Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a reminder that the only thing permanent… is change. From old-school CB radios and late-night talk shows to UFOs and overnight true crime, we talk nostalgic, what's been lost, and what might still be worth reclaiming. We talk gratitude, real, daily, life-shifting gratitude. We break down The Magic, a 28-day progrum that helps you transform one thank-you at a time. We talk the power of acknowledging what's good—even when it's hidden in a speeding ticket, a utility bill, or a past hurt. Because when you shift your lens, the blessings start showing up. We talk stepping into full power—mentally, spiritually, and yes, even physically (200 tons of stone, anyone?). And how the energy you put out becomes the invitation for what's next. This week, the takeaway is simple: nothing lasts forever—so why not choose gratitude in the now? Here's to a grounded, grateful week, Heal Squad! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

It's Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF LITE. We talk all things spilled wine, faded spotlights, and a reminder that even in Hollywood, the real story's happening just off-camera. We're talking accidental run-ins with TV legends, spiritual redirections in Hollywood living rooms, and what happens when you get pulled into the circle—literally. We talk the myth of perfection and why being multifaceted isn't a flaw, it's the design. There's the helper, the hider, the guy with the SAG voucher and the shame spiral, and yes—even the one who just wanted to help clean up the mess. It's about identity, visibility, and the slow courage it takes to admit you're still learning how to be seen. We talk the fall of the old gods—how the elite cling to relevance while the rest of us are learning to find power in authenticity. We talk all things family dynamics, imposter syndrome, and the quiet kind of success that looks like staying grateful even when you're sitting in the shadows. RGF Bonus: Mrs. Brady as spiritual first responder, Mark Wahlberg shoulder squeezes, couch drama that wasn't from Living Spaces  , and confirmation that yes—Jack Lord probably had real hair. Happy Friday. Bye Betches. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, and this one is packed with real talk about what it actually takes to maintain strength, build muscle, and feel your best in midlife and beyond. Denise gets candid about her journey from emotional eating and burnout to becoming a bodybuilding competitor—and what it felt like after she stepped off the stage. She opens up about learning that your leanest body isn't always your happiest body, how to find your “healthy weight,” and why building a sustainable, strong life matters more than hitting a number on the scale. We dive into her daily health non-negotiables, how she breaks down the fear around lifting heavy, and why acceptance is just as important as ambition. PLUS, Denise shares the powerful mindset shift that helped her push through self-doubt and start living with intention. If you've ever struggled with consistency, negative body image, or just need motivation to start again—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought “Is this just how it is now?” If so, this is exactly what you need to hear! In Part 1 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, she shares how she went from burned out, binge eating, and pre-diabetic in her late 40s to competing in a bodybuilding competition in her 50s—after never having stepped foot in a gym. Denise opens up about the moment that made her change everything, how she overcame self-doubt and shame, and how strength training helped her reclaim her body, her energy, and her confidence. She also gets real about how to make the first step when you feel stuck, how to break the cycle of emotional eating, and why midlife isn't a decline—it's a decision. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, burnout, or just feel like you're “starting over,” Denise will remind you that it's never too late to become the strongest version of yourself. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Transformation starts with one honest moment. For Denise, it wasn't a rock bottom—it was realizing her wedding ring didn't fit. That moment of discomfort sparked a complete lifestyle shift. You can lose 50 pounds without extremes. Denise didn't crash diet or obsess over perfection. She focused on consistent habits, strength training, and choosing long-term wellness over quick fixes. Emotional eating keeps you stuck in survival mode. Denise recognized how food was numbing her stress. Once she got curious instead of judgmental, everything started to shift. