New urbanism is also about how we work, raise our children and live together as neighbors-whether wersquo;re in a small rural community or the largest city.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>Being a mom today can be exhilarating, joyful, maddening and anxiety ridden--often all at once.   We deal with demands from various corners of our communities including our families, our clients, our employers, our girlfriends, our neighbors and  ourselves.

Most of those demands and issues we can address without too much inner stress.  But how well do each of us manage major transitions in our lives?

We all experience significant changes at various times from having a baby, to starting a business, to ending a marriage - major life changes can take many forms. Sometimes change drops into our lives unannounced and at other times it is as inevitable as the rain.  What is certain is that life transitions can affect us at many levels--sometimes causing physical symptoms that serve as a wake up call.

How we deal with the impact of this kind of change can be very important to our health, our happiness and our families.   Today's show will examine 6 ways to deal effectively with major life transitions in our lives.

Don't forget to listen for the "secret phrase" - this is the last week to enter Moms Talk Radio's May ipod contest.  Once you hear me say the secret phrase, write it down and enter it in the "Listen to Win" form at the bottom of the page at www.momstalkradio.com.  Good luck!
