<p><strong>Peaceful Awakening on Journey to Self</strong></p>
<p>This week on Journey to Self I am talking about Peaceful Awakening with Nanice Ellis.</p>
<p>A powerful speaker, author and intuitive counselor and coach, Nanice Ellis is a master at turning challenges into triumphs. Through her wisdom, enthusiasm and positive energy, Nanice creates significant, life-altering transformation in a safe and compassionate environment of unconditional acceptance and support.</p>
<p>Nanice understands that only in the face of fear, can we discover courage, and only when we feel most lost can we finally find our way home. In this truth she has found her sole purpose—to help others find their way through the darkness into the light, creating a safe space for virtually anyone to look deep within themselves and discover their own truths while tapping into their unlimited potential. Because of her unwavering love and compassion, others gravitate to Nanice for acceptance and support, trusting her to share in their journeys toward unconditional self-acceptance.</p>
<p>Join me Thursday September 10th as Nanice and I talk about peaceful awakenings.</p>

<p><strong>Message from Coach Tonya</strong></p>
<p>Sadly, the last days of summer have drifted away.  This week has been a busy one for me and my family.  Ben, Logan, and I all start school this week and I am still spending time on the job search.  In addition <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT43" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT44" class="Object">Thursday</span></span> I am doing 3 LIVE shows - two Journey to Self shows and Mom&#8217;s Coffee Break show at its new day and time (Thursdays at 8pm cst).</p>
<p>It has started to cool down here in Wisconsin and fall is in the air.  With such a busy summer I still can not believe that it is gone, but I am looking forward to the new adventures that all of us are undertaking.  This week two of my shows are very focused on getting through the back to school stress (<span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT45" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT49" class="Object">Thursday</span></span> @ 12pm cst on <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT46" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT50" class="Object"><a href="http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself" target="_blank">http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself</a></span></span>) and Organizing Your life (<span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT47" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT51" class="Object">Thursday</span></span> @ 8pm cst on <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT48" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT52" class="Object"><a href="http://blogtalkradio.com/momscoffeebreak" target="_blank">http://blogtalkradio.com/momscoffeebreak</a></span></span>) I invite you to join me, my guest and Mom&#8217;s Coffee Break co-host because these are important topics for all working parents.</p>
<p>Personally, I am working on doing both and can&#8217;t wait to share some of the tips that I have learned along the way to be less stressed and more organized!</p>
<p>Whether we want it or not here comes fall and everything wonderful that it is bringing with it.</p>
<p>Wishing you and your families the best!</p>
<p><em>Coach Tonya Ramsey</em></p>

<p><strong>Double the Journey to Self this week</strong></p>
<p>This week there are TWO Journey to Self shows!</p>
<p>At JTS regular time 12pm cst / 1pm est author and speaker Elisabeth Fayt.</p>
<p>Elisabeth is an international speaker, owner of RnR Wellness, and bestselling author of the new book Paving it Forward. One of the featured speakers in the movie The Opus, Elisabeth is both a prominent abundance expert and a successful business woman.</p>
<p>Elisabeth formerly worked side by side with Canadian billionaire Ron Joyce. Through this work, Elisabeth spent time with top business leaders from around the world. She paid close attention and learned how to think abundantly and run a business successfully. Her own business, RnR Wellness has certainly been a success. The popular urban spa in Calgary also services high end hotels throughout Canada, with plans to expand into the US and overseas in the near future.</p>
<p>Elisabeth is an abundance coach and does workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements. These events, as well as her new bestselling book, Paving it Forward, focus on what Elisabeth calls pre-paving. This concept gives her students the tools they need to create a life of health, wealth, and love.</p>
<p>Elisabeth is also a Reiki master and has spent nearly two decades studying with the masters of India. It is her capacity to bridge the worlds of spirituality and business that has made her so incredibly successful.</p>
<p>Born in Waterloo, Ontario, Elisabeth currently lives in Calgary with her three children.</p>
<p>Join me <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT53" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT54" class="Object">Thursday</span></span> September 3rd as Elisabeth and I talk about her book, Paving it Forward as well as ways for parents to combat the back to school stress!</p>

