in MAGIC is what fuels our spirit and feeds our energy to keep going.On Today's ShowPlease join me in welcoming to the show, Sheldon Pizzinat, healer, coach, author and educator who helps people free themselves from their mental and emotional blocks, feel more connected to their Spirit, on live purpose and congruent with their ideal visions.Meet Sheldon Pizzinat!After over a decade of feeling lost and disconnected from love and purpose Sheldon went through a life changing Spiritual Awakening lasting six weeks.

Here's to the criers.I had a bad day last week. Nothing significantly terrible happened... nothing that would leave any lasting scars... but nonetheless, it was a tougher day than usual.We all have them.I felt compelled to do a video journal of what I was feeling and before really knowing the reason behind my action, I posted it on Facebook. My "Ugly Cry" video generated quite a wide variety of responses. Some commented on my bravery, others made it known that the video made them uncomfortable.How do you react when you see someone else cry?"There is sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than that of ten thousand tongues."- Washington IrvingA quest to civilize tears.Is crying a sign of strength or weakness? Depending on the origin, good cries can lead to major breakthroughs, big innovations, a much needed release of pressure and great success stories. While crying can come from a feeling of low self worth and hopelessness, it can also be a sign of passion and the strength of self truth.Crying is gender discriminatory.While some may say that women are more free to express emotion, female LEADERS are not as easily forgiven. Male leaders, on the other hand, are praised for welling up in public, even though they may be taught at a very young age that showing public emotion is shameful.The double standard is the crying shame.Barack Obama, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have all demonstrated their emotional side in public with no loss of reputation. John Boehner has earned himself the nickname of "Weeper of the House" with little political fallout. How would the public react if Hillary Clinton shed a few tears?A flare for the dramatic.I admit it. I love to cry. I love to FEEL. It didn't occur to me that posting a video of myself crying was all that courageous, because unleashing the waterworks comes easily to me, and has never felt like something I should be ashamed of. I felt vulnerable (in the moment) but far from weak or helpless.This led me to see that we need to have a MUCH NEEDED discussion about public displays of emotion, our fear of shedding a few tears in public and our desire to turn away when we are witness to someone else's boo hooing. What would the world look like if we saw criers as both tender-hearted AND dignified? Does our future hold inspirational icons who drop rain without regret?On Today's ShowPlease join me in welcoming to the studio my very dear friend, an incredible woman leader who has always given great respect to her emotions as well as her extreme ability to defy the stakes, Kathleen Davison.One of my FAVORITE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, I have had the great privilege of standing in this life with Kat, having a deep and profound friendship with her, as well as basking in the glow of her authentic inspiration.I have watched Kat experience ---in just one year--- a brain tumor, sustaining brain damage, the loss of her dog just a few days before brain surgery, marriage separation, becoming a single parent of 2 young children, and the loss of her father. Despite everything, Kathleen went on to finish her film and make an award-winning directorial debut.Kathleen has never lost sight of herself or the desire to experience life to it's fullest ...because to her... abandoning hope has never been an option.

Bonus hour recorded for iHeart Radio's America's Talk. Phone lines were open for callers to share their questions and challenges. Ally guided them toward valuable solutions.We talked about how important it is to protect your vibration and not allow anyone to step into your space and cause you doubt. Often we are the ones who are battling the conversations in our minds that tell us we are not good enough and bring about large amounts of guilt. This show provided real answers for moms who are deep in their own shame.

Parents, you really are SUPER HUMAN!I have to keep reminding you of this because I don't think you QUITE GET IT. It seems every day I am talking with a mom or a dad who is feeling incompetent and insufficient. These same days I see resilient parents problem-solving and thinking creatively to make significant improvements in the world.Either there is a large divide between the exceptional and the inadequate, or there is still a large percentage of you who are still not giving yourself the credit that you deserve.It's all about the MINDSET.Being aware of your own mood is half the battle. Learning to adjust yourself and react in a positive manner is the other half. How self-aware are you?Check yourself against this list:1. Are you in alignment?When you are in "The Happy Zone" problems won't phase you. Even before a solution completely manifests itself, those who are in balance and harmony are able to surrender and allow situations to unfold with the greatest of ease. On the contrary, when you can't seem to keep up with the challenges, you are most likely being over powered by your insecurities. Remember: Anything can happen. When you have the right tools, you will be okay with whatever shows up.2. Are you mindful of your vibration?Check your mood. Is it being affected by what's happening in your life? Powerful manifestors do not allow the conditions of the current reality to dictate their internal compass. YOUR MOOD MUST BE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE or you will not be able to receive insight into a challenging situation. You must be willing to have whatever you are projecting be echoed back to you.3. Do you believe that ANYTHING is possible?We can't always predict the forces of the universe, and if you try, you might just make yourself crazy. Parents, we all tend to be control freaks and SURRENDER is not easy to do when you have kids to look after and a business to keep afloat...but you CAN actively take charge of your outcome by allowing yourself surrender to the unexpected--- even if it defies all logic.☟Listen Live Here☟Americas Talk Listen NowOn Today's ShowWe're dedicating ANOTHER hour to YOU and your challenges.The owner of Frame of Mind Coaching, Kim Ades returns to the show with a focus on parents!

