Be The Best You Can Be

Today we are doing something different! In celebration of the successful completion of my first year and a half series on Be The Best You Can Be, today we will be hearing from some of my past guests! They will share some thoughts on the show and on their best advice for Being Your Best. I am taking a summer hiatus and thought that a good way to mark the occasion is to have a party! So listen in to hear what the experts say! I will be sharing what I have learned from the show too. You are welcome to call in too and please share your ideas for the next season on my Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/DrLindaSanicola

Unlock your healing potential with Brain Balancing LifeWave Patches! Are you interested in feeling and looking younger and healthier naturally? Be sure and join us for this show as I interview Dr. Karen Kan, bestselling author of Guide to Healing Chronic Pain - a Holistic Approach, about how she discovered the key to unlock the body's healing potential. Having been disabled with fibromyalgia, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, Dr. Kan sought natural and energetic therapies to heal herself because nothing in conventional medicine could help her. Along the way, she was introduced to phototherapy patches that worked like acupuncture without needles. Being a born skeptic, Dr. Kan didn't think anything so small, inexpensive and portable could possibly work, but she tried them anyway. Within a short period of time of using these patches Dr. Kan's fatigue improved immensely and she became a fan of this product. Tune in to learn more about how this technology can help you too!

We’ll talk about the unsung heroes of the process- the birth mothers!

Believe it or not, most people have a hard time receiving love to some degree. Why would this be since love is so wonderful? On the surface it doesn't seem to make sense. After all, don’t we all want love?

We know in today’s world it is much more common for people to accept and even understand how those of us who are pet parents feel when we lose our beloved companions. Our pets, no matter the species, are members of our family and we hurt when they transition. However, there are still the insensitive and unenlightened among us who make cold or insensitive remarks as we deal with the loss. For example, some might ask, upon seeing an elderly dog, “how much longer do you think he’ll last?” or “when are you going to get another one?”, or “well, it was just a cat”. Can you imagine saying that to someone whose spouse just passed away? It’s an extra burden on the grief process. The good news is that you can survive and thrive through the process.
