How Women Can Rethink—And Smash The Myths Holding Them Back

COVID-19 has played havoc with many people’s careers, but it may have been especially detrimental to women.

Research shows that working mothers are dropping out of the workforce much faster than working fathers, at least in part because many schools switched to remote learning and at least one adult needed to be in the home with the children. One study by McKinsey & Company and Lean In also found that one-fourth of women they surveyed at 317 companies are considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce entirely.

As a result, the disruptions 2020 brought could have a long-term impact on women’s careers as well as their family’s finances.

But all might not be lost. These difficult times could be an opportunity for women to rethink their personal journeys and decide who and what they want to be going forward, says Andi Simon (www.andisimon.com), a corporate anthropologist, founder of Simon Associates Management Consultants, and author of the upcoming book Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business.

“I often say if you want to change, have a crisis or create one,” Simon says. “A crisis forces you to rethink what has always been in your life so you can create new opportunities for your future. As we navigate these uncertain times, women can use them to rethink their own stories and to smash any myths that are holding them back from becoming who they want to become.”

Simon suggests a few steps women can to get them started:

“Remember that you are writing a new story, so don’t let your brain delete great ideas because they don’t fit into your current story,” Simon says. “Keep saying to yourself, ‘Yes, that’s a great idea.’ Pretty soon, you will achieve the goals that you aspire to all through your life’s journey.”

Rippling Waves: A Spiritual Journey Through the Heart of the Universe

By Anthony Teresi

Travel with Anthony Teresi as He Reveals the Infinite Bliss and Wonder of the Oneness That Awaits Us, in the Transcendent Dimensions Where Our Pure Consciousness Resides and Ultimately Returns to The Origin from Which All Love Flows

Throughout "Rippling Waves", Anthony Illuminates a Pathway of Transformation and Evolution, Showing Us Our Potential Destiny

An Amazon.com Hot New Release! 

Greetings! 

If you've ever wondered what it might be like to leave your body and the Everyday world behind and allow your free consciousness untethered to visit where our souls originate, return home and begin anew--the unfathomable source of Supreme love...then let me introduce you to an Odyssey like no other! 

Renowned psychic and multi-dimensional visionary Anthony Teresi guides us all on an epic adventure, awakening the deepest truth of who we are in his new book Rippling Waves: A Spiritual Journey Through the Heart of the Universe.

Anthony has traveled this journey himself, countless times, and after years of exploration into the highest realms, he has committed the truth of his experiences to paper with a pure hope to inspire us to expand, transform and ascend into the presence of the most profound revelation of love, right now, within this very lifetime. Rippling Waves calls for a renaissance of spiritual and planetary harmony. 

In ascending from one dimension higher into the next, Anthony paints beautiful and astonishing word portraits of the magnificent sights he has seen, the breathtaking places he has been, and the glorious beings who are the benevolent guardians and guides at each stop along the way. He listens and learns what enables the souls at each dimensional stage to fully embody their divinity-and what we, as humanity, might do to emulate them as we find our way throughout our own existence, so we, too, can experience the bliss, ultimate expression and oneness of all creation. On this journey we discover who we really are and how we can express that truth through the power of love. 

This remarkable book is the result of Anthony's years of pursuing deeper and deeper levels of consciousness awareness. In realizing that his true essence was not limited to his body, Anthony discovered the gift of Focused Love Projection which allowed his consciousness to expand beyond limitation towards its true Source.                         

Born a fourth generation intuitive, with unexplained visions as a child, he hid much of his true spiritual nature away until his brother's plane went missing during a trip to Mexico. Hoping to find him, and desperate for answers, Anthony followed after, frantically searching without success through the jungles of Mexico. In a moment of despair, feeling helpless, his brother appeared to him, in full vision, assuring him he was well, and that he was transcending to his next soul expression, fully embraced in Peace and Love. 

This healing and awakening experience set Anthony on a path of deep exploration and inspired a joyous return to the expansion of his intuitive gifts. As an already accomplished professional musician, he began to employ unique instruments of his own creation in sound healing performances where he ultimately responded to the many requests of those seeking his gifts of wisdom and guidance. Today, he is a renowned clairvoyant, master astrologer, psychic visionary, sound healer and empath, highly-respected for his compassion and integrity.

Anthony's natural born gifts presented the unique capacity to tune into the realms of universal knowledge and tap into the hidden mysteries of the cosmos. He has gained the ability to communicate directly from the vastness of consciousness through the unspoken language of the heart. This has granted him passage through multidimensional portals that link humanity to the almost limitless possibility, both here on this plane of life existence, and in the infinite dimensions that exist beyond.

In one of the final stages of his voyages, he explores how a community of souls ascended from a world much like ours today, riven with greed and divisiveness, and transformed into a world of creative collaboration, total harmony and bliss. 

