Week 2 of the From Heartache to Your Heart’s Desire Telesummit has been no less amazing than the first week of empowering and transformational interviews! From the powerful messages, to the incredibly generous free gifts offered by the experts, to the amazing testimonials that fill my Inbox and our Facebook fan page every day, I can’t begin to express what a fascinating journey this has been.
My biggest take-away so far from this telesummit is the incredible privilege it is to be able to (1) live my purpose and bring this message of hope, healing, and transformation to the world, and (2) how much love there is in this amazing, beautiful world. The experts on this telesummit did not get paid, nor did they sell programs. They simply gave generously of their time and themselves, and, in doing so, we came together and created something absolutely beautiful and powerful that is changing hearts and lives all over the world.
One of the testimonials that most moved me was from a woman who is homeless and living out of her car with her dog. She lost her young only son a few years ago, found out her husband had been unfaithful throughout most of their son’s life, lost her job and, consequently, her home. She uses the Internet in public libraries, free Internet cafes, and other places that provide free Wi-Fi, and came across the telesummit. She signed up and was listening to the interviews while applying for jobs. And, despite everything she is facing – all of the heartache that she has experienced and is still going through – all she could do was thank me for the interviews and the messages she was hearing and receiving.
As I posted on Facebook the day after I received her email: If you think for one minute that when you are living your purpose it doesn’t make a difference for others… Think again!
And there’s a reason this woman was expressing thanks for the interviews. This isn’t “just another love summit.” The messages in this telesummit are power-full and provide real, concrete information about inner healing, hope, living fearlessly, and attracting love into our lives!
- On Monday,l Dr. Margaret Paul talked about “The Profound Secret to Healing Heartache.” She walked us through a healing exercise that I did as she was explaining it, and experienced a wonderful sense of healing and peace – so much so that I was moved to tears during our interview!
- Laurel House came in with guns blaring and talked about “Screwing the (Dating) Rules: The No-Games Guide to Finding True Love.” She talked about the importance of identifying your core values and one of my favorite topics: getting rid of the checklist. You know “the checklist” – that insurmountable list of criteria that only a perfectly programmed robot could meet? Yeah, that one!
- On Tuesday, Rhonda Britten started the day off with her powerful message of “Fearless Living.” She brought a whole new perspective to the way we approach fear. Rather than fear being something we feel badly for experiencing, we can now have a more compassionate view of fear and the role it plays in protecting us. And once you see fear for what it is, you can work with it!
- Dr. Dar shared how “You Absolutely Can Find and Create a Happy Relationship!” She walked us through what we can do when we feel “triggered,” and how we can choose how we respond to that feeling. She also shared about how we get to choose between “heart” and “ache”! It was brilliant!
- On Wednesday, Allana Pratt started off by talking about “Trusting Your Vulnerability.” In our conversation, she shared how having the courage to look at the choices we’ve made and with love and compassion brings forth unconditional love and allowance, which makes us magnetic to those we are loving and allowing to love us.
- Ellen Smoak shared “The Secrets to Beating a Broken Heart BEFORE it Beats You!” One of my favorite parts of the interview was when she talked about not trying to “fall out of love,” but “repurposing” that love onto yourself!
- On Thursday, Susan Lazar Hart shared how to “Reclaim Your Life, Reclaim Your Self” and talked to us about the power of “Living in the question.” She gave us a list of questions to ask ourselves so that we can move past the blocks stopping us from allowing love into our lives.
- Kara Oh shared about “The Healing Power of Self-Love.” She talked about how going through a heartache and not learning the lessons is a waste. She also talked about how, in order to change our behaviors, we can’t simply toss them out. Instead we need to replace them with new ones. She also gave us a great exercise we can use to move past pain and see the blessings in the heartache.
- On Friday, Hemal Radia talked about “Manifesting a New Relationship After Heartache.” He also talked about how to maintain and renew love in an existing relationship. One of my favorite quotes was when he said that whatever you are feeling does not have to do with the other person. It has to do with the feelings you have about yourself. Powerful!
- And Rachel DeAlto talked to us about how to “Get Your Flirt On: How to Meet Him and Keep Him,” giving us the 5 Steps to Flirting. And I love that we talked about how continuing to flirt, even once you’re married, sends the message that “Even if we weren’t in a committed relationship, I’d still date you!” How awesome is that?
