Sleepless in Studio City "The Power of NO" feat. The Mrs

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: The Power of NO! Saying “no” and setting boundaries means I love you, I care. It signifies yes, you’re valuable and significant to me; I respect our relationship; you’re worthy of my time and attention; I want to continue maintaining a healthy and honest liaison. In the same vein, “Thank you” is a complete sentence and being “conceited” can be positive!   
Getting naked by practicing the 6th language of love, i.e. sharing secret sensitivities and vulnerabilities, produces an intimacy at the deepest core level. Works better than an aphrodisiac. Use it as foreplay to arouse a passionate connection that goes beyond physical gratification or orgasmic pleasure. Progressive relaxation and creative visualization are useful tools to relax your mind body and spirit and prepare you to imagine and realize the many magical miracles awaiting.

Featured Artists: The Mrs, an Austin based pop-rock with a retro edge band, consisting of Andra Liemandt, drummer/vocals; Jenny Mason, bass guitar/vocals; Larissa Ness, keyboard/vocals; and Many Prater, guitar/vocals. The group’s purpose is to uplift and strengthen women and community to live their best life ever and deflect any negative self-talk that may occur when they look in the mirror!!  Hear their hit song, Bait & Switch, as well as a personal interview with The Mrs Founder, Andra. 

Guest Caller Austin from Sherman Oaks: I keep choosing the same type of man. They start out loving but after a few months I find out they just want a sugar momma. I end up feeling used and betrayed.  I know I deserve more. I wanna be loved and showered with things. I still believe in love but my picker is broken.  How do I break the chain?

Write in question from Mandy in Oceanside: My parents are always fighting and I can’t stand the yelling and screaming.  How can I get them to stop?

Weekly Confidence Booster/Esteem Builder:  "I release all thoughts that tell me I can’t do it.”

Sleepless in Studio City Siobhan Carmean "Sunlight & Water"

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: How not to take things personally (as referenced by Don Miguel Ruiz in The Four Agreements) Remember it’s not about you, it’s about them and their history/herstory, no matter how abberrant the behavior is. In fact, the more outrageous the actions are, the more deeply wounded the perpetrator is. However, compassion doesn’t denote tolerance.  It’s adamant you set boundaries and protect yourself from the irreparable harm caused by verbal emotional and physical abuse. Closing Shpiel: Breaking the cycle is not a spectator sport.  It’s up to you to prevent verbal violence in your own home and in turn, save the planet from global disintegration. Now is the best time to begin.

Singer Songwriter Siobhan Carmean performs an original tune, “Sunlight and Water” from her new CD entitled Sing it Away, featuring Red Young on keyboards; Steve Gilmore on electric bass; John Milham on drums; Billy Watts on guitar; Lon Price on saxophones; and Terry Landry on Baritone Sax.

Guest Caller Anita Robles: I wish there were more places in LA to meet single men who are sensitive to the music scene. As an independent Latin jazz singer, most guys I encounter are jealous that I spend many nights performing at clubs. I’m looking for someone secure enough in themselves not to be possessive of my time.

Write in question from Kathleen in Lake Balboa:  My boyfriend says negative things about me and makes fun of me in front of others. When I tell him how hurtful it is he apologizes and says he won’t do it again but it keeps happening.  I’m afraid to go anywhere with him in public.  I don’t know if I should break up with him because he’s sweet and kind when we’re alone.

Weekly Confidence Booster/Esteem Builder:  You are the designer of your destiny.  You are the author.  You write the story.  The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is whatever you choose.

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: Where have all the real people gone, long time passing? Do you revere authenticity or are you too worried about what others think?

Sleepless in Studio City Jimmy Dale

DrDebzz Dishes on Dissing: Wake up and smell the hummus...verbal and emotional abuse causes biosymbolic wounds more deadly than a bullet. No one is immune even if you have thick skin and protest it doesn’t bother you. Heal the devastating damage through nurture, honor, and compliments. Plant a flourishing inner garden and your external garden will bloom right where you are. You reap what you sow. Change your doom and gloom attitude by concentrating on what you can give to the world, not on what the world can give to you.
