The word abandonment conjures up children left at birth, fathers packing up and moving out, sudden lovers betraying one another’s hearts, and sudden death. But abandonment breaks our hearts in subtle ways, too, as when we are not recognized for our accomplishments, dismissed by a friend, or not invited to a party. The Abandonment Recovery Workbook: Guidance through the Five Stages of Healing from Abandonment, Heartbreak, and Loss emerged from author Susan Anderson‘s thirty years in the field of abandonment recovery, including founding the Abandonment Recovery movement, as well as from her personal healing experience. Susan is the founder of the Outer Child and Abandonment Recovery movements, and has devoted three decades of clinical experience and research to helping people resolve abandonment and overcome self-sabotage.

Troublemaker is a gripping, emotionally intense novel of intrigue,romance, love and danger… along with a generous helping of action-adventure. Author Linda Howard and her husband, a “Bass Master”, run a cattle farm. (“Professional fishing has taken us to some of the worst places on earth!”) She is an award winning and NY Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Menopause is something that affects every woman, with no exceptions, but it doesn’t have to be a “one size fits all” treatment experience as each of our bodies are different and react differently. As one of the nation’s leading experts on menopause and the director of the Women’s Health Clinic in the Department of Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Stephanie Faubion wrote Mayo Clinic The Menopause Solution: A Doctor’s Guide to: Relieving Hot Flashes, Enjoying Better Sex, Sleeping Well, Controlling Your Weight, and Being Happy! to give you peace of mind on everything from perimenopause to postmenopause, and debunking common myths. Dr. Faubion uses the most up-to-date research and also confronts the controversial topic of hormone therapy.

Women’s Health Magazine asked relationship Psychiatrist Grant Brenner, MD, what’s off limits when trying to comfort a friend that just got dumped. “Avoid saying anything that could leave your friend feeling guilty, ashamed, or to blame for the split,” he replied, and in Irrelationship: How We Use Dysfunctional Relationships to Hide from Intimacy, he and his coauthors delve into the best ways to console a heart broken friend without relying on pandering, stereotypical responses like getting drunk, or how it wasn’t meant to be. Dr. Brenner is an Assistant Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Department of Psychiatry, and has a private practice in New York City.

Mar 14: 1] Clarifying Clarity 2] Think Rich Bitch

Let go of the past, stop putting your dreams on the backburner, and become satisfied even when things are not “just right” with author and life coach Diane Altomare‘s Clarity: Ten Proven Strategies to Transform Your Life. We’ll talk about transference, negativity in relationships, what self-abandonment means and why we do it. And how to create our own extraordinary opportunities.

Diane Altomare is an integrative life coach and keynote speaker at lectures and events around the country, splitting her time between sunny Southern California and rainy Seattle — the best of both worlds.

Returning guest Nicole Lapin, author of Rich Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan for Getting Your Financial Life Together… Finally says her work resonates with Americans because, “I don’t speak in jargon. I didn’t work at a bank; I didn’t get my MBA. I’m just a girl who grew up in an immigrant family and learned the hard way … I went to the money school of hard knocks.”

We’ll share why it’s not about a budget, it’s about a spending plan … and NO you don’t have to give up your morning latte. Why women should stop smiling and nodding. And why it’s so important for women to control their own financial situations.  Nicole Lapin is the first woman to hold the title of GOBankingRates’ Best Money Expert of 2015.  She was also the youngest anchor ever at CNN, before holding the same title at CNBC anchoring “Worldwide Exchange”.
