In this exciting interview with New York Times best selling author and internationally acclaimed workshop leader, Debbie Ford, we get a taste of what it is like to identify aspects of our "Shadow," parts of ourselves that we don’t like or accept. Debbie does a mini-coaching session with Alissa to reveal aspects of her "Shadow" (yikes!) and describes an exercise from her best selling book Dark Side of the Light Chasers to help listeners identify and embrace their own disowned aspects of themselves. A candid and straight-forward coach and speaker, Debbie is very clear about the power available to us when we are able to love and embrace ALL aspects of ourselves in order to live more happy, fulfilled and "on-purpose" lives. Debbie and Alissa come up with a new mantra: Instead of NEGATE IT, EMBRACE IT! This is one interview you don’t want to miss with the internationally renowned Relationship Expert, Debbie Ford!

JFW 011: "Sexy, Single Motherhood - A Growing Trend" with Rachel Sarah
In this interview Alissa interviews a bold and courageous thirty-five year old woman, Rachel Sarah who has been raising her daughter, without a husband, since Mae was born. Single motherhood is a growing trend among women and we get the inside track on how that kind of choice affects a woman’s life. No longer waiting to find “Mr. Right” women are taking charge of their lives and their desire to have children in very non-traditional ways. We talk with Rachel about her decision to have a baby with a man she knew wasn’t very stable and all that she has learned on her journey as a woman and a mother thus far. We talk about raising a “bi-racial” baby, the importance of sisterhood, the challenges of being single and raising a child, the benefits of being a single mother, and we get Rachel’s perspective on this growing trend called Lovership, that bridges the gap between dating and long-term relationships. Rachel also talks about research findings stating children who come from single-parent homes thrive just as well as academically as children in two-parent homes…interesting. And in some cases, children in unhealthy two-parent homes need more assistance and attention. In the last segment we get the benefit of hearing a few words from Rachel’s beautiful daughter Mae about life with her mom. A poignant and important interview to share with women, I hope all women everywhere will be inspired rise above social norms, societal judgment and reflexive prejudice to make choices they deem important as modern, dynamic women.
