Kristine has been gone for most the last week traveling up north. Mostly work related stuff for the business and a visit to her family. Kris had to deal with the kids this weekend while forcing them to get haircuts before school starts up again. This week we were joined by Sharon Silver. Her childhood led to her parenting in ways she didn't like. However, the lightbulb moments from her childhood led to a lifelong dedication to solving the biggest challenges parents have and resulted in my pursuit of an education in parenting, early childhood development, and interpersonal dynamics.

She's taken the BEST of the strategies and skills she learned, coupled them with proven mindful psychology and child development, and created real-life solutions that aren't fluff; they work for today's parents.

‘The best bitch is Margie Boule!” How's that for a tease?! Now you must listen to the podcast to learn why Margie shared that announcement with me (wait for it). Margie and Jim Bosley were the ground-breaking hosts of KATU's AM Northwest, starting in 1977. Here Margie recounts an awkward start, but they grew to have wonderful chemistry on the air, and were lifetime friends. Margie spent more than two decades as a columnist for the Oregonian. We discuss the column she wrote about me and my fledgling comedy career. Unfortunately, several times in her career, she was subject to discrimination and some horrible harassment. Fortunately she is a survivor and talks now about the lessons for all of us.

Helen Raptis started like many of us. Got her foot in the door & said "I'll do anything." And she has-- receptionist, actress, artist, news, features, sports, & for the last two decades host of AM Northwest. I hosted with her for a couple years. What a blast. Re-live the Denis Leary/raspberry jam story, and the last minute, "mega star" guest she didn't know one iota. You can stream Helen's one-woman show "At Wits End" at www.fiveohm.tv .

