The People Speak
The People Speak has evolved over the years with many great guests who have been interviewed by some very fine hosts.
We are a 55 minute show airing every other Sunday between 5-6pm Pacific/8-9pm Eastern. The show features a guest interview from any number of realms of interest (entertainment, science, philosophy, healing, spirituality, activism, politics, literature, etc.).
The guests share their stories, lives, strategies, books, philosophy, films, music, or whatever it is they use as a vehicle for making a difference for the better.
The radio show name, The People Speak, is based on the idea of allowing our audience - the People - a chance to interact with the guests during the hour, and we take phone or text questions from them during the interview.
Past guests include such notables as Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the late Howard Zinn, Nobel Laureates Mairead Maguire, Shirin Ebadi, Kathryn Najimy, Oliver Stone, Jesse Ventura, Richard Belzer, Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan, Scott Horton, Joan Jett, Willie Nelson, George Galloway, Roseanne Barr, Ed Asner, Chevy Chase, as well as various reps from Amnesty International, UN World Food Programme, and many others.
Guest, Anadel Barbour
BIO: I am Anadel Baughn Barbour, with 12 years of experience working with people in recovery from substances and negative behaviors. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern and am [being certified as] a Sex Coach. My other modes of practice include Mindfulness Meditation, Level 2 Reike Healing, Narrative Therapy and I have some training in Hypnotherapy.
I chose Mental Health as a career due to my own struggles with addiction. The road of sobriety had many challenges and having overcome most of them, I wanted to help others. I chose to add Sex Coaching to my practice because the need is tremendous. Sex, sexuality and intimacy were areas that most people sought help for and which were sorely underrepresented in my Mental Health Training and Education. My own sex and intimacy concerns led me to find my own path to a healthy sexual ideal for myself. It was a tough journey. It was hard to find a therapist who dealt with normalizing sexual issues. Sexuality was ignored as a subject to embrace and improve upon if one wanted.
I finally found fulfillment doing my own work and research. Liberation from the bondage of confusion, shame and guilt about sex and sexuality was the result. I discovered just how normal I was and that I could live by my own values. I was able to take full ownership of my Powerful Sexual Energy. Having found a healthy attitude towards sex, my whole life changed, and I had a sense of well-being. I call my journey FLOW (Fulfillment, Liberation,
Ownership, Well-Being).
I would love to share it with everyone!