The toughest moments are the ones that GROW YOU...You know what I am talking about. The growth moments... the ones that we appreciate more than anything once it's all over and we can look back with a good laugh and an "Aha!" --- but while you are still in it, you feel like clawing your own eyes out.My worst "mommy" moments are the teachable ones for me and my little guys. We are so totally in this together, and we make a great team...but we certainly have our fair share of dark times.Look for the lessonWithout the dark times, we wouldn't strive for the good ones.Whenever you find yourself getting twitchy and tormented, open up your consciousness to received guidance from the situation. What can be learned from this?You wouldn't be that amazing beacon of light to a friend in need unless you yourself had once been in a dark space.You can't be a teacher unless you were once a student.You can't succeed unless you have truly known what it was like to fail.The Players in your world are your Professors.There are most likely people in your life who push your buttons, get your cackles up, and cause you to see red. Perhaps its a family member or a friend from your past that has a knack for waking up your insecurities and triggering your defensiveness. It may be just an encounter with a stranger whose behavior is rubbing you the wrong way. No matter how much these people might get under your skin, its likely that they are appearing to you as a teacher. The feelings that others are igniting in your MUST come to the surface--- and they are being presented to you at the most perfect time. Rather than swat them away--- PAY ATTENTION. What needs to be healed? Sit in stillness, listen for the answer and honor your intuition.On Today's ShowI am going to reveal my dirty little secret for vanishing the varmints.... AND we will welcome on a fabulous author, Marilyn Harding! She is the Director of Artemis Alliance Inc., author of “Exhilarated Life: Happiness Ever After” and “Yesterday at Justin’s” a children’s book about divorce. Marilyn lives in Greece and is a contributing blogger on Huffington Post. Her writing reflects what it is like to live to your greatest potential.

Power Up Your Inner Healing Potential!About 15 years ago I woke up with a crick in my neck.What I expected to be a small annoyance that would diminish in a few days lasted an incapacitating and excruciating long 4 years. Like a cancer, the pain spread to the other side of my neck and into both shoulders and became so unbearable that often I couldn't work or drive. Desperate for reprieve, I spent an ungodly amount of money on pain institutes, chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists. Nothing worked. After 4 years, I began to forget what it was like to live in a pain-free body. The pain had BECOME me.I never would have believed it.Eventually the cure showed up in the most unexpected way. It came in the form of a book that my husband found in the library called "Mind Over Back Pain" written by Dr. Sarno, which suggested that the root of my pain was being caused --- not by an injury or a disease--- but from my own emotional baggage. (WHAT?!) Further suggestion was that the pain was my body's way of distracting me from an emotion I wasn't brave enough to experience, so it was festering in my neck and shoulder joints.I rejected the idea right away.I was insulted at the very idea that this physical agony was merely__ psychosomatic. However, desperate enough to try anything, I began to implement the suggestions in the book and set out to learn what deep rooted emotional wounds might be plaguing my subconsciousness.The Miracle of Mind PowerIn less than 8 weeks, my physical health was restored.After a combination of journaling, meditation, and weekly visits with a psychoanalyst where I poured through every area of my life that I could possibly be hiding from, the culprit was eventually revealed---and my pain subsided. For good. The habits I learned in that time became a ritualistic part of my weekly self-care routines, and have never stopped serving me. For the most part, pain has remained absent from my life for more than 11 years now.The Path to Emotional, Mental, and Physical Freedom.What this experience taught me with absolute certainty is that not all physical problems have physical origins. Range of MOTION can be limited by your Range of EMOTION.On Today's ShowThe emotional wounds that we take on as children often cause the self-limiting beliefs that we experience as adults, prompting troubling situations in our current personal relationships, physical well-being and professional life.Learn to eliminate false beliefs and limitations that are impacting your physical and mental health.Our expert guest, Reiki Master, retired physical therapist, and energy healer, Cynthia Mazzafero, works with a wide range of clients that all have a common theme of emotional entrapment. She will be discussing how our perceptions as a child impacts us throughout our lives and sharing ways that we can improve upon our own mental well-being as well as fostering healthy and emotionally vibrant children.

