The Best Ever You Show Welcomes Brianna Brown Keen and Ragan Wallake of Wellness Babes What does it really take to feel better, build healthier habits, and create a relationship with wellness that actually works in real life? On this episode of The Best Ever You Show, host Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino welcomes Brianna Brown Keen and Ragan Wallake, two of the women behind Wellness Babes, for a refreshing conversation about health, nutrition, mindset, cooking, accountability, and creating sustainable changes without making wellness feel like another impossible standard to live up to. Brianna is an award-winning actress, producer, speaker, entrepreneur, and creator of Manifesting Your Mission. Ragan is a food writer, recipe developer, photographer, cookbook author, certified holistic nutritionist, and founder of Ragan's Kitchenette. Together with clinical nutritionist Julie DelaBarre, they created Wellness Babes to bring science, nourishing food, mindset, goal setting, and community together in an approach designed for busy women and real life. Elizabeth, Brianna, and Ragan talk about why so many of us struggle to stay consistent with healthy habits, the connection between food and how we feel, why cooking and eating well should include joy rather than deprivation, and the role that mindset, stress, accountability, and community can play in lasting change. They also share more about the Wellness Babes program and their 6-Week Transformation, which focuses on helping women better understand their bodies, habits, nutrition, hormones, gut health, energy, and overall well-being. This isn't a conversation about perfection. It's about learning to pay attention to your body, making choices that support how you want to feel, and discovering practical ways to care for yourself within the reality of your actual life.

Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino joins FOX 9 Good Day Minnesota to talk about The Peace Guidebook, the power of choosing peace in everyday life, and why the simple practice of Pause. Breathe. Choose. can help us respond differently during life's most difficult moments. This conversation became especially personal for Elizabeth following the devastating August 7 fire that destroyed her mother's home in Lakeville, Minnesota. Her mother and uncle escaped the burning home by crawling to safety in their pajamas and bare feet, but the house and their belongings were lost. While supporting her mother and family in Minnesota, Elizabeth continued with her previously scheduled media appearances and book tour at her family's urging. The experience has brought the message of The Peace Guidebook even closer to home. We never truly know what another person may be experiencing behind the scenes. A stranger, coworker, neighbor, friend, or even the person standing ahead of us in line may be carrying something incredibly difficult. Be kind. Give people grace. Choose compassion. Peace does not mean that difficult things don't happen. Peace is how we choose to meet those moments. Pause. Breathe. Choose. The Peace Guidebook by Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman offers practical tools for cultivating greater peace, presence, compassion, resilience, and connection in everyday life. Thank you to FOX 9 Good Day Minnesota for welcoming Elizabeth and helping share this important conversation.
