Positive Vibes

My guest today is the very inspirational Heather Choate. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2014 while pregnant with her sixth child, spurring her to write about her incredible journey in her memoir, Fighting for Our Lives. Writing is her escape from diaper changes and runny noses, but motherhood is the greatest journey and joy of her life. Today most of her time is spent homeschooling her six children while trying to squeeze in spurts of writing when she can. She enjoys daydreaming of worlds and people that don’t actually exist but reflect the beauty and complicity of humanity. Her novels, Swab and Frayed Crossing are #1 bestsellers and her latest series, the Jonas Flash Chronicles, is warming hearts and minds across the globe.

I know you will find her as inspirational as I do.

As always, thank you for listening!

My guest today is Bonnie Sheldon. Bonnie created Spirituality Fountain having lived a profoundly disabled life for many years, growing in the knowledge that Love is the bond between us all, our common Oneness, shining and connecting to the harmonic tapestry of the Universe. On the Spirituality Fountain Facebook page you will find Inspiration and Information about how to find and share that Love, and the Life of Joy that it brings, overcoming our wounds and pain by discovering our 'inner self,' our spiritual identity.

I know you will enjoy listening to and learning from Bonnie Sheldon.

My guest today is my friend and fellow author Kristine Marie Naef.  Today we'll be talking about the new book we're both co-authors of "Beyond the Loss, Breaking the Stigma of Depression and Suicide" as well as a bit about our personal stories battling depression, illness and much, much more.

While this doesn't seem like my usual positive topic, I assure you it is.  The more open and honest conversations we have about depression, suicide and other mental illnesses the brighter and more positive our society as a whole will become.  For too long people have felt ashamed to admit they were having dark thoughts and needed help.  It is my hope this show and this upcoming book will start some conversations to let people it's OK to need help and it's OK to openly grieve the loss of a loved one who committed suicide.

As always thanks so much for listening!

My guest today is Susan Harlow Schott.  In full disclosure she is one of the best friends I've ever had. On her facebook page she says she's an emotional romantic who loves all things nature; the ocean, mountains, forests, lakes, animals. She has loved to sing and make those around her happy her entire life.  I can vouch for that.  Like many of us she's also struggled with depression and has lost a loved one to suicide.  Susan is one of the co-authors of "Beyond the Loss, Removing the Stigma of Depression and Suicide" due to be released October 29th.

You will truly enjoy this show!

As always, thank you so much for listening!

My guest today is Katina Love, a Spiritual Wellness Coach who works with women who have the desire to improve their health and well-being and want guidance on how to begin.

 

Katina is different from other Wellness Coaches because she take a spiritual approach to my coaching where the focus is on Mind, Body & Spirit to address overall health. She teaches women how to shift their mind-set so they look at wellness differently; how to connect with their inner-being so they have more self-love, think more positively, balance their emotions and make better choices concerning their diet.Katina also teaches how affirmations play a key role in wellness!

 

If we desire healthier, happier, balanced & more fulfilled lives, it begins within.
