Did you know that approximately 43% of American women have some form of “sexual dysfunction,” the majority suffering from decreased sexual desire? According to Dr. Diana Hoppe, this is true!

On her site, Dr. Hoppe shares….

www.Listentoyourlibido.com  a wonderful resource for women to cover all aspects of female sexuality.

As women, we dedicate 100% of our hearts and minds to our family, our work, and our community. We are organized, smart, nurturing, and generous. We are intensely well-informed about how to manage our finances, cook chicken in 365 different ways, write a brilliant resume, and be the best parent who ever lived. What we tend to overlook, however, is becoming as well-informed as possible about our private concerns: our mental, physical, and sexual health.

According to a National Health and Social Survey, approximately 43 percent of American women—including those in their early child-bearing years—have some form of “sexual dysfunction,” the majority suffering from decreased sexual desire. Yes, almost half of American women—in the prime of their sexual lives—would rather choose sleep, a good book, or a soothing bath over having sex with their partner. What about you? Take a close look at how you are living your life. Are you putting your physical, emotional and spiritual needs last?

By keenly assessing the choices you make, you can find the strength and power to live a more satisfying, fulfilling life. As a woman, it’s important to become aware of the highly significant and important connection between your libido and your quality of life. A pleasurable sex life spills over into the rest of your life. In fact, sex is actually good for your health—it can lead to a longer life span, less stress and depression, a healthier immune system, as well as more loving relationships, a greater sense of self-esteem, more enjoyment and satisfaction from life, and a feeling of recaptured sexual vigor—all things that women strive for.

The latest scientific research and practical tips presented in this book can help you take control of your health and relationships. This book will cover new information, such as the most recent brain research targeting specific areas of brain function (especially those impacting sex/orgasm), and new drugs aimed at tackling the core issues affecting women’s libido.

Are you ready to really listen to your libido? A critical objective of Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You is to give you permission to be sexy and sexual! You deserve to experience the fullness and joy of great sexual intimacy! But in order to do so, you must be informed. Understand your body and your brain and the processes that govern sexuality, as well as those that create a reluctance to enjoy intimacy. When you (and your partner) have the facts and the language to express this important element of your life, you can communicate more effectively. This candid communication can not only save your relationship, but also prove to get the sexual juices flowing. The choice to be happy and healthy sexually is within your control.

Is there such a thing as Female Erectile Dysfunction? Find out on DivaTalkRadio – A Show for Confident Women when Gina Parris and Kelli Claypool talk with Dr. Diana Hoppe, a Board Certified OB/GYN about women’s health and intimacy issues.

We had a great time with our guest Jennifer Tilman, author of Grooming Tales from A to Z.

Insights we gained from our questions and answers to Jennifer were…

Divas: Best dog to get for a family with young children?
Jennifer: I recommend a Black Lab Retriever because despite their size they are the most docile and easy going. Plus they will just walk away instead of getting impatient when they’ve had enough of the children.

Divas: What insight do you have for Diva Gina considering adopting a greyhound?
Jennifer: Greyhounds are very sweet dogs and great to adopt after their racing careers because they need someplace to go and they are very gentle but when it comes to disciplining them, you must be very careful to not break their spirit. They are so gentle.

Divas: What do you think are the smartest dogs?
Jennifer: Border Collies, Poodles and even Dalmatians, which can also be manipulative! Jennifer once found herself flip-flopped in a game of chase with her Dalmatian, and wondering, how did I become the one chasing?

Dogs have amazing language skills. They understand our language (without speaking baby talk to it.)

Maturity-wise, our dogs grow to the maturity level of about a 3 year old toddler. They are more intelligent than they get credit for.

At the end of this show, it remained a mystery why some owners actually look like their dogs!

Check out Jennifer’s book on Amazon.com

You can Listen to the show replay right here:

=====
If you thought humans were funny, just wait until you get a glimpse of the dogs in Jennifer Tilman’s life. As a dog groomer, Jennifer’s clientele consists of everything from Dobermans to prissy poodles.

While her job has its benefits—she is paid to be with her favorite animals all day!—she definitely learns the meaning of a crappy day more than once, literally. Who else expels the anal glands for the beloved pets? Affectionately told with humor and honesty,Jennifer’s confessions from the grooming world offers insight into the surprisingly profound lives of man’s best friends.

