Suffering comes from resisting pain, refusing to accept it, thinking it will go away,  But that just makes it worse and leaves you completely unprepared and weak, You'll lose all your defenses and will further crumble when life refuses to obey, But if you can learn to accept the crashing waves, you'll find the strength you seek.   [full text below]   Ep. 419 - Happy Acceptance We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Acceptance isn't the same as giving up,  Just ‘cause life has pain doesn't mean you quit, Use that pain to temper your steel,  Toughen you up and let you heal,  ‘Cause acceptance isn't the same as giving up. Ever feel drained, bruised, battered, mistreated, abused and taken advantage of? Well, you're not alone, but you survived it, and perhaps you're surviving it still, And you don't know why life is being so mean when all you ever wanted was love, So, you fight ‘cause you think to win you need to be the one with the strongest will. But if you see everything as a conflict, then every interaction becomes a war, Every setback is a battle cry, every mishap a landmine, and everyone a foe, But if you can accept that we're all just trying to survive lives we never signed up for, Then acceptance becomes an act of strength--don't give up, just go with the flow. Suffering comes from resisting pain, refusing to accept it, thinking it will go away,  But that just makes it worse and leaves you completely unprepared and weak, You'll lose all your defenses and will further crumble when life refuses to obey, But if you can learn to accept the crashing waves, you'll find the strength you seek. Because Acceptance isn't the same as giving up,  Just ‘cause life has pain doesn't mean you quit, Use that pain to temper your steel,  Toughen you up and let you heal,  ‘Cause acceptance isn't the same as giving up. I don't know why I just turned into a country singer, I confess, But it's just another thing you gotta learn to accept, I guess. Haha Yowza

What happens when the world moves on, but your grief hasn't? In this episode of Journey to Grateful, I reflect on the silence that often follows loss—when friends and family return to their normal routines, while you're left navigating a reality that will never be the same.Now, more than five years after my wife Colleen's passing, I share how grief continues to show up in unexpected ways, including during a recent milestone moment: moving my son to college. While many see such moments as purely joyful, they can also reopen the wound of absence, reminding us of the chapters we were meant to share with those we've lost.This conversation explores the ache of feeling left behind, the weight of disenfranchised grief, and why grief can still feel raw years later. I also offer ways to stay grounded when the support fades—through speaking their name, finding new circles of understanding, and creating small rituals to keep love present.If you've ever felt like your grief is “too much” or wondered why it still hurts long after others think it should have eased, this episode is a reminder: grief has no timeline, and neither does love.

I'm sharing a story I've never told before—my most humiliating career moment. Painful then, but it became the turning point for everything.

Grateful to catch up with an old fried, Carl Skildum.  Skjolden is the first solo project from Carl Skildum of Inexorum, Majesties, and Antiverse.Located in Minneapolis and entirely self-directed, Skjolden exists in the thrilling intersection of melodic black and death metal, with layered guitars and synth-laden crescendos.On this episode, we focus on “While Dying”, one of the standout tracks from Insouciant Metaphysical Grandeur (released June 20, 2025). Clocking in at 3:58, the song conjures fiery riffs, ethereal keys, and growled verses.We'll unpack the lyrical weight and musical architecture of “While Dying”, talk about how synths color the black metal storm, and explore how Skildum marries existential dread with cathartic melody. If you're fascinated by underground metal crafted with wit, grit, and atmospheric depth—this episode is your cathedral of sound.

