This week's episode is all about love and re-connections which is one of my favorite subjects! Ken and Jennifer Hoffman, who were high school classmates, share their story about how they connected on Facebook and a romance developed. And all because Jen updated her Facebook profile with a new picture! 

"When it's right, it's right as rain, when it's right, there is no pain, when it's right  it's not again" as Ken quoted his favorite song to Jen..

However this is not just your ordinary re-connection love story as Ken and Jen share the major road bump you never want to face when Jennifer got a diagnosis of tongue cancer. They were only married for 4 short years when they received the devastating news. Jennifer has faced three bouts of cancer since August of 2018 but, after a harrowing and difficult battle, she's been cancer free since January of this year.

Their story reflects the amazing ups and downs of life and love and clearly the battle they faced has brought them even...

This week my special guest is Jessa Zimmerman, a certified sex therapist and couples’ counselor. She specializes in helping couples who have a good relationship but who are avoiding sex because it’s become stressful, negative, disappointing, or pressured. She educates, coaches, and supports people as they go through her 9-phase experiential process that allows them real world practice in changing their relationship and their sex life.

This episode is a tribute to long-lasting friendships! Friends who are more like family, aka Framily!!!

I can't imagine my life without my college besties, Kathy, Tammy & Kim. We have been through it all - studying for exams, dating, marriages, having babies, dealing with divorce, overcoming illness, fun adventures, career changes, lots of shopping, loss of jobs, loss of parents, launching our children into the world and now welcoming grandchildren - everything that life brings. We've been buddies for 43 years!

I don't get to see them very often but we chat frequently and when I do get time with them, it is treasured beyond measure. 

They lift me up. They support me. When something good happens, they are the first ones I want to share it with. When I have a crisis, they are the first ones I want advice from.

Do you have long-standing BFFs in your life? Or even more recent ones? If so, reach out today and tell them you love them and how much they mean to you. I am sure...

In this week's episode, Nancy Allen talks about her experience as an incest survivor. She shares her heart-wrenching story of navigating sexual abuse by her own father.

She was physically and emotionally abused until a teacher noticed her odd behavior which led to a  mandated, but brief, kinship foster care placement by social services. She talks about the judicial system that failed her and allowed her to be placed back into her family home with her abusive father who was not charged.

She was able to escape her abuse by leaving for college and doing well in school. She also was fortunate to find a caring and compassionate boyfriend who she married at the age of 20. She went on to have a successful engineering career and lived a pretty normal life, becoming a mom to 2 biological sons and later adopting twin boys with special needs.

Unfortunately her life was upended when her husband of 28 years committed...

In this episode I get super vulnerable and share how I manifested the loss of millions of dollars in stock options and how embarrassed and ashamed I used to be from my mishandling of money until I uncovered the greater lesson from it.

In my later years, as I've gained a deeper understanding of the Universal Laws, and in particular, the Law of Attraction and how we can not only manifest what we want into our life,  but also what we don't want.

I've also learned that our relationship with money is just another set of beliefs that are running on auto pilot and have been following us around since childhood, and if we don't get to the root of them and understand how they are impacting our life, then we will never conquer our money "problems." They will follow us everywhere we go.

So here is my true story of how my beliefs around money and the unexpected consequences of living a life out of alignment with what my soul truly desired impacted me in a deep way, AND what I'm doing now...

EP48: Have you ever wanted something so bad and through the process of going after that dream, an even better dream than you imagined unfolded for you? 

Well, THAT is what happened to my guest, Liz Melville. She had an all-consuming job and got to the point where she felt that if she wanted to become a mom, she had to quit.

When Liz found herself marrying later in life and unable to  get pregnant, she knew something had to give so she chose to make having a baby, her #1 priority. As she faced an unknown road ahead with infertility, she took advantage of an "exit" package when her company restructured and went ALL IN with IVF treatments. 

During this time she dabbled a bit as an entrepreneur with a seemingly, "knowing" mentality that she was meant for bigger & better things and that she would figure it out.

Once she became a mom, her focus became figuring out a way to be with her son while also finding a way to...

Today I'm starting a new series I'm calling #ThursdayThoughts and I thought it would be fun to use my Energy Oracle cards to come up with a topic. Since these cards act as intuitive hits for us, I know by using them, the universe will send me great ideas to share with my listeners.

The card that came up for me today is Community which was quite accurate in that I've been super focused in my virtual communities over the past week, both in my mentor's Facebook Group where she was doing free training and then announcing enrollment into her program, and with my group of new students who are going through my Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School.

If you're interested in getting the Oracle card deck that I used today, here is the link to the cards on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gGIcWP

The guide book that comes with the cards will tell you everything you need to know.

It was really fun to let the universe guide me today so I plan to do this a lot going forward with my #ThursdayThoughts...

Jennifer Gardner is a trial lawyer and entrepreneur who has owned her own law firm, in Los Angeles, for 25 years, as well as other businesses.

After growing weary of hiring marketing agencies who overpromised and underdelivered “results,” she studied directly with 7-figure online marketers and social media influencers to learn their secrets to success.

She applied what she learned and exploded her business using one “lead magnet,” an automated email sequence and 3 iPhone videos.

She now teaches professionals what to say to get clients using social media, email and videos, and guides them in building lead generation systems that grow their businesses on autopilot so that they don’t blow their kid’s college fund on questionable marketing strategies and they never have to attend another rubber-chicken networking event again.
