On today’s show, Maria sits down for one of our most vulnerable interviews to date with The White Lotus star Brittany O’Grady. She reveals, for the first time ever, her struggles with body-image issues. Brittany also discusses her experiences with bullying, both growing up and in the industry, and shares what helped her heal. We learn why pain and suffering are actually happening FOR you. And lastly, Maria reminds us that you have the power to use your voice and own your power.  

Feel like you've failed at 2022 before it's even started? Haven't got a handle on what you wanna do or accomplish? Here's why that's a good thing. Why you can be more productive by doing less. Why YouTube Yoga Nidra may be THE cure for anxiety. Why alcohol tastes better, the less you drink it and when it tastes best in your 20's. Why you cant always do it alone and why life organizer friends and professionals are worth it.  Why Miley Cyrus is amazing hosting New Year's Eve celebrations.

Hey Kweenz, we fooled 'em again - we made it through another YEAR and to the last Regular Guy Friday of 2021. The Ava Max line from 'King's and Queen's' you wrongfully ignored. The definition of Real Friends vs Rock Star Friends and why it's okay to have both. The New Year's resolution to be more out for self is best applied when you lack this intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are great when you lack this other intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are even greater when you apply this '1% barometer.' The list of people you create before the year's end may predict success for the following year. The thought that maybe it's less about being more out for self and more about being more self-reliant. The theory that every time you go on a trip, you return a different person. The magic mirror Miss Jean used to thank the Romper Room audiences works just as well to thank RGF audiences.  The fact that Kelsey forgot the RGF signature sign-off message, after almost 40 shows, means maybe we have another 40 shows to do. The three things you MUST continue in the New Year: 1) Be a Kween 2) Stay Krisp 3) Keep scamming (while doing the work). Bye 2021, Betches! See you at Club Freeze. #Krisp #Kweenz

Why Thursdays you don't need make-up, just ask Jess Glynn. Why making a 'life annoyance list' is the most important New Year step toward a better you, just ask Maria. Why removing those items from your life is the second most important step, just listen to Maria. Why making a list of small, attainable goals is the third most important step, just ask Keven. Why making certain, specific life adjustments may help you find your ideal mate, just ask Kelsey. Why you may want to mesh your creative pursuits into your day job, just ask Pooja. Why it's still all about hard work and sacrifice to achieve success yet as much about detachment. Why the last two years may have set you back, yet also set you forward. Why Freeze remains the best underground nightclub in LA, why Komebacks are spelled with a 'K', why calling things 'Krisp' is huge with Eastern European teens. So Heal Squad, here's to our last BT show of '21 and to Krisp Kween Komebacks in '22. See you at Freeze. #Krisp #KomebackKweenz

Happy Wednesday as Better Together's Very Covid Christmas Week continues to deliver you fresh new episodes daily. How Wednsdays are the day to get it right, just ask Johnny Cash. How being sick at home while the rest of the world is on vacation may not be the worst thing, just ask Keven. How being sick at home may force you to be present and how being present may force you to appreciate more, just ask Maria. How being the one to help others even when no one helps you is cause for appreciation, not bitterness, just ask Marcus Aurelius. How you can't allow anyone to put you in a box, just ask Leeza Gibbons. How you may see yourself as weak when all along others saw you as strong, just ask the cast of One Tree Hill. How no matter what traumas you've endured, you're still standing and why that's the biggest win of all, just ask Elton John. How you never lose unless you quit, just ask Bob Backlund. How Mr. Miyagi trained with movement, spirituality and nature as enemies trained with violence and who really wins by the end, just watch Karate Kid III. After that, watch #CobraKai which drops this weekend. Stay #Krisp Heal Squad!

A Very Covid Christmas Week continues as does Better Together's commitment to deliver new content daily. How recliner's are so underrated, just ask Keven. How roller coasters and life are similar and how managing the highs, lows , exhilarations and fears are essential, just ask Maria. How managing fear may be the key to life, just ask Sly Stallone. How embracing a new normal and dealing with what is, rather than what was, is crucial. How anxiety blocks creativity and your dreams and how scheduling your creative endeavors may be essential. How detachment from success may lead to more of it and why wasted talent may be the biggest faux pas of all. How 'goin' to the club on a Tuesday got the girl in the cut and she ain't choosey' may not make sense to you but does to Turkish DJ Burak Yeter.  And BTW, why does Tuesday get such a bad rap? Why shouldn't we Kweenz hit the club on Tuesday? THESE are the important questions. Stay #Krisp #HealSquad. 

Didn't have the perfect Instagram Christmas? Neither did we! Maria, Keven, Winnie and Max are down for the count but prove we are still Better Together, delivering fresh new episodes - albeit from bed. When we get sick over holidays and vacation it's for this very reason. How these home treatments may be able to navigate you through flu and colds. How pet's getting ill or injured over holidays can sometimes be remedied at home. How texting loved ones who have passed may help you cope. How your Christmas may have been better than you think and a reminder of the holiday's true meaning. The official date Christmas ends and when to take down decorations. Installing steam showers, buying portable steamers online, the best means to refinish hardwood floors, cool retro songs about Mondays, how underrated singer Mama Cass was, a reminder that Lowes will have Christmas trees and decorations on it's floors by August and the usual random ramblings received when Keven gets to co-host. Happy Christmas week!

Hey Kweenz, Christmas Eve is here and, as promised, so is RGF. How going home, or being with people from your past, can return you to your eight year old self and what can be done to resist. How not stepping on false accusations can make them truths. How much the name of your business, or title of your project, equates to success. Just ask @prettylittlebakers. How there's a difference between civilians and samurai and the importance of knowing both. How carnies named Popcorn and Clyde can teach us the difference between a Tuesday and a Saturday and how knowing the right answer factors into achieving the loftiest goal.   Are you, or have you ever been, a Pick Me Girl or Guy? Are you, or have you been, a Main Character? Is there anything more important than being popular or getting likes?  A HUGE RGF book announcement, tentative title: How to Build Your Throne in a Land of Kweenz. Rankin and Bass tells us that Christmas is what you make it and RGF tells us this, or any, holiday season you're never alone. LOOK FOR FRESH BETTER TOGETHER CONTENT DURING THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEK! Bye Christmas Betches.