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  DENISE KIRTLEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyfitnessjourney/?hl=en Website: https://rebellionbody.com/  Get coaching: https://rebellionbody.com/pages/coaching  Challenge: https://my.playbookapp.io/denise-kirtley/programs/pull-up-program/23454  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Episode 543 - Kymberly Kaslar - Faith Heal Love - Embarking on a Trip to Find HealingFulton Books author Kymberly Kaslar, who resides in Northern California, where she enjoys car events, traveling, reading, and spending time with her friends and her two cats, Bastet and Bishop, has completed her most recent book, “Faith Heal Love”: a stirring tale that centers around one woman's expedition to Ireland, Italy, and Sweden in order to find the spiritual and emotional healing she requires after suffering at the hands of an abuser, then a cheating husband and losing everything precious to her in the world.Originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, author Kymberly Kaslar has called Northern California home for thirty-two years. She has been a civil servant to the state of California for over twenty-five years, but writing has always been her passion. She hopes her stories of surviving grief and abuse would help others find faith in God and in themselves. She has always been a car enthusiast, thanks to her mom and her love of Ford and Italian cars. After her mother's passing in 2012, she formed Dreams and Drivers Inc. to incorporate her love of cars around bringing awareness to pancreatic cancer with monthly car and coffee events and car shows.“How many times can a person survive having the rug jerked out from under themselves?” writes Kaslar. “Teagan became a widow at thirty-five, then became the victim of an abusive sociopathic manipulator who destroyed the young widow physically, emotionally, and financially. After years of abuse, she is finally free of Alex and is happily married and enjoying life and upcoming retirement with Jake. Then like a bad dream, Teagan gets her world turned upside down for the third time.“In a fifteen-year span, she loses her husband, gets involved with a serial abuser, loses a child, loses her mother to pancreatic cancer, gets married, and then he turns out to be a lying, cheating, lazy narcissist!“How could God let this happen to her? What signs did she miss? How the hell could this happen again?“Realizing that God removed Jake at the right time and protected her, she took a different ‘healing' approach. With the coaxing of her newly divorced friend Valo who had returned to Sweden, she decided to make this forced new chapter about having the faith to take care of herself by any means possible and lean into her faith for more guidance so she could heal and check her baggage, let go of all the past, and find the blessings that these tribulations have given her. Teagan realized that regardless of the pain and suffering, she was alive and needed to learn how to enjoy life. First up, she embarked on a divorce vacation to Ireland, Italy, and Sweden. Lastly, Teagan hoped to learn to love again and be loved.”Published by Fulton Books, Kymberly Kaslar's book is a poignant story filled with painful, gut-wrenching lessons, loss, tears, self-reflection, healing, forgiveness, romance, and finding real love. Candid and emotionally stirring, Kaslar shares her story with the hope of helping survivors of grief and abuse find faith in God and in themselves once more.https://www.pr.com/press-release/929557Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Hey Heal Squad! We're so happy to have Dr. Laura Berman back. She is, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who's spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. Here she discusses the complex dynamics behind infidelity revealing that  emotional disconnection and the need for validation can play major parts. Cheating is so opportunistic too! With modern social media acting as a "high school reunion on steroids," where people can be tempted by the idea of "the one that got away." Dr. Laura also explains why serial cheaters may be driven by a desire for the chase and dopamine hits rather than just sexual need. Let's not hate the cheater just yet, rather learn about what's really going on because like Dr. Laura mentions, anything can be addressed through better communication. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi  Code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  GUEST RESOURCES: More on Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/ Follow Dr. Laura on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drlauraberman/?hl=en Follow Dr. Laura on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drlauraberman PRE-ORDER Sex Magic:  https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Magic-Relationship-Spectacular-Intimacy/dp/1637746946 Transform Your Grief w/ Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/griefhealingcollective/ Check out Dr. Laura's Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/language-of-love-with-dr-laura-berman/id1552549384 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week's episode kicks off with the uplifting lyrics of Belinda Carlisle and blossoms into a spirited talk about the difference between possessing and admiring. Why admiring something—a house, a car, a theater, even success—might bring you more peace than actually owning it. We explore the age of Aquarius, generational disillusionment, and how the old systems just don't vibe anymore. Keven shares why the younger generation seems lost (hint: it's not laziness), and how our unconscious minds obey the scripts we write—whether that's “my relationships never work out” or “I'm not enough.” We revisit Letting Go by Dr. David Hawkins to learn why guilt is just another indulgence of the small self and why stepping into “Selfishness” with a capital S (the empowered Self) might just be the most generous thing you can do. Add in a deep cut from Star Trek, ironic lessons to Captain Lou Albano and you've got this week's Sunday Set Up. Remember, the bullets aren't real. Not theirs. Not yours. Nothing here is permanent—except change. Let go and be present.