And we have even more incredible interviews coming up next week, when we’ll have Dr. Ray Doktor, James Allen Hanrahan, Innessa Freylekhman, and It’s All About Women’s “Queen Esther” Brandon sharing more information on how to break through the fears, pain and emotional and physical “clutter” that are stopping you from experiencing the life and love your heart desires and that you deserve!
If you missed the interviews featured during Weeks 1 or 2, there is no need to worry! There will be a “Replay Day” on Sunday, May 19th where you’ll have an all-access pass to all previously-aired interviews! If you’d really prefer to not have to wait to listen to recordings until they air, or having to listen to them within 72 hours, after signing up you can upgrade your subscription to VIP Membership, where you’ll receive MP3 recordings of all of the interviews and links to all of the free gifts!

This was Week 1 of the From Heartache to Your Heart’s Desires Telesummit. It has been a week filled with details: emails, interviews, technology issues. And it has been a week filled with miracles, too! Being able to connect with people all over the world (over 1500, so far) and share a message of love, healing, hope, and the promise of new beginnings has been – while at times overwhelming – a beautiful journey!
Heartache is not the most “fun” topic to discuss. When a relationship ends, due to a breakup, divorce, or death, or when it begins to unravel, the pain is real. As the experts who have been sharing on the telesummit have said, there are real physical effects to the heart, nervous system, and other parts of our bodies; there are emotional effects in the form of anger, sadness, confusion, and disappointment; as well as the grieving of the hopes and dreams we had envisions for ourselves. There’s no doubt about it: The pain of heartache is real.
What’s optional, however, is suffering.
It would be strange and unnatural to invest your time, attention, and love and then not feel anything when it’s over. But suffering is a choice. You can either choose to stay in the grief, the anger, the resentment, or you can choose to acknowledge it, allow yourself to feel it, and then let it go. You can choose to close off your heart – shutting out any possibility of giving and receiving love – or you can choose to step beyond what feels safe and allow love to flow to and through you.
But how do you begin to let go of the suffering so that you can begin to live and love again?
Well, if you’ve been participating in the telesummit, you’ve heard different experts share a variety of ways to begin moving beyond the fear and pain and moving toward a new future filled with the possibility of love!
- Julie-Anne Shapiro shared how to bring love and forgiveness to your inner child and about making a Soul Commitment to having the love your heart desires.
- Julie Ferman spoke of being present and approaching dating and love as a journey.
- Stephan Gonnick walked us through exercises to move through the three universal blocks that keep us from experiencing love.
- Marni Battista explained how we can avoid the #1 relationship killer: the need to be right.
- Jennifer Grace shared some daily practices that will help us begin to heal and discover the love that’s already inside of us.
- Laura Doyle talked about how to avoid the four major mistakes women make when it comes to creating a loving relationship.
- Marcy Neumann shared how it’s in letting go that we can let love in.
- Charles J. Orlando explained how we can kill the endless cycle of unfulfilling relationships.
- And, today, Jennifer Hadley shares how we can “unbreak” our hearts; and
- Debi Berndt and Dr. Roberto Maldonado share how to create “conscious chemistry,” rather than falling into the trap of unconscious “default” relationship patterns.
And this is just in the first 5 days of the telesummit! We still have another 8 days to go!
Here’s what some participants are saying:
What an incredible interview with Julie-Anne Shapiro! I loved the part where she encouraged us to visualize our inner child and “provide her with what her heart desires”! That was a huge AHA for me! I was actually able to see the inner child in me…now I think I have an idea of what she desires. 🙂 Thank you again you Gladys Diaz for the incredible messages during the telesummit! I am so excited!!! ~ D
Thank you so much for putting this program together. It’s been wonderful so far. I am sure the rest will be fabulous, too.
Thanks to all of your guests and especially to Laura Doyle for her great generosity in giving this huge gift to this sweet community. ~ M
Thanks so much for putting all of these tele-interviews together, keep up the good work.
I just felt I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the talk with Marcy Neumann – wow! Everything she said just echoed so deeply within me, it all made so much sense, I kept taking notes and re-listening to some of the parts. She has so much wisdom to share.
Thank you again.
