Author, Speaker and Creator of Everything Powerful in the department of Women. Women seeking their ultimate authentic selves have turned to Nancy Kerner for over 20 years. Improving the quality of their relationships, healing toxic relationships, releasing from addictive behaviours are a few areas of expertise that Vision Dancer Productions offers support.Tweet

Womensville is happy to participate in a four week mini series with Nancy Kerner as a way to support Nancy’s Upcoming Book Launch of “The Power of Sexy Relationships.” Stories from the heart to live your passion and embrace your purpose.

Here is the first discussion between long time friends Andrea MacLeod (founder of womensville) and Nancy Kerner talking about real and personal questions that women have about what it means to live a life that is powerful, purposeful and sexy and why those qualities bring such richness to our life and our relationship.

Session 1: (30min.) “The Power of Sexy.” All women love feeling sexy, don’t they?

Session 2: (30min.) “The Power of Clarity.”  Are women looking for love or purpose, how to know if being in a long term committed relationship is what you really want.

Session 3: (30min) “The Power of Intimacy” Andrea and Nancy share intimately their own personal stories of how numbing their pain with alcohol and freeing themselves from that power of addition and relearning how to communicate, feel and deal with their emotions in a healthy way.

Session 4: (30min) “The Power of Hormones” Andrea asks Nancy common questions that the uneducated woman has about women and her hormones. What we need to know to be happy, healthy and well balanced women in the 21st Century.

Here is the Amazone Link to buy Nancy’s book!
Nancy is the founder of Vision Dancer Productions which hosts International Women’s Retreats and Events. In 2003 she co-created numerous outrageously fun events for women including the “You Are a Powerful Woman” Retreat; the Enlightened Woman’s Retreat; the Pleasure in Paradise: Swimming with Dolphins in Hawaii Retreat; Women Inspiring Women Retreat; and One Day Quickie Events such as, The Divine Feminine Writers Circle; Catch Your Dreams in Kona. She’s created and facilitated numerous Circles such as The Intuitive Leadership Circles in Canada and the USA; Activate the Source of Your Power – Cyber Circle; The Facilitator Mentoring and Support Cyber Circle.

Nancy was born and raised in San Diego, California. She moved to Seattle, Washington where she met and married her husband Manson Kerner, in 1979 and raised their two sons while building a log home, and then a ranch home on their 9 acres from raw land.

In 1988, after Nancy’s son had a near death experience, she sought help from a 12 Step Spiritual Recovery Program where she had her first conscious awakening. It was then that she was “downloaded” with a vision to assist women around the world in co-creating community, purpose, and love. The principles of the 12 Steps helped inspire Nancy’s own spiritual teachings, as well as other influences such as Oprah Winfrey, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, Bill Wilson & Dr. Bob, Robert Egan & Unity Church, Center for Spiritual Living, The Family of Women, Justin Sterling, David Deida, Satyan Raja, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Mona Lisa Shultz, Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, Hay House Publishing Company, and The Quantum Leap Program and Seminar’s through T. Harv Ecker.  Nancy studied at the American Institute of Holistic Theology; Doctor of Divinity.

Currently, Nancy uses the backdrop of Hawaii to open women’s hearts into experiencing a deeper surrender to pleasure and love. She is currently writing her books, agendas, events and retreats for women on the Big Island of Hawaii. She welcomes others to join this inspiring community of women for a day or a lifetime.

I’m going to keep this super simple for you men that ventured over here from Twitter nervously peering into the Womensville world of relationship insanity. (PS, thank you for being here. Now read, and then go back to what you were doing, there’s nothing more here for you.Thank you.)

FIRSTLY: Your Gift Needs to be Beautifully Wrapped with a Bow.  Spend $5 and get it gift wrapped at the mall. (even a bag of pepperoni, gift wrapped says “You’re worth it.” *Don’t even think about it!)

*

• JEWELRY in a gift box & GIFT WRAPPED. Ask a pretty clerk what’s a guaranteed hit and buy it.  (Two things to note: 1. gift box and 2. gift wrapped ok? Two things. Trying to keep’er simple for you.)
• LUSH; This is a hand made cosmetic store franchise. Get over the smell, walk in and buy the biggest PREWRAPPED box filled with their “top selling items”.  They range from about $50 -$200 and they all ROCK, every woman will love it!
• A NEW PHONE: Yes, even women love electronics for Christmas. Please take it to the mall and get it properly gift wrapped.

