Click on this link to hear my guest on Family First share her experience and wisdom on Rethinking Everything!
Do you sometimes get the feeling that a lot of what you were taught or picked up along the way from experts about life, family, parenting, marriage, sex, love, and kids is not really useful or true? Have you felt that you have done a lot of reinventing, reassessing, as you go along, in your career, family relationships, and sense of self and your mission? My guest this week, Barb Lundgren, has not only done this with a passion but she has created a safe space where families can come together to do this kind of exploration.
Barb Lundgren has found that too often we are led down a path of conformity, intimidation, and self-doubt which does not get us where we want to go and even worse, limits the prospects for our children. Each year she gathers families together who are seeking to get to the core truth of living in joy and transformation in a community focused on freedom and creativity. Listen in to experience a wealth of ideas on how to rethink everything without getting lost in the process.
Barb Lundgren is the founder of the international conference on Rethinking Everything, now in its 16th year. Rethinking Everything passionately supports all ways of becoming and living authentically. This life-altering conference hosts hundreds of children, teens, young adults, parents, and grandparents each year, in the Dallas area of Texas, in early September. Find more detail at: www.rethinkingeverything.net. Barb is also the co-publisher of three revolutionary magazines: Rethinking Everything PARENT, LIFE and SEX. You can tell your own personal story of transformative change by going to: www.rethinkingeverythingpublishing.com.
Barb's most important work and greatest change has revolved around her children, now grown. She made an early decision in her mothering career to give up everything she thought she knew about children, parenting, and education and to create a rich environment to support their freedom to be. The 30 years since have been nothing short of remarkable!

Randy Rolfe's Take Home Tip: Sure, consult the experts, but also consult your own experience, perceptions, impressions, and life lessons. No one knows you or your kids or your family like you do. Be ready to rethink your most basic assumptions if they aren't working for you today. Most great breakthroughs have come from someone questioning a long accepted assumption.

The Power of Self Healing
Family First VoiceAmerica™
Many of the maladies people endure today seem to appear out of nowhere and to require aggressive medical treatment for any hope of relief. But new understanding of how the mind, body, and spirit work together to create who we are has led to a number of new approaches which tend to put the power for healing and prevention back into the hands of the individual involved. Can something as scary as cancer or arterial blockage respond to our own internal work?
My guest this week says that she has seen it happen, beginning with her own husband. Dr. Susan Allison is a transpersonal psychologist. She used her unique process combining new and ancient healing approaches to help her husband astound his oncologists. She sees herself as a healing coach rather than a therapist, helping people to find their own healing power to overcome both physical and emotional illness. She will share powerful strategies from her new book Empowered Healer to empower you and your family for health and happiness.
Use this link to listen to Family First, Friday at 4 PM ET, 1 PM PT or any time on archive or download: http://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/59494/a-unique-process-for-self-healing
Dr. Susan Allison earned her masters in Counseling Psychology and her doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology and has helped numerous people achieve what modern medicine might term spontaneous recoveries, including the overnight disappearance of diagnosed cancer, the disappearance of excruciating pain almost instantly, the restoration of peripheral eyesight, and the relief of depression effortlessly.
Dr. Allison has achieved these results with a unique four-step process which she reveals in her new book Empowered Healer: Gain the Confidence, Power and Ability to Heal Yourself. She has combined disciplines from her traditional practice as a psychotherapist with her training in a number of alternative healing methodologies--including hypnotherapy, shamanic healing, Reiki, Reconnective Healing, and energy medicine. Susan is also author of Conscious Divorce, Ending a Marriage with Integrity and Breathing Room. She was named “Woman of the Year” in California for her counseling work.

Randy's Take Home Tip: Don't give up control of your own health to anyone else. It is your responsibility to be in touch with what is going on in your body and mind. And you have the best tools to change anything which needs improvement. The same goes for your children. You know them best and you know how best to find out what is going on with them. Surely professional help has its place, but treat it as advisory. You have the power and the more you use it the better things will turn out.

Triumph Over Childhood Pain
Family First VoiceAmerica™
I am a big advocate of prevention. Listen in to hear the importance of good parenting, how to overcome residual childhood pain yourself or in someone you care about, and how to minimize it for your own children if you are a parent!
Today’s research is showing that many of the troubles adults are having stem from unresolved pain from childhood. Yet some adults go on to lead satisfying productive lives after experiencing horrendous childhoods. What’s the difference between the two? How can an adult recover from childhood troubles which are still affecting their approach to life? And how can today’s parents spare their children from having to deal with these issues as adults? My guest this week is James Krehbiel, who is a long-time educator and professional counselor who has been helping adults to deal with many emotional issues by overcoming their troubled childhood experiences and what he calls the “magical illusion” of childhood which many people carry into adulthood. James will share with us some insights from his new book Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life about how ineffective parenting can set us up for these challenges and how these can be overcome or prevented in the first place.

