Knowing where the essential valves and switches in your home is very important. This piece of information is the difference between a little bit of water from a busted pipe or $50,000 in repair cost from a flooded home. As Pam, Jeff, and Jason talk about these shut-off valves a rare conversation about Jeff's record collection comes to the forefront and takes things in a totally new direction.

Do you feel like you have less time for yourself? Are you being paid what you should be? Does financial freedom sound enticing? These are some of the questions Pam Scmardo asked herself ten years ago. For her, answering these questions was a career pivot away from mechanical engineering and into multifamily syndication. As today's guest, Pam shares her greatest tips and insider scoops while busting top real estate myths. We open the episode with a glimpse into her professional background and what led her to such a dramatic career change. As Pam explains, her early days in real estate were also her most defining, and set the tone for the success she enjoys today.

As Pam says on her website: "Every child is intelligent, resourceful, competent, and driven toward relationship with other people and the world. But not every child grows up believing this about himself."This was a wonderfully insightful and eye-opening conversation with Pam Oken-Wright (author, teacher, educational consultant, keynote speaker) about what we as parents can be doing to help support our children so that they can still be children and use that imagination and curiosity to enrich and drive their education. This is a must-listen for anyone who has or interacts with children, as it gives insight into how the child brain works and how we as adults can support and encourage their development and growth.Pam's book, "Mommy, They're Taking Away My Imagination" can be purchased on Amazon.Find Pam here:http://pokenwright.com/Find Dory here:https://www.theoilspotrva.com/https://www.instagram.com/dorydoyle/Find Dr. Joe here:https://www.therichmondchiropractor.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjoeabretski/Live Well RVA Members:https://www.facebook.com/groups/2411872369046148

Pam and Steve Park spent their careers in education, first as teachers and then as principals. Along the way there were stints at coaching, obtaining master’s degrees (where they met) and now following the exploits of their former students. In this episode, they talk of the joy they have experienced in the educational positions they have held. As Pam stated, “A teacher is like looking at an apple and cutting it in half and counting the number of seeds in the apple. Being a principal is looking at the seed and wondering how many apples will come from that seed.”They also discuss the seven blended children they have raised and how they all get along so well. Yeah, interviewing a couple is a bit different, but different in a good way.
In this debut podcast, mathematics teacher educator, Pam Harris talks with her cohost, Kim Montague, about how they met and the work that they do together now.

