Please join us and our guest, Florence Ann Romano, for a show on her book, Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life. Everyone has heard the phrase, “It takes a village,” but how exactly do we find our village? Who is in it and what does it look like? You may realize that even if you have a calendar filled with social plans, you still might not have your “village.” Florence answers these questions and more, helping you to build lasting relationships with those in your life, dispel isolation, and improve your overall happiness and health. She’ll discuss the importance of a village at every stage of life—a support system for our physical, mental, and emotional health.  Your village is waiting. Now it’s time to go and find it.

Florence is a personal growth strategist, author, philanthropist, and businesswoman with a sparkling personality.

Please join us and our guest, Dr. Friedemann Schaub, for a show on The Empowerment Solution: Six Keys to Unlocking Your Full Potential with the Subconscious Mind. When you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, just keeping your emotions in check seems like a full-time job. Yet, what may hold you back in life even more are your survival patterns.

In this step-by-step guide, Dr. Schaub explores how to break free from the six most common survival patterns—the victim, the invisible, the procrastinator, the chameleon, the helper, and the lover—by engaging the part of the mind that created them in the first place: the subconscious. Providing research-backed insights and brain-rewiring methods based on his 20 years’ experience, Dr. Friedemann details how, through activating the healing power of the subconscious, you can throw off the shackles of these self-sabotaging patterns and “flip” them into the six keys to self-empowerment, allowing you to take self-reliant ownership of your life. Revealing how to work with the subconscious mind and become the leader of your life, the author details how to free yourself from living in survival mode, learn to love and accept yourself, and make authenticity and confidence your everyday way of being.
