Would You Like to be a Guest on an Upcoming Show

The Divas are looking for guests to interview on future shows. While our target market are women business owners, we do have a male following (they just love us!) Our primary goal is to educate, empower, and motivate women of all ages.

Our show airs LIVE ever Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. EST. It is a 30 minute, commercial-free show.

I’m Back and Ready to Bring You Great Shows

After taking a holiday hiatus for a little more than month, I am ready and excited to be back on Internet Radio.  I want to personally thank all of the fans of DivaTalkRadio for your well wishes and holiday wishes over the past few months.  I’m delighted to say that my husband is doing well and continues to get better each day.  Again, thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!

I have so much planned for The Diva Network, which includes both DivaTalkRadio and BriefcaseDiva, and will update you shortly.

One of the things that I’ll be doing differently with DivaTalkRadio is shortening the show from 60 minutes to 30 minutes.  The shows will continue to be every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. EST and replays of the show will be made available on this site as well as iTunes.

I will continue to interview women business leaders as well as bring you the latest trends and tips to excel in your business.  But in order to do so, I need to hear from YOU! What do you want to hear on DivaTalkRadio?  Who do you want interviewed?  This show is for YOU, so you tell me what YOU want and I’ll make it happen!

Singer and Songwriter Billie Myers is our Featured Guest on 11-18-09

After a seven-year hiatus, Billie Myers , the prodigiously talented British singer/songwriter who delivered the international smash-hit “Kiss the Rain”, is back with her latest music gem “Tea and Sympathy” and is already making a lot of noise!

On September 1, the highly anticipated buzz-heavy “Tea and Sympathy”, in less than 24 hours of its online release, impressively scored a #15 spot on the iTunes Singer/songwriter chart.

This time around, Billie has got some heavy hitters in her corner. The envelope pushing musically expansive new CD features collaborations with such highly acclaimed songwriters as Peter Vale, (Lemar, Beverly Knight) Marcella Detroit, (Shakespeare’s Sister, Eric Clapton) and Kristen Hall, (Sugarland). While staying true to the expressive vocals and incisive lyrics that have earned her a loyal fan base and ongoing critical acclaim, Myers has broken new ground musically.

Working with UK producer Dee Adam, Myers has fashioned a unique collage of sound that intertwines electronica, trip-hop beats, and bluesy guitars around her live acoustic/rock roots.

Having formed her own record label Fruit Loop Records, after being dropped by Universal, Billie Myers is going the independent way by successfully utilizing the internet as a marketing and distribution tool.  She is releasing her first single “I Hope You’re Happy Now” exclusively on iTunes UK and iTunes USA.

Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers

A resolute follower of D.I.Y ethos, the talented artist, who has already established via a guerrilla style type of promotion/PR a strong world wide web presence, is setting the perfect example on how independent artists can distribute music sans major label support by making full use of the internet and the many social networks a la Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and Twitter to name a few.

The Divas are thrilled to have Billie Myers as our guest on November 18th.  This lady is beautiful inside and out and her music is amazing! You will not want to miss this show!

Learning that is is OK to ask for help with childcare, business matters and other things are also important. I find using a schedule to keep track of my time is vital.

Q: What is the one thing (book, website, coach, tool, blog, service, etc) that you value and can say has contributed to your success?

A: Mom Masterminds!! I learned so much by joining this business networking and learning group. I gained a lot of knowledge in SEO, writing, Marketing and more.

Lexi Rodrigo is our Featured Guest 7/8/09

Lexi Rodrigo is an internet marketer, freelance copywriter, and mother of three. She is an avid blogger and writer, as well as an advocate of natural parenting and eco-friendly living.

Lexi has been copywriting for 19 years. She has extensive experience and education as a writer and marketer. Speaking as a mom/marketer myself, it’s both interesting and inspirational to find someone who has had an experience so close to my own.

Lexi’s writings hit close to home; the trials and travails of a work-at-home internet marketing mom are all too familiar to me, and perhaps to some of you Divas out there as well. I think that we can all learn a lot from Lexi, so I ask that you consider reading her blogs:
http://mylifeshift.org – about transitioning from working Mom to work at home Mom

http://naturalmomsblog.com – about natural parenting and eco-friendly living

http://alexisrodrigo.com – about marketing, copywriting and all things business

http://www.thesavvyfreelancer.com – about achieving financial and creative freedom as a freelancer

Also, please Tweet Lexi at @lexirodrigo

As always, the show is at 2 P.M. EST and you can interact with us at DivaTalkRadio.com/live

That’s it for now! Until next time, wear your heels well and I’ll see YOU at the show!

Our Tribute to Military Wives, Moms, Sisters & Aunts – July 1st

This is a short video that will give you a little bit of a feel for what our July 1st show is about. The show is dedicated to women with loved ones in the armed services; to thank them for their sacrifice. All women with loved ones serving in the military are welcome. We felt it was appropriate, given the upcoming July 4th holiday.

Divas, please don’t miss this chance to thank the brave women who may never see a battlefield, but still have to fight our wars too.

I look forward to your seeing you Military Divas at the show (Wednesday, July 1st at 2:00 p.m EST). Of course, if you absolutely cannot make it to the live show, replays will be available.

That’s it for now! Until next time…wear your heels well!

P.S. Will you please tweet about our show? I’d love to spread the word and invite as many women as possible.  Likewise, I’d love your feedback.

