Tune in Saturday, December 14 @ 11 am, and Sunday, December 15 @ 8 pm to hear Ira speak with BROOKE SNYDER of Brooke Snyder Wellness. They discuss how Brooke’s background in sales and marketing led her to promote health and wellness through yoga and meditation, to manage the 50-70,000 “sentences in our mind,” 70-80% of them being negative. Her goal is to help people create more options, that are creative, and solution-focused; allowing them to create new by giving up old. Even her weightlifting regimen is to encourage herself and others to be empowered and uplifting. So listen in!