Awaken Your Inner Rebel!It's common for modern parents to become so engulfed in the tasks of parenthood that they forget to nurture themselves.This is serious, people!Some parents, when asked what they are personally passionate about don't even remember how to answer the question! If this is you... we need to talk!Today's amazing guest is the lovely Sheereen Thor here to guide an important discussion for all moms looking to make a difference. Not only is it POSSIBLE to be a good parent and serve your own passionate soul at the same time--- it's IMPERATIVE that you do so!Meet Shereen Thor!Shereen Thor is the founder of Awaken The Rebel, a movement that helps people who feel disenchanted with their lives to stop settling for less and awaken their inner rebellious spirit so that they can live an extraordinary life by their design.Born a creative type she learned early on in her traditional Egyptian upbringing that if she wasn’t a doctor, lawyer, or engineer than she would inevitably amount to nothing.So she got a degree, landed a job, and found herself utterly miserable at the age of twenty-four.Luckily one of her best friends suggested she go to a seminar where she was able to “Awaken her Inner Rebel,” and truly examine this life she had created. She decided to immediately quit her master’s degree program and start doing stand-up comedy. This was the official beginning of her writing her own Rebel Rule Book, and living life by her design.Shereen is certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and is a Certified Professional Coach by the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (an ICF accredited school).She is now an author, speaker & creator of a live event series entitled Awaken The Rebel Live, where rebels from all walks of life come together in Los Angeles, California to write their own rules together and live an extraordinary life.She lives in Santa Monica with her beautiful family & helps people every day write their own rules to the game of life at AwakenTheRebel.com

SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE!It's our last live show of 2015... and IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! And... in honor of another incredible year together... I have lots of surprises to announce, and loads of free gifts! Speaking of gifts...Tune in for our BEST TIPS for GIFT GIVING!We'll be covering the BEST way to give your spouse/ partner a gift this holiday season...and forever more. What does HE/SHE REALLY want you to get them, that they would never tell you themselves? This is FLAWLESS advice that will have your partner singing your praises every time.A LIFETIME of RetrospectWhat is in AN AGE? On the 42nd day of my birth, I have many realizations. I don't feel nearly as old as I thought I would 20 years ago. Why is that? I feel... youthful, fit, excited about being alive, and AGELESS. The benefits of being more "experienced" in life far outweighs having a few more expression lines on my face. I can't imagine a more meaningful place to stand than in the spot I am in right at this very moment.Happiness truly is the Measure of ALL THINGS.In this time of self-reflection, I've learned that happiness is 100% choice. We MUST be willing to BE HAPPY...and let go of everything that does not serve that intention. It is a privilege to be alive.Here's to us!We've overcome so much struggle, naivety and UNCERTAINTY. We've used our personal circumstances to carve out unique paths that have revealed our deepest desires. We've built a self-serving economy on OUR TERMS to support the people who we love most on this planet. We've uncovered strengths, talents and capabilities that we didn't know we had. We owned our journeys and gained wisdom far beyond our years. We demonstrated the true power of our minds, the ultimate value in our services, integrity in our businesses and undying dedication to our children.On Today's Show...We're getting deep and wise with the world's most active public philosopher, the author of the new wisdom novels The Oasis Within, and The Golden Palace. Best selling author Tom Morris joins us today for an enlightening journey through self-exploration toward inner peace, inner wisdom, and the truest gift that the world can give us: Uncertainty.Today's GuestTom Morris is one of the most active public philosophers in the world. And he’s now publishing a series of new books to bring wisdom into the life of every family. A native of North Carolina, he’s a graduate of UNC (Chapel Hill) and holds a Ph.D. in both Philosophy and Religious Studies from Yale.