Kelly Marie Hoffman Interview Show Notes“What we focus on grows.” All of us are in relationships -- with ourselves first, then family, friends, loved ones. How do we change those relationships and patterns if they are negative? It starts with a mindset shift. Renowned relationship coach Kelly Marie Hoffmanshares valuable insight to help us value ourselves and transform our lives.Kelly Quotes:“When you have a gold standard, if something tarnishes it, that becomes really clear.” –Kelly Marie Hoffman“If no one believed in you or taught you what a confident woman looks like, you feel like you’re standing on the outside of the confident women club. The goal is for all of us to not settle for being treated in a way that doesn’t honor who we are.” –Kelly Marie Hoffman“Instead of focusing on fixing a problem in your relationship or life, focus on the outcome you want. Then there are no problems!” -Kelly Marie Hoffman“Develop a pain radar – not a pain thermometer.” –Kelly Marie Hoffman“Mindset – when we expect to be treated well, the world responds accordingly.” –Kelly Marie Hoffman“Finding a phenomenal fit partner is one of the most life-changing things people can do” – Kelly Marie Hoffman“Yes, this painful event happened. What life am I going to build out of this?” –Kelly Marie Hoffman“If something’s not working in your relationship or your life, it’s a skillset upgrade.” -Kelly Marie Hoffman70 percent of communication is nonverbal.· Kelly is Elaina’s relationship coach! Kelly is an incredible, compassionate human being! Kelly Marie is a sought-after Mentor, Coach and Speaker, and also an ABC TV personality, appearing for over 10 years on the morning show, AM Northwest.· Kelly’s background: She’s a New Englander, now lives in the Pacific Northwest, got her Master’s in Marriage and Family therapy and is a relationship coach. She was seeing clients having relationship issues. After dating horribly, teaching herself concepts and finding success with her husband, Kelly had a mentor, then as a therapist, her clients wanted to find a partner, so she started teaching people – referred friends and it grew. She loves it, it’s the most life changing thing people can do, life can be heavy – there can be a phenomenal fit partner for you, not a perfect person.· How did Kelly get to the point of a mindset shift? In high school, she knew she was attractive and smart and but she wasn’t treated that way. Mindset – people feel a certain way about themselves and it creates a pain radar. Then, if someone treats them poorly, they expect the world will treat them well and the world responds accordingly. “Negative mindset: you’re thinking and believing something about yourself that does not enable you to be your best self.”· Kelly grew up with the mindset, “Be as pleasant as possible to men so they’ll like you.” We think the reason a relationship is not working is we need to do more. This is a choice belief. I get to help women see they should be treasured. The “frog and the pot,” analogy, when you think it’s normal for someone to stonewall, you can’t take any steps, but you can identify and recognize a mindset shift.· Power of mindset with Kelly’s clients – she hears in her clients’ voices when they make the mindset shift. “I deserve to be treated well, and I don’t have to try to fix things” -- within months they are in a good fit relationship.· 70 percent of communication is nonverbal. “You’re going to have to treat me well and here are the ways you can treat me well.” A man sometimes thinks: she’s not going to call me on my hooey. But men who want a real goddess who is passionate and connected, sure of herself, giving off positive nonverbal communication points, are drawn to women who know their value, and they find each other well.· Kelly’s middle school dating: girls were allowed to go out with someone as long as they went out 2 months or more with the same guy, not just date casually for a meal, a fun outing, etc, or they were labelled, but how do you know what works for you if you don’t try meeting different people? Then we get stuck in a bad fit. Dating culture starts early, taught to feel guilty, being unfaithful to someone we don’t even know. Dating is a newer cultural phenomenon, only in the last 100 years, never before do we have more choices.· If no one believed in you or taught you what a confident woman looks like, you feel like you’re standing on the outside of the confident women club. The goal is for all of us to not settle for being treated in a way that doesn’t honor who we are. This also helps vetting friendships.· When your mindset is, “What am I doing wrong?” respond differently. I’m perfect the way I am, calm centered, everything is ok. Ask, “Do I need to make this situation change?”· Tony Robbins – what you focus on grows. Example as a mom to sons: “Don’t put dirty socks there!” Vs. “Dirty socks go here.” We don’t want the hay; we are looking for the needle; get tools to make it go faster.· Don’t focus on “There are no good men out there.” Our brain is a willing slave but not an intelligent one. If we say, “I’m not going to date atheists or dishonest guys,” they tend to show up. However, you can tell them what you want. Come up with core values, 3 characteristics. Laser focus: I want a man that treats me this way this way, honest man, rather than looking for a man who doesn’t lie. “When you have a gold standard, if something tarnishes it, that becomes really clear.”· How can we set ourselves up for success and focus on the celebration? Focus on the outcome that we want. It’s time to say my, I was in an accident, leg isn’t going to work, what life am I going to build around this, what outcome? Nothing makes us feel worse than talking about a problem – in a relationship a guy knows he did wrong and women tend to want to discuss that to death. A way to get around that is to give them skills.· A client had a hard time asking for what she wants and needs. Instead of a long conversation she could say, “Could you please do this?” He can say yes or no. If we did not have a nurturing childhood, our 4-year-old is scared they won’t give it to us. But we can be the adult for our inner 4-year-old! Kelly shares an example with her husband, a conflict cancelling a double date when her husband’s father came to town early; she was the 4-year old! She was creating the problem, argument. Focus on the outcome you want, not fixing the problem; then there are no problems!· Takeaway: If something is not working in your relationship or your life: it’s a skillset upgrade. Up-level your life. The core of who you are is so wonderful, you have the ability to change things, but you are great just who you are!Own Your Love Life FB pageWebsite: Kelly Hoffman You can contact relationship coach Kelly, request a free phone consultation, watch her master class and get more information.

~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #180 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio The year 2017 has been dedicated to living a year of quality here on TSLL. While at the core of living simply luxuriously is to focus on quality rather than quantity, I wanted to take time each month this year to focus on one aspect in our lives in which we could amplify the quality and eliminate the extra. Each month we've addressed one area in which to amp up the quality in your life. Beginning in January, the topic was to reduce or eliminate entirely one food or food type that does not serve you well, and you can view the entire list of topic for each month here.

