This year we are making some changes behind the scenes to bring me even better, high-quality interviews. Before we do, we wanted to take a step back in time and share some interviews from our first few years. Our very first guest was Michele "Wojo" Wojciechowski, national award-winning freelance writer and humorist, as well as stand up comedian and public speaker. She is the author of "Next Time I Move They'll Carry Me Out in a Box" and continues to warm hearts and souls with laughter all across America.

We have certainly come a long way...        

What do women really think about dating, relationships, and romance?  Is dating different as you get older? Should older women date younger men?

Early on in life, we hear adults talking about money. A lot of times, well most of the time, it was about not having enough. Having to work hard, day after day to make ends meet. We start having our own conversations about money, what we want to buy, where we want to live, you know all the "important stuff".  We heard the conversations and we had the conversations but did we really listen to the answers our money gave us? Sounds crazy but money does talk and most of the conversations we have keep us broke.  It's time to break the cycle and Chella Diaz, Money Mindset Coach, is here to help.  Chella became curious about money when she was 9 years old. She didn't let the conversations she heard influence her, buying her first car on her own at the age of 17. Chella took time to study the habits of the wealthy, changing the conversation she had with money.  By the age of 23, she was able to buy her very first home.  She continued to study, sharing that knowledge with anyone who would listen. She now coaches others on how to do the same so they can live a life of abundance.  So tune in to Let's Coach as Chella shares some of her techniques and strategies with you.     

Knowing how money works can positively impact just about every area of your life. We know this, but how many of us take time to stop and figure out the whole money thing? Most of us don't.  No matter how much money we make, how much debt we have, we still can and need to learn more. This weeks guest, Neysa Matthews, is on a mission to educate people about money so they can live better, do more, and dream bigger.

If you tuned in to our latest episodes with financial experts Rita Bocuzzi and Dakota Grady you heard me mention why you should stop making credit card companies rich. I learned this concept from financial coach Chella Diaz and I promised to share the interview where she talks about your relationship with money, credit card debt and how you have to stop being a slave to your money. We could not let financial awareness month pass by without sharing this show again.  So who is Chella... Amazon best selling author, financial and life coach, Chella is the founder of Money IQ. Her fascination with how the wealthy handle their money began at an early age. She was inspired to begin saving at the age of nine and by the age of 17 purchased her first car followed by her first house at the age of 23. With over 20 years in the banking and finance industry, Chella witnessed the struggles and misinformation many people had regarding a basic understanding of money management.  She is dedicated to teaching and equipping individuals with skills to empower them to take control of their financial future. This is truly a conversation about money where Chella and I discuss our relationship with money.  We talk about aspects you can change to free yourself from debt and begin to create an abundant and wealthy lifestyle.

During this year's series on dating, romance and relationships, we talked about "What Men Really Want", "The Best Love Affair You Can Have" and Dating Outside the Lines". But once you have the man or woman you dreamed about, how do keep the sparks flying? It's easy to have the excitement of a new romance to keep you intrigued, but as time goes by, that can easily fade. You find yourself rarely having quality time together and you lose all of the spontaneity. Simply put, the romance is gone and it's boring. As time goes by, it's like your just existing in a relationship. Love and romance should never come down to that.   This week on "Let's Coach", returning to the show is one of our favorite guests,  Sheila Tempchin. Sheila is a Sexual Health Educator, Romance Coach, and very successful and award-winning Pure Romance Consultant. We'll be discussing some fun ways to keep romance alive so the spark in your relationship never goes dim.  Also returning to offer the male perspective is Executive and Leadership Coach, Mark Thorn.

It's one of my favorite times of the year on Let's Coach where we focus on a very hot topic - dating, romance, and relationships. With the recent release of the movie "What Men Want" starring Taraji P Henson, we thought it would be a good idea to dive a little deeper into the subject. What better way to do that then to have the EZ Dating Coach, Mike Goldstein join us.  Mike is a successful professional dating coach, public speaker, and author who has appeared on the Today Show, Reader's Digest, The Star Ledger, Shape Magazine, and more.  Mike’s main point of focus is helping successful, happy women find love and commitment.

Oh, and guys, this episode isn't just for women. Listening to this episode will help you understand the female mind just a little bit more. So tune in, sit back, and enjoy!