Before she turned eight, Cerys had already faced two diagnoses, only one of which she truly understood. While being diagnosed with celiac disease as a child, unusually high CK levels in her blood pointed to a deeper issue: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9). In this episode of On Rare, David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Senior Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio Gene Therapy, speak with Cerys, a 23-year-old living in Wales, about living with LGMD2I/R9. She shares how she's navigated symptom progression, adapted to using mobility aids, and discovered the power of telling her story through her podcast, Unbalanced. When Cerys was first diagnosed with LGMD2I/R9 at age seven 7 years old, she didn't fully understand the diagnosis. Her parents carried the emotional weight, trying to protect her from fear of what was ahead. It wasn't until her muscle weakness became impossible to ignore, at 12 years old, that the condition began to define her daily life. From navigating stairs and driving to embracing a wheelchair, Cerys has had to adapt physically, emotionally, and socially, all while managing her energy levels so that she can continue to do the activities she loves. She finds strength in the LGMD community and hope in research, representation, and connection. In 2023, she launched Unbalanced to amplify stories like hers because growing up, she didn't see anyone with a disability who looked like her. Now, she's determined to be that voice for others. Dr. Anna Talaga, Director of Medical Affairs at ML Bio Solutions (a BridgeBio affiliate), provides a medical overview of LGMD. LGMDs are a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive muscle weakness and wasting, particularly in the shoulders, hips, and thighs. In some people, the heart and respiratory muscles may be impacted. Unlike many genetic conditions that are caused by a mutation in a single gene, LGMD can result from mutations in many different genes because they all affect the same protein complex that supports and stabilizes muscle fibers. LGMD type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9), specifically, is caused by mutations in the FKRP gene, which is critical for maintaining muscle fiber integrity. Diagnosis typically begins with symptoms like difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing from a seated position, and is confirmed through genetic testing. LGMD2I/R9 is a progressive disease and there are currently no approved treatments that slow or stop its progression.

Are you spending your life running away from pain, problems, and fear—or are you running toward something brighter? The difference matters. When we fixate on what we don't want, we often create more of it. But when we set our sights on a positive goal and a compelling vision of the future, we unlock the energy and focus to make it real. In this episode, we explore the mindset shift from avoidance to aspiration. You'll discover how “where attention goes, energy flows and results show,” why gratitude is the foundation of a happy and successful life, and how daily visualization practices can help you design and attract the future you truly want. It's time to stop running away—and start running toward.

Happy Discomfort is realizing it's okay to feel a little uneasy if it helps overall,  Like how you “feel the burn” when you exercise and know you're getting stronger, Discomfort can lead to making changes for the better, and the steps can be small, Don't avoid your emotions, practice and tame them, and they'll be wild no longer. [full text below] Ep. 418 - Happy Discomfort We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! It's the natural tendency for most people, I think, to avoid discomfort--I'm the same way, Like, if I have a memory that bothers me, or a topic that triggers me, then I want to run, I want to avoid such things, deny them, and bury them, so I can get on with my day, But the whole sweeping-things-under-the-rug method of mental health helps no one. It's a great way to make sure those issues fester and become toxic, ready to explode, When you could, instead, chip away at their power until they can be controlled, Working to, if not stopping their effects, making them something that can be slowed, And from there being able to even raise your tolerance, you're discomfort threshold. Happy Discomfort is realizing that it's okay to feel a little discomfort if it helps overall,  Like when you “feel the burn” when you exercise, then you know you're getting stronger, Discomfort can lead to making a change to something better, and the steps can be small, Like how I used to be afraid of my own emotions, they were too wild, but not any longer. As I teen I was violent, destructive, loud, reckless, prone to injury and getting in trouble, I hated being sad and lonely and told what to do and put down and I'd fight you about it, And as a result I alienated people, tearing down relationships until they were rubble, Never dealing with my emotions or facing my role in anything, and still refusing to quit. It took me losing my fiancee, totalling my car, going into debt, and getting in trouble at work Before I finally decided I should maybe try a different approach before I dug my own grave, And that was this podcast, reminders to myself to stop fighting every little thing like a jerk, And to learn how to use my emotions, and not to let discomfort keep me from being brave. Listening to these episodes can help you build up your mindfulness and gratitude,  It can remind you to seek balance and growth, to become familiar with your feelings, And no, you don't have to turn soft--if anything the idea is to strengthen your attitude,  To gain control and empower yourself to handle all your present and future dealings. Haha Yowza

Contact Welcomed HereThe contagion of mentally obsessive thinking is not carried by bacteria or viruses but toxic silence when thoughtful but not always welcome words could help, or by speaking up with words that reinforce the sick thoughtlessness of this induced mental state. The imposition of this addiction is not a state of Mind but of a brain that has been mis-used and abused by imagining it is the creator of reality and truth and our self. It is not and we are not who we think we are. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and Order of our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.

