Join Zhena as she sips tea with Maureen Shea “The Real Million Dollar Baby” Maureen Shea, “The Real Million Dollar Baby”, is a world ranked professional boxer who has fought numerous times on National and International television. Currently the interim World Boxing Council (WBC), Featherweight World Champion, Maureen has also held the North American Boxing Federation Featherweight (NABF) title.  Maureen Shea’s current professional boxing record stands at 18-2 with 11 wins coming by way of knockout.  Born and bred in the Bronx, NY, Maureen is of Irish and Mexican heritage.  She has fought using her full family name of Maureen Shea Carranza and is fluent in Spanish.  In November 2006, while boxing underneath Evander Holyfield at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, Maureen Shea was introduced on her way to the scale as “The Real Million Dollar Baby”.  The name has stuck since that time.  Maureen received international attention in early 2005 as the world came to recognize that she was the female boxer that Hilary Swank studied and sparred with in preparation for her Academy Award winning performance on the movie “Million Dollar Baby“.  It is a connection that has remained and Maureen always acknowledges, but Maureen’s own professional boxing career has made it clear that she will seek her own accomplishments. Maureen Shea has utilized her ring success to propel her career into mainstream media.  In 2008, MTV nominated Maureen Shea as one of their “Toughest Coaches” for her role in the one hour long season opening episode of “Made”. February 2010, MTV released a thirty minute version of the segment due to its huge popularity. In the show, Maureen guided a young lady still and high school student with no boxing experience, and in six weeks, prepared her for her first competitive amateur bout with a win.  00:31:00ZhenanoBoxing,Zen,Success,Women,PassionJoin Zhena as she sips tea with Maureen Shea “The Real Million Dollar Baby” Maureen Shea, “The Real Million Dollar Baby”, is a world ranked professional boxehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2012/02/24/a-cup-of-home-intentional-design-with-kathleen-coadyLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2012/02/24/a-cup-of-home-intentional-design-with-kathleen-coady/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2012/02/24/a-cup-of-home-intentional-design-with-kathleen-coadyFri, 24 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMTA Cup of Home: Intentional Design with Kathleen Coady Join Zhena and celebrated interior designer, Kathleen McMullen Coady of Mission Blue Design as they sip tea and talk about the ways your home and office environment can impact your productivity and even the amount of love you give and receive!

Perla released her debut “Perla Batalla” on the Warner/Discovery label in 1994. Not surprisingly, the critics loved it, calling her singing “sublime” and her talent “stunning”. Like many original artists, Perla opted to go independent, releasing her second album, “Mestiza” in 1998 on her own Mechuda Music label. An immediate favorite on Public Radio shows throughout the U.S. “Mestiza” was selected as Best Independent Release of the Year by Amazon.com. “Heaven and Earth” followed in 2000, along with a nod to Perla as Amazon’s Emerging Artist of the Year. Perla’s eagerly awaited follow-up to the “Mestiza” song cycle was an innovative undertaking of contagious rhythm and pure joy. Named for her parents record shop, the “Discoteca Batalla” project , was a compilation of original compositions interspersed with traditional Spanish language classics arranged to reflect Perla’s rich bicultural personal and musical heritage. Perla has taken the timeless songs heard growing up and molded their rhythmic and melodic forms to create a stunning cross-pollination of trend and tradition. “Discoteca Batalla” has appeared on “best of” lists throughout the country. Perla is excited about her tribute to Leonard Cohen entitled “Bird on the Wire”. The Album includes special guests such as; David Hidalgo (of Los Lobos), Bill Gable, Vinnie Coliauta, Greg Leisz, Julie Christensen and many other fine musicians.   00:31:00ZhenanoMusic,Holidays,Thanksgiving,Christmas Carols,Leonard CohenCelebrate Thanksgiving with Zhena and Singer Perla Batalla Grammy nominated vocalist, composer, and arranger Perla Batalla was born in Los Angeles, CA.  She fhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/11/18/a-cup-of-gorgeous-lose-20-pounds-by-dinnerPsychologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/11/18/a-cup-of-gorgeous-lose-20-pounds-by-dinner/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/11/18/a-cup-of-gorgeous-lose-20-pounds-by-dinnerFri, 18 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMTA Cup of Gorgeous!

