Sleepless in Studio City "Acquiring a Flair for Fighting Fair" feat. Aquarius

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: Acquiring a flair for fighting fair is crucial in maintaining a healthy connection. In fact, it’s vital in any relationship. Bear in mind - It’s not about winning or who’s right or wrong, but how you play the game. What’s fundamental is remaining respectful, reasonable, worthy, and admirable at all costs. Resolving conflict in a beneficial manner can only work to solidify rather than fracture any union.

Guest Caller Deb from Austin Texas: I’m recently divorced and feeling disillusioned that I won’t ever find love or be able to trust again. I’m afraid I’ll be judged as undesirable after having several failed marriages.

Write in question from Todd in Canyon Country: I'm an old fashioned guy back in the dating world after a while. the other night I took a nice woman to dinner but she refused to let me pay. when I went to kiss her good night, she turned her cheek. I was just trying to polite and proper.  What's the protocol these days?

A meditation for Building Self Esteem:

No person place or thing has any power over me unless I give it for I am the only thinker in my mind.

I have immense freedom in that I can choose what to think.

I can choose to see life in positive ways instead of complaining or being mad at myself or other people.

Complaining about what I do not have is one way to handle a situation, but it does not change anything.

When I love myself and find myself in the midst of a negative situation, I can say something such as "I am willing to release the pattern in my consciousness that contributed to this condition."

I have made negative choices in the past, but this does not mean that I am a bad person, nor am I stuck with these negative choices.

I release old judgments and love myself unconditionally. 

Featured artist is Aquarius, the rock cover band, who adopted the theme song from the musical, HAIR, as its clarion call. The members personify the most iconic superstars of the Summer of Love - David Abercrombie (Country Joe); Connie Early (Janis Joplin/Grace Slick); Gerald Davis (Sly Stone/Jimi Hendrix); Ron Olsson (Bob Dylan/John Fogerty); Dennis Napolitano (hippie dude); and Brian Wood (Stoney Munchalot) 

A majority of the songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s that Aquarius performs are still socially and politically relevant today with themes of peace, freedom, and equality. Their signature opening tune is “Get Together” by the Youngbloods, reminding us how history repeats itself and that we all need to take an active role in affecting positive change.

Sleepless in Studio City: "Toxic Shame" feat. Stephan Oberhoff

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: Shame thrives in secrecy. By uncovering it and getting out from under its spell, you no longer have to be bleeding internally. Sharing shameful thoughts, feelings, and experiences diminishes the deadly toxins that cause inflammation in your body. You can prevent and/or heal many dis-eases, including all stress related and auto-immune deficiency disorders.  

Use the 6th language of love to reveal your innermost shame and return it from whence it came (usually from your childhood).  You can emerge from isolation and be free from the imprisonment toxic shame creates. 

Anyone with a microphone in front of them, i.e. celebrities, artists, politicians, sports figures, has a duty to be open, candid, and come clean about shame based secrets in hopes of helping others. 

Multi-Instrumentalist, Award-Winning Composer, Vocalist and Producer, Stephan Oberhoff performs “O Pantanal,” with it’s stunningly flowing floating uplifting quality.  Stephan offers advice for aspiring artists by quoting an illuminating conversation between Agnes De Mille and Martha Graham, excerpted here: 

 “...There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.  

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.  The world will not have it.  

It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with others.  It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open…"

Guest Caller Mark from Panorama City: I’m trying to find a lady but I don’t trust the chemistry factor. Even though I’ve never been married, I still believe in attracting the love of my life.  Any advice?

Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom):  Do all the good you can by all the means you can in all the ways you can in all the places you can. 

Sleepless in Studio City: The 2 Magic Words are "I'm Sorry" feat. Kathy Kosins "Uncovered Soul"

DrDebzz** Opening Shpiel: The Two Magic Words: "I'm Sorry." Even if you're only 1% wrong and the other person is 99%, you can win much more than a million bucks by apologizing for your part.  You'll gain humility & esteem & give your partner the gifts of respect & honor. 

There’s no need to forgive others if you love them just they way they are without any expectations. There’s no need to ask for forgiveness if you treat everyone BETTER than you want to be treated.  Do all the good you can by all the means you can in all the ways you can in all the places you can.

DrDebzz Closing Shpiel:  Forgive Yourself First! Give yourself the greatest gift of all - LOVE LOVE LOVE on yourself! Be your own cheerleader, join your own team, and be your own best friend!

Fall is the season to plant positivity seeds by brushing up on your affirmations. It’s important to speak in the present when affirming what or who you want to attract, such as “Thank you for bringing me the best partner for my growth.” 

As the great Muhammad Ali expressed, “It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief, once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things being to happen.”

