113 How to tell the good guys from the bad
Guest: Stephany Alexander (Run time: mins)

On this celebration of Valentine's Day we thought we'd touch on a topic we don't usually discuss--dating. Seems there are a lot of single women out there who find themselves disappointed and sometimes even frightened to discover that the man they've been dating isn't the nice guy they thought. Stephany Alexander, herself a survivor of past abusive and cheating relationships, created an online database where women can report negative--or positive--experiences with guys they've been involved with. It's called WomanSavers because she believes we shouldn't have to keep rediscovering the bad eggs--let's get 'em out there in public so others can check. Pedophiles, married men who cheat, physical abusers, and more are listed. Listen to what Stephany has to say about how to protect yourself.

If you've ever felt like a victim, consider what it would be like—in fact close your eyes and imagine—you are the Mayor of Youville—the queen/diva/CEO of your world. It's true, says Eli. "No one decides but you. Society doesn't decide to make you what you are—you do." Easier said than done, you say? Listen to Eli's unique way of describing how to take charge of your life.

107 Winning is NOT a Dirty Word!
With Guest Cristina Andersson (Run time: 1 hr 5 mins)

You really can win--do what you want with your life--when you're willing to open your mind. But it's not about hocus-pocus; it's about serious work.

And if you're like a lot of women, you may not know how to start. In this show we talk with Cristina Andersson, an international business consultant and educationalist from Hesinki, Finland. She saw in her work why training programs are only as good as the time and effort put into the basic steps of learning. When you learn how to learn effectively--and she describes the process in her book "The Winning Helix"--you really can make your dreams come true. Ms. Andersson is on the Board of Directors of SWWAN (Single Working Women's Affiliate Network) and is the founder of The SWWAN Institute of Winning. Listen to her tell how she illustrates in her book the pitfalls of learning to win by chronicling her efforts to learn to be an opera singer and her observations of a professional hockey team on its way to winning a championship in Finland.
