Description: Episode #148: What if embracing your authentic self is the key to transforming your life and career? Join us on "Heal to Feel" as we navigate the fascinating journey of personal growth alongside my co-hosts, Mercedes Javid and Liat Gerst. You'll love hearing from our special guest, the brilliant Annalyn McCord, who shares her insights into embracing authenticity. We also explore the evolution of Mercedes (MJ) from "Shaws of Sunset" fame, as she transitions from reality TV star to savvy businesswoman and devoted mom. There's a world of inspiration in the stories shared here, perfect for anyone looking to launch their brand or podcast with genuine authenticity. Parenting is a hilarious, heartfelt rollercoaster, and we're not holding back! From recounting the adorable charm of my son Carter as a baby to his current adventures in third grade romance, this episode captures the joys and challenges of raising a child with a mutual crush. I open up about my balancing act of encouraging openness while keeping early romances in check. Plus, get an insider's look at Carter's no-fuss ninth birthday party, where we celebrate the simple joys amidst the chaos of parenting. Friendship and family dynamics take center stage as I candidly admit to feeling like a less-than-perfect friend due to the whirlwind of life. Between unexpected birthday misses and the struggle to coordinate hectic schedules, my love for friends shines through as we plan future get-togethers. I express deep gratitude for the support and understanding from my incredible circle, even as work and family pull me in every direction. We're excited for your feedback and eager to connect with you again next week as we continue this journey together. Follow Kimberly on Instagram and TikTok @kimberlylovi or @iconicnationmedia