It’s that simple fella’s. You don’t need to go buy Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels to be a hit. Even Michael Jackson’s Doctor could afford these things. Keep it simple and get it gift wrapped!! GIFT WRAPPED!!

Women reading this, please add comments if you would like to add  “SURE FIRE TIPS” that will help men succeed this Christmas.

It’s officially fall and I made it through my relationship slump and all is WELL! It’s crazy but it’s the God’s honest truth that my relationship goes through this little ‘blip’ that lasts about two and a half months, right smack dab in the middle of summer.

As a homeschooling mom, who lives in a rainforest 9 months of the year, by the time mid spring rolls around I’m about done with everything. My kids can take a hike, my house’s state of spring cleaning is beyond ignoring and if my husband frets about things getting out of hand in the ‘routine’ department well…he can go unstuck himself! I am literally in a state of “I’m done! Let me enjoy my sunshine, I’ll be back mid September.”

Me thinking that this attitude is actually going to help me have a wonderful summer is embarrassing to admit. I’m such an idiot, I should know better.

I’ve had some insights of ‘self sabotage’ patterns and ‘holding back from ‘having it all’ with a sprinkle of ‘I’m not worthy’. Yah those kind of insights. Ewwww!

As I prepare for a production event I am managing next month, I’ve centered my goals around eliminating these three limiting beliefs and am counting on my team of powerful women to assist in my metamorphosis.

I’m feeling especially grateful that when my marriage is in a slump that I never worry about if we’re going to make it. That isn’t a question I ever ask. The question I ask myself is, “are you still going to love him even if your mad?” “OF COURSE I AM DIMWIT!”

One of the recent things I’ve said to my husband is this, “just because I’m mad doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” This has broken a string of patterns in itself and a tip I think is worthy of charging for. I hope some of you can relate, because sometimes I feel like a freak.
My conclusion is this: Andrea MacLeod needs to go shopping for big girl panties every spring, because she really needs to use em’ during summer or she’s gonna have to live with a grizzly ogre. I declare and vow to change my evil ways next year so that this pattern of destruction is gonzo!
 Thank you for connecting with me today. I am you, and you are me, which means I love you! Keep on keeping on my lovelies.

Womensville is pleased to sit around the kitchen table and chit chat with Everyday Parenting’s Lisa Hein author of “The book~ I’m doing the best I can.”

Listen to internet radio with Womensville on Blog Talk Radio

Andrea MacLeod, host of womensville radio talks about the kind of character building that happens to a woman during her child rearing days and the impact it can have on her relationship.

Visit Lisa R Hein’s Website Here.

Lisa Hein was born in Florida and has has two sisters, Gia and Susan and one brother, Robert. Their family consists of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and grand-dogs.  They are all very close even though they live all throughout the country.

She says that her father and mother did an amazing job raising them because there was a clear understanding of how the family dynamic worked.  It was understood that ‘Yes’ meant yes and ‘No’ meant no.  That simple!

The other thing that stands out in her mind is that she never remembers ordering her parents around to meet her needs.  She says, that at times, we barely had enough money to buy food , and at a very young age, learned that if you wanted something you earned it.Tweet

Jillian Michaels Interviews Rita Wilson’s Career and Family, Fate, Faith, and Being Bold.

Visit Everydayliving.com for more great articles. Tweet

Rita Wilson is a beloved gem of a woman who has managed a healthy, celebrated marriage for over 20 years in a town that loves to attack happiness. She’s a mom of four beautiful kids who all adore her. She’s a revered producer, celebrated actress on Broadway and the silver screen, dedicated philanthropist, accomplished writer who contributes to such power publications as Harper’s Bazaar and the Huffington Post, where she’s an editor-at-large. She wears so many hats it’s staggering, but the fact that she wears them all so well is what truly bowls me over. For all those reasons I have found her to be deeply impassioned, influential, and motivating, which is why I set my sights on interviewing her.

