Did Your Dreams for the 2026 Fire Horse Come True? Let’s look back to understand NOW and our future using the Chinese Zodiac.

How to Stop Letting His Affair Ruin Your Life (And Start Enjoying Your Life Again) He had the affair. So why are YOU the one who can’t enjoy your life anymore? You replay conversations, check for clues, and wonder what he’s doing while your own life keeps passing by. You didn’t choose the betrayal, yet it can take over your thoughts, your energy, and your peace of mind. And perhaps the most frightening part is wondering whether this is simply who you are now. Will you ever feel like yourself again? Can you move forward without pretending that what happened was okay? In this episode of FLAUNT!, I share how deeply betrayal affected me, what it took to reclaim my own peace, and why healing is not the same thing as never feeling hurt again. We’ll explore six Sparkle Types—the Detective, Fixer, Prosecutor, Scorekeeper, Self-Critic, and Peacekeeper—and the protective patterns that can keep you focused on his choices instead of your own life. This isn’t about bypassing grief, ignoring red flags, or letting him off the hook. It’s about recognizing what’s keeping you stuck, reclaiming your agency, and remembering that the next move is yours. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal can change your life without defining your future. Grief, anger, and pain deserve to be felt, but how you feel today is not necessarily how you will feel forever. The habits you use to protect yourself may also be costing you peace. Each of the six Sparkle Types reveals a familiar pattern—and what happens when that pattern takes over. Your joy does not let him off the hook. Keeping score, searching for answers, or waiting for fairness can keep you trapped. You can become the author of what happens next. Favorite Quotes “How you feel now is not how you are going to feel forever.” “Your feeling bad does not punish him, it punishes you.” LOVE THE SHOW?

See Us, Know Us: Creating a World Where Everyone Belongs Michelle welcomes educator, disability advocate, and author Jennifer Chassman Browne for a heartfelt conversation about her book, See Us, Know Us, Profiles of Disability, which shares the stories, experiences, and voices of people living with disabilities. Drawing from her own experience living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since the age of six,, Jennifer explores the importance of disability awareness, inclusion and allyship. Together, Jennifer and Michelle discuss how listening to personal stories can challenge assumptions, deepen empathy, and help create schools, communities, and everyday spaces where people of all abilities feel seen, valued, and included. Jennifer also shares how children’s natural curiosity about differences can become an opportunity for learning and connection, and why seemingly small changes in accessibility can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. https://jenniferchassmanbrowne.com/ Learn more about Michelle here  https://dreamvisions7radio.com/friends-with-the-world/ Websites: friendswiththeworld.com  michellevillegastherapist.com

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #692 is an hour of improvised, visionary acoustic music featuring The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, melody harp, ukulele, Native flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin and shruti box, Bob Sherwood on piano and special guest singer and percussionist Robin Rooney. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in late October of 2026, today’s show begins with the peaceful, relaxed, rich groove of “Grateful”, a prayerful tone poem featuring beautiful call and response vocals from Mariam and Robin and “I’m The Full Moon” is a gorgeous folk song led by Mariam’s chiming acoustic guitar and more fine vocal work from Mariam and Robin. “So Tell Us Your Story” is a languid minor exploration with beautiful melodies and fine drum work from Robin and “We Know” is a fantastical, spacious, hypnotizing song with gossamer vocals, beautiful classical piano flourishes and sweeping Native flute. “When You Touch Me” is a rich raga based on a drone from Mariam’s shruti box and a call-and-response vocal setup from Mariam and Robin that opens into a spacious musical wonder of space and economy. Mariam strums her bright, dancing mandolin for “All About Rainbows”, a mystical forest song energized by powerful drums and expressive piano. “Room Of Doubt” is a blues-rocker from the “Gaea Star Crystal” LP and closing today’s show is a powerful, tight, rollicking take on Mariam’s island song “As The Seasons Change” with excellent contributions from the whole ensemble.

