Welcome back to the first episode of season two of WWRadio. Catch up on all episodes from season one here!

Today’s  WWRadio features  Christine Gutierrez, a psychotherapist, advice columnist, speaker, author, poet and founder of CosmicLife.com, an online hub that features psychologically-savvy and soulful advice, articles, videos, private consultations, workshops, retreats, radio appearances and television projects. Christine is also the founder of the non-profit Therapy is Cool, founded in Puerto Rico, where the mission is to empower, educate, and share resources with the marginalized youth and women in the Latino community. Known for breaking stigmas, Christine is taking therapy to the next level by fusing ancient wisdom with modern psychology.

She’s the perfect blend of spiritual and practical, and as a relationship expert, her insights in this conversation are rad. We get into her journey, her personal practices as well as advice on deepening your relationships with yourself and others. It has personally helped me tremendously in my life, so turn up the volume on this week’s conversation.

My favorite lines & nuggets of wisdom: YEP THEY’RE TWEETABLES…

“You will always have you, so might as well love yourself up as much as you can.”  –>CLICK TO TWEET!

“Relationships are there to help you love yourself deeper.” 

_“We will never be perfect, that’s why we’re in a body if we were we would be walking angels.” _ 

“Dance in the chaos of life.” 

TIP: One tip that Christine gave that really stuck out to me and I’ve been using is this: when you first wake up in the morning think of one thing you’re excited for that day and let it catapult you out of bed. It can be as simple as your tea or a hot shower or your outfit or an activity you have going that day. Let that be the first thing you focus on to get out of bed for. Think about what is is the night before.

As promised, here’s the audio of my Putting The HAPPY back into the Holiday Season Workshop. As I explain in the recording, this workshop is adapted from a rad live in-person workshop I gave at my local yoga studio. After promoting that workshop on my blog I received many requests from people all over to be able to participate via live stream. With that, I revamped the workshop and was set to livestream it Sunday night. In the most humbling way, major technical difficulties prevented it from happening (thank you again to all who were there waiting for me Sunday night).

During that sticky situation I felt sad, embarrassed, and grateful all at the same time, then instantly decided to practice what I was planning to preach that night & use it as an opportunity to pivot and Put The Happy Back Into The Situation. Throughout the week as I prepared this audio or  video, it became clear to me exactly why my Sunday evening debacle occurred. This workshop was never meant to be live. The content translates better into a pause-able, listen on-the-go, again and again, on your own time, in your own space type of platform and the one I love best: a podcast. Now you can take your time with this workshop, and go in deep to each of the meditations, exercises and tools included.

Now this audio recording has longevity and can be used to help all of us forever stay HAPPY & in Wonderland throughout any holiday.

I learned more than simply how to properly use YouTube Livestream – I discovered that when things don’t go your way, even if you’re positive that your plan is best, there’s a plan far greater than your own.

I hope you enjoy Putting The Happy Back Into The Holiday Season this year. And now that you have the tools, have a truly HAPPY holiday season.

Adore you all,

Today’s WWRadio features Daniel Vitalis, world-renowned health, nutrition, and personal development strategist & founder of the amazing company Surthrival. If you want to fully thrive turn up the volume on today’s podcast because Daniel Vitalis gives some  mind blowing paradigm shifts on water, food, and lifestyle. Daniel is an articulate speaker who will  blow your mind with information, but in such a loving, non-judgmental way so that wherever you are on your journey he speaks directly to you. He’s a trailblazer who has helped shape the face of natural health and wellness. Today many health advocates are either knowing or unknowingly sharing ideas that Daniel pioneered.

In this episode Daniel explains how to go beyond just trying to “survive”, and into how we can truly “thrive” in our modern society. The conversation discusses the importance of water, holiday thriving tips, his personal daily routines, pre-speaking rituals, importance of language, and how to get started with rewilding yourself or how to take your already healthy lifestyle to the next level.