Anthony holds that "This journey clearly shows that until the majority of us awaken and seize the waiting gauntlet of the heart, our world will continue to crash and burn, survive, rebuild, then crash again and again as the promise of universal peace and oneness continues to pass us by. It does not have to be this way. Life can transform and humanity can facilitate that transformation."

If you would like to have Anthony Teresi on your show to guide you and your audience through this extraordinary cosmological terrain unveiling these limitless possibilities, then please send an email with the name of your show, your contact information, a proposed date and time, and the call-in details.

Anthony Teresi is a renowned clairvoyant, master astrologer, psychic visionary, sound healer and empath, highly respected for his compassion and integrity. Ever striving to grow into complete alignment with the highest states of consciousness, his soul mission has been the development, refinement, exploration and mastery of his intuitive and psychic nature.

He has lead a lifetime dedicated to extensive study and experience, through which he has attained a remarkable capacity to access and embody the worlds of vibrational healing, clairvoyance, psychic phenomenon, metaphysics, cosmology, mysticism, theosophy, ontology, eastern and western philosophy, Gnosticism, flower of life physics, psychology and beyond. Through the attainment of this vast knowledge, his passionate desire to realize full self-discovery and enlightened transformation grew, leading him to even more esoteric studies.

Longing to go even deeper, he gained further spiritual insight through the practice of single point meditation, which revealed a new sensory gift; the ability to communicate directly through consciousness the unspoken language of the heart. Upon the activation of this heightened awakening, he began hearing and feeling the voices of those in need on a global scale, and felt compelled to rise to that call, for now was the time to share these gifts in a greater way. While Anthony’s true path has always been grounded in commitment and service to humanity, the totality of these experiences had become greater than the sum of their parts. As a new consolidated vehicle of expression emerged, he became compelled to reach out as a beacon of understanding and hope, helping humanity and all those seeking a deeper truth to find and follow their own true path.

Recently, Anthony has passionately studied the emerging fields of neural plasticity, epigenetics, heart-mind coherence and the wondrous concepts relating to The Field. The blossoming of Anthony’s natural born gifts bore the unique capacity to tune in to the realm of universal knowledge and the hidden mysteries of the cosmos. This knowing empowers him to see, hear and, most importantly, interpret messages from spirit, revealing profound inner truths. This revelation was made possible as he has been granted passage through multidimensional portals of consciousness that link humanity with the realm of infinite possibility, both here in this plain of existence and beyond.

Choosing to travel the path of the mystic visionary, Anthony’s journey simultaneously flowed into cosmic attunement, musical revelations, multifaceted creativity and artistic expression. Bridging both the physical and celestial forces giving him a pure connection with the realms of the cosmic and divine, his expanded perceptive sensitivity is intimately attuned to a chorus of heavenly guides and the eternal beings that watch over us all. Born with expanded awareness, Anthony has always been touched by and connected with the divine presence that surrounds and flows through every living creation. This is a precious blessing that has given him untold insight into the limitless nature of Being.

Anthony is a multidimensional traveler who fuses his innate gifts with intelligence and the wisdom born of heart-centered intuition. He has taught and administered spiritual healing and guidance to thousands from around the globe as they search to experience and understand the unseen forces that shape and transform all of our lives.

With his remarkable new book Rippling Waves: A Spiritual Journey Through the Heart of the Universe, Anthony brings us along with him on one of his journeys back to the source of our creation.

Authenticity Awakened: 

The Path to OWNING Your Life's Story and Fulfilling Your Purpose

By Vicki Znavor

Embracing Your Life's Story & Values - 

And Living Them at Work & In Your Communication with Others Paves the Way for Fulfillment and Purpose

Vicki Znavor learned to be self-sufficient early in life.  Despite being a great student, attending college right out of high school was a distant dream because she had to support herself financially.  She

postponed college and jumped into the work force as a typing/filing clerk.  With perseverance and resilience, she learned on the job and advanced by working hard and learning ways to add value at work despite not having a degree.

After spending more than a dozen years juggling work, marriage, parenting and night school, she realized her dream and graduated with a BA and then an MBA.

It wasn't until she began to acknowledge and honor her life story, her truth and values, and make them her coda, that she found her place in the world, ultimately becoming a top C-Suite human resources executive. 

In her four decades of work, she not only found a path to being herself at work, but she became passionate about helping others do the same.  She learned from her own experiences that people only do their best, purpose-driven work when they bring their authentic selves to work in a way that feels right to them.

Knowing and living her Authenticity, she learned how to stand up for herself and her beliefs at work, to communicate honestly and frankly with co-workers and superiors and to foster diverse and inclusive workplaces.  

