414. The Truth About Living in LA, Our Craziest Celebrity Interactions & Maria’s Untold Industry Stories + A Proven Technique To Release Anger

On today’s show we have actress, model, entrepreneur and mother Brooke Shields. Ever since her acting debut at 11 months old, she has lived her entire life in the spotlight. She shares what it was like growing up in the public eye, reveals how she got through the media scrutiny, and opens up about how she really feels about that infamous Barbara Walters interview. Brooke also talks about her own insecurities and what helped her stop comparing herself to others. Why just because you are able to do everything, doesn’t mean you should. Her tips on parenting. And how she is embracing her age instead of running from it, and how you can too! In September 2021, Brooke launched her own digital wellness brand “Beginning Is Now” which creates a supportive space for women over 40, inspiring women of every age to live their fullest lives on their own terms!

Kelsey attended a Military Ball in college, Keven attended a Soccer Ball in high school, Poojah never attended a ball and the RGF Ball will be 'ah-mazing' but who's got the biggest balls of them all? Shuffle off to Buffalo and stay #Krisp. Bye Betches. #Kweenz

“How To Break Up With Your Friends" author Erin Falconer joins the Heal Squad to share the starting link between your friendships and your productivity. The existence and handling of 'legacy friendships.' The need to examine invites: is your attendance at that kid bday party, baby or bridal shower 'meaningful'? How 50% of those with fewer social connections experience this.
