Consent: Giving it to Yourself, Not Giving it to Others Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

Join Kristin and Lorilee Binstock as they talk about CONSENT. What does consent look like in 2023? How do we give our consent when we were taught that our consent about anything doesn't and shouldn't exist? What is giving consent to and for ourselves look like? How had consent become a foreign language?
As a childhood sexual abuse survivor who received treatment for PTSD later in adulthood, Lorilee learned that sharing her story allowed and even encouraged others to share their stories, giving them the courage to pursue treatment. After receiving the help she needed, she shares what she learned to potentially help others. Podcasting was the vehicle she needed to take her mess and turn it into her message. The first time Lorilee ever heard the term "trauma survivor thriver" was in mental health treatment. Her therapist introduced herself as such. Lorilee learned it is, "a person who is thriving after surviving a trauma." This is something she wanted to continue to strive for and made the podcast name choice an easy one. Lorilee is a broadcast journalism major from the University of Florida. After college she worked for CBS Radio News in New York before becoming a reporter, producer and morning show anchor in Virginia. After her mental health took a nosedive and she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, she took a job in PR. When working with a client who was a sexual abuse survivor, she realized what he was saying resonated with her and that instead of bipolar disorder, she was struggling with PTSD. From there she was eventually able to get the healing needed to propel her to find her purpose and share her story as a childhood sexual abuse survivor and thriver.

Catching Your Limiting Thoughts Before They Become Things! Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Join Dee Wallace and Kristin for a discussion about her book, Born: Giving Birth to a New You and how our limiting beliefs can be "caught" before they actually become our reality.
Dee Wallace is a best-selling author and a multi-nationally respected authority on the art of self-creation for over 30 year, having authored five books on the subject of self-creation: Conscious Creation, The Big E!, Bright Light, Getting Stuff and Wake Up Now! BORN and BuppaLaPaloo (children’s book) are her sixth and seventh offerings. All of which are subjects she is available to discuss.
As a much sought-after speaker, Dee has spoken at numerous national and international venues and outlets including TED Talks, the Love and Harmony Forum in Japan, The Dillon Lecture Series, Unity Temple, The Kansas Film Commission, and asked to speak in China, New Zealand, Amsterdam, Australia, England and all across the United States and Canada. Dee has appeared on every major news and talk show and has been featured on E! True Hollywood Stories, and Oprah.
Dee continues to conduct her weekly call-in radio show with over 600 episodes, from her home in Woodland Hills via phone and in person, as well as monthly webinars and private sessions worldwide. Like the title character in the #1 all time hit film that she stars in, she teaches us how to truly “get back home.”
In her recent release, BORN, she expands the concepts of Law of Attraction exponentially and awesomely simplifies everything you think you know about the power of Self-Creation. BORN is NOT a book about affirmations, visioning, Dark Energy, Self-Protection, or waiting for directions from God, the Guides or the Angels, Karma, or Struggle. It IS a book about Directing Energy, Knowing, Neutrality, Self-Actualization, Knowing You are the Power, Claiming Your Desires, and Easy Creation. Wallace’s BORN is a powerful book about how Spirituality, Brain Science, and Religion are all teaching the same principles, and how you can easily use them in creating your life.