He is also the author of such books as If Aristotle Ran General Motors, Philosophy for Dummies, The Art of Achievement, The Stoic Art of Living, and If Harry Potter Ran General Electric. He’s now publishing a series of novels being compared to The Alchemist, The Little Prince, Harry Potter and The adventures of Indiana Jones. The first two books in this series, The Oasis Within and The Golden Palace have just hit bookstores. Tom has been called the world’s happiest philosopher.

Escaping the Rat RaceFor many parents, home is where the heart is. If you have ever wondered about an easier way to bring home the bacon... one that didn't involve unbearable bosses, long commutes and expensive childcare...you've picked a great time to wonder.Now more than ever, the desire to work from home is a sign of the times. Parents are fed up with having little say in how they spend their time and they are no longer willing to sacrifice their precious family time for a paycheck.Trends have changed the way that we think about work and its effect on our lives. Corporations who were once skeptical of letting their employees have the freedom to work from a home office have since become more flexible. Over time studies have proven that teleworkers were happier, more engaged in their work, and more productive overall. It's FINALLY working out in our favor.More Telecommuting...A growing number of Corporations believe that telecommuting is a good deal for them as it reduces overhead expenses, allows access to talented workers who may not be available locally, provides off-hours support and helps retain employees.More work-at-home opportunities...Whether you have an entrepreneurial spirit or not, the number of start-up businesses continues to multiply... which means there are even more opportunities to work for an employer with the same values as YOU. This is especially good news if you are less inclined to become a business owner and you prefer to work under the leadership and guidance of someone else.Even more solutions...Remember when searching for jobs was as easy as scanning the classifieds? While exposure to at-home employment opportunities has exploded, a wide range of job ads are just a mouse click away... But so are the scams. With an average of more than 30 scams for every legitimate opportunity listed online, it's important to be extra cautious. Put on your logic cap and apply loads of common sense to any opportunity the promises easy money for a job that requires no skills and an investment up front.On Today's Show...We've called upon the career expertise of a real at-home executive recruiter in the gaming industry to give you the insider knowledge of a seasoned work-at-home veteran and give you an edge in finding meaningful and profitable employment. Brett "B.J." Bigley from Prime Candidate will be joining us today in a discussion of what it takes to get hired in today's virtual employment society.Today's GuestMeet B.J.

The choice to DEPRIVE or DELIGHT yourself...It's the season of parties, eating yourself into a coma and cookie exchanges galore. Why does it feel like we have to choose between the either/or of torturing our physical bodies or denying them any fun during the most celebrated time of the year?For 10 months out of the year, I am committed to a very healthy lifestyle. During the last 2 months of the year, I am equally committed to the exact opposite. It's the only time that I eat and drink whatever I want without the worry of the carb, caloric or fat content. I usually pay for it with an extra 6 pounds... which is what I expect going in...but is it REALLY worth it?You can have it... but do you really WANT it?Even though I will grant myself several weeks of sweet and rich food galore, I usually can't last more than a few days of excessiveness. No matter how hard I try to commit to an over indulgent diet of sugar, fat and alcohol--- I end up caving.Cheating on cheating.I can actually feel my body pleading with me for a healthier selection of lean proteins and leafy green vegetables which usually results in my re-negotiating with it:"Okay, fine. We'll eat healthy for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving, but after that... it's PARTY until 2016! No exceptions!"Healthy Holidays are IN.The reality is that over indulgence is never all that it's cracked up to be.Special occasion or not, our minds and bodies don't function optimally when not fueled properly. What may start out as a delightful treat for your beautiful body may begin to feel like a punishment instead. Don't be surprised when it fights back.Celebrate Your Healthy SelfInstead of inflicting maltreatment to yourself during this time of year, why not honor it with nutrition and wellness? Everyone looks forward to their favorite holiday foods and treats, but with the right outlook and game plan, you can still enjoy them without the over-indulgence and self-abuse. In the long run, your mind and body will thank you.On Today's Show...We'll be preparing you for an equally healthy and happy holiday season with tips from health expert Donna Parker on how to survive the holiday temptations while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Are our kids... Obstructing our Couplehood?Before you blame those little intimacy interrupters for taking away your "just us" time, statistics show that the longer we are married, the less frequently we do it. So while finding yourself in bed next to your partner year after year is important, proximity isn’t everything. Even if you are getting it on several times a week, marital sex loses its heat over time.It's okay.EVERYTHING loses heat over time.As human beings we become ho-hum about just about everything in our lives. Anything that might be thrilling at first (new car, new job, new house, new toys) lessens as our nervous system adapts so that new thing isn’t so stimulating anymore.Get your intimacy back on trackThe good news is that the sexual spark doesn’t have to go out just because you’ve been together for--you know-- ages. Start with TALKING about it. Seriously. Like beyond “wanna?” and “no, go away.” Show a little tenderness, fold some laundry and TALK. Then ACT. Vavoom.There IS a PURPOSE... (besides making babies).We already know that PASSION fuels and sustains us, so why not make lovemaking a priority? Staying physically fulfilled contributes to your personal alignment so that you are more mentally alert and ready to conquer your busy parent entrepreneur lifestyle. Not to mention, a quick roll in the hay has been proven to eliminates stress, stimulate flow and creativity, and increase self confidence.On Today's Show...We are welcoming back former guest and world renowned sex educator, Lou Paget. Nothing is off limits today--- so bring your questions for sure!Topics that we'll be covering:✔︎ Best sources of sexual health information✔︎ How to talk to our kids about sex✔︎ Fertility issues and how they impact our sex lives✔︎ Myth of spontaneous sexGot a comment or question?Dial in! 800-449-8686

