Financial health is part of Balanced Living For Busy Professionals! Retirement and investment strategies, financial management, portfolio building and meeting your lifestyle goals are all topics on the show today, and Diane has an amazing guest. Winner of the 2015 PLUTUS award for Best Retirement Focused Blog/Podcast, Roger Whitney, The Retirement Answer Man himself is here. As a Financial Advisor in 1991, Roger has witnessed first-hand the rise and fall of the “new economy” and the Dot-com bubble that ended in 2000. This experience solidified that financial management is about people, not money, and that they are served best by advisors that are fiduciaries to their clients, and have the heart of a teacher. In 2003 Roger left his job the largest private bank in the world at the time and, with two wonderful partners, established WWK Wealth Advisors. Today, they are a firm of 14 professionals managing over $200 million in assets.   Free Resource: 3 Money Talks Everyone Should Have  (and how to have them) http

Today Diane welcomes author and health coach Marelda Rodrigues who knows firsthand what it’s like to face the despair of burnout—but refused to let it have the last word. Reclaiming her personal power by owning her decisions, she began to recognize the absolutely essential behaviors that build confidence and ensure forward movement, as well as the derailing actions that stunt emotional growth and block achievement. Are your life’s dreams and current reality in alignment? Or do you wonder how they moved so far apart leaving you unfulfilled and resigned to a lesser version of your true potential? Every choice you make affects how you steer the ship of your destiny. Yes, you are that powerful! You are in charge of making your dreams come true, and experiencing the deep joy and satisfaction that are rightfully yours. The key is engaging your power to create high impact outcomes   Books: Thriving Authentically: Own Your Personal Power and Make Life Happen Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Thriving-Authentically-P

Today Diane welcomes JJ Fllzanes. JJ is an Empowerment Strategist, host of The Fit 2 Love Podcast Show, Director of Invisible Fitness, an Amazon best-selling author of Fit 2 Love: How to Get Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually Fit to Attract the Love of Your Life, and author of Knack Absolute Abs: Routines for a Fit and Firm Core, and was named Best Personal Trainer in Los Angeles for 2007 by Elite Traveler Magazine. JJ vividly reminds us that the word ‘fitness’ is not just about the state of one’s physical body, but also the factors which determine a person’s overall well being. And, for JJ, the key components in all these areas are ‘invisible’ — balanced support structures of nutrition, emotional centeredness and health.

Today, Diane talks about negative self- talk and gives strategies and tips to help you overcome your inner critic. You need to select your thoughts the way you select your clothes. Disputing your negative self-talk means challenging the negative or unhelpful aspects. And doing this enables you to feel better and to respond to situations in a more helpful way. Learning to dispute negative thoughts takes time and practice, but it’s worth the effort. Once you start looking at it, you’ll be surprised by how much of your thinking is inaccurate, exaggerated, or focused on the negatives of the situation. Whenever you find yourself feeling depressed, angry, anxious or upset, use this as your signal to stop and become aware of your thoughts. Use your feelings as your cue to reflect on your thinking and follow the steps Diane details in today’s episode and learn how to say “STOP!” to the negative self-talk.

Today, Diane talks with Stephanie Dalfonzo, Intuitive Healer and Transformational Coach who, after leaving her radio career to raise her children, began the journey in earnest of finding ways to help herself and others make deep and lasting life changes.  Her clients experience deep, cellular level healing, allowing them to breakthrough whatever has been holding them back, so they can reclaim their inner power and joy!  Stephanie, like Diane, believes that each of us, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, has the power inside to heal and make great changes. But also believe (from first hand experience) that we all need to have someone else assist us.  Even the greatest healers and thought leaders like Wayne Dyer, Panache Desai and others have their own healers (and yes, Stephanie and Diane do too!) Come on this journey to receive wonderful gifts of healing for your busy life.

  Today Diane brings a very special guest to Balanced Living for Busy Professionals, Rick Birdwell, Life Coach of the Mankind Project. This amazing group for men flies in the face of rigid stereotypes about the "Sensitive New Age Man" AND the "Macho Man". We ask men to go right up to the edge - and beyond - in a culture that seems to be comfortable with mediocrity and passivity from men. We ask men to stop living a vicarious adventure through their TV's and step into a real time adventure to win back their passion for life. We ask men to confront the real issues, to get 100% honest about who they are.   Knowing that wellness is a human issue, not just a woman’s issue, Diane brings fantastic resources to everyone.   Email: feedback@dianerandallconsults.com   Visit the website: http://www.dianerandallconsults.com     The Mankind Project Website: http://www.MKP.org   Rick Birdwell websites: http://www.rickbirdwell.com/    Groups for women mentioned in today’s show:   http://womanwithin.org./ http://www.realwomen

Setting Boundaries In Your Life What exactly does it mean to set and communicate healthy boundaries? Well, ask yourself what will you accept from others by way of the demands they make on your time and emotional energy. For most people, when someone asks something of them, their first response is to give in, to set that other person’s needs ahead of their own. Many of us have been taught from a young age to be “people pleasers.” One of the shortest, yet most difficult words for many people to say is “no.” Setting boundaries is an important part of the process in making self-honoring choices for your own personal time – what difference does it make what your own personal priorities are if you allow other people’s priorities to override them, simply because you can’t tell that person “no” without the guilt? To be able to set and communicate those boundaries, you will need to rely on your intuition. Your intuition often tells you when something being requested of you is not in harmony with your own self honoring

The Concept of Wellness The concept of wellness covers a broad range–with different definitions depending on where you look. But for starters, let’s use the following–wellness is the belief that improvement is possible throughout our lives. We’re continuously seeking information on how we can improve. We’re choosing options and making decisions that support our best interests. Everything we think, feel and believe impacts our whole being. What does wellness look like to you? You are in command of all aspects of your life–physical, career, relationships, finances, spiritual, environment, and emotional well-being, and so on. You can break free and take charge of your life. Today Diane takes you through the meaning of wellness and what that can look like in your life. With tools you can use to take actionable steps each day that will improve your wellness and bring balance in to your life.   Email us at: Feedback@DianeRandallConsults.com [3849211]

Introducing Balanced Living For Busy Professionals   I’m Diane Randall and as a working mother, an on-the-road SAP Consultant, corporate trainer, coach and entrepreneur, I’ve played all or most of those roles at the same time for more than two decades with a commitment to wellness and a balanced lifestyle. In this podcast I’m going to teach you the tools and strategies to a healthier, balanced life. I’m going to share with you my journey and how I can help you achieve the same results I’ve experienced. Why this podcast?  Well, what sets me apart is that I have done “the work” in my own life. In the past, I walked in some of the same proverbial shoes as people seeking my help-an unhealthy and out of balance life, so I can empathize. I help my clients achieve balance using the methods I know work. I’m your accountability partner, as you break free from the habits and patterns keeping you stuck. I help you set yourself up for success by taking small, consistent, action steps. There are no overnight fixes – while