~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #172 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio "For me, style is zee whole package: how you dress, talk, move and behave. It all goes together into that first-impression equation. It shouldn't be confused with chic; an extremely chic or well-dressed woman may have zero sense of style. Style is definitely more about who the person is inside. Confidence and individuality are two strong assets for developing your personal style. Can it be taught? To a certain extent, yes, but at the end of the day it has to do a lot with being bien dans sa peau, knowing thyself and having balance in one's life." —Mireille Guiliano, Women, Work & the Art of Savoir Faire With a new season of clothing and a new season at work as we all return from rest and relaxation, some of us from travels, some of us simply from a lighter schedule or at least different one as we work with everyone else's change of schedules during the summer months. As is the case, the shift provides an opportunity to reassess, restructure, edit and start fresh or press restart. Mireille Guiliano is often a woman I look to for inspiration when it comes to living well and finding success in a career in equal proportion. In her book Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire, she speaks to the goal of attaining one's unique style and therefore presence as we go about our work days, meeting potential clients, customers or fellow colleagues. Inspired by the quote above, I created my own list of prepping for September as I too will be heading back into my teaching schedule and always am I re-examining how to refine my way of living to elevate the quality as summer ends and fall begins. So often summer provides an opportune time to reflect, recharge, reassess what is and isn't working and come to the end of August with ideas. Let's take a look at six ways to refine your Style: 1. Select and keep quality As was discussed last Thursday with Helen Raptis on AM Northwest regarding curating a Capsule Wardrobe, when we welcome quality we save ourselves time and money in the long run as well as elevate our confidence as we have selected items that work best with our bodies and lifestyle. As well, selecting quality comes into play when we select our words, select the food we enjoy, select the people we welcome into our inner circle, select how we spend our free time. I will admit I need my television show GGTD on Bravo from time to time to unwind and just tune out, but I also have a news magazine to read, PBS saved as one of my favorite channels and a book offering knowledge I hadn't yet absorbed. Today, examine your life. Where is the quality and what is standing in its way? What feeds you in a way that lifts you up, reinvigorates you and cultivates enthusiasm to live and live well? Sometimes things, people, ways of thinking enter our mind over a period of time, months, etc. that as we contemplate them, do not serve us well. It's hard to notice at first because it's gradual, but over time, we can compare the before and after and recognize a decline in the quality of our energy, excitement, hope, health or anything that we wish to strengthen. Look where you feel depleted and ask why. Often the answer is to eliminate something that is no longer acting in a way that is elevating the quality of your life and unfortunately minimizing it. 2. Be honest about your body As Mireille reminds in her book, nobody's body is perfect. Nobody's. But often we berate ourselves for not being what we hope we might look like. Find what you love about your physique. If you notice something you can improve that would enhance your health, create a plan and approach to make the changes you seek; otherwise and/or in the meantime, adorn your body so that you love what you wear and therefore you radiate a self-confidence that is inviting and engaging. Tweaking your capsule wardrobe closet will take time, but add one quality blouse that works with at least two other items you already have will give you two more outfits that make you look and feel your best. ~On Friday September 1st, TSLL Fall 2017 Shopping Guide will go live here on the blog. 3. Own your style and celebrate the uniqueness of others As I shared in this post a few months ago, our signature style will continue to evolve. However, upon knowing and feeling confident in the style you have chosen for your body, lifestyle and personality, you can step into each morning with confidence and celebrate, rather than mimic or feel envious of others'. I admire Meghan Markle's style on USA's Suits. Her slim frame, just-below-the-knee pencil skirts and neatly tucked cashmere sweaters. And while I draw inspiration for ideas on what to pair with my signature style, I celebrate her physique and recognize I have a more muscular frame. The beauty of loving your own style is that you are more open and celebratory of others not only in what they wear, but what they do. We liberate ourselves from unnecessary loss of energy when we do not dwell on what we aren't but rather embrace what we are and what we know we can be as we look for inspiration. 4. Find time to be well Your life requires healthy fuel in order for you to reach your optimal potential. Such healthy fuel comes in the form of a restful, deep night's sleep in a bed that beckons, cuddles and restores you; a mind that is given the tools to understand how to let go of what is not helpful; a day, each day, that is given time to breathe, moments to step away from expectations and catch your breathe, gather the proper perspective and return anew; exercise that excites, reduces stress and strengthens and cares for your body; ideas, art, information that broadens your mind and deepens your understanding of your role in it; and moments to engage with others in a way that is healthy, loving, playful and kind. As well, knowing what activities you can engage in that will reduce your stress when you find yourself overwhelmed is a tool to learn as there will be days when the unexpected happens. 5. Clarify your journey Why are you doing what you are doing? Why are you living the way you are living? What do you hope to cultivate in your everydays and in your future by going about your precious 24 hours the way you do? Are you spending your money in a way that supports your goals? Are you spending time working on projects that are meaningful to you and align with the person you know you are? Even if you already have your goals set, take a moment and check in. Sometimes simply by seeing how we are progressing, we can be jumpstarted as we see how close we are to our goals. 6. Believe in a better tomorrow, savor today No matter how wonderful or perhaps frustrating life may be right now, tomorrow has the potential to be beautifully bright. The key is how we approach our everydays. Have we cleared out the clutter and the weight that is holding us down, draining our energy and preventing us from being energized? If so, toss it and welcome the quality. What is our attitude? Do we need a mindset reboot? If so, seek out experts and books to help give you tools to reframe how you gaze at life. “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” —Dhammapada, by Thomas Byrom Most importantly, is to recognize the beauty in the day you have right now. What is going well? Are you healthy? Are your loved ones healthy? As I type, Norman snores rhythmically and Oscar is snuggle by my side, the beautiful sky is calm with a hint of a breeze and there is food in the refrigerator. Maybe my heart is broken and maybe yours is too at this very moment, but there is so much to find goodness within if only we take time to look. Tomorrow will be better, but today can be quite sweet if we shift our perspective.   How we approach our days is the determining factor in the quality of our everydays. I consider those who have figured out how go about their days in such a way, style masters. It doesn't mean life won't throw them a curveball, it doesn't mean their clothing choices won't change as they move through the decades, but it does mean they adapt, stay centered, remain positive and resilient understanding the tools that are needed to be honed and strengthened always at the ready to be used to enhance the quality of their lives. My wish for you is that September begins on a most solid and sound footing. A beginning that offers hope, excitement and a beautiful fresh breath of goodness to savor and multiple as you appreciate what you have and radiate that goodness to those around you. ~SIMILAR POSTS FROM THE ARCHIVES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: ~Why Not . . .

