The Sports Doctor with Dr Robert Weil

Naperville's Fitness Legacy, Youth Mental Health, and Overuse Injuries with Mayor Scott Wehrli

Dr. Bob Weil welcomes Naperville, Illinois Mayor Scott Wehrli to talk community health and mental wellness, then spends the rest of the hour on the US Open, aging Olympians, and the epidemic of overuse injuries in young athletes.

A Doubleheader Begins With Mayor Wehrli
Dr. Robert Weil opens live from Chicago with his usual sponsor rundown, thanking Global Schoolwear, Lower Extremity Review magazine, Bryan Therapeutics, and UK Health Radio, before promising listeners a doubleheader. He welcomes Mayor Scott Wehrli of Naperville, Illinois, noting Wehrli is the third Naperville mayor to appear on the show and framing the visit around his long-running theme of city and county support for fitness and wellness. Weil also tells listeners that Dr. Nathan Bryan of Bryan Therapeutics is expected later to discuss nitric oxide. Turning to his guest, Weil asks Wehrli to describe his path to Naperville and to the mayor's office. Wehrli explains that he was adopted at seven months old and raised there by two loving parents, calling it a duty to give back to a city that gave him so much, a commitment he says began when he started volunteering there at age twelve, long before becoming mayor of Illinois's third-largest city at fifty-seven.

From The Park Police To Mental Health
Weil asks about Wehrli's career before politics, and Wehrli says he spent thirty-five years as a lieutenant with the Naperville Park District police, retiring that December first after learning, in his words, "the good, the bad, and everything in between" about the community. He says he has become especially active speaking out about mental health locally. Weil calls the mental game one of the biggest topics the show has covered across decades, crediting Simone Biles and Michael Phelps with helping normalize the conversation, and recalling a Daoist therapist from the Netherlands who linked twenty-five-hundred-year-old principles of compassion and simplicity to today's locker rooms. He describes twenty-five years of monthly foot screenings at Edward Health & Fitness alongside CEO Pam Davis, and notes that some communities cannot find enough young people fit enough to pass military or police entrance tests. After thirty-five years covering childhood obesity on the show, Weil says the numbers are, in his words, still treading water at best.

Pools, Bullying, And A City That Listens
Wehrli traces Naperville's health-minded reputation back to 1990 and PE teacher Phil Lawler, whom Weil remembers as an early guest on his WDCB radio show at the College of DuPage, explaining that Lawler used heart rate monitors to teach students how exercise actually worked. Wehrli points to the city's neighborhood pools as another legacy, recalling how his son's West Point water polo team would find "Naperville, Illinois" popping up on national rosters beside places like Long Beach. Weil connects this to inactivity and screen time, noting that obesity and weight are, by his account, the leading cause of high-school bullying, ahead of disabilities and sexual orientation, and recalls a 2008 article he wrote called "Let's Get 'Em Walking." Asked how he handled his own kids' sports, Wehrli says he stayed a sideline parent who never spoke to a coach, letting his children learn from good and bad leadership alike, a hands-off approach Weil ties to Naperville's honors as one of America's healthiest and best cities to live.

From The US Open To Olympic Ice
With Dr. Bryan still not on the line, Weil fills the segment with sports headlines, starting with the US Open, where his former guest Mark Kovacs coaches Frances Tiafoe into the semifinals. He recalls a former patient, Tim Smyczek, who years earlier played Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open and asked for a re-serve after a crowd disruption, a moment of sportsmanship Weil says added to his patient's reputation even as Nadal won. He notes Novak Djokovic's rare first-round exit and the retirement of thirty-nine-year-old Lionel Messi from Argentina's national soccer team, pivoting to a running theme of aging elite athletes. Weil celebrates pairs figure skater Danny O'Shea, for whom he built orthotics as a young teenager, winning Winter Olympic gold near age thirty-five after a comeback, and Naperville's own Evan Lysacek, whose skates he fitted with orthotics around age ten before Lysacek won Olympic gold twelve years later, a fact he shares that Lysacek's mother, Tanya, always knew skating was her son's goal, not hers.

