Are Relationships Meant to Be Forever?



We see celebrities in and out of relationships and we are fascinated with the activity. The news of new romance, lavish weddings and crash and burn splits grace the cover of almost every magazine that faces us at the check-out stand.

But are relationships meant to be forever?

Take the recent split of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.  In J-Lo’s upcoming Vanity Fair interview she said “Sometimes it doesn’t work—and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love…”

Should we see relationships as failures when they end?

From a metaphysical perspective our intimate relationships are the number one place that we work on our life lessons, and our life lessons contain the how, why and what of what we are here to do. If we want to be empowered, we may unconsciously manifest a relationship in which we need to fight to be heard, or to be seen.  If we want to value ourselves, we may unconsciously manifest a relationship where cheating or some form of diminishment is involved so that we can get to a place where we stand up for ourselves.

Fully Empowered Radio Show: August 10th Creative Vision Mentor Day



Listen live Wednesday, August 10th at 12 Noon ET on www.SQR.fm

Up and coming fashion designer Radha Dumra is today's Creative Vision Mentor guest.  Join in to hear about Radha's journey to creating not only the clothes of her dreams but the life of her dreams.  Christine will work with Radha on air, using Christine's Creative Vision Mentor process, and help Radha to see her dream as her reality

Born in London and raised in India, Radha Dumra has always had a passion for fashion and textile. Her initial exposure to the industry came from the family business that has been in the knitwear industry for 35 years.



To hone her talent Radha relocated  to London where she immersed herself in the rich multi cultural experience that London offers.

She graduated with first class degree from the London College of Fashion and also from the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN (NIFT) in New Delhi.

Radha’s design centric monochrome aesthetic attention to detail & infallible ability to deliver has afforded her the opportunity to work with several international designers most notably Michiko Koshino and Kisa London.

Since the inception of her knitwear label 'RADHA DUMRA' in 2011, black is the color that takes centre stage in her collection, served hot with new colour tones each season. Inspired from surrealism, body modification, anti trend and the idea that nothing is perfect and nothing lasts forever. Radha’s designs are for fashion-forward individuals who understand how the understated modesty of monochrome can create the desired impact. Her clothes are designed exclusively for those who are nonconformist, self-empowered,bold, proud and in control.

RADHA DUMRA is stocked in various fashion boutiques in London including the online boutique 'NOT JUST A LABEL' and are also available for private commissions.

Fully Empowered Radio Show: Aug 3- Gender Equality in Media



Listen to the archived show here

 

My special guest is Madeline Di Nonno, Executive Director of The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and See Jane.  We'll be talking about why gender representation in media matters and what message it sends to young children.

Six years ago, while watching children's television programs and videos with her young daughter, Academy Award winner Geena Davis noticed a remarkable imbalance in the ratio of male to female characters. From that small starting point, Davis went on to raise funds for the largest research project ever undertaken on gender in children's entertainment (resulting in 4 discrete studies, including one on children's television).
The research showed that in the top-grossing G-rated films, there were three male characters for every one female - a statistic that still has not improved.

The concern was clear: What message does this send to young children?

The Institute is the leading resource for gender in media research, trends and education for the entertainment industry and the public.

SEE JANE is a program of the Institute that utilizes research, education and advocacy to engage the entertainment industry and recognize the need for gender balance and varied portrayals of females and male characters into movies, TV, and other media aimed at children 11 and under. We work cooperatively and collaboratively with entertainment creators to encourage them to be leaders in creating positive change

Today's one of those days that 'go-with-the-flow' works best in life.  I have an appointment at 8 am ET and I don't know if I will make it to the show by 12 Noon ET.  I certainly hope I do, but either way I have a great guest or a great guest host for you.

Either way - the fabulous Julia Stonestreet Smith will be here as a guest or as a guest host. Julia hosts The Stonestreet Cafe. She is an Astrologer and the creator of the Planet Zones system of location astrology as well as a clairvoyant, a healer, a teacher, a writer and a perpetual student of life.

Julia will be looking at the 12 Moon Signs and giving you insight into how the moon signs affect us, especially as women!

Define Yourself!



By Christine Agro



For the past eight months I have been working on a special project, a book, to help women step into full empowerment.  One of the great things that happens when I write is that as I put down a thought, the energy of that thought spirals out showing me universal information and gives me a deeper understanding and greater context for that initial concept.

In the process of writing this book, many things have become deeply clear about our lives as women especially what keeps us separate from ourselves and from each other.  One area I've been gaining that deeper, more clear insight is in how we define ourselves.

Today I want to talk about religion and law.
