Embracing the title of "Parent-Child Whisperer," I am on a heartfelt mission: To Give Kids A Childhood They Won't Have To Heal From. As a best-selling author and esteemed Parent, Child, and Teen Coach, my dedication lies in guiding families through the intricacies of modern parenting. I am fervently committed to the ideal that every child deserves a nurturing upbringing, free from the need for later emotional repair. In cultivating open, safe, and trusting relationships between parents and their offspring, I enable families to close generational divides and foster communication that lays the groundwork for collective growth and profound understanding.My support system caters to parents caught in the whirlwind of occupational duties and their children's exhaustive routines, which often skews the delicate work-life balance. This imbalance can lead to tension and disconnection within the family fabric. My validated three-step process has been pivotal in reshaping family dynamics, enhancing the bonds of marriage,

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in five couples in the U.S. struggles with some form of infertility. The biggest roadblock for most of them to start on the path of parenthood is the high cost of fertility treatments. To ease that financial burden and help those seeking to start a family achieve success, Brooke Goff, founder and president of Goff Law Group in Connecticut, has pledged $430,000.00 to offset the massive expense of the fertility process. The enhanced benefit is a hot topic given the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling on “fetal personhoods” and the uncertain future of the procedure.“I knew at a young age that I wanted to have a family, yet I also knew that as a gay woman, I would need some assistance from science,” said Attorney Brooke Goff, owner of Goff Law Group, a personal injury law firm in Connecticut.  “In vitro fertilization fulfilled my desire to carry a child and experience the beautiful journey of pregnancy, something every woman should be entitled

The healthcare industry is grappling with a significant financial burden attributed to an often overlooked challenge: patient no-shows. Surprisingly, statistics reveal that 25% to 30% of all medical appointments, 40% of Medicaid appointments, and 50% of primary care appointments end in no-shows.This issue translates to a staggering annual loss of $150 billion for the U.S. healthcare industry.Transportation barriers are a major factor contributing to missed medical appointments. Statistic show that transportation issues are cited as the reason for missing medical appointments 7% of the time, with seniors reporting this as the primary reason an overwhelming 65% of the time. A study published in the NIH National Library of Medicine has linked transportation barriers to a decline in continuity of care, reduced use of regular outpatient care, increased emergency department visits, and higher readmission rates, all of which contribute to elevated costs for individuals and third-party payers.Christopher Ochs, Chief

Allowing children and teens to reach their full height potential is based on several critical factors, from heredity to adequate nutrition, hormonal balance, stress management, and sleep patterns. Yet 70% of U.S. adolescents lack nutrients essential to bone growth and poor nutrition in schools can lead to a 7.8-inch gap in height for people, as the National Library of Medicine indicates.TruHeight supplements these deficiencies, especially for those who need to improve their diet and reduce sugar consumption and other unhealthy habits. TruHeight addresses the critical growth years of 5+ years old with vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, and other essential nutrients necessary for bone growth.

Bob Duggan was a young priest who left the Vatican to live a life committed to teaching a new worldview of health. He worked to legalize acupuncture, founded a school and created Penn North, a non-profit addiction treatment facility in Baltimore, Maryland, where they continue to use his acupuncture program. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to support this vibrant community center. His views on transforming our disease-based health care system to one embedded in wellness and true disease prevention were sought by business leaders, lawmakers and political campaigns. Bob’s last gift was to hone his work into a series of simple practices, each centered on understanding that how you feel in your body will impact your thoughts, actions and health. Bob taught me how to breathe and changed my life. The stories in this book illustrate how the practices can create peace in your body and in your world of work and family.

If you’re over 45, you’re probably not sleeping as well as you once did. You may have even grown accustomed to the brain fog that muddles your thinking. You’re not the only one feeling drowsy. The CDC says more than a third of American adults are sleep deprived on a regular basis. The answer may be combining tried-and-true sleep basics with new sleep technology. “Sleeping fewer than six hours on a regular basis is a health concern,” comments neurologist Dan Cohen, MD, who has dedicated his career to helping people sleep better.“Decades of research, involving millions of people, show that chronic sleep deprivation is associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia.” Our sleep cycles get messed up as we age Delta, or slow wave sleep stage, is associated with deep, restorative sleep. Delta sleep occurs mainly in the first half of the night, enabling you to sleep the rest of the night. “Delta sleep is more important than the other sleep stages of sleep regarding physical h

I’ve owned and operated Yoga Sanctuary in some capacity in different locations for about fifteen years. It has been a blessed journey with people entering through the doors and all the eclectic places traveled to share the goodness of calming tactics. The participants have been eight to eighty plus. People that have connected with Yoga here at the Sanctuary and have moved away, quite often Zoom Yoga and stay in practice. The people that I’ve had the honor to work with, bring positivity and light to their life have been school children, counselors, nurses, executives, teachers, musicians, and many with other walks of life. It has been a pleasure to go into schools and share Yoga, meditation, calming and breathing methods. I feel that this has been my mission and purpose in life.

Hard-pressed farmers launched the original Populist movement, calling for a widening democracy to counter corporate monopoly and profiteering. Their resentment of the rich grew as the economy alternated between rapid growth and economic depression, producing both millionaires and destitute families. The Populist challenge to unbridled capitalism would finally force Republicans and especially Democrats to recognize the growing support for progressive change within their ranks. Fast-forward to modern times. Today’s pundits would have us believe that “populists” of the left—no less so than the right—are uniquely drawn to authoritarian politics. According to Babson,” The historical Populists are forgotten today as commentators tell us that Donald Trump, a self-proclaimed billionaire, is somehow also a ‘populist.’"It is because of the political climate of recent times that Babson began to explore how it was possible that politicians of completely different mindsets could somehow be connected to the idea of “populi
