Chats that encourage women to live well

  This year's-end feature, with guest Kristi Bennett, is Living Well's  farewell episode.  Together, they will look back on the year as well as their friendship, speaking heart to heart to one another and all who will find themselves tuned in. Kristi is a life-long resident of Indianapolis, Indiana.  She is currently enjoying retirement from a very vibrant career in insurance and software development and teaches a weekly Bible Study.  Along with her husband (Todd) of 32 years, they have raised two great children and plan to travel, post pandemic.   Call in during the broadcast with your questions and comments at (845) 277-9410.  While Living Well  has come to its end, a new program is in the making and will launch the first part of Spring, 2021. My heartfelt thanks to all who have joined me at Living Well, segment after segment.  It has been a sheer joy for me and our guests to sit with you and to also have you share in some of my personal struggles and triumphs.     Thank you, from my heart to yours!      ~ Zenobia

Jamila April Johnson, a professionally trained and licensed Massage Practitioner and licensed Esthetician is my next guest. Jamila prides herself in providing her clients’ massage sessions from holistic client centered approach.  When asked what differentiates her from other massage practices, she quickly says, “I enjoy sharing with clients my unique massage style, which is very fluid and is best described as a strong yet loving touch.”  I met her response with a broad smile because, from first hand experience, I know this to be true. Jamila is founder, owner, and operator of Beautiful Awakenings, located in Tukwila, WA.  However, her commitment to her clients spans to include a special assisted living community in Tacoma, WA as well. Join us on Friday, October 2nd at 3:30, PST.  You can call in during the broadcast with your questions and comments at: (516) 418.5765.

Charlene Kay Fouts, founder of Healing Acres Never Again (HANA) is today's guest. Fouts, who was the victim of abuse after abuse is certainly not a victim today.  In fact, she is a flourishing and forceful advocate, assisting victims and others who have been involved in various painful experiences, to rise above the experience and thrive.  While HANA addresses various types of trauma, the organization focuses on recovery for people who have experienced incest, domestic violence, sexual abuse, rape, and abortion. All too often, these traumas, and others, are left unchecked and lie dormant until a circumstance in life draws them out, usually in the form of nightmares, addictions, or unhealthy patterns.    In Fouts’ own words, “There’s not one of us that does not have hurts and pains that are sometimes bigger than us.  We try to ignore it or excuse that it really isn’t that bad, but the pain is there, even if we don’t understand it.” "The storms we experience in life either build or break us. They ultimately forge our character, build our inner strength, and create our foundation in life, as well as our faith in God." Charlene can be reached at (813) 577-2747 or charlenekay@healingacresneveragain.org Website  https://www.healingacresneveragain.org  

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) reports splatter our televisions, radios, computers, phones, newsletters, newspapers, and magazines.  In some parts of the country, we enter stores only to find empty shelves.  Travelers return from cruises to find themselves quarantined.  We even hear of coughing individuals being asked to deboard their plane. Some predict that this is the beginning of a panademic, while others adamantly proclaim it to be yet another hype situation; one that is very much misleading.  This segment of Living Well encourages us to embrace the seriousness of the need for cleanliness and self-care at the most basic levels. Living Well examines everyday concerns with a focus on women. Relationships, responsibilities, personal safety, health and wellness, nutrition supplementation, exercise and fitness, skin care, retirement, and residual income streams are among the many topics that will be explored.

Are you one to see a bowl that is not totally filled with your favorite salad or soup as having a degree of emptiness or fullness?  Some would say that the bowl is half or almost full, while others would view it as half or almost empty.  What is it that causes us to form these very different views of sometimes similar and often the same circumstance?  Life Coach, Maquestia Grigsby, Quest Coaching and Motivation, LLC,  returns Friday, February 7th to help us unpack this and more.  Mind-set and self-talk are closely connected.  We will explore how a positive mind-set and self-talk sets us up for healthy relationships and outcomes, including those with ourselves.  On the other hand, negative mind-sets and self-talk breed the opposite results.  There is also much to be said for how we view and, ultimately, handle set-backs and failure.   As always, you are invited to call in during the broadcast with your questions or comments at:  (646) 716.8344. Feel free to contact Maquestia via email at: maquestiagriggsby@gmail.com.  

