BIG FAT LIES WOMEN TELL THEMSELVES How to Ditch Your Inner Critic and Wake Up Your Inner Superstar by Amy Ahlers
Most women have a nonstop chorus of criticism in their heads - voices not unlike those of the
mean girls lurking in the hallways and locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere. The grown-up versions of those teenage
taunts - such as "I don't measure up" and "The world is against me" - zap motivation, sabotage happiness,
and keep women in a stressed, "never enough" mind-set. In Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves: Ditch Your Inner
Critic and Wake Up Your Inner Superstar, Wake-up Call coach and author Amy Ahlers helps women talk back by offering proven
tools for replacing the Inner Mean Girl's relentless trash talk with tough, inspiring, and true self-talk. As she writes,
"It is high time you do a little spring cleaning on your Big Fat foundational Lies, a soul cleanse, if you will, so you
can begin to see the truth of how connected, how worth it, and how fabulous you are." Ahlers dissects 59 common
esteem-busting lies that women tell themselves and rebuts each one with a Truth, a Challenge, an Affirmation, and an Inspiring
Quotation designed to connect women with their Inner Superstar. She also offers an easy-to-implement three-step process women
can use whenever they feel negative emotion or the presence of their Inner Mean Girl:
- Step one: Ask yourself, "What is my Inner Mean Girl saying?"
- Step two:
Close your eyes and take a deep breath and ask yourself, "What does my Inner Wisdom know?"
- Step three: Let your Inner Wisdom's truth take root by repeating it back (out loud of possible) accompanied by a
physical gesture to lock in the message.
Ahlers doesn't offer long-winded self-therapy
or simplistic happy talk; she serves up straight talk and practical exercises that help women know, feel, and tell themselves
the truths that can transform their deepest inner thoughts - and their lives. About the Author - AMY AHLERS, the Wake-Up
Call coach and cofounder of the Inner Mean Girl Reform School, is a workshop leader and has been a featured expert on TV and
radio as well as in publications including the Washington Post and Oakland Tribune. A former online media sales executive,
she lives in Oakland, California. Visit her online at http://www.wakeupcallcoaching.com

SOUL SPACE

SoulSpace: Transform Your
Home, Transform Your Life Creating a Home That Is Free of Clutter, Full of Beauty, and Inspired
by You By Xorin Balbes
For the past 10 years,
award-winning interior designer Xorin Balbes has been redesigning homes with one purpose: to help the people who live within
create the kind of space where they can flourish instead of just exist. He shares, "Your SoulSpace is not defined by
expensive things or perfectly matched furnishings. It isn't about your budget or your grasp of aesthetics. No matter how big
or small, your space is your SoulSpace. It can reflect who you are, what you love, where you want to go, and who you will
become. Your home can be your greatest support, inspiring you daily and reminding you of your deepest desires." Because
expertly designed and decorated homes don't necessarily feel like havens to their dwellers or reflect, inspire, and celebrate
what is essential about their inhabitants, Balbes created the eight-stage SoulSpace transformation process to help his
clients. Through the stages - assess, release, cleanse, dream, discover, create, elevate, and celebrate - readers explore
not only the design of their living spaces but also their own interiors: the ways they think, feel, and sense. Through client
stories, exercises, and Q & A's, Balbes guides readers to decode clues to what they wish for, deny, and need to move forward.
Empowered with this self-knowledge, they are free to declutter, refresh, and enhance their living spaces. Suitable for any
budget and for one wall or one room, apartments or mansions, Balbes's technique nurtures and transforms both souls and their
spaces. Balbes is prepared to discuss:
- The
difference between just existing in a home and flourishing
- Three steps you can/take
right now to enhance your living space
- Why using the SoulSpace process is better than just
hiring an interior decorator
- The one thing everyone should have in their home
- The biggest design mistakes people are making today
About the Author - Xorin Balbes
has restored architecturally significant properties including the Norma Talmadge villa and his own home, Sowden House, which
was featured in Martin Scorcese's The Aviator. His website is TempleHome.net.

was deteriorating. By her early twenties, Inna's pain was so intense that for weeks she was barely able to walk. In an incredible
twist of fate, while meditating, Inna discovered an unusual way of communicating with her body. By tuning into her back and
releasing all the pain and negative emotions, she was able to heal herself.
Her practical healing techniques, healing frequency, internet