We also hear about the political, economic and social struggles our country is facing.  Doesn't matter what country you live in - you're hearing something. Many of us are struggling through life, working towards our goals so we can be happy - one day. You can turn on Netflix or Hulu or watch a video on the internet that reminds us of what our life is supposed to be like and what we should have. We desire to have a nice car, a big home, designer clothes, jewelry, great friends or a great relationship.  We work to obtain these things, sometimes stressing over the debt we end up in. Maybe you have struggled so long you have forgotten what happiness is and find yourself feeling depressed and miserable.  What if there is a different way?  What if we could see our lives from a different viewpoint and create happiness NOW?  Our guest this week is going to show us how...  Dr. Steve Taubman, bestselling author and world-class speaker, has dedicated his life to showing people how to thrive through their challenges.

As we close out the final episode of our Romance and Relationship series, we wanted to spend time addressing the person who it all starts with - YOU!  Many people have experienced painful, heartbreaking relationships that have blocked them from having the passionate, intimate relationship they truly desire.  It's almost if they punish themselves, blaming themselves for everything.  They may do well in their business or career, but when it comes to relationships, they no longer feel confident, let alone sexy. They have surrendered their power and settled. Deep down they desire more but since the trust has been broken, they no longer try.  Our guest this week, nationally known Sex Expert and Coach, Jane Guyn, can change all of that for you. Jane is the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller "Too Busy to Get Busy" and the creator of The Lover's Journey which is based on her transformational BEDROOM™ model.  She teaches her clients how to have the intimate lives they've secretly desired all their lives even when trust has been broken now or in the past.  If you have found yourself stuck and unable to move past the hurt of the past OR if your partner is the one who is stuck, you won't want to miss this episode. Listen and you will begin to feel empowered, connected and sexy again!

  There are so many factors influencing our children to grow up faster and experience things in life much sooner then we may have had to. In many cases they are getting direction from the media, friends and video games that may not be providing the guidance needed to truly grow into productive members of society and to live amazing, fulfilling lives. Men once had a certain to role to play in society, one that some believe is slowly fading away as they fall victim to the challenges life places in front of them. Every boy should become a man. Age does not make one a man. How he chooses to live his life and the decisions he makes – that becomes the measure of a man. The path to manhood is one that should be carefully navigated but many stumble along the way. Our guest this week, Eric Elliott, has a mission to assist "Boys" with Godly guidance on their journey to manhood and to help those that may have fallen off the path to know there is hope – Do Not Give Up!   Eric is an author, speaker, husband and father who, on several occasions in his own life could have easily thrown in the towel and choose a life that would have taken him on a much different path. Instead he stayed strong in his faith using his pain and experiences for victory. His book, “Onward to Manhood: Establishing Godly Masculinity” serves as a blueprint that lays the foundation for the journey to manhood. In his words “in the soul of every man, there is a tug-of-war between insanity and divinity. The winner is...the one you feed the most. “ Tune in to Let's Coach as Eric shares how to negotiate and navigate the journey of manhood and how every boy can achieve success and win his very own tug-of-war. 

As parents one of main goals is to assist our children with selecting a career that is fun, fulfilling and financially rewarding. No matter how close your are with your children, sometimes it can difficult to talk to them about their future plans. You may find yourself asking, “Am I doing everything possible to keep my child on track and encourage him?” or  “What else can be done to help my son stay on track and be encouraged?”   What your child really wants and needs is a safe place to explore different routes he or she can take with a college degree and how he or she can get a job after he or she graduates college. Our guest this week, Career Conversationalist, Crystal Olivarria,  is here to help you!  With 14 years of personal and professional experience, Crystal guides her clients by acting as a neutral party verifying what parents are saying in regards to making responsible career and college decisions. During the interview, Crystal will share information about her proven “Career Decisions Made Easy” system that helps aspiring youth get on the fast track to wherever they want to go. The system was developed after Crystal was successfully awarded over $70,000.00 dollars from grants and scholarships to pay for her own college education at two private universities.  Your children are your whole life and you want to set your child up for success. Crystal has guided her clients to achieve remarkable success and is committed to helping children reach their full potential.  So tune in to Let's Coach and learn just what you need to do to have the right conversations and coaching to get you their.

  Your past experiences impact you in many ways, they help define who you will become in life.  You learn from your experiences, raising your self-awareness and hopefully become a better person because of them.