I am very excited to introduce a much loved and wonderful man who happens to be my senior pastor.  He is Dr. Gary Gulbranson of Westminster Chapel in Bellevue, Washington.  Pastor Gary has faithfully served Westminster for twenty seven years and although he is nearing retirement from this particular ministry, in my heart of hearts, I know that he and his wife Jorie will continue in the Lord's service until their respective sunsets.  The subjects for today's podcast, Hope and Love, are often pondered and discussed.  However, I've asked Pastor Gary to unpack these for us from a biblical perspective.  When we look around, there doesn't appear to be much of either in our world.  It's very easy to ask, Where is the Hope and Where is the Love?  As an old-time favorite TV show use to say, Kick your shoes off and stay awhile. Folks, let's prepare to receive some food for thought and our souls. To learn more about Westminster Chapel,  visit: https://www.westminster.org  Or, send me an email with your comments to: zenobiabailey1@aol.com.  Please be sure to place Living Well Podcast in the subject line.

Tomorrow is the official start of Winter and with it often comes what has become known as the Winter Blues.  Christmas, and all of its festivities, is just five (5) days away.  Unfortunately, it has become more and more commercialized.  This year proves to be no different, dwarfing its true meaning; one of love and sacrifice for the world versus getting and giving the "perfect gift" which, more times than not, leaves bank accounts in the red. As daylight savings time reduces the daylight and the amount of time folks are outdoors, a type of depression known as seasonal emotional disorder surfaces; just around the time of Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwaanza.  Other concerns that contribute to this soar during these holidays and their celebrations include loneliness, economic struggles, fatigue, family disputes, and the loss of loved ones. Our guest, Maquestia Griggsby, will walk us through ways to recognize and combat these Blues. Griggsby holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University in Kansas City, MO.  She is a certified life coach and enjoys helping others discover how to achieve their personal and professional goals.    In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, having quiet time, salsa dancing, cooking, learning Spanish, and writing blogs about various motivational and health related topics.  She is the proud mom of a highly creative teenage son, who loves writing, music, and expressing himself through videography. You are invited to call in during the broadcast with your questions and comments at: (646) 716.8344. Feel free to contact Maquestia via email at: maquestiagriggsby@gmail.com.

Welcome everyone.  Today's broadcast is earlier in the day than usual.  Thank you, for your indulgences, whenever I need them, to accommodate my schedule. Once again, I must ask, How did we get to the middle of November so quickly?  In just seven days, we will celebrate the fourth Thursday in the month, known as Thanksgiving Day, here in the US.  It is also the time of year when many of us at least think about how we might enjoy all of the food that somehow finds itself tempting our tastebuds, everywhere we turn. To assist us with this goal, I'd like to remind you and myself of the value that fruit and raw veggies offer us.  The selections are endless.  Dress things up by selecting from the full range of colors... purples, reds, greens, white, yellows and more. If desired, make or purchase your favorite full bodied salad dressing for dipping.  In addition to these delicacies helping to minimize extra calories, they are a great source of much needed fiber. Enjoy whatever you do and I look forward to sharing our next segment of Living Well with YOU.  Until then,         ~ Zenobia

Today, I am merely introducing our next topic as I am still working out the details with our guest.  My first of two questions is where would we all be if we were unable to communicate?  Are we communicating effectively? At its most basic level, communication is the transmission of information, by at least one  sender and receiver.   While there are debates as to whether or not there are 4, 5, and even 6 types of communication, for the pupose of the next couple of episodes we are going to stick with the four: verbal, nonverbal, written and visual. We will be chatting with guests who will talk to us about the importance and dynamics of effective communication both in personal relationships and the workplace; examining the impact of our ever evolving technology.  I look forward to a lively conversation next time. Until then, take care!