How do YOU deal with life's hardest circumstances?What doesn't kill us makes us stronger... but only if we CHOOSE to respond in a way that propels us forward. We DO have a choice. Tragedy of any kind can change us, traumatize us and cause us to go the rest of our lives fearing the unexpected.---Or---It could quite possibly make our lives... BETTER.Imagine the bottom dropping out of your uncomplicated life.Sure, we complain about our imperfect lives: The bills piling up, careers not meeting our expectations, the kids acting up, the in-laws coming to visit... But it's rare that any of these day-to-day "challenges" wake us up and demand that we grab hold of a drastically different perspective.How LOSS leads to the embracing of LIFE.When her husband of 9 years was killed in a small plane crash, leaving her with children just 1 and 3, Michelle Steinke-Baumgard saw it as a REVELATION. Embracing her love of fitness, she utilized the healing properties of her own endorphins as a tool for her personal grief journey.A NEW PURPOSE was born.Titled One Fit Widow, the name of Michelle's business became a symbol to anyone who had experienced loss but was determined to live a full and meaningful life. Michelle knew that she wanted to take the label of "Widow" and give it a face-lift. Ridding it of previous negative connotations, thanks to Michelle, it now has new meaning.On Today's Show...All too often it takes a tragic situation for us to see how blessed we really are. Why wait until we are presented with a traumatic circumstance or the loss of a loved one before we decide to REALLY LIVE? Today, Michelle will be joining us to share her very authentic journey into widowhood and her powerful perspective of living an inspirational life after loss.Today's Guest44691 206199182855689 1316067552 nMeet Michelle Steinke-Baumgard!Michelle is the founder and CEO of 1FW Training and the One Fit Widow Nonprofit. After losing her husband in 2009, Michelle found a new love of fitness as a grief coping mechanism. Michelle decided to leave her corporate job to become a personal trainer and help change the lives of others dealing with life’s hardest circumstances. Michelle’s online virtual training company has over 2000 current members around the world and her foundation works with widows to help them find a new love for themselves and fitness, post loss. Starting in the fall 2015, Michelle will be kicking off “Live the List” where her foundation will help fund widows bucket list dreams to honor their late spouse.

In addition to her virtual training business, Michelle recently launched her own nonprofit focused on helping widows and widowers complete bucket list dreams to honor their late spouse while moving boldly into their future.

