Today on Full Body Frequency we celebrate the mother have, the mother you lost, the mother village in your life, and the mother in you.

It’s no secret that mothers are our first teachers and our first examples and experiences of unconditional love.

Katara Washington Patton, author of "Successful Moms of the Bible," is here to share how you don’t need to master the latest parenting trends because the best parenting advice has already been written; is in the "Bible!"

Whether you’re a first-time mother with a newborn; have school-aged children or teens; are an emptynester, or are a mother figure, the heartwarming and hilarious “Success Mothers of the Bible” is for you!

Katara has written and edited Christian books for children, teens, and adults and created supplemental materials for books by T.D. Jakes, Beth Moore and Joyce Meyer. She served as general editor and writer of "Aspire: The New Women of Color Study Bible." She holds a M.Div. from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

We’ll also revisit our interview with Linda R M Jones. Growing up Linda’s mother would often say to her, “Beauty is as beauty does and you’ve got a long way to go.” In her book, Cordelia and Me: The Pains, Challenges, and Journey of Becoming Me, Jones explores the revelation of self-discovery, self-love, and the love of others in spite of childhood wounds and abuse.

And, for those of you mourning the loss of mothers, we’ll explore redefining Mother’s Day with “Black Women and Mother Loss: 5 Steps for Getting through Mother's Day” by Liz Alexander via "For Harriet."

Houston-based, health care professional Tandiwe Kone has embarked on a second career as a comedienne. The process of divorcing has laid an inspirational foundation for her comedic stylings and informs her trepidation about getting back in the dating game. Tandiwe will be here to share this, dating Luke Cage, cheese, and more.

I also speak to Shannon Svingen-Jones the founder, editor-in-chief, and publisher of FabUplus Magazine. She talks about her how, despite being fit and fat, she considered weight loss surgery. But instead of surgery, she launched FabUplus magazine which is a beacon of light for plus size and curvy women at the beginning of their fitness journeys and for those who are full-fledged athletes. FabUplus’s mission: "...to be the leading media landscape that celebrates, health, fitness and lifestyle for the curvy community." We talk: FabUplus's exciting first year, its upcoming spring 2017 issue featuring fashion designer Ashley Nell Tipton, and how to live your best life at any size!

As we go full throttle into the balance of the holiday season, I am beyond thrilled to share the mic with this week’s guest. He is the one and only Brian Duncan of Down To Earth Wine Concepts, https://www.facebook.com/downtoearth.5205/.

In addition to being an internationally renowned sommelier and tastemaker, Brian Duncan is a motivational speaker, business culture consultant & coach. He is also a former co-owner and the wine director, of Bin36. Bin36 is the restaurant that literally transformed the way Americans experience fine dining and wine.
