Jane Wharam "Emotional Intelligence; Journey To The Centre of Your Self "
Wharam believes that to harbor regrets and go through life saying “what if” is not only non-productive but just plain sad! Using her own experiences as a guide, she shows how to forgive oneself and shake off the hold that regrets have on us - and she does so brilliantly with wit and humor, albeit sometimes dark, to deal with attitudes in the face of adversity. Her book was written during a period when she hadn’t liked herself very much, hadn’t dealt with emotions and attitudes, and had a burning need to communicate with more people in her sphere than was normal - even by her standards. The author’s book is a layperson’s guide to emotional intelligence using real, down-to-earth examples in an approachable style , with EQ testing and practical exercises and visualizations to help the reader think emotionally – and cope better with stress, anger and change. When Wharam isn’t writing, she runs training courses in Emotional Intelligence and conducts tutored meditation sessions for stressed workers locally, and also in London, England. Her motto of “every day is a gift” is reflected in how she now lives her life every day.

And for the first time ever, America will also get to choose between two people to decide which one will be a contestant on the next season of “The Biggest Loser”! Then it’s the moment viewers have been waiting for, when one of the three finalists will be named this season’s “Biggest Loser” and win the coveted grand prize of $250,000! Alison Sweeney is the host, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

LaNita McMeekan-Cates "The Day My Baby Was Born"
LaNita, after having two children of her own, felt the need to share stories from women of all walks and areas on their experience of childbirth. LaNita owned her own marketing, advertising and public relations company before becoming a Realtor. She lives in Illinois. The Day My Baby Was Born is essential because many new mothers are nervous, scared, or in search of comfort about impending childbirth without a good resource to turn to. The Day My Baby Was Born gives them a full sense of what to expect, through real stories from real people - the voices of friends, sisters, neighbors, and others sharing their own thoughts on the incredible moment.
Ty Pennington - Extreme Makeover Home Edition
A generation ago, homeowners spotting Ed McMahon on their doorstep became hysterical, knowing that a giant check from Publisher's Clearinghouse wouldn't be far behind. Nowadays the hysteria breaks out over the instantly recognizable, wide-toothed grin of Ty Pennington, who has helped transform the lives of dozens while inspiring millions more as host of the popular ABC series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Under the leadership of the charismatic home design guru, the series is consistently rated among the top 20 of all television programs. It has won two Emmys for Outstanding Reality Program and two People's Choice Awards. In 2008, Ty took his talent for mobilizing people to come together for the greater good to Great Britain for Ty’s Great British Adventure, a community-improvement series airing on UKTV. This fall, the highly anticipated Howard Miller Signature Furnishings by Ty Pennington line will become available to the public. Pennington designed the casual, yet contemporary pieces to be easily mixed and matched. In the winter, Pennington will introduce a Holiday addition to his Ty Pennington Style line at Sears. In May 2007, Pennington launched Ty Pennington At Home, a decorating, remodeling and lifestyle magazine published by Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. Ty Pennington At Home offers Ty’s solutions to the many challenges homeowners face. “I want to help people achieve their decorating and remodeling goals – and have fun while doing it," says Pennington.
In 2003, Ty wrote and created Ty's Tricks (Hyperion), which became a New York Times Bestseller. The book is part reference, part behind the scenes in Ty's own home, which he completely remodeled himself. Ty’s latest book, How Good Design Can Change Your Life (Simon & Schuster), hit stands last fall. Pennington won national attention as the quirky and creative carpenter on the groundbreaking home improvement series “Trading Spaces.” Ty continues to develop products for the "Ty Pennington Style" line at Sears and is the ambassador for the Sears American Dream campaign. Ask Ty what makes him tick and he'll say "It's about the joy of doing things for others. ‘Extreme Makeover’ is about family, about America and about these random acts of kindness that can restore your faith in people."

Mark Frobose—Founder "Behind the Wheel"
“How to Learn Spanish in 10 Seconds Flat.” Even if you or your listeners have never before spoken a phrase in another language, Mark Frobose guarantees that he will have you speaking your first Spanish words in just ten seconds, using the teaching methods that have made Behind the Wheel so successful. A brief interview with Frobose, teaching a few Spanish phrases and discussing increased interest among many Americans in learning Spanish, would be an entertaining, informative segment to recognize and celebrate the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo next week.Mark Frobose is a nationally known, multi-lingual foreign language expert and author who has appeared on “Dennis Miller Radio”, “Martha Stewart Living Radio”, “Good Day New York” (FOX-TV), and many regional and local radio shows nationwide; he has also been interviewed by the Associated Press about Behind the Wheel, for a recent AP article on the best methods for learning a foreign language.
Soap opera star Caitlin Van Zandt was one of the millions of women more than 100 pounds overweight and at risk of heart disease due to her weight. Her wake up call came when – at only 22 years old – Caitlin’s physician considered putting her on cholesterol medication. Scared for her health and for her mother’s, who was also significantly overweight, Caitlin shared a heartfelt moment with her mother and they decided to embark on a weight-loss journey to reduce their health risks. After years of unsuccessful weight loss attempts, Caitlin has finally found success! In the last year, Caitlin has lost nearly 90 pounds with the assistance of a gastric band. And, thanks to the weight loss, Caitlin’s bad cholesterol level is no longer dangerously high. Tackling the obesity epidemic takes heart. This Mother’s Day, Caitlin and Lisa M. Tate, chief executive officer of WomenHeart, hope to educate the millions of women more than 100 pounds overweight that their weight is putting them at risk of deadly heart disease – and how the path to long-term weight loss can start with a single conversation. They will encourage women to find the tools and support to help them on their journey. In interviews on May 5, Caitlin will talk about how she was able to confront her and her mother’s health risks. Ms. Tate will discuss the importance of women knowing heart disease risk factors and steps they can take to manage the controllable ones. They know that, this Mother’s Day, a heartfelt moment with a woman you love could save her life. Caitlin Van Zandt (born July 17, 1985 in New York City) is an American actress. She is best known for her current role on Guiding Light as Ashlee Wolfe.

By taking such extraordinary risks—going above and beyond the call of journalistic duty—Matson not only seeks to satisfy his own powerful curiosity about the world, but also brings a unique personal perspective to his stories. In doing so, he stands in for his less adventurous viewers, helping them feel what it was like to be in these extraordinary situations. Matson currently hosts a weekly radio show called NG Weekend, reaching out around the world by satellite phone to talk with some of the greatest explorers in the world as they conduct their work. Matson also writes a monthly column for National Geographic Traveler magazine, called Boyd Matson Unbound. With his extensive on-camera experience, Matson is a natural speaker, entertaining and enthralling audiences with stories of adventure, leavened with a touch of humor.
