International Radio Personality?

Perhaps! Today I did the second radio show with Natassja “Lady NV” Bynoe. Her show originates in Barbados, but has an audience in Africa and Europe, a combination of lively music (I heard reggae in the background today) sprinkled with talk. As before, we had fun! Plus, she sent us a photo of her reading my book as her dog sat on her lap! (She told me today that in her town, her dog gets recognized more than she does!) I guess it went well today because I’ll be on again next week! Thanks, Natassja!

I also did an interview with Phil Hulett & Friends this week, based in Southern California. It was short but fast-paced and I really like these guys! You can check out Phil, his friends, and show at: http://philhulettandfriends.com/

Both these shows were on how to recover from relationship hell (been there, done that—not going to do that again…ever)!

Natassja “Lady NV” Bynoe and her adorable pooch!  I wonder if they’re both reading my book! 

This has been a popular subject lately for shows I’ve done. I think most people can relate to the concept. The first challenge in getting out of relationships hell is to be willing to embrace failure and see it as an opportunity to grow emotionally, spiritually and learn from it. These are not new concepts but ones I try to make easier for readers of my book by inserting real-world exercises at the end of each chapter (here’s what I did, now it’s your turn). But I also take this concept to its outer reaches by advising people that if they can come to actually take more creative ownership and a certain, if perverse, pride in how badly they’ve messed up, they stand a much better chance of creating the sort of healthy and loving relationship for themselves in the future.

So, here’s to you folks out there who are still struggling, in small and not-so-small ways. Don’t give up the quest for happiness. You can do it! I know you can!
