    You've got the right degrees, from the right schools. You've got a great resume and a glowing LinkedIN profile. You're in the right networks, with an impressive group of influential friends, colleagues, role models and mentors. You have the right look and wardrobe, a tight body, and talk the right talk. You've read all the right books, and attended the right webinars, seminars, online trainings and conferences. You've even found the right church and prayed the right prayers.
    So, why is your success and happiness always just out of reach or constantly undermined and threatened? And why are your romantic relationships either dissatisfying or non-existent? The answer is simple: You've been sabotaged! Today on Grown Zone Radio, we'll explain how, by whom and what you need to do about it.
    You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can lay the foundation for success in love and life.

  • How To Stay Out Of Relationship Wrecks
    This edition of Grown Zone Radio poses the question: Supposed we approached driving a car the way we are taught to operate in our love lives? Don't bother reading and studying the manual. Rules of the road? What rules? And who needs practice and instruction—just jump in the car and go!
    Well, the truth is, we don't have to wonder, because most of us approach relationships as if we're just born knowing how to love safely—and as a result we are a danger to ourselves and others, including our passengers (including our children) and anyone we encounter along the way. Today on Grown Zone Radio, we're bringing it to you straight, no chaser, to tell you what it takes to to stay out of relationship wrecks!

  • How To Know A Person Will Cheat—And The Only Reason To Believe He or She Won't
    It happens to thousands of people every day—becoming a victim of infidelity. Discovering that you've been cheated on often comes with devastating consequences, ranging from depression and diminished self-esteem, to rage and retaliation—including "revenge cheating" and other acts of abuse and violence (not to mention divorce and broken families).. However, despite conventional wisdom, infidelity is never an accident and should never be a surprise. Infidelity is a choice, not a mistake, and it's absolutely possible to recognize the red flags before becoming a victim. On this week's show, we're sharing unmistakable signs that a person will cheat on you if given the opportunity, along with the only reason to trust that a person will never practice infidelity under any circumstances.
    You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can literally be a matter of life and death for you and those you care for, especially children. Learn how to recognize the potential for a person to practice infidelity when it counts—before you put your body, money, home and heart at risk!

  • True Love Never Kills: Lifesaving Lessons of True Crime TV
    Snapped. Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry? Wives With Knives. Handsome Devils. Fatal Attraction. These are some of best known of the many dramatized true crime television shows found all over television today, most prominently on the Investigation Discovery Channel. Our Host Zara Green repeatedly urges the Grown Zone Nation to watch these shows, not merely for the sensationalized content, but because of their educational value. These shows graphically illustrate what happens when you make choices you have the absolute adult right to make (likely enthusiastically endorsed by those around you), but are not only messy, but deadly. On this week's show, we're sharing three of the lifesaving lessons you can learn by watching true crime television.
    You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can literally be a matter of life and death for you and those you care for, especially children. After this week's show, you'll agree that true-crime cable programming like Investigation Discovery really is educational television!

  • Fools Rush In: The Dangerous Mirage of Love At First Sight
    A desert oasis and love at first sight have at least two things in common: both attract people who are desperate and dying of thirst (for water and love, respectively), and both nearly always turn out to be dangerous mirages. Also, in both cases, fools rush in—in the case of dating and romance, bypassing healthy relationships for the tantalizing short-cut of instant attraction that signals so-called love at first sight. This week's Grown Zone Radio Show will show why believing the mirage of "love at first sight" is not only an unhealthy distraction, but can also put your body, money, home and heart in real danger. 
    You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why it's important to recognize the difference between instant attraction and "love at sight," why it's impossible to instantly know someone, and therefore impossible to love or be loved by them. Don't be distracted from the healthy, loving relationships we all desire and deserve, by illusions of love that can only lead to disappointment, danger and disaster!

  • 3 Signs That You'll Make Horrible Financial Choices In Relationships
    Chances are, you are a nice, decent person who wants what most people do: a healthy, safe and loving relationship, with some you can trust, who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. However, if your finances remain a wreck regardless of your relationship status, your approach to love may be the biggest threat to both your financial security and emotional stability. When you continue to make poor money choices even when you know better, the problem is no longer a lack of financial literacy, but of self-love and personal growth. You--and likely others you know and care about--MUST tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn how to recognize the unhealthy beliefs that lead to horrible financial choices in love and relationships!

  • The Threat To Your Career, Business and Finances Nobody Talks About
    A volatile stock market. A bad sales quarter. A job lay-off. These are among the things people worry about when it comes to threats to their career, business and financial success. However, there is an even bigger threat than all of these, one that is rarely, if ever, addressed: adult-and-messy choices and unhealthy relationships. The truth, as Alfred has observed during more than three decades as a business and financial journalist: Most great careers, business and fortunes are destroyed (or never happen) due to destructive personal choices and relationships. Such things as infidelity, unplanned pregancies, bad marriages and other personal drama have business and financial consequences, not just personal and emotional ones. If you are serious about advancing in your career, growing a profitable business and building wealth (and especially if you already have), you MUST tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio.