The Overuse Epidemic In Youth Sports
Still without Dr. Bryan, Weil shifts into the show's core mission: overuse injuries in young athletes. He cites Yankees orthopedic surgeon Dr. Christopher Ahmad's estimate that roughly twenty percent of Tommy John elbow surgeries today are performed on teenagers, and remembers Lou Vickery, a former Yankees pitcher whose career was cut short by shoulder injuries after training under Whitey Ford and who later hosted his own radio show, Lou in the Morning. Weil repeats the late sports psychologist Jim Vickery's rules for sports parents: do not be a critic on the ride home, and be a good listener about how a child is doing physically and emotionally. He credits psychologists Don Brady and Katherine Snedaker, creator of PINK Concussions, for raising awareness of concussions in collision sports, and recalls financial expert Frances Rahaim discussing the cost of travel teams. He closes with a story of LeBron James's mother telling him to sit down at his son's game, and writer Jim Brown's advice to parents to simply stay out of it.

The Book, A Pearl, And Next Week's Guests
Weil closes with an explicit rundown of his book, #HeySportsParents, co-written with volleyball champion Sharkie Zartman, describing its four sections: sports-parenting challenges, sports-medicine basics like shoes and orthotics, expert contributions from nutritionists and mental coaches, and parents' own stories. He offers what he calls one of his standing "pearls" for coaches and parents: persistent lower-extremity pain in the back, knees, shins, feet, or ankles is almost always foot-related even when the feet themselves do not hurt, which is why it often goes unexamined. He previews next week's guest, Troy Gilb of Sports Performance Volleyball, recalling handing Rick Butler his first volleyball decades earlier, and lists upcoming shows with menopause expert Andrea Donsky, sports pharmacist Jessica Beale Stahl, and Everest climber Sean Swarner, author of True Summit Method. He signs off pointing listeners to thesportsdoctorradio.com for more on the National Fitness Hall of Fame and the book, thanking BBS Radio as the show closes.

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

As a Fountain Casteth Out Her Waters

Jeremiah's Warning on National Wickedness, UK Terror Arrests, and the Case Against Elon Musk

Bradlee Dean opens Sons of Liberty with Jeremiah 6:7's warning that a nation "casteth out her wickedness," then moves through Supreme Court history, a viral clip of Scottish politician George Galloway on mass arrests in Britain, a Colorado lawmaker's account of lenient sentences for child traffickers, and a lengthy case against Elon Musk over a Minnesota lawsuit and alleged occult ties.

Ten Commandments, Statistics, and a Founders' Prayer
Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast by reading Supreme Court language ruling that posting the Ten Commandments in public schools risks inducing children to obey them, calling this an impermissible state objective. He pairs it with a quote from Constitution signer James Wilson describing human law as resting on divine law. Dean recounts the 1962 Abington v. Schempp decision striking down a twenty-two word classroom prayer, noting the court found only three percent of the nation did not believe in God, and argues the ruling let that minority override the majority. He then recites a string of statistics on rising teen birth rates, sexually transmitted disease rates, and premarital sex since 1962, alongside a decades-long slide in SAT scores that he says has produced a generation graduating less educated than its parents. He contrasts public schools with private Christian schools, which he says score nearly eighty points higher despite less funding, and closes by reading a Thanksgiving prayer he attributes to Declaration signer Elbridge Gerry before the station's standard announcer statement airs.

Back From the Fair and Into Jeremiah
The show's theme fades and Bradlee Dean welcomes "friends and a few enemies" back to Sons of Liberty, reporting that he and his ministry just finished fourteen straight days working the Minnesota State Fair, nine in the morning to nine at night, and pointing listeners to sonsoflibertymedia.com and beforeitsnews.com for photos. He gives out the call-in number and turns to his text for the day, Jeremiah 6:7, reading that a nation "casteth out her wickedness" the way a fountain casts out water, and ties it to violence and grief he says define present-day America. Referencing prophets from 2 Chronicles and Ephesians, he pivots to the United Kingdom, where he says twenty mayors are now Muslim following what he frames as a prior wave of tolerance toward homosexuality. He plays a viral clip of Scottish politician George Galloway describing sixty thousand people arrested in Britain for social-media posts, which Dean uses to argue Zionist interests are directing Muslim immigration to target white Britons, a claim presented here strictly as his own.

Soros, the Silent Church, and More From the UK
After a commercial break, a recorded testimonial from Tom Raymond, who identifies himself as a retired Marine, trooper and postal worker, thanks Dean for years of ministry and radio work; Dean thanks him on air, addressing him once as being from Massachusetts even though the recording names Tennessee. Dean returns to Jeremiah 6:7 and argues that Christians who cite "not justified by the works of the law" to excuse inaction are twisting scripture, insisting Ephesians 5:11 requires believers to expose wrongdoing rather than stay silent. He casts the biblical prophet as the most rejected yet most loving figure in scripture, sent to point out a nation's transgressions before judgment falls, and claims that financier George Soros has purchased 168 conservative radio stations to control the narrative, calling him an "international war criminal." He plays more of the Galloway clip, in which Galloway describes elderly protesters and pro-Palestinian activists awaiting terrorism trials, and Dean argues Britain's government is criminalizing dissent against those he says are conquering the country.

