More and more women are starting their own business, whether it’s to pursue a lifelong dream or to survive in a tough economy. Kathleen talks to an amazing lady who created and sold her own multi-million dollar companies and is putting her know-how to work to help others succeed in the business world.
Mary Cantando shares why women are so well-suited to entrepreneurship (don’t underestimate that female intuition). She also talks about the importance of recognizing and seizing opportunities, offers advice on strategic partnerships and explains why female business leaders are so vital to a thriving community, both at home and abroad. Mary also talks about her new book called Leading with Care, a fantastic read that showcases the challenges and successes of business women around the globe.

Can you actually be a better, stronger runner by running LESS? The answer is YES, and Bill Pierce can show you how. This professor, author and running expert shares how he got into running back in the 70's and experimented until he found the ideal regimen to improve endurance, speed and fitness—all scientifically proven through his work at Furman University.
Bill talks about the strategies outlined in his book, Runner's World Run Less, Run Faster and explains how it’s not the mileage, but the quality of your workout that has the most impact. With a combination of speed runs, tempo runs and endurance runs—plus cross-training—you can give your current routine a kick in the pants and earn a whole new personal best.
And although runners of all ages are setting new records with this routine, Kathleen has noticed that it seems particularly well suited for her 'maturing' body.
Married (Happily) With Issues is a ten page, must-read, gut-busting, mind-boggling piece that will strike the funny bone and the shins of married people everywhere.
And I have to give a special nod to the writing style. Elizabeth Weil runs circles around the English language. She squeezes the most out of every frank word and strings together sentences that will make you giggle, cringe and wonder if she had your house wired.
If you don’t already know the achingly beautiful and innovative music of Dawn Landes, you soon will. This uber-talented singer/songwriter has one critically acclaimed album (and one on the way), and her songs have been featured in films, numerous TV shows and ad campaigns.
Kathleen chats with this rising star about her personal journey to success. Dawn shares how she started out in NYC working four jobs with almost no pay and even less sleep. She talks about pushing through the uncertainty and how she remains productive and inspired today. Dawn also offers insight into the business of making music and shares her best piece of advice for all you aspiring musicians out there.

Ok, it wasn't exactly the hot seat. But last week, Jody and Joan of In Business Radio did throw Kathleen a few questions she’s never been asked before which made for a fun interview.
If you’ve ever read Kathleen’s bio and wondered how the heck she went from drug rep to filmmaker to radio host, Jody and Joan covered it all and then some during this especially candid interview. (Including some never before discussed issues surrounding Katherine Heigl and Michael Moore.)

Welcome back to Prevention Not Prescriptions Tuesday. This is a weekly forum where we’re coming together to inform and inspire each other to better health.
It's straight forward and simple. Tuesdays will be our chance to take our health into our own hands and say “hell no” to the pharmaceutical industry’s endless search for profits. Sound like something you want to be involved with? Here are the details on how to participate each week.
Once again, a big thank you to all of the contributors below who got involved this week—the last post until after the New Year. When we come back in 2010 we'll be blasting out of 'BETA' with a brand spanking new design and even more great health and wellness info. (Stay tuned for more on what’s in store for Prevention Not Prescriptions in 2010.)
Until then, enjoy the latest edition of Prevention Not Prescriptions which will have you thinking twice about what you’re putting on your face, and learning a thing or two about cholesterol (turns out it may not be as bad you thought). Enjoy!
And this isn’t your typical Prevention Not Prescriptions post, but this week we’re kicking things off with this disturbing video report. It serves as a critical reminder that we have to be thinking about the food we’re eating…
According to Dr. Larry Dossey, a renowned physician and best-selling author of Healing Words, surveys show that the most frequently used ‘alternative therapy’ in the U.S. is prayer. Who knew? But that’s not all…studies show prayer works.
Dr. Dossey has helped patients understand the power of their mind and soul on the health of their bodies, as well as changed the way doctors practice and medical schools teach. In his interview on The Kathleen Show, he talks about the science behind the power of prayer, shares intriguing evidence about the effects of spirituality on healing, and how it can be incorporated into standard medical practice.
This show isn’t about religion. Tune in and you’ll hear how spirituality is bridging the gap between alternative therapies and proven medicine.

"Until death do us part"...As long as I'm not sick to death of you, as long as you turn me on, as long as you're able to keep your figure, as long as you keep your hair, as long as you make me feel all mushy inside, as long as someone better doesn't come along. Sound familiar?
Dr. Robin Smith, one of the top relationship experts in the country and best-selling author of Lies At The Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages, shares the secret for achieving wedded bliss whether you’re 3 months in or 30 years in. She explains why the key to a good and lasting marriage is showing up like a like a grown-up (ouch!) as well as being brutally honest with yourself about who you and your partner really are.
And if you’re getting ready to take the plunge, make sure that the wedding doesn’t get in the way of your marriage. Dr. Robin has some strongly-worded wisdom about the ‘big day’ so that you don't trade one glorious party for years of bitter struggle.

Ok, so I'm about a week behind posting the "picks" I cover on air. But trust me, this one is better late than never. Watch the above video and see why Vanity Fair says, "Tara Stiles has got to be the coolest yoga instructor ever."
I'm a filmmaker, writer, and talk radio host.
