Family can be a not-so-fun area of life for so many people, and for so many reasons, and with the holidays that is often amplified!  You may be spending more time with family you’d prefer not to be with, or missing family, wishing you had a family, or just wondering what it would take to have ease in this area.  What if this reality’s version of ‘family’ is inherently not easeful for people because of all the expectations and projections that come along with it?  What if there was a totally different possibility with family that includes allowance, honoring, gratitude, vulnerability, and trust?  What if you could have no judgment of your family even if they judge you? Would you be willing to have a different possibility with family regardless of whether your family chooses it or not? Join Heather as she interviews Julie Perkins and her 14 year old daughter, Christy Perkins on the difference they have created with and in their family. Christy Perkins is an Artist, Creative Writer, Musician and Singer/Songwriter who loves to play all kinds of stringed instruments including ukulele, all kinds of guitars (bass, electric, acoustic, classical), piano and keyboards plus some percussion. She facilitates teens struggling to be who they truly are, especially those who are self-destructive, addictive or just plain lost. Is now the time for something different? Julie Oreson Perkins is a Certified Life Coach, specializing in Mind, Body and Soul well-BEing. Hundreds have benefitted from her “conversations of change” that result in a (re)birth of natural, intuitive abilities and zest for life on the planet here and now. You’ll find her most at peace out in Nature, where she takes clients to show them different perspectives, possibilities and choices. If you could change ANYTHING in YOUR life, what would it be? Julie and Christy also use the tools of Access Consciousness in their work, empowering people to choose more for themselves and change their lives.

The “teen” years: so many projections and expectations of what they could be – SHOULD be – ought (never) be! Not just for the teens themselves but also for the parents and anyone (relatives, neighbors, teachers, guardians, coaches, scout leaders, etc) who has teens in their lives. In this special Parent’s Edition of Teens Done Different, hear from mom and life coach Julie Oreson Perkins, as she talks about navigating an already “energetically charged” terrain, especially when the tides turn and the waters get rough for teens at school – with their peers – in their extracurricular activities – and in their more intimate relationships. Would you be willing to be something different for your teens, instead of another person who attempts to “steer” them in the “right” direction? Would some simple, easy to use tools create more ease in ALL your lives? http://julieoperkins.com/

Growing up can definitely be difficult. Being a parent can also be very difficult. But what if there was a different possibility with parents and their children? What if kids could grow up being taught to choose instead of obey? What if parents had ways of working with their kids instead of butting heads with them? Access Consciousness has given the gift of awareness and consciousness to Julie and Christy and their lovely guests, Glenna Rice and her teenage daughter, Roisin.

Help! What does this word mean to you? For many of us, the very idea of asking for help – or receiving it – brings up a wide range of thoughts, feelings and emotions. And what about giving help?

What different possibility is available to us beyond traditional help? Tune in to find out on Teens Done Different. http://julieoperkins.com/

What is "normal"? Have you always been different from the bunch? Have you always steered away from the mainstream?

So many times our creativities and special abilities are made wrongnesses, instead of STRONGnesses! What if you could change the world if you acknowledged your differences and didn't try to change them or fit into the "norm"? Join Christy Perkins and Julie Oreson Perkins, this week with special guest Katie Rubin, a wild and wacky conscious comedian who has always strayed from "normal" to create huge changes in the world.

What do you do when your body is in pain – not working like “normal” – fatigued? Do just ignore the pain – keep running your engine dry – or lash out at others? What would it be like if your body (and you too!) could totally choose out of the hurt? Join Christy and Julie as they talk about options for hurting bodies from both a teen and parent perspective. Hear some great stories and get some tips, tools and more Bod-EASE on Teens Done Different. http://julieoperkins.com/

What is awareness? Some call it intuition – others call it inner wisdom. It’s that space of total knowing – and trusting that you DO truly know. We all have awareness…yet many of us – especially teens – don’t acknowledge or use it. Why not? Is it because you’re “not allowed” to? Or because you’ve never been invited to? Join Christy and Julie Perkins on Teens Done Different to explore what awareness is – tips and tools to nurture it – and how you can begin to use it to your advantage!
