Nov 23: 1] Infinite Possibilities 2] Thrive & Lose lbs During the Holidays! ~ PODCAST

Have you ever felt that everyone knew something you didn’t? That you were … different? Mike Dooley’s quest for answers led to his knowing that our dreams are not accidental. And later in the show, what’s a weight-loss artist and why does she give away free kick’s-in-the-tush? Here’s a hint. Janice Taylor says you can be thinner at the end of the holiday season, than you are now!

Infinite Possibilities is Mike Dooley’s manifesto; he says our dreams are not accidental, but serve as invitations to understand the truth about ourselves, hinting at the lives we can create. Dooley explains that our “default settings” are abundance, health, and harmony, and that once we grasp the truth about our potential, it becomes evident that life itself is the ultimate adventure. After six-years with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Mike Dooley went into business with his mother and brother, before closing shop at 40 to embark on his third career—a full time writer. He was featured in the movie, The Secret and you can find out more about Mike at Totally Unique Thoughts.

Weight loss artist, Janice Taylor, says heck “NO!” . She did not wake one morning with a smile on her face and enthusiastically say, “Whoopee, I’m fatter than ever. I’ll go on a diet. This will be fun!” Instead, she rolled out of bed, pulled up her size XXL elastic-waisted pants and found even those were tight. That was 8 years and a good 50lbs ago. Janice Taylor is a weight loss coach, certified hypnotist, and Neuro-Linguistic Practioner, specializing in reinvention and transformation. She has been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, New York Times, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Chicago Sun Times, LA Times, CNN.com, webMD.com, Fitness and Health magazine.