P.S.S. A HUGE thank you to my Intern, Stephen, for creating such an incredible video.  Stephen, you ROCK!!

Michael McCann is our Featured Guest for 06/17/09

Michael McCann is the author of  Husband-ry 101: How to Train Your Husband to Be the Spouse You’ve Always Wanted Him to Be. Michael has been speaking on marital communications for five years, since the first edition of Husband-ry 101 was published in 2004. A humorous and down-to-earth feel to his presentations ensures that his audience is comfortable and receptive to what he has to say, complimented by his trademark props.

Michael first got into the field of marital communications 8 years ago, after a conversation with his wife in the car. He and his wife were in the car talking about the same subject, even agreeing with each other, but neither could understand what the other was trying to convey. (This is something that I’m sure has happened to all of us at some point.) During the course of the conversation, Michael’s wife suggested that since he was a writer (business writer at the time)  he should write a book on marital communication.  Three years and many wife interviews later, Husband-ry 101 was born.

Michael first noticed that many of his friends and business contacts during his time as a business writer asked him about how they could improve their marriage. Explaining why, he says “these people would see my wife and I together and we actually ‘like’ each other.” Eventually, given the quality of his marriage, his abilities as a writer, and the prompting of his wife, Husband-ry 101 would come to be.

The current book is the second addition of Husbandry 101, and its chief distinguishing characteristic from the first book is the addition of more research on marriage in America. Michael has heard from wives of several other countries that in their opinion marriage in America “is not that far off from marriage in their country psychologically.” The additional research on American marriages should be of some use to those of us who want to train our American hubbies a little bit more.

Michael McCann has a BBA in Marketing from Baylor University (Waco, TX) and MBA from Texas A&M (Corpus Christi, TX). With over 25 years of writing experience and 8 years of wife interviews behind him, he is an expert in the field of marital communications. He lives in The Woodlands, Texas with his wife. He has been happily married for 24 years and is extremely proud of his 31-year-old stepson.

Please visit Michael’s humurous and enjoyable website at husband-ry.com.  You can contact Cheryl for information on Michael’s availability and appearances:

• E-mail Cheryl
• Phone Cheryl at 713-703-5608 (Houston, TX) or 800-431-6933
• Mail to: P.O. Box 7723 The Woodlands, TX 77387

Don’t forget to Tweet these wonderful folks at @hubby101 for Michael and @huggy101 for Cheryl.

You can listen live on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. EST and interact with us in our webchat by going to DivaTalkRadio.com/live. Also, phone lines will be open during the show for all your questions and comments.

That’s it for now.  Until next time, wear your heels well and we’ll see YOU at the show!

Theresa Wing Hines is our Featured Guest 6/10/09

Theresa Wing Hines is our featured guest on June 10, 2009.  Theresa founded One Pearl in 2004, after her son entered wilderness therapy for behavioral problems. She explains how the core concept of One Pearl came to her in this excerpt from a blog post:

“the analogy of the pearl and my son popped into my head. An epiphany. The perfect metaphor. The pearl. An object placed in a foreign environment, nurtured and coated with nacre, emerging a beautiful and unique gem. My son, placed in a foreign environment, cut off from the rest of the world, nurtured and coated with therapy, emerging a beautiful and unique gem. Perfect. My Pearl.

After that idea came to me, I had to figure out how to market it, how to make people notice it. It was then that I decided to put one contrasting pearl on every piece of jewelry to symbolize the transformation of someone, if only given the chance.

A black or white pearl, on every piece, with the hope that someone will ask why is that one pearl there? To then be given the chance to say, this pearl represents a child who has been transformed with my help, through the purchase of this necklace/bracelet. BAM! One Pearl was born.”

Wow…it’s not often that we hear stories like this. It’s incredibly admirable what Theresa did in creating One Pearl, and what she has continued to do  with her company since then. One Pearl has its origins in a rise-from-the-ashes story worthy of a Lifetime Original Movie, as well as supporting several charities via “retail philanthropy”.

What this means is that One Pearl is a for-profit company, but consistently donates over fifty percent of its profits to the various charities it supports. I’ve rarely heard of a for-profit business voluntarily giving up some of its profits for any reason, and I was absolutely excited when I heard about the great things One Pearl is doing.

Theresa Wing Hines is the mother of two sons, ages 17 and 20. She says that “Of my life experiences, travel has probably had the biggest impact on me.” At a very young age, Theresa’s family moved to Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) and stayed for two and a half years.

The family traveled extensively in Asia and Africa during this time, forming the basis for Theresa’s lifelong wanderlust. When her son (then sixteen, now 20) attended wilderness therapy camp followed immediately by therapeutic boarding school, Theresa fought off her depression, guilt, and grief by starting One Pearl. Five years later Theresa, her son, and her company are all going strong.

This seems like it’s going to be an incredible show. Divas, tune in to hear about Theresa’s amazing story.

Be sure to visit Theresa’s site at OnePearl.com

You can listen live and interact with us by going to DivaTalkRadio.com/live.

That’s it for now.  Until next time, wear your heels well and we’ll see YOU at the show!

P.S. You’ve gotta check out Theresa’s gorgeous jewelry. I’m so jones’in for the pearl bracelet. Okay…I want EVERYTHING on the site.  Yep, I’m making a wishlist!!
