Here, we KNOW that the Power of a woman’s worth and self-love is able to heal her family, friends, community, nation or country; which in turn, creates healing energy for the entire planet.

About Dahmenah:

While attending college in the early nineties, Dahmenah began discovering her calling when she began working in the Human Services field. Her first position was at a group home for boys in Lakeside, California. After finishing her degree in Business Administration, Dahmenah relocated to Los Angeles, California and began working for a group home for girls, ages 10 through 18. Seven years later, she would encounter her most challenging and rewarding work: assisting families as a Child and Family Specialist and later as a Wraparound Facilitator at Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services. Her work sent her into the community where she visited homes of families struggling to raise their children while fighting to keep their children in the home. During this time, she saw and felt the deep pain that inflicted so many women and she wondered if she could really make a difference. After spending fourteen years in the Human Services field, Dahmenah decided to change her approach to giving back to what she calls the, ” The Community of Women.” This new approach resulted in the creation of The Dating Revolution Workbook and the GURL KNOW company. Her personal mission is to harmonize, energize and feminize the “Community of Women” one woman at a time.

In her own life, she struggled for many years with low self esteem, bad romantic relationships, having dreams but not accomplishing any of them while the years just kept passing her by. The Workbook is the Journey that she herself took and it wasn’t until she became grounded in self love that her life started to changed. She wanted to share that Journey with other Women because she believes that all Women DESERVE to have EVERYTHING they want and more. But Women can not do better until they KNOW Better.

EcoChi is more than design, it is a revolution. It is a lifestyle shift that blends Classical Feng Shui, Green and Sustainable Living and Environmental Psychology… how people feel in their space. EcoChi teaches us that indoor space has a life…it breathes, it has bones, it contains and activates the 5 senses and at its best- the 6th sense. By bringing nature’s elements indoors in a whole new way, the EcoChi system attracts prosperity, harmony, health and happiness—while at the same time propagating environmental integrity.

Designing the Human Experience

Every space has a life of its own, and impacts us as we go about our lives. Our actions, energy and thoughts, as well as our physical well-being, are all profoundly influenced by our surroundings. The design, color scheme, textures, light, furnishings, accessories and placement of each item in our indoor environments impact our senses from moment to moment and shape how we feel about ourselves and others I created the EcoChi system which meticulously blends the powerful ancient and modern lessons of classical feng shui, green and sustainable living and environmental psychology to revolutionize how people feel when they are indoors. We spend about 99% of our time inside so it is easy to forget our connection to the outdoor world. Still, some of the happiest moments of our lives are spent outdoors. With EcoChi I bring nature’s elements into indoor spaces. The effects on the inhabitants are transformative and the added bonus is that it is also great for the planet.

Debra Duneier is the Founder and President of EcoChi, LLC, and Living Home by Debra LLC, a Feng Shui Master Practitioner, an accredited LEED® Green Associate, Certified Eco-Designer, and a New York State licensed real estate broker. Ms. Duneier is the creator of the EcoChi® system of design and the author of EcoChi: Designing the Human Experience, scheduled for publication Late Summer 2011.

Debra and her EcoChi concept have been featured in the Green Issue of Enterprising Women’s Magazine, Fast Company and GreenCityChallenge.org.

When illness struck Catherine in 2005, her life turned a corner. Reluctantly, she exchanged her active existence as a budding Speaker and multifaceted Entrepreneur for a sedentary life.

Unwilling to give up her desire to make a difference in the world around her, Catherine made a decision. With a string of published articles behind her, she decided to pursue writing her first book. The years subsequent to 2005 deepened Catherine as she re-evaluted the validity of her belief in God, and rediscovered its staying power. Then in 2007, when cancer hit, her faith held up.

Convinced intimacy with God through Jesus Christ is the secret to true success and inner peace, Catherine shifted her focus and in 2008 began preparing for ministy.

Based out of South Central Alaska, Catherine and her husband, Jeff, are semi-retired with a part-time business. Along with sea kayaking and fishing, she pursues her biggest passion – helping others experience God.

SHOW RECAP: This show was DIVA-licious! Kim Olver is one of our favorite guests and she shared some great information today regarding why some couples are disappointed when it comes to holidays like Valentine’s Day. It’s all in the communication baby! Kim also shared the 5 basic needs. Which one is more relevant to you?

If you missed the live show, be sure to listen to the rebroadcast and connect with Kim. Your Happy relationship will thank you!

What Makes a Happy Couple Happy?