The Devil's Recognition of Jesus The message focuses on what can be learned from the devil in Luke 4:31-37. The devil knew more about God than many people do today. James 2:19 - devils believe and tremble. The devil's purpose is to destroy people, but he works in different ways today. He convinces people that religion is all there is to it. He blinds people to God, even if they think they know how to get to Him. Going to Church The man possessed with the unclean devil went to church (synagogue). He had been there many times before. He found peace in religion but never met Jesus. There was a form of godliness, but denied the power thereof. The hope is that unclean spirits would be uncomfortable in the church. They would see Jesus in the hearts of the people. Responding to Jesus People have grown quiet on God. The Lamb of God is worthy of praise. It's important to be in a place where the Holy Ghost can move. In the synagogue, the only one crying out was an unclean devil. He acknowledged the glory and lordship of Jesus Christ. When Jesus moves in the midst, people should respond. Many churches are controlled by the enemy. People hunt for comfortable places where Jesus isn't present. Worship must be from the heart. When Jesus shows up, people often sit there without responding. They link their experience to how someone else gets blessed. Need to pay attention to the devil, who cried with a loud voice and acknowledged Jesus. It's a problem when a devil responds better to Christ than His own people do. The man possessed with the devil was convinced that showing up at the synagogue and listening to the Old Testament reading was enough. Worship is about opening one's heart and acknowledging the reality of a king. He has written our name in the book and given us eternal promise in heaven. The Holy Ghost abides within us. When the Spirit of God begins to move, there ought to be a response. Grateful for God's faithfulness. Do your best to praise and honor Him. Acknowledge the King of Glory when He shows up. Jesus is in the midst of this place. When people of a glad heart and a humble spirit come before Him, He'll show up. The unclean devil went to church, but when Jesus showed up, he responded with a loud voice. Some people in the church used to shout and run up and down the aisles. They were responding to Jesus. Don't be ashamed to honor God's name when the power of God shows up. You can't worship God in the flesh. Pray, and God will give you what you pray for. Get hooked up with the Holy Ghost. When Jesus came in the room, the devil got nervous and cried out with a loud voice. He said, "Let us alone. What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?" The devil knew Jesus' voice. He had likely been cast out with Lucifer. He was one of the demonic angels and had possessed this man. There ought to be some kind of response for Jesus. If it didn't come from the heart, keep your mouth shut. The real thing ought to produce some kind of movement in our soul. He's a living spirit, not a dead one. He is alive and well today and lives in our hearts. Fear of Jesus When Jesus is present, there ought to be some fear. The devil had his own reason for fear. Like the devils in old legion, they knew who Jesus was and feared Him. They asked if He had come to cast them into the abyss before their time. The heart of the problem in most churches is the lack of worship and response to Christ's presence. People sit back and let others do the hand raising and the amen. If you've been born again, you've got something to shout about. If you ain't going to hell, you ought to be happy. The devil knew that Christ had the power to cast him into the place that had been prepa...

