Green Tea Conversations
We are given the gift of intuition on how to care for ourselves and our families, but too often we forsake that knowledge for the voice of authority. Out of fear and under stress, we listen silently as conventional experts provide their advice, while reluctantly shutting down our own instincts that are telling us there may be another way. Green Tea Conversations (Sundays 10 AM on AM950) is for people who are on a journey to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing. Your host, Candi Broeffle, publisher of Natural Awakenings Twin Cities magazine, brings you highly qualified professionals who share the latest natural approaches in nutrition, fitness, creative expression, personal growth, and sustainable living in a fun and informative way. Grab a cup of tea and join the conversation, as we awaken to natural health. Visit GreenTeaConversations.com for more information.
