Just For Women

In this episode I take the liberty to share with you three very powerful keys that will support you in living a year filled with joy, success and abundance. These are keys that I adhere to, which serve me deeply, so I wanted to start 2009 by offering these jewels to you!The first key is Meditation. I cover a few, basic types of meditation to show that the process need not be elaborate, yet it is important to start. I cover how to meditate (posture and breath) and why meditation can be an important part of your successful, abundant life. The next key to an outrageously successful year is to create a Visualization Board – now! The power of the visualization board is that it acts like the most powerful magnet you can imagine, drawing to you all the dreams, desires, goals and accomplishments you wish to experience in the year to come. I give a few real-life examples of the amazing power these Vision Boards (collages) can have in a person’s life – myself included!I wrap up with some important points to remember about our needs. I have been noticing lately that if my needs are not getting met (by myself, my lover or others), it is extremely difficult to create a happy, thriving life. We must learn to identify and take charge of getting our needs met not only for ourselves, but for the ones we love and the legacy of love and joy we will leave our in our wake when our needs are being identified and fulfilled!

Reid Mihalko is one interesting man. Wow, I am so glad I got to interview such a dynamic and energetic Sex and Relationship coach in person! From moment one Reid's open hearted hello signals his approach to life - EMBRACE IT! Which also applies to his business - Cuddle Parties! The creator of one of the fastest growing trends today, Cuddle Parties are sweeping the nation as people let down their guards and open to the power of a good old fashioned snuggle. A non-sexual approach to having people get to know one another, these parties are teaching people a lot more than how to hug.Reid says people (especially women) learn to :- communicate yes and NO- the fine art of negotiation- maintaining boundaries with loveAnd what is the one empowering idea Reid wants to leave women with?"If it's a maybe - say no."Tune in for the full story with this lively and informative interview with the nation's up and coming authority on Sex and Relationships, Reid Mihalko! We talk about the fine art of negotiation - how to negotiate with men in relationships we are already in and how to negotiate with someone you are just meeting for the first time. Reid defines negotiation as co-creating the intention for the relationship that both partners bring to the table. He tells women to please take the lead in going for what you want - leave him notes, do what it takes so he can win - give him a road map! And don't be in relationship to heal men - move on!Really, don't miss his insight on what is happening between men and women today and why we struggle to understand each other ~ especially how to communicate our wants, needs and desires to men: It's ok to be direct!

In this interview, I delight in having Decker Cunov, founder of Authentic World, return to Just for Women to give us his deep insight into the world of men, as only a pioneer in the current "men's movement" can.Decker offers us a peek into the psyche of how men think so we as women, can really start to understand the inner world of the masculine. We start with an inquiry into a series of questions aimed at answering questions such as: "What is going with men who...are afraid to commit, have an addiction to pornography" and so on. Never one to beat around the bush, Decker shares with us that men (more so now than ever) need emotional support, trust, acknowledgment and appreciation in their lives from their women - especially if they are going through some kind of career or financial transition. He makes clear the power we have as women to be a grounding, supportive force in our lives and in our relationships by offering our truth without judgment. He clues us in on the underpinnings of what is going on with men who have issues such as porn addiction, men racing to commit and men running from commitment. His message is clear to women, to claim responsibility without blame and do the inner work we need to hold space for whatever comes up in our relationships - and in our lives as well. Tune in today and catch his juicy rift on the benefits of practicing Tantric breathing practices!

I love when men want to share their insights with us on how to be a Modern Goddess. This is a very touchy subject for me and I maybe you too, so I take care to pick authors and experts whose hearts I can feel while they are delivering their content to us. I like Dr. Alex Benzer, with a BA from Harvard and a MD from UC San Diego, he has probably spent more time getting an education than he has spent doing anything else so I really wanted to hear what he has to us.What I get is this: The whole world is changing rapidly. With the economy the way it is, now more than ever we need to practice mental clarity and stay focused on what we want versus what we don't have or don't want. This skill completely translates into intimate relationships.Dr. Alex talks to us about his new book, The Tao of Dating for Women, The Smart Woman's Guide to Embracing your Inner Goddess and Finding the Fulfillment you Deserve. We hear about "Bad Boys" and what we can expect from their behavior which might look like romance, spontaneity and love on the outside but could really be an indicator of serious trouble ahead. We talk a lot about busting up fantasies about how life or our lovers should be. We discuss characteristics of the Modern Goddess and why men are aching for this type of woman in their lives. Of course it wouldn't be a complete show if we didn't talk about sex, so Dr. Alex tells us what men's secret fears about sex are, as well as the importance of our own sexual know how in the bedroom. Tune in and turn on your awareness!

