    The Perks: Swag, Traveling, and Fine Dining

    On this episode, co-hosts Heather Dean, Chana Studley, and Chana Gilman explore the unique and delightful perks and swag that came along with their glamorous jobs: gifts, traveling, hotels, catered meals and fine dining. And while all of these perks can bring a moment of joy – okay make more than a moment – these cohosts can tell you that they basically pale in comparison to the deeper rewards they enjoy in their present-day lives in Israel and their relationship with the Creator of the Universe. === Show notes: Heather Dean Public Speaker, Media Strategist, Media Interview Coach, Podcaster, Author Producer and Host, "613 Books" Podcast Author, "Searching for Heather Dean" Purchase your copy: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=965927050X Website: www.heatherdeanproductions.com Contact Heather: https://heatherdeanproductions.com/contact/ Chana Studley Three Principles Practitioner, Speaker, and Author beyond-diagnosis.com chanastudley.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/understandinganxietystressandtrauma Purchase Chana Studley’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Diagnosis-paradigm-pathology-innate/dp/B0D3TQ6R99 https://www.amazon.com/Painless-novel-Chronic-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/B08PM27MJF https://www.amazon.com/Very-Well-novel-about-hormones/dp/B0BV4LSCFQ https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Low-Self-Esteem-Hollywood-healing/dp/1790894573 Chana Gilman Relationship Mastery Mentor and founder of Relationship Mastery with Confidence & Dignity Sought after mentor, author, and speaker in the international community Contact Email: chanagilmangroup@gmail.com Purchase Chana Gilman’s Books: 3 ebooks: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=stripbooks&crid=17S7514YPB66N&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Cstripbooks%2C370&ref=nb_sb_noss Audible: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=audible&crid=3F9WRM92XV5J4&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Caudible%2C501&ref=nb_sb_noss

    In the Stars’ Orbit: All in a Day’s Work

    On this episode, co-hosts Heather Dean, Chana Studley, and Chana Gilman reminisce about the years that they continually worked with and interacted with famous people. Those first “Pinch-me moments” when they met the first big star at work, soon became an everyday occurrence and suddenly being start-struck was shelved because there was work to do and deadlines to meet. In due course, this podcast’s co-hosts saw firsthand how an impossible standard of beauty, body image, and ageing affects famous men and women; whether they opted in or out of having an entourage; and staying famous at all costs. Tune in for the outrageous stories; stick around for the life lessons about the pursuit of relevance, respecting & owning your values, and obtaining genuine happiness & confidence. === Show notes: Heather Dean Public Speaker, Media Strategist, Media Interview Coach, Podcaster, Author Producer and Host, "613 Books" Podcast Author, "Searching for Heather Dean" Purchase your copy: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=965927050X Website: www.heatherdeanproductions.com Contact Heather: https://heatherdeanproductions.com/contact/ Chana Studley Three Principles Practitioner, Speaker, and Author beyond-diagnosis.com chanastudley.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/understandinganxietystressandtrauma Purchase Chana Studley’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Diagnosis-paradigm-pathology-innate/dp/B0D3TQ6R99 https://www.amazon.com/Painless-novel-Chronic-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/B08PM27MJF https://www.amazon.com/Very-Well-novel-about-hormones/dp/B0BV4LSCFQ https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Low-Self-Esteem-Hollywood-healing/dp/1790894573 Chana Gilman Relationship Mastery Mentor and founder of Relationship Mastery with Confidence & Dignity Sought after mentor, author, and speaker in the international community Contact Email: chanagilmangroup@gmail.com Purchase Chana Gilman’s Books: 3 ebooks: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=stripbooks&crid=17S7514YPB66N&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Cstripbooks%2C370&ref=nb_sb_noss Audible: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=audible&crid=3F9WRM92XV5J4&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Caudible%2C501&ref=nb_sb_noss