The Hidden Struggles of Strong People | Kelli Melissa Reinhardt What happens when the people who seem to have it all together are the very ones struggling in silence? We often associate mental health challenges with visible signs of struggle. But what about the high achievers, successful entrepreneurs, straight-A students, comedians, caregivers, and people who always seem to be smiling? Who is checking on them? In this deeply personal solo episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt opens up about life's unexpected challenges, the pressure to succeed, the difficulty of asking for help, and why creating safe spaces for honest conversations is more important than ever. Drawing from her own experiences as a nonprofit founder, entrepreneur, and suicide loss survivor, Kelli reflects on how easily we can become overwhelmed when life doesn't go according to plan. She shares lessons about learning to pivot, releasing the need to control every outcome, and recognizing when stress and frustration are affecting our mental well-being. Kelli also revisits her sister's story and the warning signs that can be difficult to recognize, particularly when someone appears to be doing well on the outside. Through reflections on high-achieving young people, public figures, and the expectations society places on successful individuals, she challenges us to look beyond appearances and rethink what struggling with mental health can look like. But this conversation isn't just about recognizing the struggles of others. It's also about learning to communicate our own needs. Why is asking for help sometimes so difficult? Why do we feel obligated to appear strong? And why do we so often try to fix someone's problems when what they really need is a safe place to be heard? Kelli shares her vision for creating more opportunities for authentic human connection, including community spaces where people can come together, share their experiences, and feel supported without judgment. This episode is a reminder that: Success doesn't mean someone isn't struggling. A smile doesn't always tell the whole story. Asking for help is an important part of caring for ourselves. We don't always need to fix someone. Sometimes we simply need to listen. Community, connection, and conversation can make a meaningful difference. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to carry everything alone. And you don't have to wait until you're in crisis to ask for what you need. Whether you're a high achiever feeling overwhelmed, a parent worried about your child, a leader carrying the weight of responsibility, or someone who simply needs permission to be human, this conversation is for you. Because even the strongest people need a safe place to land. Join Kelli as we continue creating conversations, building connections, and taking action to #MakeMentalHealthMatter.

Stella & Milo's Tallow Chips with Jason Baknowoski Do you love potato chips but hate the guilt that comes with eating them — the seed oils, the blood‑sugar spike, the crash afterward? What if you could enjoy your chips without the guilt and actually feel good about what you’re eating? This week's guest is Jason Bakanowski, founder of Stella & Milo's, a potato chip company built on just three ingredients: potatoes, grass-fed beef tallow, and mineral salt — no seed oils, no preservatives, no fillers. In this episode, we talk about how Stella & Milo's got its name (hint: two very good dogs), what beef tallow actually is, why seed oils became the default in mass-produced food, the growing debate over whether we should be limiting them, and what's driving the surge in demand for seed oil-free products. Whether you're already deep in the tallow-versus-seed-oil conversation or hearing about it for the first time, this episode breaks down the business, the ingredients, and the story behind the bag.

The Spiritual Almanac: Seasonal Living with guest Mary Tase, writer and creator of The Spiritual Almanac The seasons naturally regulate the rhythms of our physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic bodies. Bittersweet autumn is a time of transition. It is Nature’s spiritual call for gratitude and surrender – appreciating our blessings and letting go of that which no longer serves us. It is a time for stillness, as we sit and watch the trees drop their leaves while, yet, they hold on to the leafy nests of squirrels. It is the season to celebrate nature’s harvest and to decorate our homes with autumn’s natural materials. As we move through the year, how might our souls become more attuned to these healing rhythms? This is the purpose of the Spiritual Almanac, which offers a downloadable monthly calendar and a Sunday newsletter of lyrical writing for anyone seeking a quieter, more attentive life. Creator Mary Tase believes modern life keeps us so caught up in our thoughts that we stop noticing the world around us. Her essays follow the calendar and the turning seasons. Each one pairs her own photographs with historical art, literature, and ancient wisdom, inviting readers to slow down and notice the ordinary beauty close at hand. In this episode we talk of written reflections, nature journaling and substack, gratitude and stillness, Girl Scout stories, autumn inspiration (from meteor showers to brussel sprouts), and disconnecting from technology in order to be more present to the world around us. As we align with earth’s cyclical rhythms, Nature touches our souls, ignites our creativity, and brings us back into a healthy balance.

