Today we are going to dig deep into what male and female friendships provide to our lives. Let's discuss whether men and women can be friends. What best friendships bring to the table and whether you can continue to be friends with a former spouse. These topics have been brought to me over the last few weeks and I thought it would be a great way to do into the weekend on a Friendship Friday. We will also bring you the news that broke last night about Former President Donald Trump, more disturbing details in the investigation into the two children that were killed by their mother in Jefferson County Missouri, local sports news and our aspiring meteorologist Beckett Moore joins us with Weather. #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #Friendships #friends #bestfriends #followers #men #women #spouse #dopamine #feelgoodstories #breakingnews #news #newsyoucanuse #sports #STLWX #Friday

We would love for you to come by for an appetizer, drink, dinner, for some fun as we sit down and enjoy some time with Christy Prosser Hall, the owner of Firefly Grill. Christy has long been in the food industry and had the dream of opening her own restaurant. We will talk about that business mentality, being your own boss, female owned business, not listening to the naysayers, having the fortitude to stick with your dreams. Firefly is thriving and it is thanks to the community for showing up for her and her team. You will love the message of this afternoon's show and of course the food and drinks. Let's share some fun times together! If you want to come by and pick up food for your family and can only come by for a short time that is great. We will have some Know Your Value merchandise for purchase and a whole lot of fun! #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #FireflyGrill #Chesterfield #happyhour #goodfood #food #drinks #wine #goodtimes #femaleownedbusiness #believe #restaurant #family #secondchances #Positivity

Did you grow up in a household forcing perfectionism? Did that carry over to your adulthood and the pattern continued at work, with your own families? How dangerous do you think this can be? Today let's have a candid talk about the price of perfectionism in your personal life, professional life and how it leads to breaking. That perfectionism mentality plays out in so many lives from children to adults that it has been a theme I have been asked to talk about on a regular basis. MJ the Musical opened at the FOX on Tuesday night and is the wrap up of the season for Fabulous Fox fans. I attended the show last night and my jaw is still dropped to the ground at what we witnessed. We have a review for those of you going or who have been wanting to purchase their tickets. #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #news #MichaelJackson #MJTheMusical #Perfectionism #Perfect #BePerfect #Family #NewsYouCanUse #trending #sports #weather

It's Pawsitive Talk Time with Jessica Cooke and Yuppy Puppy Pet Spa and Yuppy Puppies Forever Rescue. Today we are going to show you some of the most creative grooming dyes and cuts I have ever seen. Wait until you see this video of a guy in San Diego that has gotten so creative teaming up with the Humane Society in that area to get rescues adopted out and the styles he does are Wow! We will ask Jessica the craziest grooming stories over her years and also the unrealistic things clients ask for; like wanting a show dog cut and style but not living the lifestyle of a show dog.. It is amazing how similar it is to the unrealistic images people take hairstylists demanding they look like the model in the picture. We are going to have some fun today while also giving you some really important grooming tips to ensure your animal is properly taken care of. We will also talk about stories of ticks and fleas that are caused by the lack of preventative yet the owners blame the groomers. Some horror stories to tell. We will feature Rosa who is up for adoption and check in on some of our other featured adoptees and see how the gala planning is coming along and what we can do to help! #therealmonicaadams #puppytime #puppies #dogs #dog #dogsofinsta #adoption #adopt #adoptdontshop #grooming #groomers #hairstylists #groomingnightmares #stylist #haircare #nailcare #YuppyPuppyPetSpa #rescue #rescueanimal

If you ever need modifications or alternate exercises just drop a comment for me or email me to let me know what you are looking for that may help others! I also want to have an open conversation about the latest news story with Harrison Butker. This is where agendas have a tendency to be pushed. Do you get your news stories from one source or do you form an opinion after listening to several sources on both sides of the aisle? Did you listen to the entire speech or read the full transcript? If so let's talk openly and candidly about that this morning! Let's also talk about the latest news with #Graceland and stories of an auction and fraud. #ElvisPresley #Elvis #LisaMarie #Priscilla We will also bring you the #newsyoucanuse #sports #weather #STLWX and how you can get involved with your show.

It's time to Ask the Trainer. We promised to show you some great core exercises today while also addressing the weight loss phenomenon that has swept the celebrity field.

Why can't more people be REAL to help you decipher and make the best decision for yourself? That is why we are here for you and promise to always provide you with REAL talk and REAL results! #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #host #weightloss #Oprah #OprahWinfrey #KellyClarkson #WhoopiGoldberg #Ozempic #Manjouro #Weightloss #diets #diet #weightlossdrugs #semaglutide #Real #Realtalk #exercise #diet #fitness #coretraining #core #abs #abtraining

Today's show is geared towards anyone who has ever played youth sports, been a parent of a child in youth sports, coached or umped. Travis Snider and Seth Taylor founded 3A Athletics, Bringing Awareness to parents, coaches, and athletes of the changes that need to be made in the culture of Youth Athletics. Activating the true potential of a young athlete by changing the culture through addressing and nurturing the mental approach of the athlete, of the parents, and of the coaches. A changed culture that helps the athlete Achieve their true potential, not only in athletics, but in life. Co-founded by Travis Snider, longtime MLB outfielder with Toronto, Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Seth Taylor, who is a therapeutic life coach working with MLB and MLS players, as well as high level CEO’s, parents and players in youth sports. Throughout Snider's 16 year professional career, he struggled immensely with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and various other physical challenges that affected his ability to reach his “potential”. Snider tells me he didn’t realize until working with Seth that a lot of these issues stemmed from experiences in his childhood that he carried with him through his career. Travis and Seth have worked together since 2021 in Snider's own therapeutic process and discovered he had written these books for parents and coaches in youth soccer. The two decided to buy out their former partner and build this business around the already existing products for multiple sports. Snider became passionate about this experience kids are having in youth sports after unpacking his own childhood experiences in sports and life that were still positively and negatively effecting his sense of identity and self-worth. Snider has 3 children (7, 5, 3) who are entering the world of youth sports and his golad is for them to have a healthier experience. 3A will develop the content and curriculum the athletes, parents, instructors and coaches can use to build the foundation upon which they build their lives. Athletes and how they think and play, instructors how they evaluate and train, coaches and how they evaluate and coach. 3A content and curriculum facilitates the teaching and learning process so we can explore how we do these things negatively and positively within sports and our culture as a whole. 3A offers these in their curriculum: HERO- Interactive Parent Guidebook- Baseball, Soccer, Softball available. Football, Basketball, Tennis, 1. Section 1- Your Child- The beauty and the pain of watching your child play sports and how to have difficult but honest conversations. a.

Time for Motivation with Monica. Many of you have asked for more workout segments at least once throughout the week that you can do either during the show before you head off to work or to save these workouts for later in the day and for anytime. This one really targets the glutes and hips. You don't need any weights, you can add some if you want extra resistance but the entire workout can be done with your bodyweight alone. This is a high calorie burn. I will also be discussing the mental side of why rest is so important! #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #workout #Wednesday #HumpDay #fitness #motivation #inspiration #glutes #training #butt #hips #thighs #gymtime #workoutroutine
