Stephen Lovegrove, America’s Life Coach, takes entrepreneurs, celebrities, and world leaders to the next level. He prides himself on “using spiritual law and principle in a practical way to transform their lives.” He describes his coaching not as the traditional series of therapy sessions, but “deep transformative work that will require you to confront how you see yourself, your life, and the world with powerful support and accountability that will shift your life and career forever.” I wanted to have him on the pod to discuss how he became America’s Life Coach and what lead to his personal transformation. I was stunned to hear his deeply moving story about growing up in a cult and how he broke free and discovered his true self. It was a hard fought journey that needed to be shared, and one that is truly inspirational. Follow Stephen on Instagram @drlovegrove

Meet Darius Brown, The Conversation Coach! He’s a speaker, an author, and a strategy coach, not only for dating, but for life and business as well! I had him come on to discuss his revolutionary book “You Got the Digits, Now What? 104 Early Dating Questions,” a must read for anyone and everyone who is currently dating! The book is designed to create memorable conversations with high quality men/women, and give you the answers you need without interrogating your date! For example, maybe you would like to know how much ambition he/she has, Darius suggests asking “What was one of the biggest risks you’ve taken that’s paid off for you now?” Or if you’d like to know more about his/her character, ask them “What insecurities are you most proud of overcoming?” There are countless categories, including sex and religion, so all of your burning questions can be asked in a non-invasive way!

Kim Gravel is best described as a female Dr. Phil with a twist of Bethenny Frankel! Her accomplishments started very early on in her life, starting with becoming one of the youngest to earn the title of Miss Georgia, at the tender age of 19. We talked about how she knew she was destined for greatness long before she wore that crown. She took every opportunity that came her way, and even created others to achieve her goals. Her tenacity and perseverance lead to starring in her own reality tv show on Lifetime, Kim of Queens, where she mentors and molds young pageant hopefuls. Kim has since developed a clothing and beauty line for QVC, Belle and Belle Beauty, and is a certified life coach, mentor, advisor and consultant. She is also launching a podcast called LOL with Kim Gravel on Thursday, May 22nd! Look out for her upcoming book as well as Brace for Kimpact, a reality tv series which picks up where Kim of Queens left off! You will love this uplifting, inspiring, and at times hilarious episode with Kim! Thank

Kimberly Vick was on Season 14 of The Bachelor, with pilot Jake Pavelka. She shared her emotional and eye-opening experience on TikTok which quickly went viral! I wanted to have her on to talk about the casting process and what happens in those months leading up to filming. I had no idea how attached the contestants become to their producers, and in Kimberly’s case, how they play a pivotal role in the trauma that results. I view the show very differently after hearing her story, and I think you will too. I’m glad we could bring these truths to light, and I thank Kimberly for being so open, honest, and vulnerable. Please follow her on Instagram @berly1786 and @berlyvick1786 on TikTok. You can also connect with her on Clubhouse! Thank you for listening!

Also, given the incredibly controversial interview that took place with host Chris Harrison and former first black lead Rachel Lindsay, we deep dive into the disturbing gaslighting that took place, how racism was defended over and over again, and what it all could mean for the future of the franchise.

There are so many Bachelor focused Instagram accounts and podcasts out there, but Justin Takes the Bach, is different. On this episode, I get cozy with podcaster and friend, Justin Cole Adams. His unique approach to addressing the popular show is both unique and intriguing. He has been able to cultivate relationships with contestants, past and present, which is not an easy feat. He gives great advice on how to get the attention of these seemingly unattainable people, and has them join his pod for a show recap or as a guest. Unlike a lot of other accounts, he doesn’t shy away from being sexual in his posts, flirting etc., and pushing that controversial envelope with the contestants. His social media growth has been astounding and for good reason! I also ask Justin to deep dive into the contestants response (or lack of) from the aftermath of the Capitol Insurrection this past week, the results were eye-opening. You can follow Justin on Instagram @justintakesthebach Thank you for listening!
