Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous

Redefine what Success means to you so you can Succeed Every Day and watch your life take the path you’ve always known was right for you
Many of us want more in life. We want to be more, but somehow we are  constantly frustrated, anxious and even depressed because we can’t seem to get what we know we want.   Judith   and Jim  will tell you that it  has nothing to do with the outside world. In fact, it has everything to do with your lack of internal permission and it’s that lack of permission that is creating all that hold-back. So, how do you change it? How do you uncover what is holding you back or  stopping you from moving in the direction you want to go?

Husband-and-wife psychology team Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and Jim Sniechowski, Ph.D. have discovered the core issue that holds people back from the success they desire. They are sought after executive coaches with clients in, for example, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, New York, London, Los Angeles, New Delhi, Singapore, Dublin, Paris, Queensland Australia, and elsewhere. And as guest experts, they have appeared on over 2700 television and radio shows including Oprah, The View, Canada AM, 48 Hours, MSNBC, and CNN.  Listen to them  on WTBQ with me on June 18th and July 16th and 23rd in a series about their program, The Fear of Being Fabulous. 

Listen to Judith and Jim talk about their program, The Fear of Being Fabulous.  This program is brilliant and will change your life. When you overcome your fear of being fabulous, you will open up the possibilities in your life that have not been available nor allowed by you in your life.

Dying. Something we are all going to do eventually, but something none of us want to talk about right now. Understandable – but according to my guest, Susan Abel Lieberman, Ph.D. it is smarter and possibly more reassuring to talk about it when you are alive and healthy.  Lieberman is the author of eight books all about the stages in life we go through. So why not write about the final stage – death.

Listen to what she has to say, because it may be time for you to think about the choices you will someday have to make and set them up as good choices now.

Sandalwood Death is set during the Boxer Rebellion (1898–1901)—an anti-imperialist struggle waged by North China’s farmers and craftsmen in opposition to Western influence.This powerful novel by Mo Yan—one of contemporary China’s most famous and prolific writers—is both a stirring love story and an unsparing critique of political corruption during the final years of the Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial epoch.

Mo Yan (literally, “don’t speak”) is the pen name of Guan Moye. Born in 1955 in Gaomi, Shandong province, he is the author of ten novels and more than seventy short stories. Mo Yan is the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature and the 2009 Newman Prize for Chinese Literature.
Listen to Howard Goldblatt who is the award-winning translator of Sandalwood Death and of numerous works of contemporary Chinese literature, including six other novels by Mo Yan talk about this book and the bit of controversy surrounding it Tuesday at 11:30 on WTBQ ~