<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>JTS Special Evening show at 6:30pm cst / 7:30pm est with Anna Dee Olson.</p>
<p>Being raised by Midwestern Amish parents Anna Dee Olson grew up understanding that life is meant to be difficult with very few days of pleasure. The rigid restrictions of her culture became harder to follow as Anna reached her teen years and the desires in her heart were leading her away from her family, community, and culture. She knew by following her desires the huge challenges she would encounter. For four years Anna struggled with what to do but at the age of 24 she finally made her first life changing decision based on what she wanted to do.</p>
<p>Anna was forced to choose between her family and the lifestyle she dreamed of living. Even though adapting to the new way of life (outside the sheltered box the Amish live) was a challenge, she kept her focus on her dream of peace at heart and serving others. After many trials and obstacles to overcome and</p>
<p>learning from her mistakes Anna understands that her past did not define who she is but prepared her to become the strong woman that she is <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT55" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT56" class="Object">today</span></span>.  In less than a year after leaving the Amish lifestyle behind Anna passed the test to get her High School Equivalence diploma. In the fall of 1993 Anna’s dream of going to college became a reality and she graduated with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in 2005.</p>
<p>During the past 16 years Anna was involved in Student Senate, Relay for Life, Madhatters Drama club, Women of <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT57" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT59" class="Object">Today</span></span> organization, and Toastmasters International.  <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT58" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT60" class="Object">Today</span></span> Anna’s motto is: &#8220;True forgiveness is a choice we all have.&#8221; Anna is a successful published Author and Public Speaker. She strongly believes in helping people through volunteering, sharing her experiences to help and inspire others,<br />
and to help the world understand the secretive life of the Amish culture.</p>
<p>Join me <span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT61" class="Object"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT62" class="Object">Thursday</span></span> September 3rd as Anna and I talk about her new book as well as her life growing up Amish.</p>

<strong><br />
Finding and Following Your Dreams</strong></p>
<p>We all have dreams. Dreams of what we want, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life. However there is an alarming rate of people that do not go after their dreams. For whatever reason something gets in the way - whether it is the day to day challenges of just living life or even our own self-doubt there are always obstacles that stand between us and our dreams. The key is what do we do when we are faced with that big brick wall, do we hurdled over it, walk around it or let it stop us from that dream on the other side.</p>
<p>This week on Mom’s Coffee Break we are talking about how we can make our dreams a reality and what usually stops us from living the life that we want. Joining us is Transformational Life Coach and Author of A Suitcase Full of Faith, Saskia Roell.</p>

<p><strong>A Suitcase Full of Faith on Journey to Self</strong></p>
<p>I am delighted to have author and coach Saskia Roell on Journey to Self this week.</p>
<p>As a Transformational Life Coach, Saskia guides with compassion, humor, wisdom, and commitment at the level of the Soul. The most powerful tool she offers is the example she sets in her life through the revelation of her own stories. She empowers others to live from the heart, find the courage to follow their dreams, and life their life purpose.</p>
<p>Saskia found her passion for empowering others while teaching at the Rijksuniversiteit of Groningen, in The Netherlands, as a member of the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the Department of Experimental Psychology. She has extensively studied the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the superconscious mind and how our unhealed emotions effect our destiny. She holds certificates in Naturopathy, Transformational Healing, Master Training in Integrative Life Healing Coaching, Advanced Hypnotherapy, Past Life and Age Regression, Somatic Healing, Birthing and Fertility Therapy.</p>
<p>In 2001 Saskia, her husband, and their five young children took a daring leap of faith, sold their house in Holland, and gave up their thriving businesses to explore new possibilities in the United States. With little money, no job prospects, no contacts and five kids who didn’t speak a word of English, they landed in a small town by the sea. It was a challenge of a lifetime. Saskia, however, trusted they could reinvent their lives at that moment. Her book, A Suitcase Full of Faith is about the grand adventure of that move and the example she set of trusting in the face of great challenges.</p>
<p>Join me Thursday August 13th as Saskia Roell and I talk about her book and how trust and faith can transform your life!</p>