In her new book Authenticity Awakened: The Path to OWNING Your Life's Story and Fulfilling Your Purpose, Vicki guides readers on how to mine their life story to discover their pivotal moments, values and their purpose which together create the foundation for ultimate success and a rewarding work life. 

She helps others understand their pivotal life stories, their values and their purpose by providing tools, exercises and real-life examples.  She has also incorporated significant research on the topic.  As the awareness that one has of their authenticity deepens, it becomes increasingly more difficult to show up as someone they're not. 

"When you know your truth," she says, "you are more confident and resolute in your decisions and your relationships."

By awakening your Authenticity, you stop living someone else's life, cease simply going along with others' expectations of you, have the courage to admit your mistakes, ask for what you are worth, and have the courage to have difficult conversations with bosses and co-workers. She guides you on all of this!

All of this is interwoven with Vicki's heart-warming story of a young Hispanic woman determined to prove herself and find her place in the world, while creating an enriching and loving family life. And in so doing she left her mark on the people she met, served and lead at Sara Lee Corporation, Northern Trust and CIBC Bank USA, previously known as The PrivateBank.

Her incredibly practical guidebook holds great wisdom on how to communicate honestly, frankly and effectively in ways that will open doors, prevent conflict or resolve it, ask for what you are worth and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. The book concludes with a great chapter on 100 Ways to Authenticity!

Vicki addresses in Authenticity Awakened:

·         How to find your 5 pivotal moments and why this is important

·         How to identify your values and apply that knowledge

·         When and how to share personal information in a work setting

·         How to face your fears at work (and elsewhere!)

·         The role curiosity plays in your success

·         How to decide whether to stay or go 

If you would like to have Vicki Znavor on your show to inspire Authenticity Reawakened, please send an email with the name of the show, your contact information, a proposed date and time, and the call-in details.  

Vicki Znavor rose from typing and filing clerk with only a high school diploma to a highly recognized Human Resources top executive at some of America’s leading global companies.

She did all that while raising a family and earning her college and MBA degrees.

And now she is teaching some of the most critical lessons she discovered about being Authentic in the workplace to others with her new book Authenticity Reawakened: The Path To OWNING Your Life’s Story and Fulfilling Your Purpose.

Her years in the corporate sector encompassed an impressive array of roles with major impact on the lives of people she served and supported. 

Vicki was the Chief Human Resources Officer for CIBC Bank USA, previously known as The PrivateBank.  In that role, she served as a member of the U.S. executive leadership team and was accountable for the strategic leadership of the bank’s people strategy focused on building a more diverse and inclusive organization, attracting and retaining top talent, and incenting behaviors that resulted in long-term value creation. 

Prior to joining The PrivateBank, Vicki was Vice President, Learning & Development at Northern Trust where she helped develop global people programs linking behaviors, performance and strategy.

She spent most of her career at Sara Lee Corporation in a variety of positions in Tax, Treasury, HR and Change Management.  She was the global HR leader for Sara Lee’s transformation where she focused on managing the impact of massive change on more than 140,000 employees worldwide. 

Vicki has an MBA with a focus on Leadership and Change Management from DePaul University’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business.  Selected as a Notable HR Leader by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2020 and one of ALPFA’s Most Powerful Latinas in 2019, she serves on several not-for-profit boards focusing on literacy and alleviating human suffering. 

Vicki lives in Indiana and likes to spend her free time with her husband Tom visiting their children and grandchildren. 

I would like to be interviewed to introduce the launching of my fourth book, Only Good Comes To Me introducing the LEP Frequency Tool (April, Publisher is Waterside Productions, book agent is Bill Gladstone). This important book demonstrates how to work with energy (vibrational frequencies) through the Laws of Vibration, Polarity and Attraction to bring desires in the conscious mind into physical realities. It explains vibrational frequencies in a remarkable take home message method explaining the quantum living approach, and the use of the Violet energy, (the purest energy available to mankind for healing and manifestation) while engaging and encouraging readers to rebuild their life to their specifications using the LEP Frequency Tool. The instructions within the pages are clear and simple to apply, and what makes this book even more unique is that includes assessments and supplements to identify the readers personal vibrational frequency in all the areas of consciousness mental, emotional, physical/sensory, and spiritual energy fields, in the current moment, so immediate changes can be made to raise frequencies to begin creating the future the reader wants to face or eliminate discord in their life. Since energy can only send at the frequency it receives, it is vital to vibrate as high as possible to achieve desired results.

AWARENESS IS NOT ENOUGH!

As a psychology professor for many years and a metaphysical author/speaker who has given numerous seminars on the use of energy I began to see that people have become desensitized to the concept of “change your thoughts change your life.” They get it, they are aware of it, but it doesn’t seem to work for them. The concept is no long er new and pretty much dead-on arrival for most people because awareness and giving some basic information about how to change thoughts doesn’t go far enough! Results are not seen because the process is incomplete.