Whether you’re in love and want to make it better, or are alone and want to get it right next time, relationship expert Kim Olver reveals the hidden truths behind happiness and satisfaction.

Secrets of Happy Couples is different from other books of the same subject because it is based on one basic truth—that all great relationships begin and end with yourself. Any relationship is the sum of its parts: individuals. This book explores how you, as an individual, can make the difference and create a happy and fulfilling relationship with your partner.

No other book has surveyed couples. Olver also interviewed prominent relationship experts and included their ideas in the book. She discusses the Relationship Cycle, beginning in the Alone Stage, moving to the Getting Together Stage, on to the Compatibility Stage, to the Maintenance Stage, and then back to the Alone Stage. At least 50% of us will find ourselves alone again due to death, divorce or personal decision. Kim doesn’t shy away from that fact; instead she provides tips and strategies to successfully navigate the grief of a lost relationship.

Secrets of Happy Couples: Loving Yourself, Your Partner, and Your Life will provide you with the answer to how you too can be happy and satisfied in your relationship with your significant other.

Join our host, Kelli Claypool, as she talks with Kim about the Secrets of Happy Couples, on the next DivaTalkRadio.

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:

One of the things that we enjoy doing on DivaTalkRadio is giving new authors the opportunity to share their books with our Loyal Diva Listeners. When the information about this author came across my desk, I knew that her story would be ideal to share. What caught my eye is this message from Patsy…

“My name is Patsy Henry, and although I am 65 and retired, I am in a good place.  Two years ago I wrote and had two books published about my bunnies.  At this point, I have 3 books in the “My Hare Line” series and a 4th one in the editing process.  What an awesome place to be at this point in my life!!!  I have had all sorts of rewarding experiences.  Who would have thought??  I look forward to hearing from you.”

How could I not book her to be on the show? I love how she is living out her dream of writing books on her beloved bunnies. I can totally see me writing books about my pet chickens…hmmm, don’t get me started!

Author Patsy Henry came by and shared her sweet spirit and story with us on DivaTalkRadio all about her journey and even  getting published telling her stories about Bunny Rabbits. More proof that following your passion can lead to good things.

Also, we are so excited to announce that we have filled 478 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, nearly reaching our Mission 500 Goal of five hundred. THANK YOU DIVAS!

When you were a child, did you have a pet?  My Hare Line author, Patsy M. Henry, was from a hard working farm family, and there was no time or money for pets. The thought of having one never entered her mind.  At the age of fifty-seven, her husband surprised her with a rabbit for Easter.  Follow along as the author takes you on an emotional ride as she learns how to take care of Bunny Rabbit.  She adds Jack and Flopsey to the family and the action picks up.  Emotions run high as two dogs attack the rabbits.  Our author develops a love and strong bond unlike any she had known before.  My Hare Line tells the story of their sometimes-bumpy ride.

After the tree fell and knocked the fence down, Brownie asked Rascal if anyone escaped. Rascal thought this was the silliest thing he had ever heard. As usual, Rascal talked to Aunt Paula Rabbit about what Brownie had said to him. That’s when he learned about his adventurous family.

SHOW RECAP: Hear from Cheryl Bannerman PLUS catch up on our exciting goals for our Operation Christmas Child!

Despite finding herself divorced and raising a special needs child on her own, dealing with the death of two brothers due to drugs, this Diva has pulled herself out of a traumatic situation and found victory. When everything looked bleak, she found blessings.

In her new book, Black Child to Black Woman (a ‘live diary’), Cheryl (McNeil) Bannerman discusses an experience that will grab your attention right from the start. The character, Tara Walker, speaks directly to the reader as she adds entry after entry into her Journal. She documents her experiences, her family life, her triumphs, as well as her interpretation of life and the world as she saw it. As she grows, so does the language and tone of the diary, which matches her maturity and speech patterns as the time passes.

Experiences are mere images engraved in our minds that we recall when future events occur such as a tragedy or even when a song is playing on the radio. Tara has captured those moments in time in her diary, even the painful ones. Although she came from a loving home with both parents, she struggled to come to grips with siblings addicted to drugs, molestation, attempted rape, broken hearts, and so much more.

Her diary experiences will make you laugh, cry, scream, sigh, and gasp aloud. As Tara struggles to keep her head above water and fight through the tribulations of her life, she continues to smile, continues to grow as a person, continues to be successful in her career, and continues to survive. Through it all and through her daughter, she eventually discovers the true meaning of unconditional love.

Come discover life through the eyes of Tara as she grows from a black child to a black woman.

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.
