Loss and grief are universal.  Working through is individual.  

There's never been a generation who have skirted the pain of loss. How do you deal with it? For some the answer is to remove themselves from everything so as to just 'be'. For other, they know they need to be around others. It's no secret that there are damaging coping mechanisms, and they can send us down into a pit. Christopher Booth had found himself in a dark place after the loss of his mother. He gradually recognized the power of music, not erase, but to manage the pain. That's what this conversation is about.  

If you'd like to learn more about how he's helping others through all manner of emotional discomfort here's where you can find him:

And by the way, the lead out of this episode gives you a sample of his work.

Amanda applies that principle of looking within to money, but man, isn't that the truth in so many areas?  Amanda is only the second person I've met who's built a business around removing money blocks.  What are we talking about here? What are money blocks? Do we have control over the income we receive or is it merely - "Want more? Then work more"?

I've been doing work in this area for a little while now, and it's fascinating. I'd be interested in your feedback and insights.

Below are Amanda's links.

Everyone would like to be seen at peace.  For those who have struggled with eating disorders, or any disorder, this is quite an accomplishment. 

Bulimia. It's certainly not a new trend, but I'll be honest, until I met LaurieAnn I didn't realize it as a problem for women in midlife.  I know most of my listeners are women and for you this may be a very sensitive topic.  Please don't turn away.  Whether you have struggled with an eating disorder or not the dynamics that lead to this kind of behavior are so common.  

I really hope you enjoy this conversation.  I hope if you feel the need for support you reach out for it.  I hope, if you've never experienced this particular pain you'll offer your hand.

Deal with the lows, focus on the highs. Easy enough. 

Well, probably not.  But wouldn't it be nice if we could.

Self-care.  We hear about it, we talk about it, we extol its many virtues.  Few of us would tell our friends they shouldn't 'indulge' in rest, or a massage if they needed it. And yet, how often do we struggle with feeling okay to that for ourselves? It's a thing.

Lucy Weed has put herself in front of people, wanting to serve them. First, she worked at Prime Roast, right here in Keene, NH.  So it was an easy transition to carry that on in New Orleans. But over time she's recognized the damage the lack of self-care brings.  She wants to be seen as kind, for that to be her lasting legacy. 

Listen to how she is working along as a brand ambassador for  St Germaine Liquor as well as develop her own brand aimed at helping others take for themselves the time, the relaxation, the wellness they need.  This one applies to pretty much every woman I know.  Enjoy the conversation then reach our to our Keene native, Lucy Weed.

A big nod to Prime Roast Coffee - still serving the community with a smile.

Fight or flight. Are you free of its influence?  Does one have to endure an especially severe trauma for their body to be held in a fight or flight state? Think about it; Do you ever feel really relaxed? Have you ever paid attention to your body's state at moments of 'rest'?  I will say, after having this conversation with Amy I am far more aware of, sort of the status of my body: shoulders are tighter than I realized; my 'good posture' isn't really as good as I'd thought; my hips are tighter than I'd noticed before.  What is that about?

As someone aware of the need for exercise I wouldn't have thought I would learn as much as I did from this conversation. Listen and see if you come away with helpful insights.  If so, please share with them.  And if you'd like to watch our conversation, here's the link.

We've all had that friend who wouldn't ever tell us we looked ridiculous before we left the house. They're just too nice. 

Then there's the 'friend' who never has a good thing to say about how we look

A personal stylist.  

Imagine having someone help you shop.  I don't mean just go shopping with you. I mean help you find what you feel really great in. And she's really excited to see you feel great.  That's her job.  She loves it. Here's Jennifer's Facebook so you can have her go shopping with you. 

How do you want to be seen? Let me know.