It's Friday, August 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus California school district prohibits prayer before board meeting A California school district is fighting a legal battle to defend opening prayer, arguing it's perfectly permissible to open meetings by invoking God, reports Faithwire.com. Joel Oster, an attorney for Advocates For Faith & Freedom, told CBN News that Chino Valley Unified School District has taken decisive legal action to challenge what it believes to be an outdated injunction from the Ninth Circuit Court preventing the school board from opening with prayer. The Christian legal rights attorney explained himself. OSTER: “It's not a violation of the First Amendment. It's not an unconstitutional establishment of religion to just simply allow a deliberative body to open up its sessions with prayer.” Remember the truth of Ephesians 6:12. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser flips: Grateful Trump lowered crime After previously criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has since changed her stance, praising the federal operation for the reduction in homicides, carjackings, and gun crimes, reports One America News. On Wednesday, Bowser gave an update on the result of the federal takeover, revealing that violent crime is down by 45% since the operation began in comparison to crime statistics within the same period last year. The nation's capital has seen a 38% decrease in homicides, an 87% decrease in carjackings, and a 62% decrease in robberies. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Thursday that there have been 1,283 arrests and the seizure of 135 illegal guns as a result of the operation. In order to help drop the homicide rate even further, President Trump made this announcement. TRUMP: “If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we're going to be seeking the death penalty. And that's a very strong preventative we have no choice in DC and Washington.  States are going to have to make their own decision. But if somebody kills somebody, it's the death penalty.” Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image." Trump fired CDC Director On Thursday, the White House said President Donald Trump has fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign, reports CNBC. Hours later, NBC News reported the White House had tapped Jim O'Neill, deputy secretary of the Health and Human Services department, to serve as acting director of the CDC. O'Neill was sworn in as deputy secretary in June, and is a key aide to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The temporary appointment suggests that Kennedy could have a clearer path to make changes to U.S. immunization policy, particularly after Monarez had refused some of his requests. The permanent replacement for Monarez will have to be confirmed, though, by the Senate. Homosexual CDC official, who called pregnant women pregnant “people,” resigned Plus, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a homosexual man married to his alleged husband, Michael Macneal, resigned at the CDC in part because he had been upset by Kennedy's decision to remove COVID-19 vaccines from immunization schedules for healthy children and pregnant women, reports The Epoch Times. And, like many on the left, Daskalakis insisted on calling pregnant women “pregnant people.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made this comment. LEAVITT:  “I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned after the firing of Ms. Monarez. One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women as ‘pregnant people.' So, that's not someone who we want in this administration anyway. So, if people are not aligned with the President's vision and the Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again, then we will gladly show them the door.” Kirk Cameron warns America about Taylor Swift Christian actor Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift's cultural influence, reports The Christian Post. CAMERON: “This billionaire pop star in heels is crowned ‘the voice of a generation.' What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? “You get the most powerful sermon that America's youth will hear this year. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship!” Cracker Barrel has funded sexually perverse lifestyles for a decade Despite the fact that Cracker Barrel has been shamed into keeping its own nostalgic logo, the controversy extends beyond the logo and remodels.  According to Fox Business, the rebranding saga began on May 16, 2024, when Julie Masino, the new president as of 2023, unveiled a “strategic transformation plan” to investors, emphasizing “refining” and “evolving the brand across all touchpoints.” Investor Sardar Biglari, a prominent shareholder, issued four warnings, including a 120-page slide deck and a seven-page letter to shareholders, labeling the rebrand “obvious folly” and warning of “shareholder value destruction.” He argued, “Cracker Barrel is not in dire need of a transformation; it's in dire need of a turnaround,” and criticized the board as “flawed” and “responsible for the current malaise.” Despite these warnings, Masino and the board pressed forward with a $700 million remodel at Cracker Barrel, ignoring Biglari's concerns and dismissing him as an “activist investor” with an “ultimate agenda.” However, from a Christian standpoint, the most objectionable aspect of Cracker Barrel is its apparent longstanding push of sexual perversion. Listen to what conservative activist Robby Starbuck said at the beginning of a 15-minute statement. STARBUCK: “We investigated Cracker Barrel, and what I'm about to show you is a company infested with left-wing activists who are more interested in safe spaces, pronouns, and virtue signaling than they are in their customers. “I think the best way to start is by telling you what you've been funding if you've gone to Cracker Barrel in recent years. So, let's start with Nashville [homosexual] Pride. Yes, Cracker Barrel is a proud sponsor of Nashville Pride, and had been part of it for over a decade, along with participating for multiple years in Evansville, Indiana's third River City Pride event. “They even made LGBTQ+ rocking chairs for these pride events. The same pride rocking chair that they put front and center in their Tennessee corporate office and at their 2019 managers conference for the Cracker Barrel managers. “And for a food service company, you might be thinking their focus should be good food and good service, but their own website says, ‘This year, Cracker Barrel's focus was to be a part of the [Homosexual/Transgender] Pride experience.' And they're very proud of their pro-trans rocking chairs. Let me tell you, they call it, ‘Bringing the front porch to Pride.' And if you think that's out of alignment with their customers, well, you're right!” Cracker Barrel leadership is recognizing the truth of Galatians 6:8. It says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Song Description: A Treasure of Sweet SoundsThis song, recorded when my son was only seven, is a precious gem from a collection of recordings capturing the vibrant spirit of my children at every stage of their lives. Sung with the pure, unfiltered joy of childhood, its sweet sounds—woven with playful gibberish syllables in a musical pattern—resonate with innocence and boundless creativity. Preserved over decades, from analogue tapes to digital archives, these recordings are treasures of my soul, each note a testament to the love and wonder of their upbringing.As my son celebrates his 20th birthday on September 1, 2025, I revisit this recording, and it brings tears of joy and a pang of astonishment. His voice, brimming with the promise of endless possibilities, recalls a childhood filled with imagination. Yet, it also carries a bittersweet weight as I reflect on how the world—our chaotic lives, their schooling, and environments—may not have always provided the support they deserved.

