00:31Close-Up with Helen Olian
Returning to Close-Up Talk Radio is author Helen Olian. Fascinated with writing and animals since her youth, Helen wrote countless stories for her own viewing. After suffering a serious accident and becoming wheelchair bound, Helen decided to turn her passion into magnificent tales for all to see.
Over her professional career Helen has completed 13 books of various themes, 8 of which are “doggie” themed including The Doggy Trip and The Doggy Farm. Helen’s most successful work to date is The Aliens, which was featured on a list of top 100 bestsellers on www.amazon.com. “This is such a tremendous honor to be able to do what I love and see people appreciate it. I write animal themed rhyme verse books for children and it’s exciting to see their reactions at book signings,” exclaims Olian.
Helen is currently completing the ninth and final installment of doggy-themed books entitled The Master Doggy. “To wrap up the series, this tale follows a down-to-earth dog whose boss celebrates his birthday at the office, has a hill near his house and becomes master of the hill. It sticks with the rhyme verse patterns with wonderful illustrations to match. He becomes master yet remains humble.”
Sticking with her youth targeted books, Helen is also working on a bedtime children’s book to help kids sleep at night. Helen’s books are wonderfully illustrated and easily relatable to children ages eight and up. All of Helen’s works are available through Maypole Books, which she founded in her home state of New Mexico.

Part 5: Close-Up Talk Radio spotlights Carol Purroy
Reno, NV – It’s been said, “Every time an elderly person dies a library is lost.” If we don’t leave a record of our having lived, it’s lost, forever.
But what kind of story makes for a good memoir? Carol Purroy would ask, “What kind of memoir makes for a good story?” Purroy is the author of Your Life Oughta Be a Book, a beginner’s guide to memoir writing, inspired by her more than 20 years’ experience teaching memoir writing classes. According to Purroy, Your Life Oughta Be a Book isn’t just a “How-to” book, it’s also a “Why-to” book.
“Some people know their life should be a book, and that’s great. But others resist when I tell them they should write their own stories,” says Purroy. “They say, ‘My life isn’t interesting. I’ve never done anything.” Or, “I’m not a writer. I wouldn’t know how.” This book knocks down all the obstacles and explains how to get started, and how to keep going to the end.”
A memoir focuses on a specific aspect or time in a person’s life and explores it to reveal its significance. Anything can trigger a memory: a photo, a car, a fragrance. In the first class of the series, Purroy has students study a photo from his or her past and write a story about it.
Purroy has found writing one’s life story beneficial in many ways. She says, “The story of you is the most important thing you’ll ever write. It’s therapeutic; it enhances self-esteem; it’s your most valuable legacy.”
“It’s important to leave behind something that tells who you are,” says Purroy, “so your descendants will know more about who they are.”

Close-Up with Dr. Joyce P. Buckner
In life and in love, many of us have experienced a roller coaster ride from a taste of heaven to a slice of hell and back. For over 30 years clinical psychologist, licensed marriage/family therapist, and author Dr. Joyce P. Buckner has struggled to understand the human condition and the reality of relationship issues. She has gradually made extraordinary breakthroughs in relationship and marriage dynamics. Her working motto is clear. She wants nothing more than to help you “create relationships you love.”
“The communication of specific interpersonal skills produces loving relationships. We know what the skills are and we know how to develop them, even when things go wrong and individual developmental issues surface. Conflict is predictable in an intimate relationship. Helping couples recognize the conflict as an opportunity for growth and guiding them in their development toward maturity and a truly positive and healthy relationship is the focus,” says Buckner.
Dr. Buckner has put her highly effective theories to paper by authoring Making Real Love Happen: The New ERA of Intimacy. “My own black pit experience in attempting to have a good marriage mirrored that of thousands of others who failed. I wanted to find answers as to why so many were unable to create healthy marriages. Patterns are discovered. The theories I’ve developed are based upon massive research, clinical observation, and personal experience. Empathy, Respect, Authenticity ---“ERA”--- are the three basic interpersonal skills found to be essential in intimacy building. They are essential tools for sustaining any healthy relationship."

