What does it mean to have a beautiful body?  Mainstream media sources might have us believe that a beautiful body is one that is simultaneously voluptuous and meagre; buff, toned and taut. Ultimately, however, beautiful bodies are ones whose owner inhabit their own skin comfortably. This week's show includes interviews with: Dr. Ed Jaccoma, Medical Director of Akari Beauty Salon,  Deb Soule of Avena Botanicals and Anne Belden of Hardy Girls, Healthy Women. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2012/01/body-beautiful-18/

Welcome to 2012! What are your intentions this year? We believe that creating intentions for our lives can have a significant impact on the way we approach our existence.

Joy is more than just happiness for happiness' sake. It is about facing challenges and feeling gratitude. It is about reveling in the uncertainty that is living. It is also about laughing, and sharing the laughter of children.   This very special show will put a smile on your face and bring joy to your heart! Guests include Mike LePage of ReMax Heritage,  Katie West of the Levity Institute and Lucy Bangor of the Children's Museum and Theater of Maine. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2011/12/joy-14/

We all have the potential for creating "sacred spaces" in our lives: whether these are the spaces in which we dwell, or spaces within our souls. Creating these spaces not only leads to bountiful living but also to better health! We also have the chance to help create sacred spaces for others who might not have the same opportunities we do.  Listen to our "Sacred Space" show this week and be inspired! Guests include Angie Arndt of the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine (ChIME), Cyrus Hagge, innovator and change-maker and Dave Holman of Safe Passage. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2011/12/sacred-space-13/

Our lives are not handed to us fully formed. Instead, we have the opportunity to weave them into existence: to merge our passions with the world's needs. This week's Dr. Lisa Radio Hour & Podcast guests have done just that. Listen in to show #12, "Weavings," and be inspired! Guests include: Jill McGowan, Clothing Designer, of Jill McGowan, Inc., Alex Rheault of the Quimby Colony and Maine College of Art (MECA) and Sarah Armentrout of Carlisle Riding Academy and EQuest. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2011/12/weavings-12/

How is your vision? Sometimes in order to see things that are right in front of us, we have to observe them from different angles. We also have to be prepared to look forward and be open to possibilities, whether they are related to our health or our personal space.  And, if we are especially observant, we will notice those who may need our help along the way. Guests this week include: Dr. John Herzog Orthopedic Specialists, Will Winkelman of Winkelman Architecture, and Dr. Steven Goldstein of Casco Bay Eye Care. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2011/11/vision-11/

What does it mean to feed ourselves--and others? How do we transform the abundance that is around us into sources of nourishment, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual?