Savor the Last Days of Summer?   Petit Plaisir: Chamomile Flowers Recently while stopping into my local Trader Joe's, I picked up a bundle of Chamomile flowers (see below - bottom left of the image). I was delighted as I hadn't seen such a flower in the store before and found the subtle scent ideal for the summer home decor. For fewer than five dollars, I picked it up and have been enjoying the bouquet in my house for over 10 days now. And the goodness of the Chamomile just gets better. As many of you know, I enjoy a cup of black tea at the end of the day, and if I haven't enjoyed dessert, a dark chocolate truffle. However, I know that not everyone can tolerate caffeinated tea before bed, so I wanted to suggest Chamomile tea and the recipe to make your own at home. With either dried (2 tablespoons) or fresh (4 tablespoons), make tea as you normally would. As you will read in the article linked below for the recipe, while not all health benefits have been scientifically proven or confirmed in recent decades, these health benefits include aid in reducing an upset stomach, anxiety, and even a way of promoting sleep. ~recipe for Chamomile Tea (fresh or dried flowers) ~TSLL Audio Book is Now Available ~View and Listen to more episodes of The Simple Sophisticate podcast here.

AM Northwest’s Helen Raptis on hitchhiking to work, pushing past “no,” and how “pay-to-play,” doesn’t always require cold hard cash. You may remember Helen Raptis as KATU’s “Roving Red-Head,” for the ABC station’s hallmark morning show in Portland, AM Northwest. The show has seen a lot of changes over the years and so has Helen. This episode of PR ChalkTalk gets into AM Northwest’s transition to partially-monetized segments and Helen’s trip up the newsroom ladder while experiencing some personal set-backs along the way. Helen’s story didn’t start in front of the camera. While she’s been hosting AM Northwest for 15 years, her first job was as a receptionist for KING 5 in Seattle. There she worked her way up to promo-writing. Various newsroom positions took her to Montana, then Eugene and eventually Portland, where she ultimately landed at KATU — making it big as the morning show’s “Roving Red-Head,” field reporter and finally snagging the show’s hosting role. We then explore the pitch opportunity, how to get around their pay-to-play roadblock, tips, who is watching AM Northwest and suggestions for folks that want to get into the industry. https://www.veracityagency.com/podcast/podcast-helen-raptis/

Are you ready to let go of the drama, stop playing the role of victim and step onto the path of creating what you truly seek in life? Life transition coach and T.E.D. trainer Diane Dennis will share how The Empowerment Dynamic (T.E.D.) mental model of behavior elevates communication, responses and decision making towards becoming a Creator in your life, replacing the traditional victim model of behavior (the Drama Triangle).   Victims react, avoid, and make plans to resolve issues using a mental model of behavior focused on the problem orientation. By learning and using The Empowerment Dynamic, we claim our power to choose and respond on outcomes based on passion, possibility and creativity instead of fear and pain. So, with interpersonal relationships, we look for possible solutions to issues that are infused with passion and empathy. In work settings, we create healthy boundaries, set goals by looking for solutions that are vision oriented instead of problem oriented, creating sustainable results.  Diane Dennis is certified to teach T.E.D. to individuals, organizations and businesses.  She is also a PR consultant for individuals, authors, & organizations, teaching them how to create a wider audience, and brand their messages to attract attention from those who need services and products that will enhance their lives.   An accomplished author and speaker, Diane has produced and hosted multiple broadcast radio shows in Portland, Oregon and has appeared regularly as a guest on the local ABC show AM Northwest.  Diane's web site:  http://inspiredmc.com
