http://www.blogtalkradio.com/artemischaney Raising a pack of four on my own was a struggle. Not gonna sugarcoat it. I failed more than I succeeded. There was probably more heartbreak than heartfelt. But it was the love I had for my kids and my dogs, that kept me from jumping off the bridge. They needed me as much as I needed them. And despite the pain I was in, there was a reason to get up in the morning and quit my sniveling. As the years dragged on, I made a ton of mistakes. Yet with each one, I learned never to do that again. Then along came this thing called "a TV show" and my family and I were tossed into the spotlight. The entire world got to see our "F" ups and our triumphs. I had nothing to hide and could've cared less what anyone had to say about me. My skin grew thicker with each day and for some unexplainable reason; it felt good. Then I realized that I had become so strong, confident and resilient beyond anything I had ever encountered in my lifetime. People from all over the world (mostly women) began to reach out and ask for advice and help. I felt their pain because I had "been there, done that". But my words of wisdom (for lack of a way better word) were not out of knowledge or because I had some college degree. The stuff that poured out of my mouth was because of those "F" ups. I needed to share with others on what not to do. So you are probably asking, "who the Hell is this Artemis Chaney?" Well....it's Me. At least bits and pieces of me and even parts that I wish were me. Artemis Chaney is my alter-ego and a very strong willed female, broad, dame, chick, lady, woman and her favorite....bitch. Call her what you want. She does not get offended..at all.

Wild as the wind, tumultuous as the sea and never allowing anyone to do just that; tame her...this is the Greek Goddess Artemis. Independent and self-reliant, Artemis was the true meaning of "wildling".  So it is no surprise why my alter ego took on this name. As someone who wants the same for the female "species" as an entirety, Artemis Chaney keeps her "eye on the prize" no matter what direction she is going in.  Strength and wisdom are her own and not defined by the expectations of others.  The daily struggles of life can be exhausting and sometimes a feeling of hopelessness can take control of your entire self-worth.  And trust me, I know it's friggen hard to fight that feeling. So out comes the wildling in me and following the creed of Artemis, well what can I say?  It helps. Join me on this night for a show of motivation, inspiration and most importantly, the determination as Artemis Chaney helps me plow through some of my obstacles.  In doing so, I not only hope that you too are inspired and determined but also moved enough to do something about it.   Are you a wildling?  Together we shall see...... 00:58:00Artemis Chaney - The Alpha B*tchnoTia Torres,Artemis,Pit Bulls & Parolees,Villalobos Rescue Center,Female EmpowermentUntamed, free spirited and insanely intuitive women...we need you!

If not for all the fans and supporters we would've never have made it this far.  But...not everyone feels all "warm and fuzzy" when it comes to the work that we do. While most think it would be "cool" to have their own TV show, we have learned throughout the years that there are some "interesting" characters" out there.  Tonight we will walk down "memory lane" of the angry, the crazy and the outright scary. We've had learned to grow thick skin in deflecting some of the emails and phone calls we get but I'm not gonna lie.......sometimes they can get really....weird.         00:59:00Artemis Chaney - The Alpha B*tchnoTia Torres,Villalobos Rescue Center,Pit Bulls & Parolees,Animal PlanetFANDOM - Sometimes friend, sometimes foe.

It has been 10 years since Pit Bulls & Parolees was "born".  Never, ever, in my insanely wildest dreams did I think we'd survive this long.  But it did not come without a price.   On this episode of Artemis Chaney, The Alpha Bitch, I will take you back in time and you will hear stories never before told anywhere.  Things so personal that I can't even believe I'm telling anyone.  Our struggles and triumphs, our heartbreaks and heartfelt moments, will all be told here. On this night, you will get to hear what the ONLY non-profit organization with a TV show does to make ends meet, to get through each day without jumping off the bridge, and how we try to stay strong and stick together and survive as a pack.  This will be a night of the "reality in the reality". 00:59:00Artemis Chaney - The Alpha B*tchnoTia Torres,Villalobos Rescue Center,Pit Bulls & Parolees,Animal Planet,Pit BullsThe Reality in the Reality - what really goes on behind the making of a reality show.

Besides the interesting people that have been involved in my past and throughout the years is one thing.  But the honor bestowed upon me in working around such a diverse group of members from the animal kingdom was priceless.  When I say I was "raised by wolves", I mean literally.  Living in the jungles of Sri Lanka with elephants, tigers, leopards, monkeys and yes...even a couple of King Cobras, I learned more in that time, than any book or college course could ever teach me. I learned how to truly respect each species for what and who they were and that building a relationship with human and animal is a 50/50 compromise.  Add to this, being in a third world country and not having the luxuries that one gets used to in a day to day routine, tends to humble a person.  This experience left such an impression on me and to this day, the things I learned from this small and primitive land, are used in my current times.     To the animals, my teachers...I owe you more than I can ever give back.                           00:45:00Artemis Chaney - The Alpha B*tchnoTia Torres,Pit Bulls & Parolees,Villalobos Rescue Center,Self Empowerment,Female IndependenceTo say that my life story has been a zoo is an under statement.

Oh boy....thinking back to those days of  "That's it...my life is over".....well.....I'm still here to tell the tale. I ended up meeting a couple of different humans throughout my lifetime, who I actually despised most of the time, yet...their outlook on life truly got my head out of my ass. And not realizing back then, but years later, I have to give them credit where credit is due....unfortunately...hahaha. And just like that, I began to "organize" my life and put things into perspective. These "life lessons" that I had learned throughout the years from these "un-worldly scholars" had actually made an impression on me.  Yup...sometimes help comes from the most unexpected places. 00:44:00Artemis Chaney - The Alpha B*tchnoTia Torres,Villalobos Rescue Center,Pit Bulls & Parolees,Motivation,Self EmpowermentEvery day life can be overwhelming.  Okay....let's not beat around the ever wilting bush.....it IS overwhelming.  And as I sit here and type these "words of wis80bdc78f-3bc1-4413-9b28-45d96a120cd612fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/artemischaney/2018/01/21/tia-vs-artemis--and-the-fangs-come-outMotivationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/artemischaney/2018/01/21/tia-vs-artemis--and-the-fangs-come-out/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/artemischaney/2018/01/21/tia-vs-artemis--and-the-fangs-come-outSun, 21 Jan 2018 04:00:00 GMTTia vs. Artemis - And the Fangs Come OutI've always had quite the imagination. Even as a child, I had more imaginary friends, than ones that I attended school with. And as I got older, a few of these "pretend friends" stuck around long enough to watch me stumble, get back up and face plant right back into the dirt again. My life has always been filled with the kind of adventures that would make even Harry Potter shutter. So I found myself sharing the brunt of my trials and tribulations with these various alter egos.  One in particular has stuck it out with me and into my adulthood.  And although she has had several different names, one thing has always remained constant; she has been and still is one bad ass bitch.  Artemis Chaney is strong minded, set in her ways, fearless and has the unexplainable instincts of the wolf. And it is because of these attributes, that I was able to lean on her to gain independence, confidence, empowerment and an insight that could only be described as wildly instinctive. For this episode,I will buckle up and take you down the bumpy roads that I have traveled. Drawing strength from "the other Tia", I have been able to grow some pretty thick skin and allow crap to bounce right off of me.  Have to admit, it's a pretty good feeling.