“If you want more inner power you have to take responsibility.” @DVitalis via w/ #WWRadio with @katiedalebout

_“Once you take control of the food all over areas of your life start to fall into place.” _@DVitalis via w/ #WWRadio with @katiedalebout

_“Words are magic and when we speak it can be intoxicating or revolting depending on how we use our words.” _@DVitalis via w/ #WWRadio with @katiedalebout

_“What we want to avoid during the holiday season is creating awkwardness for people.”  _@DVitalis via w/ #WWRadio with @katiedalebout

TIP: When eating at holiday feasts, try a little bit of each food and really enjoy and taste it by slowing way down. If you slow down you will have a better experience by actually tasting your food, but also eat less because when everyone else is on their second or third plate you will still be on your first.

Today’s episode of WWRadio features our guest the holistic Dr. Joel Kahn. A Detroit native, Dr. Kahn is a nationally known speaker and author of the forthcoming book, The Holistic Heart Book. He is a leader in not only the local, but the national wellness community. His work includes transforming the food within the healthcare system, starting with hospitals to reflect foods that will actually aid patients in their healing rather than hinder it.

He firmly believes in the concept of “prevent not stint” and practices preventative medicine with his practice and to all that he teaches. Dr. Kahn is an Interpreventional Cardiologist – meaning he treats his patients with a blend of traditional cardiology (AKA stents) as well as preventive cardiology (AKA diet and exercise and meditation.) It’s this rare blend that makes Dr. Kahn super cool. You’ll love this conversation where we cover everything from diet to exercise to gluten to his personal routines and advice for getting started on a healthy plant-based lifestyle. He’s super down to earth so you’ll love our candid, lighthearted conversation.

Today’s episode of  WWRadio is super rad! There’s not just one guest – today we’ve got a crew. I’m super excited to have the masterminds behind my favorite local company DROUGHT here talking about everything from positive thinking, health, juicing and entrepreneurship. Their story is remarkable and their passion for their business is contagious. My favorite thing about their company and brand is that they won’t ever compromise their ingredients, standards or integrity for anything. You’ll hear **all-about-it **(listen to the episode to know why this is bold), but just to give you an idea about how cool they are, here’s a little bit about them:

DROUGHT is a subculture of healthful living created by five sisters who are masters of extracting abundance from simplicity. The idea evolved from a collective longing for accessible, fresh raw juice — the need for a permanent oasis to rehydrate and revitalize. DROUGHT’s mission is to help others find treasure in the ordinary.

How cool, right?  I can’t wait for you to meet them, so click the link below and have fun listening to our fun conversation.

Today’s episode of  WWRadio is especially rad because our guest is Alexis Wolfer: TV personality, author, and founder/editor-in-chief of The Beauty Bean, an online women’s magazine and e-mail newsletter that gives readers a unique perspective on all things beauty, health and wellness. Forbes Magazine named TheBeautyBean.com one of the Top 10 Women’s Lifestyle Websites & Alexis has  become a well-known beauty, fashion and lifestyle expert (as seen on the Today Show, E!, The Doctors, NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX as well as in print outlets from WWD to AOL, CNN.com to Oprah.com, Teen Vogue to Star Magazine, Access Hollywood, and more.) This inspirational young female entrepreneur and I chat everything from business to beauty to body image to food in this relaxed fun conversation. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, listen and enjoy getting to know the woman behind The Beauty Bean. 

My favorite lines & nuggets of wisdom: YEP THEY’RE TWEETABLES…

“I think women are smart, I think we are innately beautiful and that we can create media that’s based on those premises and build women up from there.” @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“I still have days where I wake up and feel fat & gross, but I stop myself & know where that’s coming from & not to act on it & there’s people I can turn to.”   @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“Being honest with yourself helps you have clarity and move forward in a really positive way.”  @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“Every article on the site is really about empowering women to feel beautiful, regardless of what that looks like for you.”  @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“We need to know we have an inner voice in order to listen to it and no that it’s okay if sometimes you don’t and that’s okay too.”  @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“Women need to love themselves the way they wake up in the morning and not feel like that have to do anything.” @alexiswolfler via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

Tip: To stay in a healthy body image mindset & keep old disordered eating thoughts from coming up, Alexis never weighs herself ever…not even in a doctor’s office and reminds herself that her weight is not her worth.