Awareness must start the process. But without the deeper work of alignment of all human consciousness fields (mental, emotional, physical/sensory and spiritual) desires will not appear. People and the entire universe is made of energy. This energy is impersonal running only on vibrational frequencies. If you want change in your life and live the future you want to face, you must work with laws of the universe (Law of Vibration, Polarity and Attraction). This is not magic, or heresy. This is basic physics. For manifestations you must increase personal vibrational frequencies in full alignment in ALL consciousness fields to achieve the desired goal. For example, when you vibrate high in the mental consciousness meaning that you are mentally mature, logical and can make decent decisions in your professional or personal life, but vibrate low in the emotional (lack of maturity), or spiritual (belief systems) this is a misalignment and you will not achieve desired results. You may attain successful outward life, have a great career, money etc. but may be emotionally or spiritually tortured, or at the very least unhappy and unfulfilled.

The energy only works (attracts to you) in collective alignment when all consciousness fields are in harmony.  In order to understand if you are in alignment before you can manifest you need to have the ability assess your personal vibrational frequency fields.  This is why this book is so unique, as it not only explains energy, but details how to increase vibrational frequencies and offers assessments to assess personal vibrational frequency in the current moment. It allows the person to BE THE FIELD OF ENERGY THAT ATTRACTS because they are aligned with ALL fields of consciousness, not just the thoughts, or the images in the mind.

Dr. ANA HARVEY (aka Doctor Phenomena) is a retired psychology professor, and an established author of several successful books in the genre of education, and metaphysics. In addition, she is an esteemed self-development speaker who holds seminars and workshops to teach people how to increase their personal vibrational frequencies; thereby granting them the tools they need to live in a world of well-being, abundance, and prosperity. She has been given the nickname of Doctor Phenomena because of her extensive research, seminars and books on the life phenomena of human beings. Check out her many shows on youtube.

Doctor Harvey holds a doctoral degree from Grand Canyon University in leadership, and two masters’ degrees in psychology and public administration from Northcentral University and Marist College, respectively, and a Bachelor’s of Science from Marist College. Dr. Harvey’s LEP seminars and books bring a fresh interpretation of scientific, psychology, and metaphysical philosophies to use as tools when working with energy to create the future each participant and/or reader wants to face and the life they wish to live!

Hello! My name is Darren Sadge & Iv'e been in Ethann Fox's Lightworker program for the past 2 years. I have 3 yuotube videos & one interview with Todd Medina available on my website listed above.The core essence of my teaching is to serve as a messenger of love, a heart centered way of living & to awaken others into an experience of their divine nature!My

My biography can be accessed on my web page by clicking on the About page.

Hello,

I am a music producer from a group called Your Machine and I just submitted our latest single for radio play.

The interesting story here is that 1) after I built my recording studio last year and covid hit, I was forced to create a "remote band" online and start working with artists from around the world remotely. This definitely has its ups and downs but with me in the U.S., the guitar and bass player in Austria, and singers in London and the U.K., we have been able to produce high quality music and covid actually brought us together; and 2) I spend 10 years getting a PhD in sociology/criminology only to realize I wanted to produce music and left academia in 2019 to build my studio, etc.

That's a summary of the professional and personal stories that are interesting. If it's interesting to you, please let me know.

I think the most important takeaway from this is that you can still play and produce in the wake of a pandemic. Some aspects of the production process are harder but some are easier. 

Let me know what you think!

I'll pasted some more from our press release below. 

Social distancing has been quite tough, to say the least; but not enough to hold these musicians back!

Your Machine consists of artists from around the world, collaborating together in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. When the traditional ways of collaborating on and promoting music essentially disappeared, producers David (drummer from the U.S.) and Mark (bassist/guitarist from Austria) connected online in January 2020. They began recording their album remotely - which is, let’s face it, part of the new business model for many musicians, even at the highest professional tiers of the industry. 

Aside from the band's biography and history, I grew up in the U.S. and had a lot of behavior problems as a child. I was almost killed by police in my hometown when I was 14, had several felonies before I was 16, and had entered a life of crime and drugs by 19. It was a lifestyle that finally caught up to me in 2008.

So I moved back home to try and sober up/clean up and went back to school to get a BA in criminal justice, MA sociology/criminology, PhD in sociology/criminology, which was great, but I couldn't ever kick the drug and alcohol habit until 2019.

At the end of 2019 everything came to a precipice and I was able to finally get the help I needed, get away from the stresses of academia, and get back into music which the studio, teaching myself bass, guitar, and keys laster etc., ultimately saved me after a year of intense recovery!

These are just the highlights. 

And obviously, as a PhD, I have many relevant talking points related to social behavior, social psychology, culture, etc.

Best, 

David