We talk about what we're grateful for, what years were the most fun, what aspects of Coram Deo turned out differently than we expected, and why the "institutional" aspect of a church is crucial to city renewal.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: David's Reign(2:19) What We're Grateful For(10:42) The Church As Institution(14:16) What We're Surprised By(19:15) What Was the Most Fun(24:38) Listener Take-Aways

NaaahhhMan & Greedy Gehazi 2 Kings 5 Chew the Bible Season 3Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was a powerful and respected man, but he suffered from leprosy. A young Israelite servant girl told Naaman's wife that the prophet Elisha in Israel could heal him. Naaman went to Israel with a letter from his king and gifts, but the king of Israel panicked, thinking it was a trick. Elisha then invited Naaman to come to him.When Naaman arrived, Elisha did not meet him in person but sent a messenger telling him to wash seven times in the Jordan River. Naaman was offended at first, expecting a dramatic miracle, but his servants persuaded him to obey. After dipping seven times, he was completely healed, and his skin became like that of a child. Grateful, Naaman returned to Elisha, confessed that the God of Israel was the only true God, and offered gifts, which Elisha refused.However, Elisha's servant Gehazi, driven by greed, secretly went after Naaman and lied to obtain some of the silver and clothing. When Gehazi returned, Elisha confronted him, knowing what he had done, and declared that Naaman's leprosy would cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever. Gehazi immediately left Elisha's presence covered in leprosy.

