When your purpose changes, it’s time to find a new purpose.
Guest: Dominique Browning, author of Slow Love
LISTEN on Bloom Talk Radio
Podcast: Aired live July 1, 2010
As editor-in-chief of Conde Nast’s House & Garden, Dominique Browning found herself fired when the magazine folded on November of 2007. She had four days to pack up her belongings and was suddenly, without warning, out of work.
Slow Love is Dominique’s new book and as she describes it, ” it’s about wearing your pajamas to the farmer’s market, packing up a beloved
home and downsizing to a more rural setting, making time to play the piano and go kayaking, picking up the Bible, reinventing yourself, and not cutting corners when it comes to love, muffins or gardening.”
We’ll talk about what it means to reinvent yourself when life suddenly changes beyond your control and how to find humor, joy and unexpected surprises in living a life that was never sought, but just happened. With excerpts from her book, Dominique fills us in on her journey from the fast paced Manhattan lifestyle of magazine deadlines and high-end events, to slowing down to love life and find happiness.

I’m Out of Touch with My Body!

It’s that time of year again … when we think about how we look and how we will ever get back in shape again.
Guest: Andie Hight, award winning journalist and host of Native Wisdom Radio

Thursday, May 20th, 3pm EST
Since you’ve ignored it for a while, probably all winter or longer, maybe it’s time to check in with your body.
Just like calling an old friend who you haven’t talked to in a while and dealing with the initial feelings of guilt for not being connected and fear that there will be no response, you know that once you do get in touch it will be a good thing. Do you want to feel your body move again and nourish it with healthy foods? Then it’s worth it to reconnect even if it’s been some time.
Andie Hight
Join me and my fellow radio host on the Her Insight Network, Andie Hight, as we explore our body, mind and spiritual connection. Through her own journey to identify with her body after a life-threatening illness, Andie brings insight which goes deeper than just trying a new diet or exercise regime to get back to feeling comfortable with your body again. It’s about awareness to manifest the physical body that you can have and loving the skin you’re in.
