Fully Empowered Radio July 6th: NYTimes Best-Selling Author Lisa Bloom

Wednesday, July 6th 12 Noon ET

Listen to the archive of this show here

Lisa Bloom, best-selling author of "THINK: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World" joins Christine.

Christine came across Lisa when she read Lisa's article on Huffington Post "How To Talk To Little Girls".  It was such a powerful and important message, Christine didn't hesitate to invite Lisa to be on Fully Empowered.

Join a lively and important discussion that will help empower both women and girls!

Lisa Bloom is a national television legal analyst, award-winning speaker and journalist, and trial attorney who urges women to wake up, take control of their minds and their lives, and get informed about what’s happening around the globe in her first book, the New York Times Best-Seller, Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World.

She is a strong advocate for civil rights and the Philadelphia Enquirer has this to say about her:

“Feisty, articulate, and driven — she qualified last week for the Boston Marathon . . . a personal intensity and a fierce sense of outrage about women’s and civil rights, child welfare, and the abuse of power.”     Philadelphia Enquirer

Award winning journalist, television legal analyst, trial attorney and daughter of renowned women's rights attorney Gloria Allred, Lisa Bloom, publishes her first book, the New York Times Best-Seller, Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World (Vanguard Press;  ISBN: 978-1-59315-659-6; $25.99; Hardcover), which boldly argues that the women of today represent a stark paradox. In Think, Lisa showcases that while girls and women shine in many areas (such as outperforming boys at every level of education, preschool through grad school); they have concurrently lost focus and even regressed in some frightening ways. At a time when 23% of women would rather lose their ability to read than their figures, Lisa fears that women are in danger of spiraling into a nation of dumbed-down, tabloid media-obsessed, reality TV addicts.  For example, the majority of us can't name a single branch of government, but nearly everyone can name at least one Kardashian.

In this entertaining, eye-opening and thoroughly-researched new book, Lisa outlines the ways that we as a society, and particularly women, have allowed our brains to atrophy and, very specifically, outlines the damage our ignorance is causing to our personal lives, our nation, and our world.  She shows us the fallout—but also provides the step-by-step solutions for “Reclaiming the Brains God Gave Ya," and seizing back control of your time, your mind, and your life. Lisa’s impassioned plea is for women to connect and become meaningful, proactive contributors both nationally and globally.  Packed with unnerving facts (did you know that 70% of American adults have not set foot in a bookstore in over five years?) and "aha!" moments (Lisa shows one trick that will give nearly every woman an extra hour to think daily), Think gets you thinking again!

Lisa Bloom has been a daily fixture on American television for the last decade.  She is currently a CBS News Legal Analyst, appearing regularly on “The Early Show” and “CBS Evening News with Katie Couric,” as well as the legal analyst for “The Dr. Phil Show.”  Lisa appears regularly on CNN and HLN prime time shows such as “Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell,” “The Joy Behar Show,” “AC 360,” and “The Situation Room.”  She has been featured on “Oprah,” “Nightline,” “Today,” “Good Morning America,” “Rachael Ray,” and many more and she was a nightly panelist on “The Insider” throughout 2010.  From 2001–2009, Bloom hosted her own daily, live, national show on Court TV.

 

In addition, she has published numerous popular and scholarly articles in the Los Angeles Times, Family Circle, The National Law Journal, CNN.com, The Daily Beast, and many more. Bloom has also been profiled, featured, and quoted in many publications, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, Elle, Vegetarian Times, and Variety.

Lisa graduated early and Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA, where she won the national college debate championship, and then from the Yale Law School, where she won the moot court competition.  She currently lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her law firm, The Bloom Firm.  In the past year, Lisa has represented Oksana Grigorieva, Michael Lohan, and Michaele and Tareq Salahi.  TheWrap.com recently named Lisa one of the top five celebrity attorneys in Los Angeles.

 

Embracing Feminine Uniqueness

By Christine Agro

Embracing Feminine Uniqueness is the next concept on our journey to becoming fully empowered.  Our first step was acknowledging and embracing the notion that we, as Spirit, chose to incarnate as Spirit in a female body.  As the earth is shifting in her awarenss and growth, so are we and as we move more and more into our own conscious awareness we can come to see that everything about our life is connected to what we wanted to learn this lifetime and the growth we hoped to have, not as humans, but as Spiritual beings.

When we decided to incarnate,and yes, this was a choice, we set out a plan for our lifetime.  We made Spiritual agreements,  or contracts, with those Spirits that would be our parents, our siblings, our teachers and those who would play influential roles in our lives - whether perceived in the physical world as good or bad. Our lives are a mater of choice (conscious or unconscious) and our purpose each lifetime is to learn, heal and evolve.   As we step into greater consciousness, greater awareness of our lives as Spirit with a body, how we go about learning, healing and growing begins to change and shift away from chaos, pain, suffering and struggle, to an experience of grace, ease and the pure joy in connecting our Spirit to the physical form.

So what does this have to do with Feminine Uniqueness?  Well, if we step back and reflect on the notion that we chose to be Spirit in a female body this lifetime, then along with that notion we only invalidate ourselves if we do not embrace the uniqueness of who we are.  We become the symptom of our own dis-empowerment.

There are many aspects of being Spirit with a female body that offer uniqueness.  We have breasts, we have a vagina,  we have a clitoris and labia, we have a uterus and ovaries (and even if you no longer have these aspects of your physical body, they are still an energetic component of your physical manifestation and they deserve to be celebrated for their existence and mourned for their loss).  We have a menses, not a period.  Our menses is not a burden, or a problem or something to be  erased for a year at a time.  It is something that makes us unique and is rich in the ebb and flow of creation and the Divine Feminine.   But in addition to the surface uniqueness, we have energetic and psychic Feminine Uniqueness.