We can get stuck into habits, our movements get restricted, Our quick fixes become crutches, making us addicted. When really it's connection we need, not escape, not solitude, But people to relate to, mind to mind and mood to mood.   [full text below]   Ep. 417 - Happy Tools We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Don't fight your moods, they aren't monstrous ghouls, They aren't traps or weapons either, they're just tools. Moods are your instruments, your dials, and your gauges,  Helping you navigate all your mortal human stages. We can get stuck into habits, our movements get restricted, Our quick fixes become crutches, making us addicted. When really it's connection we need, not escape, not solitude, But people to relate to, mind to mind and mood to mood. We're social creatures, and so we long for meaningful relationships with others, That's why we form groups and clubs, treating our friends like sisters and brothers. And when those connections fail, it can feel like a terrible and tragic loss, Making us want to dull any and all pain we happen to come across. And for a moment we feel better, because we released some of the pressure,  But then it comes right back all the stronger with a pain that only gets fresher, And then we use that same crutch again, that last resort fix that becomes a vice, But we need more each time just to feel less than normal and not even halfway nice. It makes you not want to be alone with your thoughts, because thinking turns to worry, But that's because you avoid your own moods, always trying to shut them off in a hurry, If instead you would change your approach, and stop thinking of them as things to avoid, You'd see that for living a fuller life, they are the best tools that could ever be employed. Happy Tools are those that make our lives easier to handle, not harder or more demanding,  Moods let us cope with hardships freeing up our horizons to be ever expanding, They're meant to be tested, honed, practiced and drilled, skills to be improved upon, Not things to be shunned, resented, silenced, hidden, disregarded or wished to be gone. Laugh, cry, scream, frown, smile, just a little bit every day, If you fight or suppress your moods, then their power will decay, But if you get familiar with them, little by little, and bit by bit,  Then you'll have greater control, and life will be a better fit. Haha Yowza    

✨ I recently turned 50! ✨ This milestone gave me the chance to slow down, reflect, and celebrate in a really intentional way — with my family, at one of my happy places, and on a special getaway with Karen. In my latest Inside Out Leadership podcast episode, I share the thought process leading up to this milestone, how I celebrated, and the biggest lessons I've learned along the way. No matter your age, I believe these reflections will inspire your own journey. Grateful for the past 50, and excited for what's ahead!

Have you ever wrestled with the tension of female friendships? One day it feels like a refuge, the next like a rivalry. Too often, even in the Church, women can struggle to truly trust—or even like—other women. That’s why I was so excited to sit down with bestselling author Natalie Runion to talk about her new book, I Don’t Even Like Women. In it, Natalie flips the script on the narratives that keep us divided and reminds us that God designed friendships with other women to be life-giving, healing, and deeply purposeful. In our conversation, Natalie shares how: We can dismantle the lies that distance us from one another. Past trauma doesn’t disqualify us from finding safe, meaningful friendships. Humor and honesty can free us from comparison, fear, and insecurity. Healthy female friendships equip us to live boldly into our God-given callings. This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered: Are women my competition or my collaborators? My rivals or my refuge? I promise you’ll walk away with hope, encouragement, and practical tools for building friendships that last. Grateful to be on this journey of love and friendship with you, Rachael Read the Show Notes: Writing - Rachael K.

Episode #166: Growing up, the world was my playground, thanks to my upbringing as a military brat. With my delightful guest, LaKendra, we share the joys of a life less ordinary, moving from the warm Southern charm of Georgia to the vibrant culture of Japan. Her story is one of bold colors—literally and metaphorically—as we bond over eclectic fashion choices and the timeless romance of her parents. Join us for a spirited chat about life's colorful tapestry, where laughter, personal tales, and embracing boldness are stitched together in perfect harmony. Navigating friendships in Hollywood can often feel like a quest for unicorns, but we've discovered that genuine female friendships are as real as they are rare. We open up about the magic of forming deep connections amidst the glitz and sometimes isolating nature of Los Angeles. Through past relationships, comfort zones, and the ever-relatable tale of post-pandemic shrinking clothes, we celebrate the power of self-love and the unconditional support of partners who stand by us through thick and thin. Modern dating is a rollercoaster, and we're here for every twist and turn, from using Chat GPT as a dating coach to manifesting love with humor and heart. We dive into fatherly influences, our dream partners, and the sometimes quirky phases of intimacy. Whether it's the hilarity of ghosting, the hopeful anticipation of a new text, or juggling career aspirations with personal growth, this episode is a testament to resilience, gratitude, and the joy of finding your tribe. Tune in for a celebration of love, friendship, and the ever-rolling journey of life.