Today's episode pre-empts the planned topic. After seeing MSNBC's Last Word, last night, especially in light of the fact that September is National Suicide Awareness Month, we are lookiing at our children and the crisis that is brewing; at the hands of us all.  As a reminder, Living Well is dedicated to examining everyday concerns, such as relationships, responsibilities, personal safety, and health and wellness.  Today's segment addresses each of these.  As always, you are invited to call in during the broadcast (646) 716.8344.

Jay Inslee, governor of Washington announced that he was stepping aside from his bid for the democratic presidential nominee.  He had been running as a single issue candidate.  Inslee's website, now removed, stated: Heknows that defeating climate change is the defining challenge of our time and that it must be the foremost priority for the next president. Devastating disasters and rising pollution have claimed lives, cost the economy billions and threatened the places Americans live, work and raise families.

Earth Day is Monday, April 22nd. Each year, this time presents the perfect opportunity to inventory our lives with the purpose of reducing  and/or removing toxic ingredients.  Personal and home care products tend to get examined a little more intensely around Earth Day.  Today's show serves as an audio Primer, identifying a few of the major ingredients to avoid.

Today's episode unveils a combination of some of  Zenobia's personal reflections; both recent and long-standing. One, in particular, is the Kinder and Gentler Campaign, that she is asking her audience to help her advance. Another is the "glass ceiling" that has been imposed on all of us, while the glass escalator and elevator  have been designed for many of our counterparts.  If the "ceiling," real or perceived, is a factor in your life, you will find this broadcast encouraging.  Call in during the broadcast with your questions and comments (646) 716.8344.

Looking Back Helps Us to Look Ahead Martin Luther King, Jr, depended on God through great struggles and trials, during and to the end of his lifetime.     Today, we’re entangled in all kinds of struggles, trials, and wars; at home and abroad. Of late, we all stand by and watch while thousands upon thousands, who were gainfully employed, continue to be the pawns of our government’s shutdown. And, there are our individual challenges. The world, in utter chaos, is on a collision course.  Yet, there’s still ONE who remains faithful; ONE who will see anyone who allows Him, to walk with them through these and all storms as well as the joys of life. He promises to do so. A recent joy is one where I was selected to be a part of an International group of women forThe You Deserve Only The BESTSummit.  This event started January 11th and will last thru January 25th.  There’s still time to get your pass to the link by going to https://www.you-deserve-only-the-best.com.

Drinking plenty of water is one of the best things we can do for our overall health. In addition to the 8, 10, even 12 glasses a day, intake at strategic times of the day, proves helpful.  For instance, a glass or two after waking helps activate internal organs. Other suggestions include drinking: a glass 30 minutes before a meal to help digestion; a glass right before taking a bath helps lower blood pressure; a glass before going to bed helps avoid a stroke or heart attack; and a glass or two in the event of a charlie horse helps relieve its cramps.

Oxidative stress occurs in our bodies when our cells and tissues are oxidized.  Too much oxygen compromises the body's ability to recycle and recover from free radicals; the oxygen molecules that can potentially cause us damage.  The effect of this damage is often likened to the corrosion properties of rust.  In fact, there's even a concept that neurodegenerative diseases stem from oxidative stress; referred to as brain rust. Join me July 17th, at 3:30pm PST, when I introduce ways we can "rustproof" ourselves.  Call in on (646) 716-8344 during the show or feel free to leave a comment (below) or send an email to: naturallyhealthyandgreen@gmail.com    Voice mail messages can be left at: 650.741.4137 and you may visit my online wellness market for your natural nutritional supplements, 24/7.  