Beauty Tips: Always keep plain-full-fat organic greek yogurt in the fridge for a face mask or spot treat of blemishes. The lactic acid is really great for breaking down dull skin cells and the probiotics will help breakouts. The cold will help reduce inflammation and calm redness. Put on a medium layer and let sit on your face for about 30 minutes and remove with water or a washcloth. Great to do once a week.

Use extra-virgin coconut oil to take off your eye make-up without irritating your eyes.

Super excited because today on the  WWRadio our guest is Nitika Chopra, talk show host and founder/editor-in-chief of YourBellaLife, an online lifestyle magazine founded in 2009. Nitika believes that love and happiness are possible in every moment of life and is dedicated to helping others stay in that mindset.

Nitika encourages her readers to actively participate in the online conversation and to overcome life’s challenges to lead a vibrant life bursting with color.

My favorite lines & nuggets of wisdom: YEP THEY’RE TWEETABLES…

“Surround yourself with the people that are in the vibration that you want to be in.”   @YourBellaLife via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“Your form of meditation should reflect you.”  @YourBellaLife via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

TIPS: For following your passion and making your passion your career, put yourself out there and connect with people who are doing what you want to be doing from a very genuine place. People will remember that as you grow in your career and those relationships will go with your where ever you want to go. Network like you are doing the job you want to be doing.  Spend time with people who are doing the things you would love to be doing and don’t ask them for anything. Become actual friends with them instead of being pushy let it be excited to be part of your life. Figure out what you have to give, rather than what you have to get.

Today in Wonderland I have not one great guest but two on the  WWRadio. Today I’m talking to Joey & Persia, the British duo behind Addictive Daughter. They are doing incredible things across the pond and providing sexy, savvy self help and changing the stigma attached to it.  They are so sweet and inspiring – check out their intro video below and listen to our organic, authentic, inspirational and fun conversation.

My favorite lines & nuggets of wisdom: YEP THEY’RE TWEETABLES…

“Now when there’s a problem. we confront it instead of ignoring.”  @AddictiveDau via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“We want to make self-help cool and accessible.”  @AddictiveDau via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“How can I have fun every day without negative consequences.”  @AddictiveDau via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

TIPS: Every morning a simple question to ask yourself is, instead of what can I get today, but rather how can I give today. Before a meeting send your positive thoughts and intentions to everyone in the room. Remind yourself everyday what you can give.

Today in Wonderland I have the honor of sharing my  WWRadio conversation with the amazing Jessica Ortner. Jessica is a producer of the documentary film on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, AKA tapping), “ The Tapping Solution,” and her first book will be published by Hay House  in 2014.  She is one of the most authentic people I’ve ever spoken with and her genuine kindness shine through this entire podcast. I’m so excited for you to hear all the grounded wisdom she gives me and practical advice on everything from emotional eating, listening to people, and productivity. I really think the world of her & I know you will adore Jessica as much as I do after listening.

WARNING: Things get REAL real at the end when I get super authentic and Jessica leads me through a real time tap. So be sure to stick around to the end of the Podcast so you can hear how tapping is done and how honest, real, and specific you need to be to get the most benefit from it.

My favorite lines & nuggets of wisdom: YEP THEY’RE TWEETABLES…

“When I first started running, sometimes I’d walk and I didn’t judge myself. I was getting out there and moving my body, that’s what mattered”  @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“With exercise be willing to allow yourself to get to certain points, if you’re not enjoying it you won’t do it.”  @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“We don’t just feel emotions in our brain, we feel them in our bodies. “ @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“Tapping is a communication between our bodies and our minds.”  @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“You can’t figure out the answers until you start, you have to get off the bench and play the game.”  @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“be flexible because the solution will appear when you start going down the path.”   @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

“If you’re waiting to never be scared to take action you’re never going to get anywhere because part of growing is getting out of your comfort zone.”  @JessicaOrtner via #WWRadio w/  @katiedalebout

TIPS: Use a kitchen timer to help keep yourself on task and make sure you don’t burn out. When writing her book or doing something creative, Jessica suggested working for 1 hour and then when that’s over she’d make herself stop even if she was on a roll, so she didn’t burn out. & using this app helps too!

In Business, be okay with putting things out that aren’t perfect and making mistakes. And in the moment be flexible with changing things that don’t work.