Close-Up Talk Radio spotlights Brian Kypta
Folsom, CA – While the secret to a happy marriage remains a secret, many couples who have experienced difficulties in their relationship have found help through couples therapy. Unfortunately, according to recent surveys, nearly two-thirds of divorced couples never sought therapy before dissolving their relationship. Had they done so, perhaps many of these couples could have reconciled.
Brian Kypta is a registered Intern (IMF 68710) and employee of Life Practice Counseling Group (supervised by Carisa Sherwood LMFT 48768) specializing in couples therapy. Kypta works with couples in various levels of distress to help resolve their issues and restore their relationship.
“My client is not the husband or the wife,” says Kypta. “My client is the relationship. I don’t take sides. I look at how people relate to each other and I help them understand each other better to help resolve their issues.”
According to Kypta, couples typically don’t argue about the real issues bothering them. They argue around the issue because they don’t feel like it’s something they can bring up with their spouse.
“It’s not about mediation,” explains Kypta. “Couples often want to know out who is right about an issue, but that has nothing to do with my role. In almost every case, the real problem is that they have difficulties trusting one another. In therapy, couples learn how to develop that trust and how to nurture it over time."
The most important thing that is established in a therapeutic environment, says Kypta, is safety. It’s essential people feel safe, respected and heard. Ultimately, healing isn’t accomplished in the therapist’s office, but rather with each other.
“People only come to therapy because it’s important,” says Kypta. “What’s important is solving their problems."

Close-Up with Lauren Heistad of SOULworks Consulting
There are those in life who disregard the signs that life waves in front of us. As individuals, we are all capable of incredibly extraordinary things. We just have to answer when opportunity knocks. We are all born with a gift of some sort. We just have to allow this gift to flourish and not be afraid to fail. For Lauren Heistad, certified spiritual healer, author, and founder of SOULworks Consulting, her calling came to her in a crystal clear vision.
With the foundation of SOULworks Consulting, Lauren has been able to share her energy-healing abilities with people from all over the world. The sessions and workshops Lauren conducts will help people to truly embrace and utilize self-empowerment, spiritual growth, find inner peace, reach maximum potentials, and ultimately enhance their daily lives. Strong word of mouth has been incredible for SOULworks and the buzz does not appear to be slowing anytime soon as Lauren is excited to announce the June 2013 opening of the SOULworks Sacred Healing Centre in Saskatoon, Canada. Along with the in-person sessions, workshops, and guided meditations, Lauren also holds distance and absent healing sessions, which have been amazing people since she began conducting these highly effective sessions.
Lauren is currently looking forward to the release of her debut book entitled Activating Your SOULworks – A Healing Journey, which will be available later this year. “In this book, I share all of my experiences, what I learned, how I learned, and how I became spiritually enlightened. It gives lessons and ways to find truth, increase personal intuition, and connect with the spirit. Everyone is capable. You just have to open yourself up to it.”

Close-Up w/ Lisa Loustaunau of Core Energetics
“The goal of Core Energetics is to bring a person into the fullness of their aliveness. It’s not about eradicating depression, healing anxiety, or fixing a relationship. Those are the issues people come in with. There’s a basis for every issue. We look at the issues at hand and study the pattern of the physical structure of the individual. How does the body keep them in a certain pattern? We look at the body as the source of information as to why we harbor certain feelings and are often unable to release these feelings,” says Lisa Loustaunau, Certified Core Energetics Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Director of Academics at the Institute of Core Energetics (NY Campus).
At the Institute of Core Energetics (www.coreenergetics.org), Lisa instructs people across the globe in a variety of workshops, programs, and classes sharing her extensive knowledge and vast experience in Core Energetics methods and practices. People can receive practitioner training and take part in different personal growth and leadership programs directly at the Institute.
From June 7-9, The Institute of Core Energetics will be hosting the “Introductory Weekend” to exhibit the strengths and importance of the training programs, which begin each fall. The benefits of the services provided by the Institute are truly incredible. People can gain an understanding about the effects of energy, connections/relationships, pleasure and pain, as well as the core self.
