The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast

This week I’m joined by PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau. Xaviaer is an ex-BLM activist who now uses his platform to educate viewers on politics, and cultural issues as a PragerU Personality.

I’m joined by Michael and Lauryn Bosstick! The entrepreneurs and co-hosts of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, where they share insights on relationships, business, wellness, and personal development. In this episode, we dive into the balance Lauryn and Michael strike between their personal and professional lives as entrepreneurs, parents, and partners: and how they’ve cultivated dynamics within their relationship to be effective in all parts of their lives.

Lauryn talked about the philosophy behind her brand, The Skinny Confidential, and how she’s built a loyal audience by creating daily routines that integrate wellness into practical beauty. Michael explained his journey in founding Dear Media: a media company for the next generation of creators.

We also explored their morning routines, health habits, their current reading list, and the importance of setting boundaries for a balanced life. There was a fair amount of raw, wry banter thrown in there too. We also talked shop on carnivore diet, and I shared the best hack for cooking steak that Michael and Lauryn hadn’t heard about (hint: it involves an air fryer).

More About Michael and Lauryn:

Michael and Lauryn Bosstick are the duo behind The Skinny Confidential and Dear Media. Lauryn’s lifestyle brand covers everything from beauty to wellness, while Michael runs a podcast network focused on amplifying female voices. They’ve built a multi-faceted business, launching products, hosting events, and creating a platform that connects with their audience on multiple levels; all while balancing family life and staying ahead of trends in the wellness and media industries.

I'm joined by Hal Cranmer, owner of A Paradise for Parents, assisted living homes. Hal is the owner of assisted living facilities that use low carb and ketogenic and carnivore diets for their patients. He emphasizes diet and exercise to improve residents' health, focusing on low-carb diets and physical activity to manage chronic conditions like diabetes and dementia. In this video, we explore how the ketogenic and carnivore diets are being used to reverse chronic illnesses, including diabetes, obesity, and cognitive decline. Real-life success stories are shared, from patients losing significant weight and regaining independence, to those seeing marked improvements in cognitive function. This is how assisted living should be. Enjoy!

Rob Henderson returns to my podcast! We discussed his recent memoir “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family and Social Class” and the rough upbringings involved in the child foster care system.

New episode with stand-up comedian & podcaster, Bryan Callen! Turns out Bryan’s podcast was the first podcast my dad did when he went viral back in 2017. So this kind of felt like a conversation between old friends. We discussed his comedy career, social justice warriors, life as a parent, politics, Bryan’s upcoming special and more. Enjoy!

Hey guys! Apologies for the delay, life got wild there for a minute and I didn’t have my mind in the podcast game. I wanted to wait until I could focus on content to start recording again. I figured I’d start back up with a Q and A and life update before relaunching the podcast next week. In this video, I discussed what’s been going on with me and answered some questions (dating advice, company updates and more). Enjoy!
