NEW Music Heard Between Talk Shows! We'll Be Your Favorite!

Headlined Show, On The Level November 8, 2017

This week my special guest is actress, producer, writer, and director Amy Brennaman! She is best known for her portrayal of a juvenile court judge and divorced mother on the CBS hit drama 'JUDGING AMY' which garnered her a People’s Choice Award and three Emmy nominations. We will be discussing the multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations charged against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Concurrently, numerous women are now coming forward with sexual harassment allegations against other high-profile men in the entertainment, tech and news industries, in what some are calling "The Weinstein Ripple Effect". It is a great honor to have Amy's perspective on the current state of women in the entertainment industry today and the abuse of power. Please join us for a much needed conversation about what needs to be done.

Headlined Show, Insight Out...the Naked Truth November 7, 2017

Really?  Because that's what we thought, too.  Which is why "That's What I Thought" is our featured phrase of the week.

Lots to think about--too much probably.  So Rochelle and I try and focus our thoughts on what really matters and how we would know.

 
You can say, "That's What I Thought" meaning, "I used to think that, but now I think otherwise, (and I'll continue to think "otherwise" until a new and improved "otherwise" comes along.)
 
Or you might say, "That's What I Thought" meaning "Oh, I thought that, too......as in great minds think alike, or more often than not, ignorant minds, etc...."
 
Or "That's What I Thought" can just be a general statement that references some thought that has stayed with you regardless of its truth or accuracy, and stubbornly holds on because it's wedded to your suppositions.
 
Please join us on our program tonight and let's see if we can come up with some "That's What I Thought's" that really advance our understanding and facilitate our capacity to think "the best" (of each other at least--a good place to begin.)
 
Our conversation will include humor, stories, music, characters and insights...oh...and invariably some surprises, even to the point of realizing upon hearing a new great thought that you thought that all along, but didn't realize it....... as in "That's What I Thought. Wow! I didn't know I was so smart."  (Don't let it go to your head...even great thoughts that go un-examined start to atrophy and even stink.
 
Until tonight, we continue to be
Rochelle A. & Errol Strider.
"That's What I Thought."

Cosmic LOVE Guest, Bruce BecVar December 10, 2016
Multi-instrumentalist and composer.

BRUCE BECVAR

Bruce BecVar is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and composer. Having produced and recorded 14 CDʼs since 1986 on his label Shining Star Productions, BecVar is considered a veteran in the world of acoustic guitar. His Forever Blue Sky was on the top ten New Age Billboard charts during the 1990’s.


The World Music label Narada featured one of his Nuevo Flamenco pieces on their highly successful flamenco guitar sampler called Gypsy Passion.

BecVar was also featured on the first Windham Hill Guitar Sampler. One of BecVar’s most successful musical projects is his immensely popular three-album series The Magic of Healing Music commissioned by Deepak Chopra. The series, based on ancient Ayurvedic principles, consists of music for Vata, Pitta and Kapha, each intended to balance the particular body “Dosha” for which it was named.



Some of the world class musicians that have appeared on BecVar’s recordings include, Alex Acuna Of Weather Report), younger brother Brian BecVar (Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Kitaro,), Paul McCandless (Windham Hill) and Steve Reid (The Rippingtons).



BecVar also spent many years as a guitar builder. His art and skill in the making and embellishing of instruments, along with growing recognition for his guitar compositions, brought him to Northern California in the early 70’s. He set up shop in Sonoma where he became well- known as a luthier, making one-of-a-kind electric guitars for such world-class rock h’ roll bands as The Who, The Peter Frampton Band, Led Zeppeiin, The Jackson Five, Earth, Wind & Fire and Carlos Santana. One of his guitars, ornate with exotic inlay and carving, now resides in the permanent collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A seeker and healer as well as an artist, BecVar makes music for its effect on people’s lives. Listeners report feeling uplifted, soothed and joyful on hearing his music. “Composing and recording is for me a very spiritual practice,” says BecVar. “it’s an exacting process listening to the creative impulses of Spirit and being diligent about translating what I hear into a finished recording that captures

that original essence in its most undiluted form.”

The People Speak Guest, Camryn December 06, 2016
Certified Life Coach, Psychic Reader

Camryn about herself:

I have had many premonitions in my lifetime. The most intense premonition I've had was one month before the Sept 11 attacks I was at work and I felt an overwhelming sense of doom that filled me with fear. As I looked out the window, I had a very vivid image of an airplane crashing through that window. I was so frightened and I had to take a few moments to get myself together. The second premonition was when I heard a voice tell me, "you will have cancer, but you will survive." Two months later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. Three years later, I am cancer free.

