Dealing Effectively with Major Changes in Our Lives
May 26, 2008
Welcome back!
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!

New Podcast Coming Soon!
March 26, 2008
For your listening pleasure I’m happy to announce that there is now a new podcast in town…it’s the New Urban Mom Podcast. The podcast will officially launch in April but this post and our brief promo show will give you an idea of what’s ahead.
What I like about podcasts is the 24-hour access and the ability to get more of what you like about a subject. I think a lot of us are inclined to read a brief post but not a long one – depending on our schedules and daily priorities. Yet there are those topics we like and want to know more about or need to know more about. Bingo – the 30-minute or 60-minute podcast fits the bill for the “need to know more but have little time” group.
You can listen at your leisure, as you exercise, drive or while you’re simply relaxing in your home.
I’m so excited about this podcast because there is so much information that other colleagues and I want to share with you about new urbanism, career planning, work opportunities, entrepreneurism, family life, community activities, seasonal ideas for your home, buying a home, vacation planning and so much more.
Until we launch in April, I hope you’ll take the time to share your comments, questions and suggestions for upcoming topics as I’d love to read, learn from and act on your ideas.
