Welcome back!
Do you sometimes lose sight of who you really are? Have you been so focused on taking care of others that you not only overlook your personal stress and unhappiness, but neglect to nourish yourself? Or maybe you’ve experienced an unexpected pregnancy that completely unraveled life as you knew it. You”™re in good company!
Martha Beck, one of the best-known life coaches and authors in America, has been there too. She has a PhD from Harvard and is a mother of three who now has the blueprint to stress-free living. Oprah says “She’s one of the smartest women I know,” and I have to agree. There is smart, and then there is genius. I graduated from Seattle University with honors at the age of 18, but nothing I learned in academia ever taught me how to live joyfully.
Martha will join me on The Mommy-Muse Is In: Empowering Your Journey into Motherhood to share her life-changing ideas, answer your questions and discuss her books, The Joy Diet: 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life and Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic.
The Joy Diet is designed for the soul and its nurturing. I read The Joy Diet two years ago, and it has become an integral part of my life. It consists of ten simple, but profound steps which guide us to reclaiming our birthright of living joyfully. Some of you might not immediately embrace the idea of adding anything extra into your life, but I assure you, this is worth it! I began the Joy Diet when my children were 1 and 4 years old, homeschooling, without enough time to take a daily shower! The steps involved require very little time, and the rewards can dramatically reshape your life for your highest good.
Expecting Adam is an autobiographical account of a young mother awaiting the birth of a Down syndrome baby while pursuing a doctorate at Harvard. The New York Times Book Review said: “It is hardly important that this is a story about bearing and raising an exceptional child ““ a son with Down syndrome-in exceptional circumstances. Beck is telling it for all women who have raised exceptional children and ended up feeling privileged, and for all mothers who have found communities that put a high value on material accomplishments simply unbearable.”
Dr. Beck is an expert on the stresses and challenges modern women face, and a master at reconnecting people with their own best destinies. She consistently offers powerful methods for solving the problems that beset all of us. Dr. Beck’s passion is reconnecting people with their essential selves. You are in for a treat as you tune in to let her gentle advice assist you in solving problems while fostering your strengths and creativity.
Join us tomorrow, December 2nd at Noon Pacific Time/3 PM Eastern Time on The Mommy-Muse Is In: Empowering Your Journey into Motherhood on the VoiceAmerica.com Health and Wellness Channel.