Founders on Free Speech and a Colorado Warning
Following ads for Wisconsin Christian News, booking a Bradlee Dean event, and Alex Newman's Liberty Sentinel, Dean reads passages from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin praising free speech as liberty's "bulwark" and crediting Providence with governing nations. He returns to the UK theme, arguing that normalizing what he calls sexual sin demoralizes a nation before it is conquered, and warns that Germany's parliament is now demanding mass deportations. He then replays a clip of Colorado state representative Scott Bottoms describing a legislative committee hearing in which Democrats, he says, voted along party lines against a bill to jail adults who buy children for sex, arguing offenders were instead receiving probation. Dean says he warned years earlier about Colorado governor Jared Polis, calls the representative's effort insufficient without prosecutions, and cites a news item about a man in Odenville, Alabama, who filmed himself raping a toddler and was later found dead in his prison cell, treating the death as deserved.

The Case Against Elon Musk
Dean turns to Elon Musk, calling him a "lunatic" who wants to implant a chip in people's heads and pointing to a headline reporting that Musk is suing Minnesota over a law banning AI-generated child pornography. He shows the audience images he says depict Musk wearing an upside-down cross and goat imagery at Halloween and repeats claims that Musk's mother and his former partner, the musician Grimes, practice occult "witchcraft," presenting all of this as evidence Musk is not the "freedom fighter" he is marketed as. A female announcer promo for the ministry's Sunday church service airs, followed by a recorded testimonial from Lisa Mead of Surgoinsville, Tennessee, who says Dean's Sunday teaching is a "breath of fresh air" compared with what she calls a changed modern church. Dean then reads a Harry Truman quote crediting Mosaic law with America's legal foundation and delivers a station identification describing BBS Radio's history, founders Douglas and Donald Newsom, and its reach into 46 countries.

Judgment, School-Board Arrests, and a Closing Warning
Dean returns to the Musk-Minnesota lawsuit story, then argues that Muslim candidates running for American office are constitutionally disqualified because their oath conflicts with the Constitution, citing Thomas Jefferson's study of the Quran as justification. He warns listeners that ignoring these trends amounts to abandoning their children and invokes Hebrews 9:27 on judgment after death. He plays a clip of commentator Sara Gonzales reporting on a Cazenovia, New York school board member and drag performer named Longo, arrested on child pornography charges, alongside further cases she cites involving a British adoptive couple and a transgender former state legislator, using them to argue LGBTQ-linked officials pose particular danger to children. Dean rejects blaming "the left," arguing the right's failures created it, and closes the hour warning that mainstream media and politicians are inciting civil war, citing an unverified claim that Musk once told an ex-partner he needed "a legion" of children before conflict comes. He signs off quoting 1 John 3:18 and thanking listeners for tuning in.

Beverage Chronicles

Inside Oakwell Beer Spa's Craft Beer Taproom and Hydrotherapy Suites with Jessica French and Damien Zouaoui

Gary Monterosso runs through the latest sales rankings across seltzer, energy drinks, craft beer and ready-to-drink cocktails before Katie Johnson sits down with Oakwell Beer Spa co-founders Jessica French and Damien Zouaoui, who explain how a rainy day in Poland turned into a Denver taproom-and-spa concept now expanding nationwide through franchising.

A Rundown of Recent Beverage Sales
Gary Monterosso opens the show with a rundown of recent beverage sales figures covering data through roughly the end of June. In the non-flavored sparkling water category, San Pellegrino leads, followed by Topo Chico and Maison Perrier, while Sparkling Ice tops the flavored seltzer market. Red Bull remains the top-selling energy drink ahead of Monster, and 5-Hour Energy leads energy shots. Gary notes that Starbucks cappuccino sales topped two billion dollars over the past year. In craft beer, New Belgium leads, followed by Sierra Nevada, Blue Moon and Sam Adams. Gatorade dominates sports drinks with more than seven billion dollars in sales, ahead of BodyArmor and Powerade. AriZona narrowly leads canned and bottled tea over Pure Leaf and Gold Peak, and Gary mentions Pure Leaf's new Mental Focus line, a sparkling brewed iced tea with naturally occurring caffeine. He closes the segment by noting BuzzBallz has driven roughly half a billion dollars in ready-to-drink cocktail sales.