Surprise sources of toxins in the home
Family First VoiceAmerica™
Technology has given us a great number of conveniences for our lifestyles, but those very same technologies can have a negative impact on our health and our environment. This technological impact is nowhere more evident than in our society's penchant to utilizing synthetic cleaning chemicals in our commercial and residential buildings. A great deal of research and testing has gone into the development of a variety of technological solutions to this pervasive pollution from our cleaning processes, and these innovations have been grouped under the umbrella of a revolution in the way we can clean our buildings, led by my guest this week, Vince Elliott, considered the leading expert on developing safe cleaning strategies for the home and workplace. Studies have shown a link between common cleaning agents and serious threats like asthma, allergies, immune deficiency, heart disease, and cancer. Find out how to protect your family from toxins and have a home which is truly clean and healthy.
Click on the link above to listen to Vince Elliott's important tips on minimizing chemical exposure in your home. Listen live Friday at 4 PM ET, 3 PM CT, @ PM MT, 1 PM PT. Or any time on archive after the show.
Vince Elliott, B.S., M.H.S., established The Chemical Free Cleaning Network in Baltimore after four decades of professional experience in developing innovative cleaning strategies. He has brought disparate technologies and strategies under one connected organization to benefit building proprietors, janitorial services, homeowners, and our ecosystem as a whole. Chemical Free Cleaning strives to provide a systematic solution to man-made chemical pollution and the presence of artificial substances. Vince is a pioneer in applying “performance based contracting” and the cleaning measurement sciences. Vince has helped negotiate over 530 cleaning service contracts. A graduate in Economics from Towson University, Vince has a Master of Health Sciences from Johns Hopkins University. He has been a university professor in management strategies and has received numerous awards. He is author of the Extreme Green Cleaning Book Digest and the ebook A Chemical Free Cleaning Guide for Your Home.

Randy Rolfe's Take Home Tips: Comon household chemicals used in cleaning are often toxic. conventional wisdom has been that the quantities are small enough that the effects are minimal. But when you add them all together with the other pollutants in our environments, the cumulative burden on our immune, detoxification, and elimination systems is ever growing, and can be the cause of many unexpected health problems, especially in the elderly and for our kids. Old standbys like vinegar, baking soda, Bon Amis, Borax, and natural soaps do just fine, along with a bit of "elbow grease," that is, scrubbing by hand.

Help your family feel more centered!
Family First VoiceAmerica™
Today it is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day preoccupations of work, bills, family events, public affairs, sports interests, and more. It seems hard to find time to meditate, relax, or participate in the more enduring aspects of life, the spiritual connection between us all and also our surroundings. My guest Tony Samara is a world-renowned spiritual teacher who believes that becoming more aware of the spiritual element in life right
now can help with all those other concerns and bring more peace and joy to every day life. On Family First this week Tony will share his insights on how we are living at a crucial moment in humanity's transformation and we can no longer wait for someone else, or something else, to do something. He will explain how the creative power of each individual allows us to put things into practice now, in a more proactive and participatory way. Listen in for some valuable wisdom and practical tools for making our lives freer, more fun, and more meaningful.

Why homeschool?
Family First VoiceAmerica™
Our news is filled with the challenges in today’s schools, including peer pressure, precocious sex and drinking, drugs, drop-outs, learning differences, burned out teachers, bullying, poor test scores, too much about fashion and cliques, budget cutbacks, violence, smart phone distractions, and more. Many parents are looking for alternatives. For some, charter schools or online schools seem the answer. Others push for school reforms at the district, state and federal levels. More and more families are considering homeschooling. My guest this week is Peter Bergson, one of the pioneers in the homeschooling movement. He founded Open Connections with his wife Susan Shilcock in 1978 and has been a leader in the theory and practice of what he calls “open education.” He will share his own path to homeschooling as well as the many reasons parents are considering home schooling and the many options parents have in structuring a truly nurturing environment for their kids of any age.

If you go to this page you can also Bookmark the page very easily to any social media by using the function at the bottom of the page. Also you can link the page to any email or site.
Peter Bergson is the father of 4 and grandfather of 5 homeschoolers/ unschoolers. In 1978, he and his wife, Susan Shilcock, who passed away in 2005, opened Open Connections, a preschool/kindergarten program. Soon
they became friends with John Holt and “OC” morphed into a resource center for self-directed learners ages 4 to 18. OC currently flourishes on a 28-acre campus in suburban Philadelphia, serving a 100 homeschooling/ unschooling families with programs to help young people to pursue their interests in a community that nurtures collaboration and creativity. Peter and Susan co-authored Open Connections: The OTHER Basics,
and he created an instruction manual titled Spaces for Children: Learning Environments for Work and Play.. Having retired as OC’s Executive Director, Peter serves on the Board, writes articles for The OC Magazine, works on a future book titled Parenting for Pleasure, promotes the “open education” concept, and loves his two full days weekly spent with his grand-ones.

Randy Rolfe's Take home Tip: No matter what a child's school experience, the parents are the first and most influential teachers. So be careful what you teach! Humans learn primarily by doing and usually by doing which they see others do. So the example you set in everything you do will have a huge influence on your child. Read in front of them and with them, talk about important issues and interesting events with them, be physically active with them and live a healthy lifestyle. These will set your child up for a successful and happy life.

What Your Teeth Want You to Know!
Family First VoiceAmerica™
Listen in this week to hear what your teeth want you to know and find out how to protect your child's teeth from unnecessary toxins which are still used in many dental offices!We see shiny white smiles on our TV and movie stars, but what about our own teeth? What keeps them healthy and beautiful for a life-time? What if the conventional methods of caring for teeth could be causing tooth breakage, toxic leakage, neurological disorders, memory loss, inflammation, and even environmental degradation? More than thirty years ago, experts began urging that safer new methods be adopted but most people still don’t know about them. My guest this week on Family First is Dr. Donald Robbins, a graduate and former instructor from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He has practiced dentistry for 35 years and has developed the BioSafeDentistry system, which helps protect the patient, dentist and staff from dangerous chemicals often used in dentistry. He is author of the new book, The Toxic Dental Office –How to Protect Yourself and Your Family, and he will share with us the information we need to choose the healthiest dental care for our family.
