On today’s episode of The Sheri and Erin Show we talked about valuing our own unique gifts and talents. Listen in our conversation as we talk about various TV Shows and icons who have impacted us over the years such as Carol Burnett, Jack Parr, Dick Cavett, Lucille Ball and Richard Pryor. We talked about the power of communication social relevance that comedy can play in popular culture and some the recent comedy that Bill Maher is putting out. Toward the end of the show, John from MANswerMonday joins us and talks about the importance of being yourself and surrounding yourself with good company.
Here’s a clip of Bill Maher’s recent work for you to enjoy:
And for more laughs, here’s a clip of Art Linkletter on Kids Say the Darndest Things:
I am currently teaching a Helping and Listening Skills class at Long Beach City College. We are using a book on Motivational Interviewing. What we are learning more than anything is how important it is to listen to what we are saying and to what others are saying. We are constantly getting feedback from the world as to where we are or how we’re doing. But many times we want to blame others for our circumstances rather than listen to what’s really going on in our “Lives.”
This video will help you to understand the significance of relationships and connection in healing our lives:
I met my husband 14 years ago. I spent at least 10 of those years trying to please him and trying to change him. Once I got sick of that, I did something that worked and that made me happy. I accepted him for who he is and most importantly, I accepted me for who I am. Since then, it’s like our marriage has been re-born.

I am available for public speaking at your organization. I am knowledgeable in the following topics: Helping and Listening Skills, Motivational Interviewing, Stress Management, Overcoming Self-Sabotage and more.
I also do presentations “my way”. I have created a Super-Hero character named Gal Vanized and she has a powerful message about the perils of people-pleasing and perfectionism. See more about my speaking style and experience on my speaker profile page at: http://sherizampelli.com/blog/public-speaking/
Toastmasters has been an amazing experience for me. It’s helped me to uncover my voice and build my confidence. Now I can speak about what I want to speak about the way I want to speak about it. Today I completed my Humorously Speaking manual in Toastmasters and delivered speech #4 “Keep Them Laughing”. I need help with writing jokes but it feels good that I’m confident enough to try.
In the past, if someone laughed during my speech, I thought for sure I had done something stupid and they were laughing at me. In this speech, I decided to make fun of fear by bringing it right into the speech and joking about it. With practice I hope I truly will “keep them laughing” because I know that laughter is powerful.
I would love the opportunity to deliver this speech or one like it to groups of women and girls of all ages. If you are looking for a speaker at your next event, contact me by leaving a comment here or contact me on Facebook.
Join Sheri and Erin on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12 noon PST (2:00 EST) as they interview spiritual counselor Cynthia Lamb about how to move out of a fear-based “lack” consciousness and into a consciousness of “prosperity” based on joy and love.
After experiencing an Awakening at the age of 18, Cynthia has spent the last 20 years of her life learning how to integrate her new awareness, with her past beliefs. She has studied this through the process of trial and error-which she freely admits was heavy on the error portion!
With the ability to see and observe her own irrationality, Cynthia embarked on a journey to clear and update her Emotional, Mental, and Physical Bodies to reflect her highest level of Truth. She is a living example of the idea that it is absolutely possible to achieve Spiritual Integration, live authentically in alignment with the will of our soul, and to our individual ability to create a transformed life.
Cynthia is certified to do healings and she has expertise working with many types of energies. However, she observed that whenever she “did” anything “for” or “to” a client’s energy field, that client would experience a very short-term healing. From these episodes, Cynthia began to understand and believe in order to achieve lasting, life-transforming healing, and integration, there needed to be a 100% dedication on behalf of the client to do the “inside” work of clearing old emotional wounds.
Cynthia began in a sense, to assist clients with “cleaning out their Spiritual Basements”. Today she supports her client’s process by standing on the foundational energies of Truth, Love, and Compassion. Cynthia empowers people who are ready to take 100% responsibility for their lives and move out of fear and into the boundless Joy and Freedom of the Loving Paradigm!

Create The Life You Want is a hypnosis recording that will take you on a journey away from self-sabotage and toward your desires.
The format for this session is based on a real session I had with a live client. She went home from the session and cleared out 25 years of clutter from her home and had it hauled away in dumpsters.

Many of the leaders in self-help, spirituality and even brain research circles agree: you can change your reactions to life as you change your thoughts and activities. This free download will help you to put all of the latest research to practical use. Listen to this hypnosis CD everyday and I guarantee that your life will be improved.
I was influenced by many leaders, teachers and authors over the years, including but not limited to Abraham Hicks, Bob Griswold, Christopher Westra, Bill Harris, Louise Hay, Catherine Ponder, Deepak Choprah, Susan Jeffers, Jack Canfield, James Hyman, Wendi Friesen, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, Nancy Bonus, Ahman, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Les Brown and Mark Victor Hansen.
All these experts say the same things:
**Attitude is everything
**Focus on what you want and you’ll get it
**Vibration and energy are more important than thoughts
This all sounded good in theory but sometimes I had trouble knowing how to change my attitude. It seemed like it was out of my control, like my body was calling the shots, not me. Turns out, based on the latest brain research, this isn’t so far from the truth.
Our brains become programmed by repetition and unless we take an active step in our “programming” we will often run on self-destructive auto-pilot. Recordings such as Create The Life You Want help you to re-program your mind, to take charge of your life.

According to The Secret and The Law of Attraction, it is important to feel good if you want to attract good things to yourself. If you feel bad but try to “think positive” you are practically wasting your time, or at least prolonging the process. I stay up-to-date and current on brain research and studies involving the mind. By subscribing to this blog you have the opportunity to be current on the issues that affect your mental and emotional health.
Beginning January 6, 2010, Rev. Ahman will conduct Healing School every Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
Healing School is a powerful blend of lessons derived from A Course In Miracles, The Bible and the Science of Mind textbook. You will learn how to heal your life beginning with healing your mind. As you let your mind be healed, it will manifest in your emotions, body, relationships, career, finances and all aspects of your life.
If you would like to experience Healing School but you live outside the Los Angeles area, you can receive the weekly CD’s and videos posted on YouTube. Details to follow.

This week on The Sheri and Erin Show we interviewed Ahman on the topic of healing fear. Fear is the culprit of a happy life. Healing your perception is the key to freedom.
Ahman is a teacher of A Course in Miracles and the Bible. Listening to his unique perspective on these two books is one way to achieve mental healing.
I am not exaggerating when I say that Erin, Ahman and I all experienced healing just from being a part of the conversation. I’ve deciding to re-listen so I can get even more clear on how to heal fear so I can live free.
If fear stands between you and your dreams or ideal relationships, you’ll want to listen to this show. Once you hear this show, you’ll probably want to catch Ahman live. He will be speaking at Guidance Church in Los Angeles on November 22. The topic is Healing Anger and the service starts at 10 a.m. I’ll be there and I hope you will too.
Many people today are looking for a practical, spiritual message but sometimes find themselves feeling confused after a counseling session or public presentation. Anthony de Mello uses storytelling and humor to deliver a down-to-earth message of spirituality before a live audience. He demystifies spiritual principles and gives an interesting definition of prayer as fire.

Speaking of practical spirituality, this past week my friend Erin and I started a new Blog Talk Radio show and our goal is to deliver a spiritual message of unity, diversity, love, joy and peace and have fun doing it. Please join us live as we take your calls or chat with you on-line.