Meet Oakwell Beer Spa's Founders
Katie Johnson introduces the interview segment, noting that Gary Monterosso has prepared an edited version of a longer conversation available in full at beveragechronicles.com. Jessica French and Damien Zouaoui, married co-founders of Oakwell Beer Spa, introduce themselves and describe their business as a social day spa that pairs private spa suites with a craft beer and wine taproom. They explain that Oakwell currently operates two corporate locations in Denver, Colorado, after opening a little over five years ago, and that the company has recently begun expanding nationwide through franchising. Asked to define the concept for listeners who have never heard the term beer spa, Damien describes Oakwell as combining an urban jungle taproom featuring ten taps of beer, wine, cider and nonalcoholic drinks with four private spa suites. Each suite includes a sauna, a rain shower and a hydrotherapy tub, giving guests ninety minutes of private access built around beer-inspired relaxation.

From Corporate Careers to a Rainy Day in Poland
Jessica French and Damien Zouaoui trace Oakwell's beginnings to their years working corporate jobs in New York City, where they met, married and began plotting an eventual business together over pints of beer and glasses of wine. A month after their wedding, the couple decided to take a risk before responsibilities like children and mortgages arrived. They quit their corporate jobs, sold their belongings, packed two backpacks and set off on a round-the-world trip, vowing not to return home until they found a business idea worth bringing back to the United States. About halfway through more than a year of travel across twenty-five countries, they reached Zakopane, a town in the Polish Alps, and ducked into a beer spa on a rainy day after spotting it on TripAdvisor. Soaking in a tub of hops and malt beside a free-flowing keg of cold Polish beer, Jessica says they knew immediately they had found the idea they wanted to scale back home.

What Makes Oakwell Different From Other Beer Spas
Jessica French explains that while a handful of other beer spas exist in the United States, most simply copy the Eastern European model, complete with shared bathing rooms and a bed of hay for guests to lie on after their soak, a feature she says she never found relaxing. Oakwell, she says, is built differently: it pairs an expansive taproom and lounge, where guests can relax without ever booking a private suite, with individual rooms featuring an infrared sauna, a rain shower and a hydrotherapy tub. Jessica also points to Oakwell's zero-gravity massage chairs, high-tech robotic seats that deliver a full massage without human touch, as a distinguishing feature that appeals to first-time spa-goers, particularly men, who might otherwise feel intimidated walking into a traditional spa. She describes other American beer spas as smaller, single-location operations often aimed at tourists looking for a novelty photo opportunity rather than the fuller taproom-and-suite experience Oakwell offers its guests.

A Guided Walk Through the Spa Experience
Damien Zouaoui walks listeners through a typical visit. Guests check in to music ranging from bossa nova to French and Japanese pop, show identification since alcohol is served, and are led into the taproom to sample beer, wine or cider poured from the ten-tap wall while conversation cards on the table encourage couples and friends to talk instead of checking their phones. A staff member Damien calls a beertherapist then helps each guest choose a seasonal hydrotherapy bath infusion, from an energizing IPA blend with lemongrass to a calming amber infusion with eucalyptus. In the private suite, Damien recommends a fifteen-minute sauna session followed by a cold shower before soaking in the hops-and-barley tub, which he describes as acting like aromatherapy. Guests can call for room service, then cool down with water before finishing with a zero-gravity massage chair session, backed by NASA-derived technology, that scans the body and targets pressure points for fifteen to sixty minutes to close out what Damien calls a three-hour staycation.

On Tap: Local Beers and House Brews
Jessica French describes Oakwell's house beer, Spa Sidekick, a cucumber lemon gose made with in-house pressed cucumbers, real lemon peel and Utah rock salt, which she jokes is basically cucumber spa water. Beyond that year-round pour, Oakwell keeps five rotating taps sourced entirely from local breweries, drawing on Colorado's more than four hundred craft producers to always offer something light, something fruity, something sour and something hoppy, with malt-forward porters and stouts added in winter. Five additional taps cover cider, a wine spritzer, and a red and white or rosé wine. Jessica notes that every beer on tap stays at seven percent ABV or lower, a deliberate choice given Denver's altitude and the number of tourists arriving from sea-level states before sitting in a sauna or hot tub. She recalls one early day without an IPA pouring drew enough complaints that Oakwell now makes sure an IPA, and a full variety of styles, is always available.

