We are living in a time of adversity and change. At a time when 63% of Americans believe that the quality of life for themselves and their children’s future is far less than it was in the past. At a time when we must thrive, not survive! No matter how successful you are there are roadblocks between where you are and where you want to be. If your career is going great, maybe you don’t have enough time for your kids. If your relationship with your kids is great, maybe your love relationship stinks. It’s time to take back control of your life. The place to start is taking control of you. Do you know what you need to do and yet you don’t do it? Whether you want to quit smoking, eat healthier, or be happier this is the show for you. This week and next week our guests will focus on practical steps to gain influence over your subconscious mind and re-wire your brain to achieve the results you desire! In this program, Dr. Thomas Griggs, clinical psychologist and author of the upcoming book Getting Real: The Key to Personal Power reveals four steps to personal transformation and sustainable personal change. You will learn how to understand negative emotions and put positive emotions in their place.

And, shake off what got you down last week with Tank the Wonder Dog and your co-hosts America’s Mindset Mechanic Julie Rahm and the incomparable Johnny Novice. Julie and Johnny help recent empty-nesters shake off the blahs in their relationship. Then, they help a man shake off frequent public criticism from his boss.

Finally, did you know that since 9/11/01 8.3 kids per week who live in military families have experienced the loss of a parent in service to our country? How do you talk with kids about terrorism and war? Julie and Johnny provide tips for parents and caregivers during the segment Military Kids Speak.
