What woman today doesn’t feel over-worked, over-tired, stress-out and pushed to her limit?
We all feel we aren’t DOING ENOUGH. We don’t have enough time and we are lost to ourselves, awash in commitments that never allow for our own moments of self-care, personal enjoyment and individual reward. As Dr. Jaime Kulaga puts it, “we are on the Ferris Wheel that keeps us stuck going round and round.”
On the Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavso Radio Show Dr. Kulaga talks about her remarkable purse-sized handbook, The SuperWoman’s Guide to Super Fulfillment, the essential quick-start
guide to getting your life back on track.
CLICK THE LINK at the bottom of the article to HEAR this powerful interview that can change your life for the better.
Dr. Kulaga, a nationally known mental health expert, has distilled the step-by-step strategies of a Superwoman to get there. Her steps and strategies are like having a personal coach and a cheerleader looking over your shoulder.
Hear how the The SuperWoman’s Guide gives women the tools to begin enjoying life again, stop struggling and focus on how to create a lifestyle that works for you instead of against you.
Dr. Kulaga knows first-hand how things can get twisted up. A married mother of two, author, inspirational speaker, workshop leader, Ph.D and counselor/coach with a thriving practice called of Mindful Rehabilitation (www.mindfulrehab.com), she has had to learn when to stop and change course to preserve that balance.
And she shares these experiences with you.
But mostly, she has culled the essences of her workshops, and working with women around the world who share these same frustrations and anxieties, to share this information with you.
Women who give until all the life juices are drained.
Dr. Jamie shares examples, tips, and tools that are realistic, easy and even fun to implement, so you can learn how to:
• Identify your top life roles and prioritize what really matters
• Say no and take care of yourself—without feeling guilty
• Get rid of the shoulds, have-tos and oughts in favor of satisfying yourself
• Communicate with confidence, the key to getting what you want from others
• Aim to become self-actualized rather than perfect
• Make good decisions untainted by emotions
• Stop being comfortable with what’s uncomfortable and move toward feeling
comfortable with what’s comfortable
• Fulfill your own bucket list NOW, and not waiting till your years are waning
• Release the toxic people in your life and learn to manage those that need a
little nudge to be contributory
• Create a plan to work through the barriers to your personal fulfillment
• Set smart goals, track your success, and reach out for support
• Reframe your past to work for you in the present
• Become not a Type A, but a Type S Woman—the workaholic meets Fijian
islands!
Listen as Dr. Kulaga tells you how to take back control of your life! She discusses how every chapter in her amazing book ends with a simple achievable list of SuperWoman skills that can be yours—a gateway to the balance in life and love you crave!
Dr. Kulaga’s passion is to motivate others to live their best life.
Her successful SuperWoman workshops empower women to make better decisions, steer the
course of their lives, and use practical tools to find deeper fulfillment and happiness.
Hear what other professionals are saying about Dr. Jamie Kulaga:
“Dr. Jaime Kulaga’s debut work is an upbeat, practical, and guilt-free guide to balance and fulfillment. It’s expertly crafted to help busy women stay on target with less stress. As Dr. Kulaga shows, balance isn’t about learning how to juggle more; it’s about focusing on what’s important. She teaches powerful techniques to do just that and much more. Take a deep breath, relax, and let The SuperWoman’s Guide to Super Fulfillment show you how to stand tall and create what you really want for your life.” –Patricia Spadaro, author of Honor Yourself: The Inner Art of Giving and Receiving
“Kulaga weaves the threads of many concepts into a warm blanket of inspiration, encouragement, and realworld advice for women who aren’t on their own priorities list. The SuperWoman’s Guide to Super Fulfillment blends relatable wake-up call examples with hopeful and achievable snapshots of what a balanced life looks and feels like. Packed with meaningful and practical information, tips, and exercises, it shows how to break free of barrier-building ‘shoulds’ and ‘have tos’ in order to live a guilt-free, fulfilling life. A must-read for working women—which is every woman. Highly recommended!” -Paula Renaye, author of
Living the Life You Love: The No-Nonsense Guide to Total Transformation
We may be a super woman, but not necessarily a SuperWoman, a woman who knows how to achieve balance between life and work and be personally fulfilled.

It is my honor to introduce you to my guest blogger Gregg Durette, radio show host, financial advisor and blogger. Learn more about Gregg at the bottom of this blog.