It was lovely today, and it will help me to take one step at a time to figure out where my GPS is going to lead me, but I must identify that myself too. ~ L in Austria
I am trying to get the whole world to join in. It’s amazing! ~ Y
If you missed part of Week 1, there is no need to worry! There will be a “Replay Day” on Sunday, May 13th where you’ll be able to listen to all of the available interviews – even the ones that have expired! If you’d really prefer to not have to wait to listen to recordings until they air, or having to listen to them within 72 hours, after signing up you can upgrade your subscription to VIP Membership, where you’ll receive MP3 recordings of all of the interviews and links to all of the free gifts!

Life is a Matter of Choice
by Gladys Diaz
I’m so excited to share some
great news with you!!! Today, May 3rd, 2013, I am the featured Inspirational Luminary on
InspireMeToday.com, sharing my message with the world! This FREE website is one to bookmark!
Here’s a little excerpt of the Inspiration I shared… A message from my heart to yours:
If I could share 500 words to inspire, this is the important wisdom I’d want to pass along to others…
Life is a matter of choice. Every single moment we live presents us with an opportunity to choose.
For a large part of my life, I didn’t see life as a choice. Instead, I saw life as something that was happening to me. I felt like a victim, and I had evidence to support it! My father died when I was three. My mother left me and my sisters when I was fifteen. My first husband died in my arms when I was twenty-seven. To me, it seemed that everyone I loved left me – either by death or by choice.
One day, someone asked me what my biggest fear was, and I responded that what most terrified me was the thought of losing either my kids or my husband because I could not imagine having to experience that type of pain again. Her response?
“You’ll survive it. How do I know? Because you already have. Now, you can either choose to live your life fearing that the people you love are going to die, or you can live your life loving them.”
In that moment, I saw myself as stronger than I’d known myself to be. I had survived my greatest fear, experienced the greatest loss and pain of my life and it didn’t kill me. It didn’t stop me from falling in love again! I really got the power of choice and began choosing to live my life in love![…]

One of the first questions I ask a woman who I’m speaking to for the first time is, “What do you want?”
Typically, if the woman is single, she’ll respond that she wants to be in a relationship.
If she’s already in a relationship or married, she’ll say she wants to have a good relationship with her boyfriend or husband.
Sounds pretty clear, right? Wrong!
Saying that you want to be in a relationship is to general, too broad. Do you want to be in just any relationship? For example, do you want to be in a relationship where you’re always wondering whether or not he really loves you, whether you can trust him, and whether the relationship is going anywhere permanent? Or do you want to be in a relationship where you know every moment of every day that the man you love loves, cherishes, and wants to be with you and only you?
Even saying that you want to have a good relationship isn’t clear enough, either. What does “good” mean, for you? Does it mean simply not fighting? I’ve worked with women who live in a “peaceful” household, simply because she and her husband rarely look at or speak to one another. Plus, why settle for “good,” when you can have “amazing,” “unbelievable,” and “extraordinary” love?
When you think about what you want when it comes to relationships, you need to be crystal-clear. Now, this doesn’t mean that you create a 100-point check system, where the man you’re with has to meet all of the listed criteria. In fact, this has nothing to do with the man! It has to do with what you want to experience in a relationship.
So, how do you get crystal-clear about the experience you want to have in the relationship?
1. Admit you want to be in a loving relationship. This one’s for the single ladies and those who are in a relationship that’s not quite where you’d like it to be right now. Too many women claim that they are “fine” without being in a loving relationship. And they probably are. But, if you’re like me, I want more than just a “fine” life. I want an amazing, extraordinary life that includes the experience of loving and being loved by someone every day of it! Admitting that you want to be loved does not make you weak or any less capable or powerful. It just makes you human! So, go ahead! Admit that you want to be loved, desired, and adored!
2. Create a vision of the experience you want to have in the relationship. It isn’t enough to use words like, “good,” “happy,” or “fun.” What does good, happy, and fun look like, sound like, and feel like? How do you feel when you’re together? What is the visible evidence of your happiness, excitement, and connection? Have fun with this! It’s your vision, your dream, your love story! Go as big and as bold as you want! The great news is that it’s completely yours to create and manifest, so make sure you’re inspired by your vision!