Overeat? Smoke? Self Defeat?  Have a cup of Clarity with Zhena as she welcomes Brennan Smith, holistic practitioner of hypnosis as he shares how to break the sub conscious, self defeating behaviors we have once and for all! Los Angeles hypnotherapist Brennan Smith has always been fascinated by the brain, and has a degree in Cellular Biology with an emphasis in Neurophysiology. When Brennan stumbled onto this career they call Hypnotherapy (being from Kansas, he didn't really know there was such a thing) it was a great fit. Through a years-long study of subconscious behavior patterns, Brennan came to the realization that he hopes every single one of his clients has: none of us is broken. We're 100% perfect, and 100% worthy of having the lives we want to have. We're batting 1000, folks! How can that be?! It can be, because it is. Think about it this way: if you had lived through any other experiences than the ones you've had, or responded to any previous experiences differently than you did, then you wouldn't be who you are, which means that you've responded 100% correctly on the path to becoming who you are. Now, if you're experiencing something that just doesn't match with what you want to your life to look & feel like, that's understandable. But start responding differently right now, and you'll be just as 100% correct in creating a different life. What can you get out of this? Well, as Brennan learned those behavior patterns mentioned above, he stopped getting in his own way. He started reaching his goals, and completing tasks efficiently, and owning his own power. Then there were the behavior patterns that govern relationships, through which he found deep connection with his partner, Katie. Then there was that phobia of spiders . . . gone!   00:31:00Zhenanoweight loss,success,smoking cessation,health,procrastinationDo you procrastinate? Overeat? Smoke?

From early years traveling Europe with her parents, and her eventual migration west to Ojai, California, She was educated within the teachings of philosopher J.Krishnamurti, and the Theosophical tradition. After a 7 year stint with a high fashion company, Uschi returned to Ojai.

Indias land finally opened to her in the Winter of 2007, and during her first visit, it became clear she had found a home, and a new intention in her life. Returning to India in the summer of 2008, she began to work with women in Varanasis outlying villages, contributing to a budding womens empowerment project in hopes of developing a production center and headquartersfor a fair-trade clothing line, and more.

Susan Stiffelman, MFT,  (also known as AOL/ HuffPost Parent's parenting expert, "Advice Mama"), is dedicated to helping parents raise kids who are joyful, resilient and authentically themselves--without power struggles, negotiations, meltdowns and the various other thieves of joy that can interfere with a parent's ability to enjoy the journey of parenthood. She's gifted at working with children, teens, and families, as well as helping facilitate profound and rapid change in her counseling with adults and couples, focusing on reducing the blame and shame that often contributes to depression, poor communication, anxiety, and other emotional/ psycho-social problems. Susan has had extensive training working with the ADD/ ADHD population, emphasizing strategies versus labels, and reframing the negative aspects as potentially valuable assets if understood. She also uses The Work, a cognitive approach developed by Byron Katie for dealing with mental chatter and obsessive, paralyzing thoughts. Susan’s parenting approach focuses on helping parents manage their reactions—regardless of how their kids are behaving-- so they can position themselves to be the calm parent our children cooperate with, confide in, are comforted by, and genuinely respect. 00:46:00Zhenanoparenting,kids,family,advice,mothersToday, Zhena has Tea with the "Advice Mama." they discuss proven, simple methods for parents and couples to stay deeply connected through disagreements and thehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/09/16/tea-with-zhena-can-you-really-make-a-difference-yesFoodhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/09/16/tea-with-zhena-can-you-really-make-a-difference-yes/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifebythecup/2011/09/16/tea-with-zhena-can-you-really-make-a-difference-yesFri, 16 Sep 2011 23:00:00 GMTTea with Zhena: Can a Few Pennies Really Make a Difference?