Everyone knows about the serious financial hardship that typically follows a major diagnosis such as cancer or a heart attack. What many people don’t see are the serious, long-term, devastating effects such a diagnosis has on not just the person with the medical condition but also, the family around them.
Families struggle to stay financially above water while at the same time, struggle to keep the family unit intact…oftentimes with little success. Such are the parts of the collateral damage that can last far beyond the actual medical condition itself.
Tune in this Wednesday, 1/27/16 at 9:30am (or anytime thereafter via podcast) by clicking here to hear this latest installment of Wicked Insurance Matters Radio Show with Greg Durette titled, The Toll of Illness.
We will discuss such topics as:
· The emotional impact and guilt caused by the financial hardship
· The cost of plans derailed by the diagnosis
· The importance of getting emotional support
· The critical need to rely on excellent advisors
I am honored to have one of the foremost authorities on this subject joining as my guest to discuss these important issues. His name is Russell Illes.

Although humans living in dark harmony with vampires is a popular entertainment theme, it is far from reality. New scientific evidence proves that working the “graveyard shift” may put women in an early grave.
We are wired to rise with the sun and sleep beneath the moon. Following natural sleep patterns help us stay healthy. The invention of electricity gave us artificial day at night. We extended our work hours. Has progress negatively impacted our health by turning our internal clock upside down? Questions surrounding the consequences of disrupted sleep patterns may have finally been answered.
A newly published Danish study set up a case-control group from more than 15,500 women who had been in the Danish military. Of those, 141 with breast cancer and 551 without filled in a 28-page questionnaire on work and lifestyle. But the analysis was only based on 132 cases and 505 controls.
The study also stated that women working three nights a week were at a 40% higher risk of getting breast cancer than women who did not. That number doubled to 80% if they worked 6 nights a week.
Rachel Crowson of American Radio News Network called me at home to comment on air about this breaking news.
RC: “Kathleen, you are a three-time breast cancer survivor who wrote the book, Surviving Cancerland: The Intuitive Aspects of Healing. Would you please comment on this new finding?”
K: “It brings to light the health challenges of daytime vs nighttime workers when the obvious difference is natural light. Sunlight and darkness at the appropriate time is important to humans. The hormone melatonin is produced in the body during sleep cycles and regulates wake cycles. It is also a calming agent. Night shift workers may lack adequate amounts of it because the synthesis and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness. Night workers are exposed to long hours of florescent light which inhibits melatonin production, and the room they sleep in during the day may not be dark enough to stimulate it either. Another consideration is the lack of cancer fighting vitamin D due to daytime sleep patterns. Scientific study has linked vitamin D deficiency to cancer.”
RC: “Kathleen, your story is pretty profound. Would you please share it with us?”
K: “I’m a three-time stage-four breast cancer survivor. What makes my story unique is that I used my female intuitive abilities through dreams to diagnose myself after doctors at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute told me I was healthy. I actually forced them into two operations they originally refused to perform where my true condition was revealed.”
RC: “How did you get doctors to listen to your dreams?”
K: “I didn’t. My healing journey was a double blind study between conventional medical tests and Intuitive dreams. It is a story of faith, intuitive ability, and contact with a Higher Order that gave me the strength to ignore the weight of incorrect medical opinion and the statistical survival chances to survive. I always worked with my conventional doctors, but never forgot to make the final decisions. I think it is important to point out that my dreams told me to go back to my doctors rather than looking for Swami-wami Ramalama-ding-dong. My dreams had faith in my doctors.
RC: How does your story fit into this new study?”
K: “Listen to your body. Deficiencies that lead to illness will make themselves known with signs, signals and symptoms. Our bodies have been speaking to us since the beginning of time. Believe in your Inner guidance.”
RC: “What do you see as a solution to this study? Is there an answer?”
K: “As long as two paychecks are required in homes to make ends meet, and there is a need for round-the-clock health care, there will be night shift workers and increased stress levels. Until more research is done on this information, I suggest taking vitamin D and melatonin supplements before bed. Melatonin can also help you get that much needed sleep after a long night of work and vitamine D will help put back some sunshine into your life.”
According to WebMD and the Mayo Clinic, the hormone melatonin is produced in the brain by the pineal gland.
Lisa Wilde, director of research at Breast Cancer Campaign, said: “Night shift working and breast cancer risk is a hugely complex area and two of the biggest risk factors – diet and physical activity outside of working hours – weren’t considered in this study.”