Have you ever wanted a guy friend with whom you could ask any question about men? You know, to get the REAL inside scoop on what is happening IN the minds of men? Well, this week I interview one of the men in MY life whom I turn to when I have questions, concerns and issues with men that I just DO NOT understand.Meet Garrison Cohen, Co-Founder of The Authentic Man Program Media. Garrison has been studying man/woman dynamics for quite a while and has a vested interest in sharing with people how to have thriving relationships. What I love about this episode is Garrison's ability to convey what is going on with who men REALLY and what they REALLY want in a way that is easy for us to visualize and understand.Tune in to hear about how to open a man and have him express his emotions (what?!), why a woman's radiance is like Oxygen to men, how to set boundaries with appreciation, and how to "speak the moment."One of the great pieces Garrison offered is that when women are in transition in their lives (to a better job, making more money, getting fit, etc.) he would rather see the action than hear a lot about it. "Show me" he tells us. I loved that because that idea can be applied anywhere in our lives - and the message is clear - ladies - take the reigns, it is much more empowering for all of us!

It is ever so refreshing to interview an empowered woman like Kathy Caprino, MA who is not afraid to talk about energy work, meditation and “going within” to find answers. In this interview we discuss some of the “12 Hidden Crises of Professional Women” outlined in her new book Breakdown, Breakthrough as well as how we can identify and heal them. It seems more and more we are no longer looking outside of ourselves for important information to the burning questions we have in our hearts, and this interview continues to usher in this shift in how women are growing in love, self care, self reliance and using our own internal guidance systems to live our most authentic life in this somewhat challenging day and age. A must listen to for ANY woman facing difficult times right now – there is a way out and up! Tune in and bring your support sisters!

This month we are focused on Getting Married!Dr. Michelle Gannon gives us important guidelines to pay attention to as we explore what it really takes to get ready for marriage. We hear about the Four Stages of Relationship Erosion (criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and defensiveness) and how you can remedy the situation if you find yourself there.We talk about the Five Love Languages and the importance of paying attention to loving your partner in the way they want to be loved. The Five Love Languages are Words of Appreciation, Gifts, Acts of Service, Physical Touch or Quality Time. My personal favorites are gifts and physical touch!We end with the Power of Forgiveness as a critical piece to healing the past and moving on to create the magical marriage you know is possible! Michelle leaves us with her mantra: "A Strong Me feeds a Strong We" as well as her recommendation to keep a gratitude journal to keep reminding yourself of the beauty and abundance in your life. Enjoy!

Satyen Raja is a force of love you definitely want to tap into! He speaks boldly and passionately to all of us who sometimes struggle with fully embodying our feminine essence and power. In this interview Satyen directs most, if not ALL of his attention and information into the hearts of women to help awaken in us the power we possess to light up our relationships and the world in general!Satyen asks us to build a special, small but sensual alter dedicated to honoring not only the "divine feminine" in us but also to the "divine masculine" inside the man in our lives or the man we seek to be in relationship with. A true inspiration to engage with Satyen talks about anger in both men and women, why it is there (usually) and how to free it up. He describes for us the three levels of relating - Prison, Parole and Paradise and how to move from one to the next. He mentions that women grow through PRAISE and men grow through CHALLENGE - that is one to keep in mind when we desire for something to shift in our relating with the opposite sex!

Sheryl Paul, M.A. is a pioneer in talking about what few in our society will even touch - the Death that comes with getting married. In her MUST READ book, The Conscious Bride, Sheryl takes our hand and takes us on a tour of all the frightening feelings, emotions and situations that mostly likely will surface as we prepare to shed our Single Woman shell and enter into the world of "wife."We talk about the grieving process that needs to happen and what happens if it doesn't - a little discussed phenomenon called "post-bridal depression" that grips many women who do not "do their work" during the engagement period. Sheryl helps us understand the normalcy and importance of feeling the anger, fear, doubt, loss and isolation - all NORMAL and healthy feelings - that naturally arise during the wedding planning process.In this interview we learn about the 3 phases of transition: Separation, In Between Zone, and Rebirth/New Beginning. Sheryl shows us quite clearly what happens if we do not honor each phase fully and what to do if we find ourselves unhappily stuck in any part of the transition process.We talk about what men are going through during the engagement process and the conditioning women have to deal with that men do not. We end with Sheryl recommending a powerful exercise that supports the bride-to-be in fully releasing her past in order to face her new future as a conscious, empowered wife.This is a DO NOT MISS interview for any woman planning a wedding or anyone who knows a woman planning her wedding!