In life we are always changing and evolving and the keys that unlock transformative power are the words we use. I encourage you to seek guidance by using the power of affirmations to catapult change in their lives. Change is difficult but it is often surprising and beautiful. I will be straightforward with you and tell you what I see and sense. I will encourage you not to be afraid of anything because fear is not empowering but destructive. I can help you find that inner peace you\'ve been searching for. At times, life may present you with so many problems that you just don't know what to do. But there is a way, there is always a way. There is no problem that cannot be overcome.

I've often felt as if I was put on this world to provide comfort to those in turmoil and this is my life's purpose, e.g. to heal the soul.

If you are having difficulty coping with issues, such as childhood trauma, alcohol/drug addiction in the family or divorce or health issues, let me bring you comfort and understanding to these most complex and difficult issues.

You may choose to have a psychic reading, tarot reading or angel card reading. My gifts include clairaudience and clairsentience along with the gift of empath.

When I hear your voice or "sense your vibration (in a chat session), I automatically pick up on your vibrational energy and can literally sense or hear what spirit is telling me about you. I trust what I call the "Divine Energy of Life" who has consistently been with me throughout my entire life. It feels like a force field surrounding me with a bright light of protection. Together, you and I along with this divine spirit will find solutions to your each and every problem.

Why Am I So Happy Guest, Meghan Hanna December 06, 2016
“2 Chicks Vodka” creator

“2 Chicks Vodka” creator Meghan Hanna

Besides being able to talk freely about healthy eating, share some festive vodka-infused holiday recipes, and staying in shape for summer, Meghan has such an interesting upbringing.  As a young girl growing up with two mothers (her mother being in a same-sex relationship), Meghan’s amazingly unique and rewarding upbringing led her to creating the successful “2 Chicks” brand. The brand is predominantly known for its health-conscious female beverages “2 Chicks Vodka”.

The California-state university graduate is renowned for her bubbly, inspirational attitude to life and optimism all of which has made her one of the state’s most popular entrepreneurs. Meghan is tipped for big things in the future (TV is buzzing!) but for the moment she’s happy with where she is… all thanks to her “moms”.

Galactic Connection Guest, Jenny Marks December 06, 2016
Energetic guide, metaphysical artist

Jenny Marks is an metaphysical artist who communicates multidimensional Light Language Messages from her Guides that unlock other’s resonant DNA codes — via blog posts, lectures, workshops, and “Energetic Frequency Signature” Bundles (glyph drawings + galactic scripts + ancient language speaking). She creates ongoing messages about living life creatively during this time of the “Ascension” + the Shifting dimensional landscape that we exist in now–encouraging co-creators of the Collective to re-mem-ber their true nature + develop their unique Energy Signatures… inspiring creativity into this New Earth template through the Language of Light. A Rainbow Guardian bridging ancient wisdom + modern life, she is a portal opener of Galactic service assisting the rise of all Gaia frequencies to higher dimensions together with joy.

Since childhood, Jenny has experienced the world multidimensionally + expressed herself through various art forms. Her mother + twin aunt were artists who started an art department in a local college where Jenny had access to extensive art mediums + facilities. She was always attracted to codes+ languages + symbols, especially Egyptian hieroglyphs, ancient writings + various alternative performance art forms. Often she would experience many of her senses crossing — she would hear music + see colors + energy movement, she would touch objects + hear sounds + see shapes, taste various flavors then experience shapes + imagery in her mind’s eye. Later she read about a phenomenon called “Synesthesia” which she very much related to. Jenny would always draw new symbols, dance + act out various forms of expression + make up new languages with her friends.  Even in her early artwork she incorporated what felt like galactic writing symbols + would talk in languages unknown to her. Recently she discovered a phenomenon of metaphysical expression referred to as “Light Language” or “Language of Light” — and realized this was what she was doing, along with many others in the world. The forms of Light Language expression are limitless — each person manifests their expression in their own unique way… drawing, dancing, cooking, language speaking + script symbol writing. She believes there is a universal Light Language and various manifestations that everyone speaks inherently; Light Language is a higher dimensional form of expression — when shared it is understood collectively by others at some level… there is just a knowing.  The more one is exposed to the Light Language of others, the more they begin to awaken to their own expression of Language of Light + often begin communicating it themselves.  Light Language is a form of higher dimensional awakening of our embedded Light Codes that exist in our cells + body systems that we can tap into. During this time NOW of profound energetic shifting in the world, our hidden body codes are awakening + coming “online” + Light Language further awakens the Collective consciousness.