Sharing her techniques for preparing your dog for optimal health and happiness, Grooming Tales will have owners ready to embrace a whole new world of doggy care. What are her methods for bad-mannered dogs? What are the smartest breeds? What is the best pet for children? Do pets really look like their owners? The answers may surprise you. All will be revealed through quirky and educational accounts of Jennifer’s own experiences with her canine clientele.

Jennifer will be sharing her experiences on this episode of DivaTalkRadio LIVE. Phone lines and chat room will be open during the live call.

Here’s a link to an article that Jennifer wrote that discusses common health issues in dogs. It’s full of great information. Check it out:

James Goi  Inspires the Diva’s to Attract Money with Mind Power

Is it Woo-Woo or is it real?  I say it’s all “woo-woo” (if by that you mean part of the non-physical world) and it’s all real too! Our guest James Goi sure had some interesting ideas about this much talked about idea. Below are the notes I took as I listened and asked questions!

There are certainly keys to bringing in more finances with your mind. Yes, you will  be
inspired to take the right corresponding actions, but also do not rule out the power of
a windfall, because those happen too!

Step 1
Relaying to the subconscious mind and the universe what you really want

Step 2
You will discover ways to receive

People are often not proactive enough – not just as workers, but as mindset-builders.

Don’t be running after money, but get quiet and let yourself be led.

Desire  “Desire is the great moving power of the mind”  –Robert Collier 1921
The subconscious mind works with images and emotions. The images don’t matter as much as
intensity. So make sure you are feeding your mind with the images that evoke intensity in
a positive way for you.

Worry would be emotional intensity working against you!

Question: How do I get my desire for a new car high enough since I am fairly content and
not totally clear what car I want?

Answer: Be open to the best car for you, whatever it may be that is currently waiting for you.

Great affirmation may be:
I am so happy and excited now that I have the perfect vehicles for me at the right time.

Otherwise, just focus on the full bank account and you’ll have more than enough!

Yes, these concepts truly do work.

What the mind profoundly expects, it tends to receive.

James Goi Jr. is a speaker, mind-power coach, and the author of How to Attract Money Using Mind Power. His book is a serious work in which he quotes 160 other books.

James has published the free monthly “Mind Power & Money Ezine” since January, 2008. Since 1978, James has read hundreds of books in an effort to understand the laws of life. He’s lectured on metaphysics and spirituality with an emphasis on manifesting abundance. James is the only metaphysics teacher who specializes in the mind-power/money connection. He believes that in today’s economy, the information he shares is more needed than ever, and that his teachings could mean the difference between financial success and financial ruin for any individual, family, business or organization.

If you are embarking on a weight loss plan ask yourself:

1. What is the underlying goal you are trying to attain by losing weight? And what is it going to do for you? If its a way of validating yourself, it is a setup for disappointment.

Best perspective: See it as a health issue. This is a health journey with daily choices.

2. What short term goals do you have for your weight loss?

Instead of saying 10 lbs in 2 months. Let it be something you can control. “I will do zumba 2 days a week.” If life happens and gets in your way you can make it up at home and attain your goal. Let it be less regimented. Find ways to be flexible. You can do it on your terms.

3. What is your long term goal. If it is a number let it be a range. Ask yourself, “At what weight do I feel the best?” When you get to that number, that is the highest you should ever weigh again.  Then you will find a number that you kind of sit at. Call that your “happy number.”  That may be higher than the body mass index, but if you keep doing the right stuff, let God make up the result.

4. How will you define your successful plan?  Get away from a certain number and tune into a good feeling!

5. When will you terminate your plan?  -This is a trick question! We are looking for you to embrace the journey!
This was a great show! We encourage you to get Dr. Saundra’s book:

In 2009, Susan Diamond set out to empower women by giving them an easy way to add more prayer …to their daily lives. Why? Because women who take the time to connect with their higher power are happier and more fulfilled. Having just the right words at the right time is difficult in a busy world. Churches, synagogues, temples and mosques serve us well, yet you don’t need to be in a house of worship to pray. From this realization, Prayables was born.

Prayables is a free online prayer community that offers women short prayers that reflect a woman’s story. They are relevant to our times and honor all faith perspectives. Prayables gives you a way to bring more meaning to your life and a space to simply take time for you. We offer a new way to deal with everyday issues, global concerns and spirituality. You can help others through prayer, build stronger relationships and become a better you!

The Divas will talk with Susan Diamond, Founder of Prayables, on the next DivaTalkRadio. Join us for this inspiring show.

When: Show airs LIVE on Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. EST

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!