    Keeping Up Appearances: Our Perceptions about Celebrities

    On this episode, co-hosts Heather Dean, Chana Studley, and Chana Gilman explore values they've taken on in the past, and in the present. Journeys which have seen vast changes in their way of life; how they speak, date guys, and develop a new sense of self-respect are just some of the highlights. Comparing how one "keeps up appearances" in their former glamorous careers is vastly different from the lives they've chosen as religious women. Gone are the days when they dealt with celebrities' publicists who have to protect their famous clients when scandals erupt. On the bright side, they remember celebs who appreciate their good fortune (we're looking at you, John Travolta) and behave kindly to others in their sphere of influence. You'll appreciate the many takeaways in this episode, especially the advice that when you're taking on authentic Jewish values, do it at your own pace rather than (too) suddenly. It's a recipe for success because you own your journey every step of the way. === Show notes: Heather Dean Public Speaker, Media Strategist, Media Interview Coach, Podcaster, Author Producer and Host, "613 Books" Podcast Author, "Searching for Heather Dean" Purchase your copy: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=965927050X Website: www.heatherdeanproductions.com Contact Heather: https://heatherdeanproductions.com/contact/ Chana Studley Three Principles Practitioner, Speaker, and Author beyond-diagnosis.com chanastudley.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/understandinganxietystressandtrauma Purchase Chana Studley’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Diagnosis-paradigm-pathology-innate/dp/B0D3TQ6R99 https://www.amazon.com/Painless-novel-Chronic-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/B08PM27MJF https://www.amazon.com/Very-Well-novel-about-hormones/dp/B0BV4LSCFQ https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Low-Self-Esteem-Hollywood-healing/dp/1790894573 Chana Gilman Relationship Mastery Mentor and founder of Relationship Mastery with Confidence & Dignity Sought after mentor, author, and speaker in the international community Contact Email: chanagilmangroup@gmail.com Purchase Chana Gilman’s Books: 3 ebooks: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=stripbooks&crid=17S7514YPB66N&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Cstripbooks%2C370&ref=nb_sb_noss Audible: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=audible&crid=3F9WRM92XV5J4&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Caudible%2C501&ref=nb_sb_noss

    Friends in High Places

    On this episode, co-hosts Heather Dean, Chana Studley, and Chana Gilman dive into the fun and often surreal world of friendships they forged within the glamorous industries of television, motion pictures, and couture fashion; industries in which they worked many years ago. Each of the co-host are sharing stories behind the creative connections that not only influenced their careers but also enriched their personal lives. Eventually, each of the co-hosts chose to embrace a “life upgrade” away from the Glam for a life more meaningful and glorious.

    The Big Pivot

    On this episode, co-hosts Heather Dean, Chana Studley, and Chana Gilman wrap up this 6-part podcast by sharing their very-personal stories about having left behind glamorous jobs and stepping onto the bridge toward a Torah-observant life in Israel. What was the turning point? How does a life transition from one identity and lifestyle to another? And why did each of the co-hosts choose to leave the United States for Israel? Together, the co-hosts unpack how attributes from their former careers have helped, or surprised them, during this new chapter. And to wrap up, each host shares powerful closing insights for this podcast's listeners. === Show notes: Heather Dean Public Speaker, Media Strategist, Media Interview Coach, Podcaster, Author Producer and Host, "613 Books" Podcast Author, "Searching for Heather Dean" Purchase your copy: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Heather-Dean-Extraordinary-Interviewer/dp/965927050X?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=965927050X Website: www.heatherdeanproductions.com Contact Heather: https://heatherdeanproductions.com/contact/ Chana Studley Three Principles Practitioner, Speaker, and Author beyond-diagnosis.com chanastudley.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/understandinganxietystressandtrauma Purchase Chana Studley’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Diagnosis-paradigm-pathology-innate/dp/B0D3TQ6R99 https://www.amazon.com/Painless-novel-Chronic-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/B08PM27MJF https://www.amazon.com/Very-Well-novel-about-hormones/dp/B0BV4LSCFQ https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Low-Self-Esteem-Hollywood-healing/dp/1790894573 Chana Gilman Relationship Mastery Mentor and founder of Relationship Mastery with Confidence & Dignity Sought after mentor, author, and speaker in the international community Contact Email: chanagilmangroup@gmail.com Purchase Chana Gilman’s Books: 3 ebooks: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=stripbooks&crid=17S7514YPB66N&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Cstripbooks%2C370&ref=nb_sb_noss Audible: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Chana+Gilman&i=audible&crid=3F9WRM92XV5J4&sprefix=chana+gilman%2Caudible%2C501&ref=nb_sb_noss
