SHOW RECAP: Rebecca Fein came by the Diva Studio to help us navigate the pain of a bad breakup, or divorce, but first we had some insight into the power of understanding the different ways we express and receive love.

We recommend Gary Chapman’s free quiz on his site

the Five Love Languages.

Kelli and Rebecca both share how to come through a painful divorce. Kelli’s first marriage ended in this expensive, traumatizing way. The losses of friendships, money, community position, self esteem, and family is painful. But there are some steps to move to victory.

1. Forgive your self and your mate

2. Take extreme care of yourself

3. Reach out to new community members

When people look at you strangely after your pain, simply greet them warmly!

Sometimes this heartache follows death and grief also. How important to help eachother.

SHOW RECAP:

We had a great time as Alicia Cramer came and shared with the Diva’s how combining mindset tools with energy tools can  bring a huge shift in our results. This is because our unconscious beliefs drive most of our behaviors.

Alicia D. Cramer C.Ht. Blends Science and Spirituality to Help You Overcome Your Obstacles to Success.  Alicia not just a Hypnotherapist, she’s  a Success Coach, EFT practitioner and Ordained Minister. Alicia utilizes a powerful approach to inner and outer transformation.

It’s been estimated by the year 2032 over half of the population will be obese.

Health care professionals are warning that people need to use active coping strategies, day-in and day-out, to prevent weight gain, but unfortunately, most do not succeed. In order to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle we must change the way we act and change the way we think.

Hypnotherapy and Weight Loss: A Proactive Solution for Life- Long Results

Hypnotherapy is a proactive, beneficial tool that can help people lose weight and accomplish their goals. By using verbal suggestions during a hypnotic state of heightened awareness, hypnotherapists are able to reinforce positive thinking, address conflicts, and encourage mental rewiring. Mental rewiring is creating or changing neurological pathways in our brains to help change the way we respond to or view a situation.

Coryanne shared with us her transition from corporate world to life as a stay at home mom and then a work from home mom.

She was trying so hard to be “more than a stay-at-home mom,” that she nearly killed herself working on her Master’s in Philosophy  from Kings College in London.  She finally learned some keys to living peacefully at home on a dramatic pay decrease.

Some keys:

1. Invite people into your home, instead of meeting at cafe’s.

2. Relationships with other mothers blossomed in this season, and she learned to let go of any shame over any lacking cooking skills.

3. She learned to be proud to say, “I am a housewife!” With a smile and with her shoulders back. That’s when she realized that many people would have loved to live that stay at home role.

4. Reveling in the enjoyment of the moment is priceless!

Kelli admitted that she is not a kitchen lover. In fact, as a very young bride, she once wrote to the Betty Crocker Cooking Club to cancel her membership because they kept sending her recipes involving a Dutch Oven and by golly, she had an American Oven! Twenty years later, she discovered what a dutch oven is.

This creates cooking anxiety.

Regarding cooking anxiety: Learn that nothing has to be perfect! Enjoy the process and being in the company of friends and loved ones!

About Coryanne Etienne: As a wife, and the mother of 3 young children, inspiration for her business is taken from daily life, and infused from her experiences living in Europe, Asia and Africa.  Prior to starting Housewife Bliss in 2010, Coryanne Ettiene earned a Master of Philosophy from Kings College London and spent over 10 years working as a management consultant. When she left her job in management consulting to focus on motherhood, it took her time to embrace the value of her new role and find the right balance between the woman she was before and the woman she was becoming.  During this transition, Coryanne devoured books on domestication, cooking and gardening, and soon discovered that her new place in society held an equally important role as her last.

In 2010, this journey into domestication became the motivation behind Housewife Bliss, and today she promotes the message that the modern traditionalist housewife is a woman who manages her home with pride, has a passion for traditional domestic arts, and above all is not defined by her home, but rather defines her home.

Dr. Carolyn Edwards inspired us as we talked about entrepreneurship and the ability to inspire the dreams in the children and adults around us.

Here are some highlights from the talk:
What led you from being a college professor to being a powerful entrepreneur?

Dr. E: After finding people misusing financial aide and being unable to come to school, and others went to class but never developed a winning attitude. Many students just never learned the life skills they needed at home. So I started writing children’s books.

My books tell the story about little Jeremiah to inspire them to succeed in life. They don’t have to be a professional athlete or a race car driver to be successful. Everyone can be what they love.

I don’t want to live in a vanilla society. If we allow children to bring a gift and talent in the world we will have so much more diversity and love and passion. Truly the world will be a better place.

Let’s help some people not wait until they are retired to pursue the passion in their life.

We want to allow people to be comfortable in their own skin. Life is so short so lets at least enjoy the journey.

Stephanie Ford inspired us to Dress to Manifest our unique personalities. What a fun show.
Stephanie was working in the IT industry and enjoyed traveling across the country as an IT consultant but really wanted to share her purpose and talents and chose the fashion industry.
Stephanie is now passionate about helping women learn to express themselves holistically through what they wear.
We have power to bring visual impact through our fashion. A key to great fashion is knowing who you are.
We can start by looking at color: This communicates mood.
Yellow is  great for getting your point across.
Brown or black and neutrals communicate you being more laid back, more introspective
Red conveys fieryness
Stephanie has created style guides  some examples include -
1. Flames – light up the room, may like sequins and bling
2. the Nobles – the baby blue, powder blue & mauve. Calm & very refined & strong. With a high class attitude, sophisticated.
5. The Royals – similar to Nobles but operate as top level individuals – orange, regal golds, can wear furs, animal prints