Strong and empowered are two highly charged words, one an adjective and the other a verb, that give meaning to what's required for one to break away from negative influences.  Girl Talk, Incorporated, headed by Sonya Cooke, is a non-profit organization in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Girl Talk's mission is to equip young girls with life skills that will allow them to become successful in achieving their personal and professional goals.  A strong advocate and active participant of volunteerism, Sonya serves a number of organizations.  Among them are Project Home Indy, Girl's Inc., Visions Summer Beauty camp, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.  So, 'What does this have to do with relationships and negative influences,' you might ask. I invite you to join us Monday, June 26th at 3:30 pm, PST/6:30 pm, EST to hear directly from Ms. Cooke who has much to share on the matter.  This particular show returns to its original 30 minute format.  You can learn more about Ms. Cooke at:  sonyacookethementor.com   Feel free to leave a comment or send an email to: naturallyhealthyandgreen@gmail.com  You can also leave a voice mail at: 650.741.4137.

Over the years, too many of us have allowed fruit and vegetables to slip, or at least decrease, from our tables.  They are, however, rapidly regaining popularity as many of us are actively assuming more personal responsibility for our health. Join me Tuesday, June 13th for the final segment of The sheer essence of fruit and vegetable goodness.  This segment features strawberries, blackberries, and gooseberries.   Feel free to leave a comment or send an email, after the show to: naturallyhealthyandgreen@gmail.com If you'd like to purchase natural and clinically proven food supplements from the number one nutritional company in the US, please visit http:zen.myshaklee.com

Cynthia Young revisits Living Well to share selections from Cynthology: A Collection of Rhymes.  Young has actually authored three separate books in her Cynthology collection.  Book 2 is entitled, Electrified and Book 3, Shades of Cyn.   Memoirs of a Caregiver was featured on our last podcast.  Cynthia shared her journey as a caregiver to four family members stricken with Alzheimer’s disease.  If you missed it, you will want to go to the archives.  She provides encouragement and insight into how the disease progresses and gradually destroys the memory and abilities to learn, reason, make sound judgments, communicate, and carry out daily activities.        The end of today's broadcast was interrupted but here's how you can reach Cynthia and/or purchase her work: Phone: (951) 205-9810 Fax:  (951) 371-6707 E-mail: cyoungbooks@gmail.com Memoirs of a Caregiver available at: www.iuniverse.com www.amazon.com  www.barnesandnoble.com  www.googleplaystore.com Cynthology: A Collection of Rhymes available at: www.authorhouse.com www.amazon.com  www.barnesandnoble.com  www.googleplaystore.com  

Cynthia Young is a published author who currently resides in Southern California.  She will be our guest on consecutive programs, September 12th and again September 26th.  Both podcasts will focus on her helpful literary contributions. Cynthia wrote Memoirs of a Caregiver to share her journey as a caregiver to four family members stricken with Alzheimer’s disease.  Being a long distance caregiver comes with many challenges and Young writes about them and the struggles and triumphs that she encountered along the way.  Three other books chronicle life, as she sees it, via collections of rhyme. For most families, having just one member afflicted with Alzheimer's can be devastating. In her poignant memoir, Cynthia shares her story of love and devotion as she learns how to care for four family members stricken with Alzheimer's disease, over a ten-year period. Young narrates a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and sorrow as she commutes from California to Michigan to care for her mother, two aunts, and a cousin. She provides insight into how the disease progresses and gradually destroys the memory and abilities to learn, reason, make sound judgments, communicate, and carry out daily activities.  Join us as we have an open and candid discussion that will extend beyond the normal 15 minute segment. During Cynthia's second appearance, we will look forward to her unraveling some of the rhymes found in her first collection, Cynthology: A Collection of Rhymes.   