The Walls We Build After Betrayal (And When It's Safe to Let Them Down) What happens when the very things that once protected you begin getting in the way of the connection, happiness, and love you want? After betrayal, protecting yourself makes sense. You've been hurt. You've learned that things aren't always what they seem. And you're determined not to be blindsided again. But what happens when your circumstances change? When trust has been rebuilt, when someone has demonstrated that they're safe, and yet some of those old protective habits remain? During our recent 31st anniversary trip to Aruba, I had a realization about myself that I never saw coming. It challenged the way I thought about defensiveness, judgment, vulnerability, and even forgiveness. In this very personal, unscripted episode of FLAUNT!, I'm sharing what happened, what I discovered about myself, and how it changed the way I experience love and connection. This isn't about ignoring red flags, excusing betrayal, or letting down your guard with someone who hasn't earned your trust. It's about recognizing when you're responding to what's happening now and when you might still be protecting yourself from something that happened before. Top 3 Takeaways Defensiveness doesn't always look defensive. Sometimes it shows up as criticism, judgment, control, or the need to be right—even when what you're really feeling is vulnerable or afraid. There's a difference between protecting yourself and keeping yourself protected. Discernment means recognizing what's real and whether someone has earned your trust, rather than automatically responding to the past. You can discover new levels of happiness and connection long after betrayal. Healing isn't a finish line. Sometimes the most surprising breakthroughs come when you think you've already done the work. Favorite Quotes “Once you've seen the truth, you can't unsee it.” “Forgiveness will find us. We don't usually find forgiveness.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don’t just listen—start healing.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #691 is an hour of compelling, visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin and ukulele and Bob Sherwood on piano. Recorded live in late October of 2026 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the powerful folk anthem “Singing For Freedom”, an energetic workout with a soaring vocal and a gorgeous, unusual coda of soaring Native flute and lush, imaginative key cycles on the piano. “Beautiful Layers” is a deep blues with earthy harmonica and Ray Charles influenced piano work and “So Bright, So Light” is a fantastical, breathless mandolin-driven rocker with a fine vocal and imaginative piano. This piece codas into another panoramic Native flute coda called “Deep Inside is A Memory Of Life Divine”, an intense, focused accompaniment from the ensemble that reintroduces Mariam’s vocal in a deeply spiritual, chanting poem. “Wind Over The Water” is an affecting acoustic guitar ballad with a wistful, gentle vocal from Mariam and “We Love You Just The Way You Are” features a serene, mystical vibe that supports a particularly fine vocal and soaring Native flute from Mariam. “Solare” is another playful, mesmerizing, skipping ukulele-driven reel that evokes the deep forest to conclude today’s hour.

