My guest Petra Sojka suffered unimaginable cruelty at 16 years old when she was kidnapped while waiting at a bus stop in the Czech Republic. She was taken into the vile underworld that is the sex trade industry. Moving forward after being violated in such a horrific way is not an easy thing to do. For all victims of rape and abuse, recovery and healing is often a life long process. I am so very proud of Petra and where Read More
So next week I am off to NATPE! One of the best conferences I have ever attended. Where the big TV networks are doing business on private yachts, in cabanas by the pool and in $500,000 suites. I love networking, so I thought now would be a good time to share some tips as I prepare for the conference A.K.A. networking extravaganza. Attending a conference last year with a colleague was a first for me as I usually tend to Read More
Before this interview there was so much I didn’t know. THIS SHOCKS ME – There are more slaves in the early 21st century than at any previous time, but opponents hope slavery can be eradicated within 30 years. I stumbled upon a USA Today article (June ’12) while I was doing some research on human trafficking before my interview with guest, Petra Sojka. In it, ‘Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton decried the enslavement of up to 27 million people Read More
My guest Petra Sojka suffered unimaginable cruelty at 16 years old when she was kidnapped while waiting at a bus stop in the Czech Republic. She was taken into the vile underworld that is the sex trade industry. There are more people in slavery today than any other time in history. Estimates are that as many 27 million people are enslaved. This is a topic that need our attention and we need to be having conversations around. Get her full Read More
A milestone goal I achieved recently was doing some red carpet celebrity interviews here in L.A. I had the pleasure of interviewing Marcia Cross, Stedman Graham, Gloria Allred, Dr. John Gray (Men are from Mars Women are from Venus Author) and many more. I can’t wait to share them with you. Click here to see the photos. Whenever I have a milestone moment there is new learnings and growth. The biggest new awareness for me was ‘BE YOU’. In previous Read More
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UTGpAZv13E[/youtube] Until Dr. Caroline Leaf explained it to me, I had no idea that negative thoughts we the cause of most current physical illnesses today. Crazy. She said, “75% to 98% of current physical illnesses today (cancer, depression, etc) are coming from our [negative] thought.” Is that scary or empowering to you? Leave your comments below. I’m curious to hear how you feel about it. For me, it’s a little of both, but I find it a little more encouraging Read More
I found this research incredible! Dr. Leaf said, “… 75% to 98% of current physical illnesses today (cancer, depression, etc.) are coming from our [negative] thought.” Is that an incentive to rein in our thoughts or what?! I also love how she said “Bring your thoughts into captivity.” Do your thoughts run wild like mine and need to be reined in? Since 1981, Dr. Caroline Leaf has researched the human brain with particular emphasis on unlocking its vast, untapped potential. Read More
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyfLNng_QEs[/youtube] It’s pretty remarkable how just knowing you’re not alone can help you turn the corner to overcoming sadness or strife! You are not alone. That’s a common sentence, but when we’re in the middle of something tough and difficult to talk about, we can forget. That’s why it’s important that we share our stories of trial and those of triumph too. You never know who you could be helping to heal. This week we discussed how someone can Read More
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCGKiMBZXjA[/youtube] This week we discussed how someone can move forward in life after being in prison and how we as society can assist. As I learned through interviewing DJ Verrett, not everyone in prison is a bad person. They may have just made some really bad choices that took them down the wrong path. Don’t we all know someone who has made bad choices and gone down the wrong path? Have you done something that could have had lasting repercussions Read More
I once read, ‘10 minutes of exercise is not enough to loose weight, but it is enough to elevate your mood.’ So when I am pressed for time and stressed, I remind myself just to go for a brisk walk or park the car further away from an appointment. That should do the trick. Where do u find 10 minutes in your day ? Play with the kids, park 10 minutes away from your appointment or go for a 5 Read More
