She educates audiences on many health and wellness topics including nutrition, fitness, and the importance of balancing the body, mind and soul to achieve optimal health and wellness. Her book, Be Lean: How to Get the Body You Love and Love the Body You Have, was written to guide readers towards achieving peace with their bodies through positive affirmations, proper nutrition, and natural health.

A certified personal trainer, Romy performed in eight amateur fitness/bodybuilding competitions between 1996 and 2005. Before making a career change to take her message to adults, she served for almost a decade as a full-time health teacher and coach in the Phoenix-area. Romy realized to effectively impact the quality of children’s lives, it is essential to educate and motivate adults on how to implement healthy lifestyle choices.

Romy holds a Masters Degree in Education, as well as an AAS Degree in Dietetic Technology. She is a DTR (Dietetic Technician, Registered) and a member of the American and Arizona Dietetic Associations. Romy is the Arizona Dietetic Technician, Registered of the Year 2009, and adjunct nutrition faculty at two Arizona community colleges.

Guests:
Paulette Jaxton’s novel, The Empress Sword.
Andrea’s The New Vintage Wardrobe blog.
M.A. in PA’s The Modern Domestic Geek.

Mentioned:
J&D Bacon Salt

Do not play with children present, as we discuss the magic of Santa Claus and want no part of spoilers!

Join us in my living room as we have an unplanned discussion on how we manage to survive the overwhelming crush of the holidays with most of our sanity intact. We also discuss some of our favorite holiday traditions and trying to make the holidays special for ourselves and our families.
We cover old and new traditions including meals, desserts, shopping and decorating.
One thing of note, when Andrea asked how our pup reacted to the tree, I neglected to mention that we used a bitter orange spray on it. I don’t know how much that helped since we never left her unsupervised with the tree and were quick to correct her behavior. This combination made the tree off-limits to her. Since we’ve now put the tree up again, we’ve learned that the bitter orange remains on the tree and hope it will keep her away from it again.

Also, I don’t detail what we did with the reindeer food. As the last thing for the kids to do before bedtime, they would simply go outside and sprinkle it in the yard so that Santa would know where they were. This was especially useful when they were believers and might have worried if Santa would know which parent’s house they were at on Christmas Eve. Be warned, because if it rains it looks really nasty but is really just sparkly oatmeal. :-)

In chaotic Girls’ Rules fashion, my Golden Retriever pup Kaylee occasionally makes her presence known.

All proceeds raised were in support of Carrie Turnbull and Ann Hudnall in their 2011 fundraising goals for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in Philadelphia.

At the end of the evening I was able to steal them away for an interview, which I am happy to share with you in this episode. This will be their fourth 3-Day, and I hope their dedication and excitement will encourage you to make a donate in support of their team.

This episode I’m joined in the recording burrow by Jett Micheyl and M.A. in the Pa., and we have a few of the best female voices of podcasting join us via Skype to discuss various issues in the podcast world including voice acting, podcast production, and sexuality.

Martha Holloway of Dancing Cat Studios, The Balticon Podcast, and the now retired A.D.D. Cast. You can find her on twitter at @ljosalf. Along with her husband Paul Fischer, their Dancing Cat Studios has produced Ronnie Blackwell’s “Serve it Cold” available at Podiobooks.com,  Lorne Epstein’s “You’re Hired”, available at Podiobooks.com, and assisted in production for Forever Fifteen by Kimberly Steel.  This female force of nature has also done voice work for various podcast novels, and can most recently be found in Voices of Babylon’s Three Edged Sword which is set in the Babylon 5 universe.

Paulette Jaxton and all of her writings and projects can be found at her main site. Her current podcast novel can be found at The Empress Sword site or at the Podiobooks.com site and Form Letter Rejection Theatre is where you can find a few of her short stories released with a full audio cast. You can find her on Twitter at @PauletteJaxton and in Facebook as PauletteJaxton. Paulette has also done voice work for various podcasts, and puts her exceptional audio production talents to good use by assisting in the production of Chris Lester’s Metamor City and P.G. Holyfield’s Murder at Avedon Hill.

Heather Welliver has the majority of her voice work listed at her main site. The podcast she hosts with her husband, Grailwolf’s Geek Life, is currently on hiatus. You can find her music with The Shillas at Amie Street. The sultry “Faithful” is my personal favorite.

M.A. in the Pa.‘s projects include The Modern Domestic Geek and the now retired Better Late Than Never and Fanboy Hell. She has also appeared on Otaku Generation and has done voice work for various podcast novels. M.A. can be found on Twitter at @MAinPA.

Jett Micheyl blogs for The Nerd Signal, has appeared on the Geek Radio Daily podcast and previously had her own podcast called the Jett Show. Her personal blog is The Opinionated Observer. Jett can be found on Twitter at @MistressJett.

The host, Vivid Muse. I co-host a blended family life podcast called Into the Blender with her husband Chooch. Our now-defunct podcast, The City of Heroes Podcast, was a finalist in 2008 and 2009 for the Parsec Award. My personal blog is Vivid Musings and I’ve also provided voice work for various podcast novels and projects.

This is not a topic show, but rather a chance for us to record together before we add more voices on the next episode. We talk about shared interests, our other projects and we go on a bit long about MMO gaming since it’s something we all dearly love.

Also, I ask for input from any males that may be listening as well as anyone that played Star Trek Online during the Borg attack on the last day of beta testing.
