Lauri's Lemonade Stand

One Marathon in 1967 set Kathrine Switzer on the path that would direct the rest of her life.  The first woman to enter and compete in the Boston Marathon was quite literally attacked by a race official who tried to pull off her bib number while she was running and who later had her disqualified.  She then became an advocate for all women athletes when in 1972 women were allowed into the Boston Marathon and later the marathon for women was added to the Olympic Event Calendar in 1984.  Come on in and listen to this short interview with Kathrine Switzer (She is a busy lady and we are so honored to have her here!) and learn how you too can be FEARLESS!

Gray IS The New Blonde!  While you can find this as Victoria Marie’s new website and all of her social media AND in t-shirt/tank-top/hoodie form - the most exciting part of this is the “Gray is the New Blonde” documentary coming out this March!  More and more women are embracing their gray or celebrating their silver (whichever resonates more with you) and while not all women are taking this track (you do you), Victoria is here to support and empower those who are ready to make that transition.  This documentary has been several years in the making supported by friends old and new, along with the literal blood, sweat, and tears needed to make such a historic film.  I’ve made the switch to gray and love it!  Will you?  Listen in and tell me what you think!  #GrayIsTheNewBlonde

Homeopathy may have been established in the early 1800’s, but it is still a mystery to many.  Today’s guest is a Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine, Nancy Sacks, whom I’ve had the privilege to not only interview, but to see her as her patient.  I believe in holistic healing and homeopathy is truly a holistic approach to helping your body heal from whatever is ailing it - and I’m not just talking about physical ailments, but perhaps emotional, spiritual, and certainly therapeutic ways.  Nancy brings an extensive knowledge of healing, a history of her own healing journey, and culminates this into a “safe holistic haven” for any who are in search of a comfortable, safe space, real life approach to healing themselves.  Nancy is fun, down to earth, and if you never really wrapped your head around how homeopathy can help?  This is the podcast for you!

“Love isn’t something you find, it’s something you create.” The author of The Cosmology of Love: 70+ Ways to Experience Greater Love, Laura Smith Biswas shares the “5 Ways of Loving” to best communicate and receive love in our closest relationships.  I was surprised to learn what 1 of the 5 I was, and was then a bit mystified on nailing down how my husband who is my best friend and lover on what his way of receiving love might be.  I thought I was an expert after a decade of marriage!  This only goes to show you that we all have something to learn and room to grow in the beautiful arena of love.  Laura shares her own “sucking lemons” moments and how she found the sugar she needed to make “sweet lemonade” which culminated in her book and now a beautiful partnership at thelovemandala.com with workshops on love.  I know you are going to LOVE (pun intended) today’s podcast interview!

“The Unsexy Ways You Talk Dirty to Yourself” - Yep, that pretty much sums up negative self-talk, doesn’t it?  There is nothing sexy about self-criticism and today’s guest, Stephanie Miller, author of Confessions of a Failed Perfectionist: How to Get Over Self-Hate, Self-Sabotage and Feeling Like a Failure, a handbook to help those struggling with addiction and eating disorders, was a pleasant surprise of positivity.  Since Stephanie LOVES surprises as a way of being shown love, I’m sure she will appreciate the use of the term.  This episode covers shame, body-shame, and of course a healthy dose of self-love that guess what?  CAN BE LEARNED!  Wait until you get to Stephanie’s favorite quote at the end and just try not to be inspired to try your own healthy dose of self-love starting today!  Enjoy this beautiful episode and look forward to her business partner, Laura Biswas next week!

Slow Travel.  Location Independent Business.  Living Life on Your Terms - even if those terms mean selling everything you own (or giving it away) and going on the road for 18 months with only what can fit in your Honda CRV.  These are all things I was curious about when I learned about Kala Philo.  She is a heroine in her own right that had the courage to go out on her own, envision a life outside of what we would consider the “norm” (What’s normal, anyway??) and create this beautiful life of slow travel, a location independent business, a minimalist lifestyle - only to find complete satisfaction and the love her life along her sweet journey.  Come learn all about Kala in this podcast interview and see if this type of lifestyle might be your next grand adventure!