What annoys the hell out of me about articles, as the writer and the subject, is that there is no way to interpret tone. So much of Rita’s charisma and warmth is in her tone and I hate that you’re missing that, so let me set it for you. Throughout this interview I could feel her smiling through the phone. There’s a steady unwavering in her tone of speech that conveys patience and strength. The rhythms of her sentences are rife with self-deprecating chuckles as well as long introspective pauses, which allow her to craft her thoughts into potent, impactful messages.

And on that note, let’s begin.

Jillian Michaels: Given all that you have accomplished in your life, I wanted to start out by getting a little background on how you came into all these roles you play personally and professionally, found your passion, and so forth? In essence, give us a little insight into the making of a powerhouse.

Rita Wilson: Awww… thank you. Well, I am very proud to be the child of immigrants. I am a first-generation American. My mom is Greek, and my dad, who passed away about a year and a half ago, was Bulgarian. My parents actually met in New York after the war and then moved to Los Angeles after getting married.

I learned from my parents, particularly my dad, a great work ethic. He worked so incredibly hard despite not knowing how to speak English, coming to this country with nothing. He was a bartender, but managed to buy a home and support our entire family without any debt. I learned from him you work hard. You don’t buy anything you can’t afford. Take care of the people who take care of you.

JM: What age were you when you thought to yourself, I want to be an actress, and why? It seems out of the blue given your background.

RW: It was completely out of the blue. The only thing about it that made sense is that when my parents moved to the States, they moved to Hollywood because my mom’s sister lived out here. When I was 14, it was my very first day of high school, Hollywood High School. I was walking to one of my classes and these adults asked if they could take pictures of me. I knew that it was okay because they were there with the school’s principal. So I said “all right.” They took pictures of me, and it turned out those were all people from Harper’s Bazaar magazine, which is so ironic because I write for them now. Turns out, they were looking to cast real people mixed with models in an issue they were doing to celebrate 18-year-olds getting to vote.

JM: So this all started as serendipity?

RW: Yeah, total serendipity. When I realized I could do it, I thought, “Oh! This is cool!” Then Nina Blanchard [modeling agency] signed me and I started modeling. Now, in high school I was also a cheerleader, and a girlfriend of mine had an audition to play a cheerleader on The Brady Bunch. She said to me, “Listen I don’t know how to cheer, I’m really bad at it. Would you teach me?” So I said, “Sure,” and I taught her. Then she asked me to come with her on the audition. So I did, and I was sitting in the waiting room and we were practicing cheers. It turns out there were two parts. The casting people came out and said to me “Are you here to audition?” I said “No.” They said, “Do you want to audition?” and I said “Okay.” So I didn’t get her part, but I got this smaller part –

JM: (rudely interrupting) Pat Conway! (the name of the character Rita played). Yes, I have seen this episode of The Brady Bunch. I still love that show.

RW: Yes, Pat Conway! Which got me my SAG card, making me a member of the Screen Actors Guild, which meant that now I could do commercials. I got my first commercial on my 18th birthday, and it was for Peter Pan Peanut Butter. And from there I got another agent and just started doing a lot of TV work. It was great. I loved it. But up till this point I had never had any formal training.

JM: So this really and truly started out as fate for you. It honestly seems that you were literally guided into this career. Given that, what part do you think fate plays into our ability to find our true calling?

RW: Uh! I think about that all the time, Jillian. I always like to ask people, “What’s the thing that you loved to do as a kid?” because I think whatever you loved to do as a kid you should probably be doing as an adult. We are unfiltered and unfettered at that age, and you do something because you love doing it. When I think back on that, for me it was always music and singing.

While I was acting and modeling I still had regular jobs, and one of them was working as a ticket taker at the Universal Amphitheater, so I could watch the concerts. And everybody came through there at that time. It was the ’70s, so I saw Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac — I mean you name it, I saw them. I used to look up at the stage and just ache. I thought, “I want to do that! How do you get up there?” But I wasn’t in a band and I didn’t play an instrument. I had no clue at all how to pursue it.

So… I don’t question where my path led me, because I went with the flow. I thought, “I love what I am doing and I am good at it.” So I stuck with it. But I couldn’t… didn’t know how to break into the music thing. I just didn’t know how to do that.http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-living/jillian-michaels-interviews-rita-wilson-on-her-career-and-family.aspx