Lynda Cheldelin Fell, an award-winning and international bestselling author, also creator of the 5-star book series Grief Diaries, will be my guest, Monday, August 15th, 3:30 PST.  A pioneer in the field of inspirational hope in the aftermath of loss, Lynda has a passion for producing trailblazing projects that create a legacy of help, healing, and hope.  In 2007, Lynda had a vivid dream of her daughter drowning in a car accident, leaving behind a book floating on the water where she disappeared. Two years later, Lynda’s nightmare became reality when her 15-year-old daughter Aly died in a car accident, coming home from a swim meet.  Less than three years later, Lynda’s 46-year-old husband suffered a terrible stroke, leaving him permanently disabled. ?Lynda’s hardships transformed her entire perspective on life. She found that helping others was a powerful way to heal her own heart. She founded AlyBlue Media in 2013 to house her growing endeavors spanning radio, film, inspirational events, and writing. Now home to over 400 writers, AlyBlue Media produces Lynda’s 5-star Grief Diaries, dedicated to sharing remarkable stories about real life experiences. She has authored over 17 titles and is a contributing commentator to the national network TheBlaze. She has interviewed Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton; sisters of the late Nicole Brown Simpson; Dr. Martin Luther King’s daughter, Dr. Bernice King, and other societal newsmakers on finding healing, hope and purpose through real life experiences.&n

How often do you consider the status of your feet?  The fact of the matter is that we overuse and often, even abuse them on a daily basis.   This is a show that you will not want to miss.  Our special guest is a foot and ankle specialist.  Dr. Jacqueline Buckley holds a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Degree from New York College of Podiatric Medicine and attended residencies at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY and South Jersey Regional Center in Vineland, NJ.  She has extensive training in foot and ankle surgery, Podiatric medicine, and wound care.  Dr. Buckley will discuss the importance of foot care in general and particularly why we need to pay attention to this aspect of our health, as we age.   She is with the Integrative Foot and Ankle Centers of Washington.  Offices are located in Kirkland, Everett, and Renton, WA.

Many of our societal ills that were attacked a decade or two ago have not only re-surfaced but are on the uprise.  Among them is the staggering statistic revealing that 75% of those over the age of 65, living in poverty, are women.  Michelle Dean, a licensed, registered representative with New York Life Insurance, will be our guest on Monday, April 25th.  Michelle has spent most of her lifetime being self-employed in one form or another. She believes money is a tool without a manual.  Unfortunately, she says, "most of us aren’t taught (by someone who knows what they are doing) the proper ways to utilize this tool."  Michelle is also the founder of WHOW (Women Helping Other Women), born to provide an opportunity for women to be inspired and motivated to take some action toward their goals and desires in life.   Join us on the 25th at 3:30 pm, PST to learn what you can do to avoid becoming one of the statistics or to help remove yourself from the current roll. Call in during the show with questions or comments at (646) 716-8344.  Listen to the archive at http://tobtr.com/8699249.   Feel free to contact Michelle at the following:  www.michelledean.nylagents.com www.facebook.com/mdeanNYLagent   mdean@ft.newyorklife.com  or (209) 743-2223.

A retired teacher for disabled adults, Anita Beck has always loved sewing and interior design.  From both "loves," Nickky's Niche Designs was born.   As women, we generally seem to have a need for comfort and functionality.  We see this when we consider the rooms we use the most and the clothing we wear the most. In response to these perceived needs, Anita created a line of garments that are not only wrinkle resistant but also comfortable and flattering for today's active lifestyles. Each of her designs, including dresses, skirts, slacks, shawls, vests, jackets, and formal wear, is hand created. Anita says, "my designs travel well and so do I.  As a mobile boutique, I can bring the store right to your door." Room makeovers are another aspect of her overall dynamic creations where she implements the same design concepts of fun, comfort, affordability, and functionality.  Anita says she feels blessed to be able to do the things she enjoys.    To preview Nikky's Niche Designs, please visit www.nikky'sniche.net.  Then, join our podcast Monday, April 11th at 3:30 pm, PST.  To speak directly with Anita, during the show, phone (646) 716-8344.