Gentle: Hope and Healing at an Animal Sanctuary (A Gentle Barn Story), author Ellie Laks Ellie is the Founder of The Gentle Barn. She is responsible for the daily care of the animals and programs at The Gentle Barn and has been since The Gentle Barn’s inception in 1999. Ellie is the face of The Gentle Barn and manages daily posts on Facebook, twitter and the Blog. Ellie is also the Educational Outreach Director working with hundreds of inner-city, at-risk and special needs children each year and has directly rescued, cared for and supported thousands of animals that would otherwise have been killed. Ellie has dedicated her life to being the voice of the voiceless. Ellie began her career working with special needs children and spaying and neutering and releasing feral cats in the alleys of Los Angeles. She started a dog training, walking, boarding and grooming business, that she used as a means to rescue animals from being put down at the animal shelters in Los Angeles. Ellie rescued and worked with about 500 dogs and cats before founding The Gentle Barn. Ellie is also a professional animal trainer and specializes in working with severely abused and mistrusting dogs. The Gentle Barn is now home to nearly 200 animals in Santa Clarita, California, Nashville, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri, who Ellie has healed, along with staff members, volunteers and her husband Jay Weiner who runs The Gentle Barn with her. Once healed and happy, the animals help Ellie and Jay heal at-risk, inner-city and special needs children, who have the same stories as the animals. Ellie and Jay live on the property together, with their 3 children. Together they get to rescue and rehabilitate hundreds of animals each year and get to see miracles connecting animals and children every day. Ellie attended California State University, Northridge, specializing in childhood development. “There is nothing more fulfilling to me than looking into the eyes of animals and children, who have no chance, telling them with certainty that they will be ok and then watching them go through the healing and growing process and coming out the other side and watching them become ambassadors helping others who are in their old shoes. It is what I live for each and every day.”  https://www.gentlebarn.org/ Gentle: Hope and Healing at an Animal Sanctuary (A Gentle Barn Story) Children’s Book One of the largest, most popular animal-rescue sanctuaries in America, Gentle Barn, has a book about a baby animal healing and gaining confidence as he’s welcomed to the farm.

When Music Meets Purpose: The K4CO Radio Story | Sara & Josh What if music could do more than entertain us? What if it could help us connect, find purpose, support our mental health, and bring entire communities together? In this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt welcomes Sara Duke and Joshua D’Estrada from K4CO Radio for a lively, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious conversation about music, mental health, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and the power of human connection. What started as Josh's desire to leave the corporate world and pursue something meaningful has grown into a Colorado-based radio platform dedicated to supporting local musicians, small businesses, nonprofits, and the communities they serve. But this conversation goes far beyond radio! Together, Kelli, Sara, and Josh explore how music becomes the soundtrack to our lives, connecting us to memories, emotions, and experiences that shape who we are. From the songs that lift our spirits to the ones that help us process difficult feelings, they discuss the powerful relationship between music and emotional well-being. They also dive into what it really means to follow your passion, especially when that passion comes with long hours, unexpected challenges, and the need to establish healthy boundaries. Sara shares her longtime commitment to philanthropy and supporting young people, while Josh reflects on how losing his father helped him rethink what he wanted from life. They discuss the importance of giving people a platform to share their stories, celebrating Colorado's talented musicians, and building genuine community connections. And yes, there's even a sweet, unexpected love story about how Sara and Josh found their way back to each other! Through laughter, personal experiences, and meaningful conversation, this episode reminds us that mental health isn't separate from the things we love, the work we do, or the people we surround ourselves with. It's woven into all of it. Whether you're a music lover, entrepreneur, community advocate, or someone searching for a little more purpose and connection in your life, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the most meaningful connections begin with a shared passion, a song, or simply giving someone the opportunity to be heard. Join us as we continue creating conversations, building connections, and inspiring action to #MakeMentalHealthMatter.

Building Your Bank of Resilience with Dr. Naomi Hall What if resilience wasn't about eliminating stress, but learning how to bank enough of it to withstand what you can't control? In this episode, Kristin Aurelia sits down with Dr. Naomi Hall — speaker, educator, and stress management coach known as the Burnout Barista — to unpack what it really takes to recover from burnout and build a life that can absorb the pressures of high-achieving work. Drawing on 22 years in classroom teaching, district leadership, and consulting, plus her own lived experience with burnout, Naomi breaks down the neuroscience of stress and introduces her signature framework, the Bank of Resilience™, built on five foundations: movement, nutrition, hydration, rest, and mindset. We talk about the myths high-achievers believe about pushing through, what it actually looks like to make daily "deposits" into your resilience account, and how leaders can extend this thinking to protect the well-being of their teams. Whether you're deep in a season of overwhelm or just want to stop running on empty, this conversation offers a science-backed, practical roadmap for feeling better, working better, and thriving again.