Participating PapasThe dad involvement is so evident in my community that we hardly question the presence of a man among the mommy's anymore. Whether it's changing diapers, staying up late to care for a sick child, coaching a team or participating in the PTA, modern dads have made it a priority to show up for their families more than in any other generation.Fatherhood is Alive and WellThe role of "Dad" has changed and so have our expectations. My husband comes home after a long work day and cleans dishes, folds laundry, and helps with homework. My co-host, Jeff is self-employed but goes into full Daddy mode as soon as school lets out. "Mr. Mom" is no longer a punchline because it's become more socially acceptable for a dad to wear his title proudly.Reinventing DadsAlthough modern fatherhood has brought about more family involvement, that isn't all that has changed. Get to know the dads on your neighborhood playground and you'll see that (much like modern moms) dads too have vision. They are passionate about PARENTING, building creative at-home businesses, and vibrantly embracing CHANGE.On Today's Show...We'll introduce you to two VERY DARING Dads who have brought fatherhood to a whole new level. Hogan Hilling and Jay Forte are both global speakers, best-selling authors and passionate parent advocates who have a powerful message for modern moms and dads...one that cultivates unity, support for the modern parent community and a bold vision for how we can greatly contribute to our families.PLUS!!!You'll get the exclusive scoop on the DADLY RALLY, which we'll all be participating in this spring!The DADLY Rally is a high-energy, educational and social event to reconnect dads to their passion for parenting and to build a powerful and supportive Dad community.The First Annual DADLY Rally in Los Angeles, CA"Activate, Educate, Appreciate"Date: Saturday, March 12, 2016 Time: 8 AM to 5:30 PMToday's GuestsMeet Hogan Hilling!Hogan Hilling is the author of seven parenting books and fatherhood expert.

Transformative Living Through the Art of Dream TendingDreams FASCINATE me. As a lucid dreamer, it isn't at all uncommon for me to wake up in the morning with the intense desire to share my unconscious nighttime experiences with my husband."I had the craziest dream last night!"Vivid and colorful, I am often visited by a vibrant array of familiar characters who are easily interchangeable with one another, dramatic landscapes, impossibly magnificent architectures, and mysteriously challenging scenarios. With dreams so action-packed and compelling, it's no wonder I love to sleep!I like to believe that our dreams are gifts....Filled with a deep wisdom that is far greater than our waking consciousness, dreams invite us to play in a bigger reality than the one we live in. Although sleep is a state of deep surrender, our subconscious minds can't help but show up creatively and create stories with images and emotions that are so unique and poetic we often can't transcribe them through language.Our dreams are not bound by the cognitive restrictions of our waking life.Communicating in a non-linear language, our dreams let us know how we really feel by allowing us to experience our deepest emotions more deeply as our authentic selves. Dreams can reveal answers to your most pressing questions, deliver messages from loved ones who have passed on, add clarity to confusing events, and reflect back your deepest fears and desires.Access the Wisdom of Your DreamsWith our societal emphasis on productivity and wealth, we don't usually put a lot of focus on dream wisdom. However, taking time to LISTEN to your dreams and allow them to unfold isn't exactly a waste of time. There are many cultures that still believe dreams hold the keys to our future and all that is possible.The more we honor, nurture and make space for them, the more likely we are to reveal the multiple meanings of our dreams and their layers of significance.On Today's Show...Uncover the Meaning of Your Dreams!If you've always felt that your dreams are part of something far greater than your own mind—and have been wanting to "break through"... you won't want to miss today's discussion! Dr. Renee Coleman, a certified Dream Tender Specialist, will be joining us today to show us how to navigate through our dreams to uncover our deepest inner wisdom.

The TRUTH will make you laugh... and set you on fire.I met Beth Lapides many moons ago. I was pre-motherhood, insecure and deeply obsessed with my acting career. She was the director of a spoken word comedy workshop in Hollywood, which was a fast-trending process for spotlight whores like me. The course was an exercise in both self-loathing and self-loving....if that is even possible. Over the years it has become a widely effective method for artists, writers, performers and comics to develop unique material based on their own painfully disastrous experiences.Therapeutic, revealing ...aaaaaaaand a bit narcissistic.I will never forget getting up on the stage to tell a pathetic and humiliating true encounter of how I was chased off of a poppy reservation by a man in uniform... over a misunderstanding... about where I was allowed--- and NOT ALLOWED --- to walk. What had me in tears only days earlier now had Beth (as well as my classmates) in stitches.One person's pain is another's entertainment.While giving me notes on my performance, Beth told me that she saw a clear theme perfectly threaded through all of my stories: "The Rules Don't Apply To Ally Loprete." The light bulb went off and it was the first time I began to view every one of my circumstances as a transcendence into my unapologetic truth.On Today's Show...Beth Lapides will be our guest today as we talk about how to embrace your humility and your humanity. Beth has mad skills at helping people shape their stories with a unique comedic perspective and use it to create success through meaningful memoirs.Storytelling is about CONNECTING.Today you will learn how to embrace your own message by sharing it with the world. Those who need your story will show up and learn from you... making YOU the wise and experienced one. A prepossessing and poignant portrait of YOUR relevance is a beautiful way to preserve your legacy for yourself and your children.
