And now in her 60's how she coaches visionary women 50+ to find their voice in a life and work they love.

Leora was born in Israel as a child of holocaust survivors. She learned from her parents the true meaning of resilience and how to travel through life with courage and boldness. From early on she was an advocate for people. She began her career in law, working at the Philadelphia DA's office in the domestic violence unit. But after the birth of her second child, she decided to leave her law career and become an exclusive Matchmaker long before the online world offered their version of how to find true love. Today her business is still thriving because of her ability to get to know her clients and offer matches based on intuition, analysis, and her own brand of magic. 
In the conversation, you will learn much about Leora's journey and much about how to manifest successful, happy relationships.

It's not easy to begin a life with the deck stacked against you. Born into a home where your parents weren't really willing or able to be parents. Amongst drugs and dysfunction, the kids just kept appearing. and as the oldest of 4 girls, most all the parental responsibility fell to Clody from a very early age. And at 14 years, she really had had more of life than she could handle. Her story is one of personal responsibility and discovery that is almost unbelievable.

We also touch on the "different levels of listening", "learning from disease", the "have more fun image bank" and, of course, how gut bacteria affect the way we think.

We can all learn a lot from Barbara's example. She shares unbridled enthusiasm and stories of her unique life and accomplishments. She moved to California in her 20's and found this was the place she was meant to be. as she says-- "her place and her people". We talk about her current work with "Conscious Dance" where she teaches how to get in touch with their emotions using the body as the messenger; therapy without words. And her experiences in India as a photo journalist and her experience in Hospice care where she trained doctors on how to administer end of life care in a holistic and personal way. I think your perspective will be greatly expanded as you listen to Barbara's story. Enjoy the show.
