Ask Happy Bitch…

This post comes courtesy of my Happy Hour radio show co-host Jonna Spilbor. Jonna is an attorney by day and as she likes to say "Superhero by night." Jonna is also a regular on Fox News and MSNBC and all around cool-chick and yes, a Happy Bitch. Enjoy her take on honesty always being the best policy, particularly when it comes to breakups. We talked about this topic during our September 29 radio show, Happy Hour, on Mix 97.7FM. Enjoy! You will love her style!

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?  

Let's chat about honesty.  Honesty is like that over-sized piece continue »

Relationship mistakes? Who me? Yes, you. Yes, me. Yes, all of us.

If you've made relationship mistakes in the past, well, welcome to the club. I think we all have. Oh well. Move on. It doesn't matter so much that we've screwed up in the past, what matters is that we learn what works, what doesn't work and have the presence of mind to stay alert and not fall into the same old patterns and keep making the same mistakes. When relationships ain't going so hot, we all like to think it's the other person, but let's face it, it takes two to Tango, so let's make sure you're not contributing to the drama.

Here are the five biggest relationship mistakes you don't want to make, in reverse order: continue »

Who doesn’t love a confident (not cocky!) person? Who doesn’t want to BE a confident person? We all do. As a matter of fact, balanced confidence helps us succeed in all areas of our lives – work, relationships, health, success, the whole kit and caboodle of what we want out of life. So what makes a person self confident? There are those who believe you either are a confident person or you aren’t. You know what I say? Bull. We all have the capacity to become self confident. Did some of us continue »

What do the most magnetic and popular people have in common? Is it a sense of humor? Intelligence? Kindness? Looks? Wealth? What do you suppose it is? Maybe you think it’s all of the above.

Or maybe none of the above. OK, so you can argue that some of these attributes contribute to a person’s popularity, but can any one really continue »

Health is a reflection of the relationship you have with your body.  ~Terri Guillemets

If your body could talk, what would it say to you? "Thank you for feeding me healthy foods and exercising me. I feel great. I look great. Oh, and thank you for  the importance you place on getting plenty of sleep so I can rejuvenate myself. I've shown my appreciation by removing those bags under our eyes."

While it may not use the same 26 letters you and I do, your body does in fact communicate with you on a daily basis. Let me ask you,  continue »

Well if that ain't a pretty crappy return on your investment. If it were money you were investing, you'd be broker than a bikini waxer trying to make a living in the 70's. (Boy, hair styles certainly have changed, haven't they?)

So it's not money we're talking about, but the fact is, your emotions, your time and ultimately your life are far more valuable than any bank roll. So if you're investing in a relationship that's a losing proposition, well then continue »

and other relationship myths you'll see an entirely new light after reading "The Case for Falling in Love" by Mari Ruti, PhD. Trust me. You'll never view love or so-called failed love the same again.

You know I'm an avid reader, and when I agreed to review this book, I did so because I figured it would be an appropriate topic for you. I mean, who doesn't want to love, be loved, let go of past failed romances and understand the complicated web we call intimate relationships. This book could single-handedly take the place of any book on relationships you've ever read. Yes girls, ditch the old guides.

Not only is Mari's book continue »

 "I'""I'm 46 years old, the mother of two,11 and 14, and the 14-year-old has cerebral palsy. After 21 years, my husband told me he wants a divorce and wants out. I have since found out he has a girlfriend. The marriage has been rocky, but I was in it for the long haul. I've been married since I was 24 years old. I have no idea who I am other than a wife and mother. How did I lose me?"

First, let me tell you that I feel your pain. My circumstances were different - divorce, change of jobs and a move, all bundled up in one not-so-neatly wrapped package and continue »

I started my day on only three hours of sleep. It didn’t matter. The coffee pot was turned on. I knew I’d power through. My team was coming over in less than an hour. It was go time. continue »

"Your money or your life!" demands the classic TV robber as he presses the nose of a pistol into the unsuspecting victim's back.

We chew our popcorn more slowly and wait with baited breath, anxious to see what the victim decides. Will she reach into her purse and hand over her cash? Or will she hang on to her money, kick the thief in the nuts and risk sacrificing her life?

If the show is a comedy, you know she's going for the cojones and high-tailing it out of there. But let's imagine this isn't a comedy. As a matter of fact, let's imagine this is real life.

You leave the mall one night after dark. You walk continue »