The Importance of Talking About SexMy guest, Pam Costa, spent a decade-and-a-half at both Apple and Facebook. After having a life-changing experience with a sex therapist during a session, she realized that a transition to sex therapy was where she belonged.Since that realization, she has founded Down To There (https://www.downtothere.com/) and has helped many couples reclaim balance in their relationship. She has done a talk at TEDx Palo Alto and is working diligently on raising awareness for female sexual health and peer support.Very recently she has presented and garnered support at the 2018 International Society for the Study of Women’s Health conference and is continuing to do very important work in the field. And in this episode, she shares her story and everything that she has learned on peer groups and desire discrepancy through her experience. Listen along and enjoy!The Transition from Tech to Speaking About SexAs most transitions into the sexuality sphere tend to be, Pam’s journey into her career came about unexpectedly. After going to a sex therapist with her husband to find a solution for their sexual desire discrepancy, her eyes were opened to the utility and value the profession brought to her relationship and could bring to many others. Ultimately, it sparked a curious streak inside of Pam’s mind that led to her switching from a career in the tech realm to that of a sex therapist! Always interesting to hear how various individuals end up in the profession, either the traditional route or from completely different camps. Listen in to learn more!Lessons She Learned from Sex TherapyAs Pam states, her husband had easy access to pleasure within his body. Because Pam had yet to cultivate a more readily accessible wellspring of pleasure to draw from within herself, she would reject her husband’s advances and then feel guilty afterward. This patterning of advance and then rejection left the couple disconnected in this facet of their relationship.And immediately, one of the first questions that Pam was asked by her sex therapist was how she was raised to respond and internalize sex and pleasure in general. At first, the question made her scratch her head, but she soon saw the value in interrogating the way she was raised and taught to suppress sexual desire and not talk about it. Armed with the right questions to ask, Pam started unlocking the desire within herself; long before she had figured herself broken or not normal, but in reality, she was extremely normal and had ready access to pleasure and desire within herself.She learned much more things from her time with the sex therapist; she goes into more detail during the episode.The Start of Her Sex Therapy PracticeWhat started as her having edifying talks about her sex life with a girlfriend once a week, turned into more and more friends meeting up and talking about important issues that all women in relationships should be having. Pam said she would supply book club-type prompts for every participant, and they would work through the topics and questions. After spearheading these meetings and seeing hundreds of women discuss their sex lives, she decided to “get some numbers behind it” and really see if she could quantitatively analyze the efficacy of the sexual talks. And yes, the numbers reflected just how beneficial it is to have girlfriends get together and talk about sex.What About the Men in This Equation?A lot of time men don’t get the attention they deserve when desire discrepancy comes up. And yes, men are in the position of not wanting sex as often. And so, as Pam states, after she started setting up the discussion groups, even her husband expressed interest in setting up his own group to discuss sexual aspects of his relationship. This does go to show the power of discussion and how despite stereotypes of men not expressing themselves or desiring to talk about their relationships, there are plenty representatives in the male population who are actually very interesting in having these types of discussions with other men. And Pam encourages all sorts of dynamics for discussion.For Higher Desire PartnersNot taking it personally that your partner doesn’t want sex as often as you do. That’s a very crucial component of a healthy relationship when consistent desire discrepancies are present. It’s nothing personal at all, it is just how your partner is wired. There should be no alarms blaring! As Pam shares, a good practice to have is to celebrate your partner’s spontaneous desire or usual sexual desire personality as it comes and for what it is. There should be a celebration and respect of the different aspects of each personality, and no condemnation at all!For Lower Desire PartnersFor those who are on the lower end of the spectrum for desire, the prospect of finding things that make you responsively want sex, or the experimentation for things that turn you may seem daunting, but it is achievable and worth the practice to those who are interested. Especially if your partner is suffering as a result of not being fulfilled on a sexual level, even just the effort you place can start to translate into more and more readily available desire for sex.

In the previous episode, we talked to Pam Hopman, creator of The Money Profile and author of the best selling book, “Wealth Amplified. Pam talked about money mindset and the money style diagnostic tool she has created. In this episode, Pam gives recommendations for sound financial management as a business owner. Having a strong advocate of women and finances, Pam has recently launched her video course, Wealth Amplified. The course is a series of guided conversations through important financial topics.

Are your dollars working hard enough for you?
Unhealthy money beliefs can destroy a successful business. Some of the warning signs of an unhealthy money mindset might be excessive discounting, a strong need to be all things to all people and operating in a constant state of fear, including fear to spend money or spending most of your money the minute it hits your checking account. While there are certainly emotional components associated with this, most important of all is the mindset you maintain around how you make and spend money. With a scarcity mindset, you'll find yourself always focusing on never having enough. How then do we shift from scarcity to abundance? Our guest in this episode is a strong advocate of women and finances. Pam Hopman, the creator of The Money Profile and author of the best selling book, “Wealth Amplified”, has recently launched her video course of the same name.

In this conversation, Pam and I talk about the importance of using joy and gratitude to open channels to receive what you want. When actively seeking to manifest what you want, it is easy to approach the process by focusing on the absence of what you want. For example, when seeking to attract a romantic partner into your life, instead of feeling lonely and asking for what you want, be grateful for the friends and loved ones already in your life and seek to add a special someone to the mix. Or if your finances are tight and you are seeking to attract a better paying job, do so by being grateful for your current job and salary and seek to move to your next level financially. The bottom line is, if you are dissatisfied with your life or experiencing a sense of lack, you will attract more opportunities to feel these feelings. It is the basic “like attracts like” principle of the Law of Attraction. Remember, the universe cannot distinguish between what you want and don’t want. It only responds to your thought vibration and the images you hold in your mind. Your job is to focus on what you want and open channels to receive what you desire. As Pam states, the best way to open channels is through joy and gratitude. Cultivating an attitude of joy and gratitude is a matter of being present and mindful to the blessings that surround you and appreciating what you already have. Wake up each day grateful and curious about what wonderful things are going to happen to you. Be on the look out for overwhelming and subtle blessings. Both will present themselves if you are aware enough to see them.