In Episode 694 this week, Damien Duffy from Parable of the Talents talks about his recently released sequel to Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower! Damien was chosen to continue his successful work of translating Butler's prose into the comics format, once again working with artist John Jennings. It's described this way: “This series follows Lauren Olamina, a preacher's daughter who develops a new religion, Earthseed, while traveling the dangerous and dystopian country. Duffy and Jennings bring the sci-fi classic to life with a beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation. Parable of the Talents continues Butler's masterful story set against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of Christian fundamentalist fascist state.” We discuss how this book came to be, who the various characters are, and what else we can expect from this high-power writer/artist team in the months ahead! Published by Abrams ComicsArt, this graphic novel can be found in local comics shops, in your local bookstore, or here on Amazon.com. Don't miss it!

Hey Heal Squad! It's a solo check-in with Nat this week while Kelsey takes a breather. From puppy updates and adorable Dylan stories to profound reflections on betrayal trauma, Natasha opens up about the surprising ways we hold on to old emotional wounds—and how learning to make space for stillness and receiving can start to shift everything. She shares a powerful conversation with Dr. Debbie Silber from the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, explores the difference between trauma and betrayal, and reminds us how past relationship patterns can quietly shape how we show up now. It's a heart-forward episode about healing, slowing down, and remembering that it's safe to receive. xo Nat  -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

It's Friday and we fooled them again! This week's RGF focuses on more dream analysis and how it can transform you. From betrayal in a dream cafeteria to a third-floor restaurant with no elevator and a rabbit-headed spirit guide who's clearly not here for your excuses,  we're talking divine ejections, 11:10 on the clock (a.k.a. spiritual almostness), and why ChatGPT—sorry, Phineas J. Whoopi—might just be the best shrink there is. We talk all things recurring signs, emotional redirection, and what it means when spirit stops whispering and starts kicking you out of the past. We cover creative resistance and the genius trap and why dimming yourself could be deadly. We break down why betrayal in your dream isn't about your partner or the betrayal even.  RGF Bonus: Captain Lou and Captain Kirk — and how delusional beliefs beats limiting beliefs and why your beliefs can kill you. Sundries, satchels, pails, penny buns, bear claws oh my!  Happy Friday.

Dr. Matthew Bowman has just released a new biography on Joseph Fielding Smith. Bowman is the Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. The Mormon Studies chair Bowman holds at Claremont Graduate University is the oldest in the country, having been established over 15 years ago. Bowman is the third person to hold the chair, following Richard Bushman and Patrick Mason. Patrick Mason left Claremont to take the chair at Utah State University. https://youtu.be/6VrK15TQVcY Don't miss our other episodes with Dr Matthew Bowman! https://gospeltangents.com/people/matthew-bowman/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission. Mormon Studies Other Mormon studies chairs exist at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley (held by Deidre J Green), and the University of Virginia. Although not directly affiliated with Claremont, the late Jan Shipps is credited with making the study of the Mormon tradition a legitimate academic pursuit for those outside the tradition, enabling universities like Claremont without historical ties to Mormonism to establish such a chair. Before the endowed chair, Anne Taves, a professor interested in Mormonism, taught American religious history at CGU, and Armand Mauss was involved in fundraising and occasionally taught classes. Introductions to Mormon Thought Bowman is also involved in the "Introductions to Mormon Thought" book series, which he co-edits with Joseph Spencer. Published by the University of Illinois, the series aims to stimulate the growth of Mormon intellectual history through accessible introductory volumes on important Mormon thinkers. The series broadly defines "Mormon thinkers" to include artists like CCA Christensen and Minerva Teichert, alongside more traditional intellectuals. The books are intended to be short, accessible, and explore how these individuals influenced how members of the Mormon tradition understood themselves. The series uses the term "Mormon" intentionally broadly to encompass all denominations and movements originating from Joseph Smith's work, including fundamentalist Mormons and figures from the Community of Christ. While initially planned for 10-15 books, the series is doing well and is expected to continue. Other volumes in the series cover figures such as Eugene England (by Christine Hagund), Vardis Fisher (by Mike Austin), Sonia Johnson (by Chris Talbot), Lowell Bennion (by George Handley), Hugh Nibley (by Joseph Spencer), and Richard Bushman (by JB Haws). A future volume is planned on Eliza R. Snow (by Deidre Green), and Bowman hopes for one on Sheri Dew. Joseph Fielding Smith Bowman chose to write his book in the series about Joseph Fielding Smith, though his initial interest was in Bruce R. McConkie. He agreed to write about Smith instead to secure another author's participation in the series. Bowman views Joseph Fielding Smith as Bruce R. McConkie's intellectual parent and considers him the most significant LDS theologian of the 20th century, leaving a deeper and more persistent mark than others like James E. Talmage. While McConkie was influential, Bowman sees him more as a systematizer of his father-in-law's ideas rather than being an original. Other significant 20th/21st-century Mormon thinkers mentioned include B.H. Roberts, Margarita Bautista, Sheri Dew, and Leverne Parmley.. A significant fact about Joseph Fielding Smith is that he was the grandson of Hyrum Smith and the son of Joseph F. Smith. Bowman emphasizes that being a "Smith" was incredibly important to Fielding Smith, shaping his sense of duty and responsibility to continue his family's work. His memories of his father and uncle's violent deaths and his father's need to hide from federal marshals profoundly influenced him, fostering a sense of defensiveness and a perception that the world was hostile and persecuted the family f...

This episode is for the writer who is ready to reimagine memoir. There's a lot about the publishing industry, about memoir, about storytelling, about creative nonfiction that doesn't necessarily serve us. And there are a lot of rules that we feel are a part of the publishing industry, and you're not wrong.