It would be paradise to work substantial week-day nine-to-five jobs. The reality is our economic challenges have put many families in financial crisis. Unable to afford child care, one parent works day shifts while the other stays home with the children. At night those roles are reversed. Many mothers work the graveyard-shifts in caregiver facilities like hospitals. It pays time and a half.
Coupled with financial problems, working night shift jobs can cause profound stress. Stress is a proven killer and is cited as one of the reasons for an increase in cancer.
Until we can all have the ideal life, job opportunities and work environment, do your body a favor; don’t put it in an early grave. Fortify it with supplements and exercise, empower it with love, and listen to it. You chose it for this lifetime. Don’t wear it out before its time. Meditate, count your blessings, and thank your Higher Power for guidance.

Have you met your Physician-within, yet? Set the intention to meet this important part of your life tonight before going to sleep. Here are three steps to get you started:
1.) Intention is the first step in manifesting information in your dreams. A simple request is all it takes. “I wish to meet my Physician-within in my dream tonight.”
If you are new at this experience and feel the need to truly ground this request, the second step is
2.) Write your intention on a piece of paper and place it under your pillow. This is one way to “sleep on it.” A play on words that holds profound meaning.
Our dreams often use a play on words to speak to us. “Washing your hands” of a situation, kicking something in the dream “to the curb,” are two examples that come to mind of ridding yourself of a problem as a means of solving a challenge. So tonight, sleep on your intention and remember not to forget your dream. You can set that as a third step and another intention:
3.) “And please let me remember my dream!”
Make sure your dream journal, pen and a flashlight is beside your bed. If your dream awakens you, it may be telling you to write down important information before you have a chance to forget it. This often happens in multiple dreams. Rather than waking up your family by turning on the lights, use the flashlight beside your bed.
If you do not own a dream journal, click on the gift link at the bottom of the article and download one for free in 7 Steps to Access, Awaken and Activate Your Inner Guide.
I met my Physician-within in my dreams. She introduced herself as Dr. Jules and the information she imparted about having three cancers, not just the one my earlier dreams had found, saved my life. That dream titled, Three Crabs, is in my book, and also in Dreams Cloud. http://www.dreamscloud.com/en/dreams/reflections/reflectionsall/38335
As an R.A. Boch Cancer Hotline Counselor, I’ve found that my story is not unique. Many women told me they knew something was wrong with their bodies and had dreams about their cancer, but did not take those intuitive dreams seriously. What does make my story special is that I did follow my dreams. My five minute video tells the story in film. This blog is a short version of my story in words, which is from my book SURVIVING CANCERLAND: The Intuitive Aspects of Healing.
My Physician-within came to my rescue when the medical community and the tests on which they relied missed my breast cancer three times. That is as lucky as winning the lottery three times in a row. Luck had little to do with it, Divine Intervention did. Science goes so far and then comes God, often in dreams. My first cancer was stage 2, my recurrence was stage 4 and the end stage of zero.
There is almost always a point in the process of illness where logic, reason, and medical expertise fail. It is at this point a patient can slip through the cracks, often never to recover.
However, we hold all the answers to our well-being. Dreams are the key to the solution.
Dreams are the way our Eternal Teacher, aka ET, phones home for help. Someone always answers the call. We are never alone in our darkest hour.
My story is about healing using both conventional and holistic medicine. I survived aggressive cancer by combining chemotherapy and radiation to heal my body with dreams, and used meditation and prayers to heal my spirit for total wellness. Laughter is also medicine and my husband of 33 years and I laughed “until we healed” because illness affects the whole family.
Using all of these modalities, especially dreams, gave me a healing greater than the sum of its individual parts. This also gave me the strength to stand in my power and speak my truth in order to win at the “Hospital Policy Game.”
I learned 3 important lessons that took me from a Survivor to an empowered Thriver.
1.) Life is not a spectator sport, so roll up your sleeves, jump into the game and be a part of your health team.
2.) Don’t be dismissed by those in authority. Teaching them to listen to you may save your life and be of service to others in the future.
3.) Be a persistent squeaky wheel until you are heard.
I have now been cancer free for 12 and 17 years respectively.
Dreams were an important part of your diagnosis and healing process. Five years after my second treatment, I had another dream. In it Dr. Jewels, my Physician–within, stood with my Spirit-guide, took my bag of chemotherapy and threw it into a trash can.
The message in the dream was loud and clear. I am not in remission. I am healed!
