If you need a big dose of laughter and encouragement, then this episode of LOL with Kim Gravel is for you!

I’m starting something new this week: “Ask Kim Anything!” I’m taking your questions and giving advice on any topic. Send me your questions and I’ll answer them on future episodes of the podcast. This week I'm answering questions about relationships.

If you want to ask me a question then Email [email protected] or leave me a voicemail at 404-913-6460. Nothing is off-limits and we’ll only use your first name.

Mary Catherine Garrison is a Broadway and television actress, entrepreneur, boy mom, and fellow Southern woman. She’s on LOL with Kim Gravel this week to talk with me about self-realization and manifesting your dreams. Mary Catherine has appeared on your favorite shows including Veep, 30 Rock, The Good Wife, and is currently co-starring on the fantastic new HBO hit show Somebody Somewhere.

At 48, Mary Catherine landed her dream acting job, and has never been more fulfilled. She talks about what lights her up and helps her achieve her goals. This episode is proof that 50 is the new 30, that age is merely a number, and it's never too late to achieve your dreams, find the man of your dreams, or start something new. As my grandmother always says, “If you ain't dead, you ain't done,” so let’s encourage each-other, and ourselves to manifest our own dreams.

Listen until the end for this week’s Zac Attack “Boy Mama Drama” where Kim and Mary Catherine share all the “cringe” details of raising tween and teen boys.

This week we’re looking for hope in moments of hopelessness and discussing the impact that the tragic death of Cheslie Kryst has had on the pageant world, and on me personally. 

The suicide of former Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst, was a shock and a wake up call. This week we’re discussing hope and bringing awareness to the mental health issues that your friends, colleagues, and loved ones may be silently grappling with. 

I see an epidemic of hopelessness around me right now, and I’m here to share a simple, powerful message: THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.

Cheslie seemingly had it all: beauty, brains, and a platform to share her message with the world. But mental health and wellness issues can happen to anyone, even someone who seems to have it all. Cheslie’s death is a tragic reminder that no one is immune to mental health struggles, and that we need to talk about them openly, honestly and without judgement or stigma. 

In this episode, Zac and I discuss the stresses that our fast paced, modern lives puts on all of us. I share my own personal ups and downs to demonstrate that there is always light at the end of the tunnel in times of hopelessness. I promise you that everything happens for the good, and if you’re feeling hopeless right now, it will get better. 

In this episode:

How to recognize and acknowledge feelings of hopelessness

Finding a greater purpose after a big event like a beauty pageant

Managing your life expectations whether they are good or bad 

How to create a mindset shift to see the light at the end of the tunnel

How to let go of perfectionism

How to leave a little room for magic and serendipity in your life

How to be hopeful