On Tuesday, veteran sportswriter S.L. Price released his latest book called "The American Game: History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse." Published by Grove Atlantic, it tells "the scintillating story of lacrosse — the game invented by the Haudenosaunee, played with more passion than any other, that stubbornly mirrors America's ongoing struggle with inclusivity." About a month before the book's release, he talked to IL CEO Terry Foy about some of the most pertinent topics — like what drew him to lacrosse and why he wanted to write a book about the sport — to his opinions on some of the most pertinent forward-looking questions — like whether he thinks the Haudenosaunee will be invited to LA28.

Today's discussion includes topics of a sexual nature. If this content isn't suitable for you or if you're listening in a shared space, please take caution and care while listening.  Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode is about to get educationally hot and steamy. We're thrilled to welcome back Dr. Laura Berman, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who's spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. And trust us, Maria is going there with all the juicy questions on sex, love, and relationships! Dr. Laura's new book Sex Magic reveals so much more too, but here she's telling us how to use sexual energy to manifest your dream life (yes, really!), why porn and social media (aka a high school reunion on steroids) may be hurting your love life, and the shocking reason serial cheaters keep cheating. Hint, Hint: it's not about sex! Plus the big debate: Is monogamy still realistic? Dr. Laura's take may surprise you. If you're looking for real, no-BS relationship advice, this episode is an absolute must-listen! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Sex & Manifestation - Manifesting during sex works because it's an intense energetic exchange that can be harnessed to create desired emotional states. Infidelity & Social Media  –Infidelity is often driven more by emotional disconnection, validation, and opportunity rather than just physical attraction. Social media has amplified temptation by making past connections more accessible. Passion Fades, But Connection Can Evolve – Long-term relationships transition from intense passion to deeper attachment. Many people seek external excitement (like porn or affairs) when they don't nurture intimacy within their relationship.

Episode 367: In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, the world awoke to the shocking news that South African Olympic and Paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, a 29-year-old paralegal and model Reeva Steenkamp, inside his Pretoria home. Pistorius, celebrated for overcoming the loss of his legs to become a global sporting icon, now stood accused of a crime that would grip and divide a nation. The ensuing investigation and trial, marked by intense media scrutiny, conflicting testimonies, and a dramatic courtroom battle, would raise questions about celebrity, violence, and the quality of justice in South Africa.

Maria's back from Greece and this solo episode is packed with updates, reflections, and one seriously divine moment.

Hey, Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Judy Wilkins-Smith breaks down how your money patterns (scarcity, over-saving, guilt around spending) often aren't yours at all. They're inherited emotional blueprints, passed down through generations of family loyalty and survival mindset. Judy explains how to identify the moment a family belief took hold, how to rewrite it with conscious intention, and why spending, saving, and sharing from a place of joy allows money to flow—and grow! If you've ever struggled with money guilt or felt disconnected from abundance, this is your sign to break the cycle and create something new.

This week we explore the balance between leading with love vs anger, inspired by Miyagi-Do, Cobra Kai, and the wisdom to use both. We talk the duality within all of us—the part that leads with love and light, and the part that's ready to fight when needed. It's not about choosing one, but learning how to integrate both.We also talk about the power of dreams—what they're trying to show us, and how they often hold deeper truths about our past, our present, and our path forward. Our desire to be seen, the desire to help others rise, and the journey to stop over giving and start honoring your energy. And finally,  we talk all things: Letting Go. Based on the work of Dr. David Hawkins, we talk the ten steps to help release old stories and emotions that no longer serve us. It's not about doing more—it's about feeling more, and releasing what's been weighing you down. Remember: Real strength is quiet. Real healing is subtle. And just like the Winter Warlock, sometimes all it takes is one foot in front of the other. Have a great week, Heal Squad. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

It's a solo Kels episode this week and we're comin' to you live from the bathroom mirror ✨because we're multitasking, getting glam for a Grammy Legends event, and sharing all the wellness wins from the week. Kelsey opens up about why betting on yourself is the ultimate self-care move, even when it's inconvenient. She shares the mindset shift that gave her the confidence to post content again, the daily habit that's helping her hair grow back, and the simple scalp tool that's becoming a nighttime ritual. Also in the lineup: Baby botox hot takes, Max update, and a gentle reminder that confidence is a muscle—and posting is practice. Happy Regular Girl Saturday! xo, Kels

Yep, we fooled them again! It's Regular Guy Friday. This week we reflect on breaking the hustle cycle, shifting from resentment to presence, and how leading with love (instead of Diet Coke) can actually change your life. We get into emotional energy levels—why shame keeps you stuck, anger gets you moving, and courage is where things finally start to lift. We talk all things ancestral patterns, limiting beliefs about hard work, and the surprising power of slowing down. Also: why blasting music through a demo job might be out, and inner peace might be in. And yes, even during a Reiki session, the most unexpected spiritual guest can show up—and he really wants to be on the team. RGF Bonus: A quick dream breakdown, emotional baseballs, and how renovating a house might just be a metaphor for renovating your life.
