  I've been cheated on in nearly every relationship I've ever had...so I asked a licensed therapist the question I can't stop thinking about: why do people do it?

  Claiming Your Baggage with Kier Gaines | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton

  Sep 21, 202646 minS2

  Hey Angels! Today I'm sitting down with a licensed therapist who has DEFINITELY been on your For You page - the one and only Kier Gaines! His new book It All Starts When You Do: How to Do the Real Work of Self-Healing just came out, and it had me rethinking my own life choices (in the best way)... We get into claiming your baggage, why "have healed" hits different than "healed," and I get real about a friendship breakup I still can't shake. Then I put Xaden, Maven and Johnny on the therapy couch, and Kier does NOT go easy on our book boyfriends. You DO NOT want to miss this one! xoxo, Olivia Timestamps Intro/Bev of the Day 00:29-01:39 Sour Apple Is Bad ? 01:40-02:42 Who is Kier Gaines? 02:43-03:33 The biggest misconception about Kier 03:37-06:41 60-second pitch of It All Starts When You Do 06:42-09:34 What's your pebble? 09:35-11:04 How do you slow down in NYC? 11:05-12:42 Getting asked for a pic mid-fight 12:43-14:17 How to tell a fan "not right now" 14:18-15:03 Practice saying no 15:04-18:05 How social media targets men vs women 18:06-20:23 Men with feminine energy 20:24-21:16 Most of Kier's clients are women?! 21:17-23:07 Why men talk shoulder to shoulder 23:08-24:17 What do men vs women talk about in therapy? 24:18-26:50 "Healed" vs "have healed" 26:51-27:53 Living with depression 27:57-30:30 Olivia's friendship breakup 30:31-33:22 Kier's follow-up questions 33:23-34:01 Drinking friends vs sober friends 34:02-36:09 Should Olivia reach back out? 36:13-37:10 What is a book boyfriend? 37:11-39:37 Book boyfriend 1: Xaden (Fourth Wing) 39:38-41:01 Book boyfriend 2: Maven (Red Queen) 41:02-43:25 Book boyfriend 3: Johnny (Binding 13) 43:26-44:28 The best-friend-of-the-month friend