We have Female Creative Energy that helps us create and manifest.  We are energetic healers, absorbing, nurturing and healing the pains of others through our breasts, our ovaries and our uterus.   We are intuitive.  We run the Feminine Principle, an energy that is circular in thought process, that is introspective, that is creative by nature and that seeks to collaborate rather than separate.

These are just a few of the elements of Feminine Uniqueness that go along with your choice to be a woman this lifetime.

Take some time to sit and celebrate all that you are as a woman.

Embrace your Feminine Uniqueness.

And if you would like to experience and explore your Feminine Uniqueness join Christine Agro for her next I Am Woman course - which beings on Tuesday, July 26th at 9:30 pm ET (6:30 pm PT/7:30 pm MT/ 8:30 pm CT and 7 am on Wednesday in Delhi)  click here to find out more!

Why Women Are Born Empowered

By Christine Agro

I was meditating one day and I took a journey to the Temple of Knowledge.   The Temple of Knowledge appeared to me as a great stone structure with corridors leading in many directions.  Within the Temple of Knowledge, all teachers past, present and future have teaching rooms. Along the corridors there were rooms too many to count, and peaking inside a few I would find people gathered and learning.

As I walked along I came to a beautiful Healing Garden and stopped to sit in it for a while. It was full of lush green plants, a pool to reflect in or float in, and the smell of fragrant flowers filled the air.  As I rested in the Healing Garden, I could feel the energies shift and clear in my own body, making me lighter and more at ease.  While there I asked "why was I brought here?"  I was compelled to get up and leave the Healing Garden and I followed the energetic pull to a strikingly beautiful altar.  The altar was surrounded by what looked like silver and gold filigree but with a closer look, I saw that it was silver and gold flowers, unlike any I had ever seen. Upon the alter stood the Divine Feminine, dressed in a deep rich purple robe adorned with the same silver and gold filigree.  She was wearing a jewel encrusted crown and without even questioning it, I knew that each stone was used to support the energy of the divine feminine.  Garnet for peace, healing and protection; Ruby for passion and guidance; Emerald for wisdom and hope; Amethyst for Divine Knowledge; Peridot for patience and purpose and Citrine for abundance and manifesting .

I asked her why I was there and she opened her robe and gave me three keys.  She told me that these were the keys to unlock the true power of woman, the powers of "Divine Being" ,"Divine Connection" and "Divine Knowingness"

This was several years ago and the meaning and purpose of the meditation has become clearer and clearer as my work with women has continued.  In my search to understand the keys, the meaning of the first key has defined itself.

The key of Divine Being rests in this single most empowering concept: We chose to be women!

Let this sit with you for a minute or two.  We chose to be women.

As I have delved deeper and deeper into our metaphysical being, I have come to see and understand that before we are even born, when we are still pure Spirit, we decide what form we want to take this lifetime - male or female. It is one of the first choices we make for the life we are creating. This information has come from working with women who are trying to conceive and during our sessions I have been able to connect with the Spirits of their soon-to-be child and learn from these Spirits what our process is.  The choice to be man or woman is one of our first choices.

And in making the choice to be woman, we are inherently empowered.  It is our Divine Being.  This is the first key to unlocking the true power of women.

Everything that says we are less, or limited, or unequal is a manifestation of  the Masculine Principle, the energy force that currently informs most of the worlds law and religion.  Masculine Principle does not mean 'man', it is an energy construct comprised of linear thinking, control and outward focus of energy.

Although we live in the environments we find ourselves, the key of Divine Being, can and does empower you from within.  Knowing that you are a woman because you choose to be, can give you the power to say 'no thank you' to the laws, rules and restrictions which are man-made.  We are not less, we are not limited, we are Divinely Woman!

We have many gifts and attributes that come with this choice and in future posts I will explore these with you.

But for now, let the notion that you chose to be a woman radiate through your entire being - your body, your energy field, and be sure to let me know if and how this changes how you walk in your world.

The Fabulous Divya Chandra

Divya Chandra – Actor, Director & Playwright

Divya Chandra is on a quest to understand life and empowered living. Her explorations have led her to the stage, to dancing, singing, theatre movement, yoga and energy work. Her journey as an actor, director & playwright has given her a unique eye and an understanding in to the limitations we put on ourselves. As an actor, Divya is committed to work on projects that break the certified notions of glam and affectation prefixed with the profession, framing new foundations of transformative-mission oriented art.

As a writer & director she aims to create work that transcends  cultural confines in story-telling, co- creating opportunities for like-minded artists to explore and re-define 'performance' as a movement for self-discovery. Her goal is to spread awareness about our relationship to the environment, responsible advertising & the changing role of women in the shifting paradigm of gender dynamics. Divya has worked on several Indian and international projects, collaborating with directors, filmmakers and artists to create conscientious work escalating both the ‘self’ and societal awareness.

Divya wrote and directed her first play "Sangam: Where The Three Rivers Meet" in 2010. She is working on a documentary film currently titled "The Awakening" and she is working on a new play.

In 2009 Divya founded BooGio11 Productions with an intention to revamp the current paradigm in the theatre & film realm in India, returning it to its more organic roots as a means to self discovery, transformation and value creation. The aim of the company has been to be a collaboration of like-minded artists towards initiating projects that create value for both the artists and the audience, rather than just to exist as a business entity.

The intent is to create projects  to bring back, organic elements that go into making a play. Yet employing all the new ingredients that we have at our disposal at present –  high technology in terms of light and sound, multimedia etc and marrying those with the timeless elements  of music,  dance, mythology & spirituality  to create works of art that blend modern efficiency with the depth of tradition.
