Girlfriend We Gotta Talk

A Woman Making HERstory

Listen Now!

It is still March and we can’t let the month go without recognizing Women’s History Month.  And not just women in the past but also women today who are making their own HERstory.

On our latest "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" radio show our girlfriend Rebekah Pierce shared the odds she overcame to carve out a better life. Wow, talk about a woman making her own HERstory!

Growing up poor in Stockton, CA with limited resources, she fought hard for the opportunity to attend college and almost took her own life to flee the harsh road and lies that were whispered into her spirit about her self-worth.

But the thought of her mother’s hard work to give her children better opportunities gave her the strength to press on. 

Today Rebekah is the Editor in Chief of the motivational and inspirational “Average Girl Magazine” in addition to being a teacher, wife, mother and now a playwright whose plays are being turned into films!

We think you’ll be inspired by Rebekah as much as we are!

More Buzz With Less Bucks

Listen Now!

How do you continue to promote your business when budgets are slashed and bucks are tight? 

Here's an idea!  Use traditional media (like local newspapers, magazines, and TV) and new media (like social networking and online videos) in low to no-cost ways to position yourself as the friendly, informative "go to" expert for what you do. 

We like to call it "more buzz with less bucks" and it's what we're doing for our "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" radio show.  Goodness knows sorting through these options can be confusing, but we know you can do it and we're here to help. 

This week's guests are two techie guys!  (Gasp, can you believe it?)

First is video guru Chris Piedade of Tag-Line Media told us why video on the web is powerful and what's really involved in producing one.  You gotta hear about how he made a roofer a rock star!

 

Then social networking geek Garth Callaghan of 127Tech shares what's key to making social networking powerful and not just another thing to do.

Plus, we really want to help our business girlfriends in this economy and we can only cover but so much in one radio show so we've put together a "How to Create More Buzz With Less Bucks" workshop on Wed, April 15th, 9 am - 12:30 pm, here in Richmond. 

Happy for No Reason

Listen Now!

Girlfriend, we do try to deliver. We knew when we asked Marci Shimoff to be our guest on our “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show today at 3 pm Eastern that her book “Happy For No Reason:  7 Steps to Being Happy From the Inside Out” was good.  Very good.

We had no idea – and she didn’t, either – that her book would hit #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list this past week!

We can’t wait to share her with you!  Because now, in these turbulent times, it’s more important than ever to be happy from the inside out.

You’ve got to hear about what Marci means by “happy for no reason” and how you can be happy today even if your circumstances aren’t and even if you we’re born Ms. Pollyanna. 

Do You Have the Big Butt Syndrome?

Listen Now!

We have some bad news.  You may have The Big Butt Syndrome.

Just like you’re the only one who can truly decide if your butt looks big in your jeans, you’re the only one who can truly determine if you have The Big Butt Syndrome.

Good news is that it’s curable.   

Today on “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” our guest Gina McNew, co-host of The Diva Success Network, explained exactly what The Big Butt Syndrome is and how you can “put on your big girl shoes and heel thyself Diva!”

It’s all a part of how we’re doing our best to bring you amazing guests and great laughter to increase your sanity, confidence and fun.

In addition to being a hoot, you’ll hear how she went from successful interior designer to inspiring radio show co-host for The Diva Success Network, a weekly radio show in Sandy Springs, GA on 1620 am and online at TheDivaSuccessNetwork.com.  All because of The Big Butt Syndrome.

Today’s Assisted Living Is Not Your Grandmother’s Nursing Home

Listen Now!

Today’s assisted living is not your grandmother’s nursing home!

We learned that for sure thanks to Tara Davis, Our guest, Tara Davis, Director of The Towers retirement and assisted living community in Richmond, VA.  As our go-to girlfriend for understanding exactly what assisted living is, what it’s not and how to choose a good one, she filled us in.

One of the most important things we learned:  start to learn about the assisted living options in your area now, before you and your aging parents absolutely need it!  Because by that time, it’s soooo much harder and you may easily be unhappy with the result.

Why not take a few minutes today to hear our girlfriend chat about this very important topic!