3. Share your vision with others. The relationship of your dreams shouldn’t be the world’s best-kept secret! If you want to begin living that experience you’ve created, tell people about it. Choose 2-3 people who you trust and who will pull for and stand for you to have that. People who love you want to see you happy. Let them know about the happiness you want to experience in a romantic relationship.
This is just the beginning of the type of work we do with our clients. There’s a much deeper process that includes removing the fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs that are standing in the way of you actually believing that this kind of relationship is possible and that it’s possible for you!
If you’re single, and you live in the S. Florida area, then you’re in luck, because we’ll be going deep into this exercise tomorrow, Saturday, April 6th, at the “Attract & Marry the Man Who’s Right for You” 1-Day Workshop. We’ll be removing all of the invisible barriers standing between you and the love you want to experience every day for the rest of your life! We’ll be replacing those fears with empowering beliefs, affirmations, real-life practices, and new and empowering habits that will take you from where you are to the relationship of your dreams!
For more information about the workshop and to register (there are still a few seats left), just click here NOW.
Girlfriends, and wives, don’t worry! Your workshop is coming soon! Make sure to subscribe to receive our newsletter so that you don’t miss out on the workshop that will take your existing relationship from where it is to a whole new level of amazing!
Bottom line: You deserve to experience the love your heart desires, but you’ve got to be crystal-clear about what that is. So, admit you want it, envision it, share it, and soon you’ll be living it!
Here’s to a future filled with breath-taking, amazing and extraordinary love!

For years, I put everything and everyone else’s needs ahead of my own. A part of me felt proud when I would go to work, burning up in fever, sacrifice what I wanted so that someone else could have what they wanted, and rarely ever said what I wanted, so as not to seem selfish.
Some people might describe this as being “loving,” and, to a certain extent, they are probably right. I was being very loving and generous with everyone… except myself. Then I started realizing that, in order to be able to give love, I was going to have to begin with me. I could not continue running on fumes and expecting to be the type of wife, mother, and woman I strive to be.
So I began practicing self-care… and lots of it. I began doing the things that I’d stopped doing somewhere along the line – those things that made me happy and brought me peace of mind, body, and spirit. I began reading – not for work, but for the fun of it. I began knitting and making jewelry because I love arts and crafts. I began taking courses that interested me and helped me grow spiritually and personally. I began taking bubble baths, slathering myself in lotion, and getting pedicures. And most of all, I began feeling like me again!
Now, before I give you the impression that I live a life of total leisure, I’ll let you know that I own my own business, do freelance work on top of that on the side, have two very active little boys, and do my own cooking and cleaning. I’ve just learned that I have to make myself a priority if I’m going to be able to have the patience it takes to create the kind of home, marriage, family, and career that I want!
So, how do I manage to get it all in? I plan for it! Here’s how you can, too!
1. Make a list of the things that make your heart sing.
- Include the things you used to do before you “grew up.” Did you like dancing? Did you play a sport? Did you enjoy drawing, singing, or another form of creative expression?
- Include things you like to do alone and the things you enjoy doing with your friends and family.
- Include things that make you feel soft, feminine, refreshed, and recharged, like massages, facials, lotions, doing your nails, etc.
Don’t worry about how “practical, realistic, or affordable it is for you to do this right now. Just have fun making the list!
2. Schedule time to take care of you. We are all super busy. If we begin trying to fit self-care in, I guarantee you it will be one of the first things to fall off of our very full plates. So, schedule your self-care time. You don’t have to set aside hours. Sometimes just 10 minutes of doing something you enjoy is enough to make you feel like yourself again!
3. Begin to notice the changes in you and around you. When you begin putting yourself first, you will start noticing how other people respond to you differently? Why? Because, when you’re not a stressed out, frazzled mess, you appear more peaceful, happy, and attractive. You also send a message that you care about and hold yourself in high esteem. So, don’t be surprised if you begin getting more compliments and if others, including your partner, begin helping you find ways to make sure you get your self-care in!
Taking care of ourselves is a way of loving ourselves. And there are so many different ways we can bring love to ourselves every day! For more ideas and to begin a 30-day journey to discovering self-love, read our book, 30 Days and 30 Ways to Fall In Love with YOU! In it you will find over 30 ways to love yourself and attract more love into your life! After all, the most meaningful and lasting relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself!
