International Fitness Guru and muscle activation specialist Teresa Tapp joins the show. Note: Refer to audio player below to listen to this episode! Treat your body like a machine! This is the mantra of fitness expert Teresa Tapp, an muscle activation specialist, nutritional counselor and savvy businesswoman. Teresa knows how a woman's body works, especially women over the age of 30. For the past 35 years she has been chronicling her personal experience and collecting data from hundreds of thousands of female clients developing exciting new insights on women's health and fitness. She worked as a personal trainer, new face developer, booker and scout for several modeling agencies including Ford, Metropolitan, and Page Parkes. After working in an industry that demands body perfection, she knows how to get the female body in shape no matter what age or fitness level. Now, she is passionate about sharing  her valuable expertise with men and women of all ages and fitness levels. Teresa is living proof that, even above age 40 (Teresa is over 50), your body can be a lean, well-tuned, balanced machine without spending hours at the gym. Many of Teresaís clients have better "machines" at 50+ than they did in their 30's. The T-Tapp Method of Movement Workouts are truly the most  effective and efficient fitness program around! Teresa has always had an ardent interest in health and fitness, specializing in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition during college and ultimately writing a detailed research paper on Metabolisms in Women Over the Age of 30. Her original plan was to pursue a medical degree; however, tuition money was tight and the fashion industry came calling.  Working with models of all different body types and genetic heritage allowed Teresa the opportunity to capitalize on her education and gather statistical information. The French philosophy of eating what you want and exercising in secret, along with the fact that models are constantly on the go, living in hotel rooms and unable to spend hours slaving away at the gym, led this cutting edge fitness expert to develop a novel approach to working out. Based on a copyrighted sequential order-of-movement, Teresa approaches the body as a machine, dividing the muscles into layers and systematically fatiguing eachlayer. Done without weights or body-jarring aerobics, anyone can workout for less than an hour and do it in the privacy of their home or hotel rooms. While Teresa certainly enjoyed her jet-setting life in the fashion industry, nothing gives her greater satisfaction than hearing the success stories real everyday men and women have with T-Tapp - especially those over 35. Teresa's proven techniques are unparalleled and cutting edge, yet applicable for all men and women at any age. Because she completely understands the body, Teresa has created a program that will work for everyone regardless of fitness level. She enjoys making it simple, with explanations as to how and why our bodies work the way they do as a machine. In that way, we understand each movement or technique and how it effects the machine. Now, with DVDs and a book, Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes (Ballantine), these secrets can be shared so that all men and women (not just models) can be the best that they can be and be in balance - body, mind, spirit and soul. Teresa lives in the Tampa Bay, Florida area and maintains a high quality staff that is completely trained to walk you through any problems you may be having with any portion of the workout. It is also completely natural for Teresa to pick up the phone and talk directly with clients herself. There is a toll free number for any customer or interested person to call in and get their questions answered. This is totally unheard of in this competitive industry. In the overall scheme of things, Teresa Tapp is, indeed, a giant among fitness gurus! Teresa Tapp discusses & answers the following: What is the T-Tapp Method of Movemen

Associate Professor of Psychology and Counselor Education at Concordia University Chicago & author of the book "It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet" - Dr. Karin Anderson joins the show. Note: Refer to audio player below to listen to this episode! Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Karin Anderson is currently an associate professor of Psychology and Counselor Education at Concordia University Chicago.  She received her doctorate in developmental psychology from Northern Illinois University and has delivered a number of well-received presentations at national and international psychology conferences, covering issues such as identity development and family dynamics. She first became interested in the psychology of women when she began to examine the complex emotions involved in her own engagement to be married.  As she questioned her motivations for marriage, she pondered women’s roles and options in the post-feminism era.  How much had really changed?  After months of internal conflict, she ended up calling off her wedding two months before it was to occur. Back “out there” in the dating scene, she became keenly aware of the messages directed toward single women—messages that appeared disparaging and illogical, yet hailed from reliable sources such as the local bookstore’s self-help section.  Drawing on the data of other academic researchers and firsthand accounts of the many women she interviewed personally,  Anderson wrote It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet as an effort to provide a logical counter-message of encouragement. A compelling teacher and speaker, Anderson speaks to groups on women’s issues, single adulthood, developmental psychology, and family relationships.  For more information, visit AuthenticallyMe.com. Dr. Karin Anderson discusses & answers the following: What inspired you to write It Just Hasn't Happened Yet? Why did you see a need for yet another book about dating/relationships?

J.C. Knudson author of the book Living the Difference joins the show. As an entrepreneur and small businessman, he holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and business administration. Knudson and his ex-wife are the parents of two adopted sons; today, Knudson lives with his partner in Oklahoma City. Note: Refer to audio player below to listen to this episode! J.C. Knudson Lives the Difference, Brings Experience to Memoir of Being Gay in America Joseph "J.C." Knudson is an author on a mission to educate the world's population about understanding and accepting people who are gay. His first book, a memoir, is called Living the Difference (2010, Espresso House Publishing). Its subtitle is "An Enlightening Story Revealed For People of All Ages, Straight or Gay." Editorial reviews of Knudson's book call Living the Difference "a fascinating journey no gay author has been able to capture to date," "conquering the final frontier of bigotry and ignorance," and "filled with love, hate, joy, sorrow and much more." Living the Difference also turned up on Vonnie Faroqui's book blog, Writers in the Sky. Faroquai calls the memoir "remarkably under-sensationalized," praising Knudson's honest storytelling style that leaves the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. She mentions how Living the Difference lifts the curtain on the so-called "gay lifestyle," revealing a human portrait that resonates regardless of gender or sexual orientation. It's a portrait of success, of meaning, and of hope. From Faroquai's description, Living the Difference seems to be an important resource for young gay men living with fear, shame or self-loathing; or for anyone coming to terms with a friend or family member's coming out. Knudson, it seems, told his story not to shock, offend or "convert" anyone, but simply to lay out a roadmap for acceptance. The book lights a candle against the darkness of ignorance. The podcast of J.C.'s recent interview with Vonnie Faroqui can be found here. To learn more about J.C. Knudson, along with details of his book, go to thegaylyblogger.blogspot.com. J.C. Knudson discusses & answers the following: J.C. the book you have written, Living the Difference, is biographical in nature and yet there’s more going on than the sharing of memoirs.  What inspired you to begin writing and what is the motivation for you to let readers inside your life in this way? In the book you write of your childhood attractions, crushes and subsequent confusion about what was considered appropriate attractions by those around you. Can you share with our listeners a little of your experiences and how you were impacted? Do you think that you were confused about what or rather who you were attracted to or was the confusion you describe centered in discovering that your attractions were different from those of other children, that you were somehow different. How do you think that early confusion affected you? As an adult looking back at those early years do you see a shift in cultural perception or religious teachings toward or about homosexuality?
