Claiming Your Baggage with Kier Gaines | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton
Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia PontonShow Notes
Hey Angels!
Today I'm sitting down with a licensed therapist who has DEFINITELY been on your For You page - the one and only Kier Gaines!
His new book It All Starts When You Do: How to Do the Real Work of Self-Healing just came out, and it had me rethinking my own life choices (in the best way)...
We get into claiming your baggage, why "have healed" hits different than "healed," and I get real about a friendship breakup I still can't shake. Then I put Xaden, Maven and Johnny on the therapy couch, and Kier does NOT go easy on our book boyfriends.
You DO NOT want to miss this one!
xoxo, Olivia

Hiii angels!! 🪽 I genuinely cannottt believe I'm typing this, but today I am sitting down with THE Colleen Hoover 🎀🎀 ...the author behind 26+ books and the reason so many of us became readers in the first place! With the Verity movie finally here, we are obviously getting into Dakota, Anne and Josh, plus the secret origin of Woman Down, her next thriller, and why her husband is banned from reading her books. And yes… I finally asked her: letter or manuscript?? iykyk You DO NOT want to miss this one! xoxo, Olivia 🎀
Veronica Roth got to watch the idea she wrote in college get built in her own city - gravel poured over the streets, the Ferris wheel painted to look worn, and an entire El car built from scratch by the crew.
Hi angels!
SURPRISE, ANGELS!!! This is an exclusive sit-down Booked, Blonde & Busy conversation with the incredible cast of Verity. I had the honor of sitting with Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson & Josh Hartnett to talk about the headboard bites, their favorite scenes they filmed, and the way they got into the twisted world of Verity.
I've been cheated on in nearly every relationship I've ever had...so I asked a licensed therapist the question I can't stop thinking about: why do people do it?
