Tune in Friday December 5 at 8am for Chat With Women on KKNW-AM 1150.

With the help of my spirit guides I assist you in healing the issues that keep you from your sacred source.”

Also on Monday’s show, hear the incredible story of a Carrie Holmes, skydiver.

Like so many women listening to Chat With Women, you are, or know someone who is, or will be, a breast cancer survivor.

On Thursday December 11 at 8am, Dr. Julie Silver author of “What Helped Me Get Through!” Will share her heart warming stories about cancer survivors who’ve shown incredible wisdom and hope.

We’re pleased to welcome Kelley L. Moore on Thursday as well. She’s a lifestyle expert with a simple mission: to inspire and empower people.
