Maria McCool is one of the most talented and successful hair stylists in the world and she’s on the show this week to empower you to feel beauty brave.

I’m here with Maria to tell you that even though you may not believe it yet, you’re beautiful inside and out. It can be hard to see it because we’re so critical of ourselves, but you are one decision away from changing your life. So get ready to level up your life this week with Maria McCool.  And stay tuned to the end of the show when I give you more details about how I recently lost so much weight.

– Kim Gravel.

Leanne Morgan is one of my favorite comedians and she’s back on the show this week. She’s bringing the funny and she’s bringing a message - that it's never too late for your dream to come true! Since her last time on the show Leanne's been on the Forbes’ 50 Over 50 list, she released a Netflix special, and she’s starring alongside Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell in a new movie.

Leanne shares how she stuck with her comedy career even when it was incredibly hard, how hiring a social media team she couldn’t afford skyrocketed her fame, and she even tells me her hilarious backup plan. Leanne's inspirational story will remind you that timing is unpredictable and that your calling will manifest itself in unexpected ways. Remember, all that matters is that you do what you’re called to do, and that you never give up on yourself!


This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:
“I feel like I'm just getting started at 57 and I want women and men to know it's never too late.” – Leanne Morgan

In this episode:
·       How to embrace unpredictable timing in life
·       How to stay strong when things get tough
·       How social media skyrocketed Leanne's career

This is one of my most personal podcast episodes ever. This week I read my diary from 1991, which is the year I won Miss Georgia. I also read diary entries from this last year. Do you know what I realized when I read both? When I looked back over years of journaling, I realized that I have been writing the same thing over and over again. I realized that I was obsessed with the struggle to lose weight even when I was 19 and in the best shape of my life. I was putting the struggle up on a pedestal.
We've all got struggles. If your struggle is a health struggle like mine, if yours is financial, if yours is a dream you haven’t been able to accomplish, whatever you are struggling with, this episode can be a game changer for you if you decide it’s going to be. Get off the struggle bus because you have the power to decide to change your life right now. We all have the power. So let’s use our power together, y’all, and let’s level up our lives. 

In this episode:
·       I read journal entries from six months before becoming Miss Georgia
·       How I decided to let go of my 30-year weight loss struggle
·       How focusing on struggles prevents us from making change in our lives
·       How to stop living in your struggle
·       How to start making the positive changes you need in your life


Thank you to everyone who wrote to me and left me a review or a comment on last week’s episode. It was our most popular episode ever so buckle up because we’re just getting started talking about the power of deciding. 


This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:
“There are no limits to your life except for what you put on yourself.” – Kim Gravel