Florence Scovel Sinn (1920’s) said, “We can’t always control our thoughts but we can control our words. Through repetition we impress the subconscious mind and then become masters of any situation.”

Guest Caller Dave from Playa Del Rey:  I'm trying to find a balance in my life through staying in shape, dream journaling, working, taking care of my mom. I’m still looking for romance and would like to be more involved in world affairs.

Write in question from Thomas of Jacksonville:  Is it cheating on your wife if you go to a prostitute?  Is watching porn cheating?

Confidence Boosters for the Week: Say as often as possible in front of the mirror with a big beaming smile from head to toe:

"I attract only healthy relationships and I am always treated well. I spend time with enthusiastic energetic supportive people. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs and I release them with love. I face all challenges with ease poise grace and confidence. I have the courage to live my dreams. I am filled to the brim my cup runneth over with limitless love, light, and joy."

"Kosins possesses a voice that communicates intimacy and focus.”

Sleepless in Studio City "Smiling is Contagious/Sensitivity is Sexy" w/Deb Bowman & Ted Howe

DrDebzz** Opening Shpiel: Everyone smiles in the same language. Smiling is contagious. Start a smile epidemic by smiling at everyone you encounter. Give yourself the biggest smile of all as you look deep into your eyes in front of the mirror and say “Hello Gorgeous! Hello Handsome!” Disconnect from your cell phone and the internet for 24 hrs. and connect to others by communicating face to face. Consider this concept: Sensitivity is Sexy and Vulnerability takes Courage! Remember to T.H.I.N.K before you speak. Consider: Is what I’m about to say T-houghtful, H-elpful, I-ntelligent, N-ecessary, K-ind?

Caller Rebecca from North Hollywood: I’ve been playing by the rules, being the “good girl” in dating, but that hasn’t been working. I keep attracting unavailable men! Eventhough I love, value, and cherish myself, I’m still super critical and a perfectionist.

Write in question from Stan in Oceanside:  How do you know who to trust?

Positive Affirmations: It is safe for me to speak up for myself.  My healing is already in process. There is always more to learn. I become more loveable each moment.

Sleepless in Studio City on "Time Management" feat. Amber Weekes

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: How do you spend your precious time?  Are you a human “being" or a human “doing?” Are you surrounded with people who drain your energy, suck you dry, are “takers" rather than “givers?” Are you comfortable setting limits or are you more concerned with being liked and pleasing others? Wake up and smell the hummus powers that be! It’s urgent we create class curriculum that teaches the importance of internal needs rather than merely focusing on external qualities. How about a vaccine (love potion #9) against the rampant disease of verbal & emotional abuse, as a prerequisite to those assuming any position of authority, e.g. parents, teachers, administrators, and especially politicians! 

Guest Caller Mary from North Hollywood: I’m wondering when it's a good time to introduce children to a relationship. My boyfriend of two years keeps his life with his 13 year old son separate and I feel left out. Whenever I bring up the issue, he says he doesn’t want to talk about it and changes the subject.

Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom): “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” (Abraham Lincoln) I wish you happiness and the courage to choose to: be agreeable, look as well as you can, keep your voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything, nor try to improve or regulate anybody but yourself.

Sleepless in Studio City "The Critical Spirit" feat. award winning jazz vocalist, Kathy Kosins

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: Do you have a “critical spirit?” Are you judgmental, accusatory, negative, disapproving, fault-finding, and nitpicking with yourself and/or others? Do you have at least one “critical" parent? You can break the cycle and transform into a nurturing positive supportive encouraging spirit! Calling all scientists out there: the planet is in desperate need of a vaccine to stop this rampant contagious epidemic that has thwarted society on every front on every level in every aspect in every capacity.  Short of an impossibly ingenious miraculous medical cure, only a high dose of adamant intention, firm commitment, unswerving single mindedness, steadfast staunch, stalwart perseverance, unshakeable persistence, and an unwavering resolve will do the trick.

Featured artist, ASCAP award winning vocalist, Kathy Kosins, grooves with her smooth sultry rendition of Kenny Gamble’s blues tune, “Drowning in a Sea of Love,” from her CD entitled "The Space Between."

Guest Caller Lindsey from North Hollywood: While on vacation in Italy, I had an incredibly romantic and passionate affair and haven’t felt that way in a long time. Recently he cut off communication and I’m really sad and frustrated because I don’t know why. I blame myself for something I might’ve done wrong, an all too familiar pattern.

Write in question from Yvonne in Culver City: I’ve been dating a guy who has two daughters and he spoils them like crazy.  When I say anything he gets defensive and it’s putting a riff between us.

Weekly Confidence Booster/Esteem Builder: Just for today I will be unafraid.  Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
