Look and Feel 10 Years Younger! Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Raise your hand if you've ever looked at a woman who does yoga and envied not only how grounded, centered and balanced she is, but those arms and shoulders are serious workout goals.

Same.

Now imagine the results you could see if you were to do Face Yoga. Yes, face yoga. It's a thing.
The team at Face Yoga Method reached out to me a while back and introduced me to this phenomenon. Led by founder Fumiko Takatsu, Face Yoga Method is an all natural practice that consists of non invasive facial exercises that tone facial muscles, improve complexion and smooth wrinkles. It’s a holistic approach focusing on mind/body/spirit and boasts side effects like amazing posture and more self confidence. Yes, please!

I will admit. I was skeptical.

But take a listen to my interview with Fumiko and it’s like DUH! Of course this works!

They’re about to announce a big sale over at Face Yoga Method, including their flagship 6-week Face Toning Bootcamp that can take 10 years off your face. TEN YEARS. Are you ready to get a full face and neck transformations in LESS THAN 2 MONTHS? Join Fumiko Takatsu and Jackie for a LIVE Face Yoga Method session in our FREE and private Facebook group Friday, October 16th at 2:30pm PT / 5:30pm ET. About our guest: Fumiko Takatsu (founder and CEO) of the Face Yoga Method brings her 15 years of practice and personal experience into the Revolutionary Pro-Aging Method that has been impacting thousands of lives, hers included!
Following a nearly fatal car accident that threw her hip, shoulder and head off-kilter, Fumiko developed what is today The Face Yoga Method. With over 80 facial postures geared toward working on any area of the face, she has helped men and women worldwide replace cosmetic procedures 100% naturally!

When Your Child Comes Out as Transgender Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

Meet Dr. Paria Hassouri, a pediatrician, mother of three, transgender rights activist, and author of Found in Transition: A Mother's Evolution During Her Child's Gender Change. I met Paria in 2019 while my family was going through our own transition, when one of our children came out as transgender.

Paria and her family were a little bit ahead of us, going through a transition of their own with their teenage daughter. Now while you may not be familiar with transgender children or transgender issues and challenges, Paria's story is universal to any mom, really any human, who at one time believed that life would look one way until a bomb is completely dropped. Through Paria's story, you can feel her slowly begin to grow, find acceptance and express the unconditional love that was always within her.

But it wasn't pretty and it wasn't easy.

Get Found in Transition absolutely free with a trial of Audible.

Your FREE 30 day trial comes with:

1 credit good (2 for any Amazon Prime member) for any premium selection titles you like -- yours to keep.

You also get the Audible Plus Catalog of podcasts, audio books, guided wellness and audible originals.

Listen, all you want. No credits needed.

And... you'll get a friendly email reminder before your trial ends. How many times have you done a free trial and end up paying for the thing that you don't even want because you forgot to cancel it Audible will actually send you a reminder. No risk! CLICK HERE

About Our Guest: Paria Hassouri is the author of Found in Transition: A Mother's Evolution During Her Child's Gender Change. A pediatrician, mother of three, and transgender rights activist, her essays have been published in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post.