Finding Yourself on Journey to Self this Week</strong></p>
<p>This week I am joined by author Martin &#8220;Mark&#8221; Tomback.  His book, Spiriting Around: A Modern Guide to Finding Yourself, offers a practical approach to life’s challenges.</p>
<p>Mark has over 35 years experiences in spiritual studies.  From an early inclination as a youngster he’s explored a variety of spiritual paths always looking for the common thread tying them together.  His conclusion: Spirit is our birthright no matter how we interpret God.  And every spiritual path has at its center a desire to know more about ourselves and our responsibilities to life.  Mark currently lives in South Florida with his family.</p>
<p>Spiriting Around, isn’t another sea-foam-on-the-beach type book.  It is about real life from a spiritual standpoint.  That when you get that working for your, everything else gets easier.  And there’s nothing you need that you don’t already have.  You just have to learn how to work with what you’ve got.</p>
<p>Join me Thursday July 29th as Mark Tomback and I talk about his book and how to learn to work with what you’ve got to find yourself!</p>

<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Happy Birthday U.S.A</strong></p>
<p>Tomorrow most of us will be grilling out and lighting fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July.  As you break out the red, white, and blue - take a moment to think about all the freedoms that get taken for granted.  Through out our great country&#8217;s history there are men and women that stood up for those very rights, that worked tirelessly to right wrongs and to improve life for Americans - some gave their lives and some continue to give their lives to protect all that we hold dear.</p>
<p>My challenge to all of you is to spend some time thinking about what you can do to make a difference in our country.</p>
<p>Whether it is joining the school board, volunteering at a local shelter, or organizing a fundraiser in your community - the smallest action can be a catalyst for positive change.</p>
<p>Never underestimate the power that each of us have to facilitate change in the world that we live in.  Because those great men and women that came before us never did!</p>
<p>I wish to all of you and your families a happy, fun and safe 4th of July.</p>

<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p><strong>Be a Victorious Woman!</strong></p>
<p>Journey to Self has a fantastic show for this week!  We will be talking about being a victorious woman and joining me this week is Annmarie Kelly.</p>
<p>Annmarie is an author, speaker, trainer and victory strategist. She is the founder and principal of SkillBuilder Systems. Founded in 1994, the consulting company specializes in interpersonal communications and personal performance improvement.</p>
<p>In her Victorious Woman Workshops, she facilitates a process through which women learn how to choose and develop more satisfying and authentic lifestyles, beginning with awareness and progressing through actions that result in a victorious outcome.</p>
<p>Kelly is the author of Victorious Woman! Shaping Life’s Challenges into Personal Victories. She is also the author of numerous articles on a variety of topics such as emotional intelligence, goal achievement, behavior-focused performance improvement and women and life balance. Her articles have appeared in numerous publications, including: Performance in Practice, Dietary Manager, Smart Business Now, Massage Magazine, Entrepreneurial Edge and The Greater Philadelphia Resource.</p>
<p>Kelly is an active member of the National Speakers Association (NSA), the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), and the Brandywine Valley Alliance of Coaches. She is a frequent presenter at local and national women’s conferences including the Delaware Women’s Conference, ASTD Leadership Conference, Clemson University’s Professional Development for Women Conferences, Wilmington Women in Business, and Berks County’s Paving the Way Conference.</p>
<p>In addition to her professional credits, Kelly claims her own victories over early familial dysfunctions that included alcoholism and sibling abuse, teenage overweight that resulted in self-image issues and paralyzing shyness, as well as later financial devastation and emotional loss. Her decision to write Victorious Woman! resulted from an unusual – and now resolved – health problem that had her and her doctors confused. The traumatic episode pushed Kelly to question her own strength and ability to face a potentially life-threatening disease.</p>
<p>Kelly currently lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania, with her spouse, Joseph Eagle. She finds her greatest joys come from ballroom dancing and traveling with Joseph (especially to Downeast Maine), an eclectic choice of music, reading mystery novels, soaking in the beauty of nature and being in the company of her good friends.</p>
<p>Join me Thursday May 7th as Annmarie and I talk about &#8220;Victorious Woman&#8221; month, the &#8220;Victorious Woman&#8221; essay contest (<a href="http://www.victoriouswoman.com/vwcontest.htm" target="_blank">http://www.victoriouswoman.com/vwcontest.htm</a>), and how to start living and thinking victoriously!  Listen live at 10am pst / 11am mnt / 12pm cst / 1pm est on Blog Talk Radio ~ <a href="http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself" target="_blank">http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself</a></p>
<p>You can join the chat room during the show, use the &#8220;click to talk&#8221; feature, or call in (347) 215-8942 with your comments or questions.</p>