It Starts Now with Juanita Dillard

Retirement Planning, Funeral Humor, and Choosing the Right Advisor with James Holloway

The month of September is where we start fresh. 0n today’s show we are going to do just that. My guest is James Holloway, Esquire to talk about retirement, savings and the one thing you be doing now. Most of us are living longer. Longer than we have anticipated so you don’t wanna miss this show. James Holloway can be reached at: jas.holloway@earthlink.net

Juanita Dillard sits down with attorney James Holloway, Esq. for a funny, frank conversation about funerals, Social Security timing, 401(k)s and Roth IRAs, and how to find a financial advisor who actually has your best interest at heart.

Setting a Lighthearted Tone for Retirement Talk
Juanita Dillard opens the episode by explaining why she started the podcast: she likes to talk, share information, and keep serious subjects light. She frames today's topic, retirement, as something people dread but says she wants to approach it with humor instead of dread. She introduces her guest, James Holloway, Esq., praising his unexpected sense of humor and warning listeners that a Wi-Fi disconnection interrupts the interview partway through, so the conversation will noticeably drop off and then pick back up. Dillard previews the ground she and Holloway plan to cover: what to look for in someone who helps with retirement decisions, what age is a good one to start planning, whether Social Security will still be there, and, only half joking, whether Mama will still be able to eat steak instead of tuna fish. She closes the cold open with the show's tagline before bringing James into the conversation.

A Comic Detour Into Funeral Planning
Back from the break, Dillard welcomes listeners to what she calls a retirement 101 course and reintroduces James Holloway, Esq. She talks about her sister, whom she calls her shero, who retired in her fifties and inspired Dillard to think about scaling back her own workload, even though she loves what she does. The conversation slides into a long, comic riff on funerals: Dillard says when she dies she wants a proper memorial with food, champagne, and a pastor bragging about her, not a bargain casket people whisper about. Holloway plays along, imagining mourners asking whether that was all she could afford or why there was only one limousine. Dillard recalls that her own mother planned her funeral down to the potato salad, banning raisins on pain of returning to haunt the family. The exchange sets a warm, joking tone before the two turn to the serious business of retirement planning.

Why Everyone Needs a Retirement Strategy
Asked directly why a retirement plan matters, Holloway tells Dillard that retirement only happens once, so there is no do-over if someone waits too long to start saving. He says the biggest mistake he sees is people failing to build a real strategy, paraphrasing the old line that people do not plan to fail, they fail to plan. Dillard turns the conversation personal, noting she has no children and only her sister to leave anything to, and asks whether she should sell her paid-down house for a low-maintenance condo or keep doing her own yard work. Holloway says the real starting point is always a sit-down conversation about goals, finances, and how long someone can keep working, since some jobs become impossible at a certain age while others allow decades of consulting. He warns that selling a long-held home can trigger capital gains taxes unless the sale is structured carefully, a detail Dillard had not considered before asking.

Picking a Trustworthy Fiduciary Advisor
Holloway steers the conversation toward how to choose financial help, telling Dillard he has spent thirty years competing against advisors who are really just selling products for a commission. He describes annuities and other instruments dressed up as advice when they actually carry high fees, years-long lockups, and penalties for withdrawing one's own money, and says people rarely read the fine print closely enough to catch it. His advice is to seek a certified financial planner or, more specifically, someone with a fiduciary designation through FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, since a fiduciary is bound to act in the client's best interest rather than their own. He compares it to getting three quotes before hiring a contractor, urging listeners to seek recommendations from people they trust rather than picking an advisor at random. Dillard agrees, noting a friend had told her the same thing after hearing Holloway's advice secondhand, which is part of what convinced her to book him for the show.

Retirement Accounts and Social Security Timing
After a brief call disconnection that the two joke about on air, Holloway walks through the mechanics of retirement accounts. He urges listeners to max out an employer 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan, at least up to any employer match, then explains the difference between a traditional IRA, which reduces taxable income now but taxes withdrawals later, and a Roth IRA, named for a former Delaware senator, which taxes contributions up front but lets savings grow and come out completely tax-free with no required withdrawal age. Dillard asks about Social Security, and Holloway explains that benefits shrink for every year someone claims before their full retirement age, historically sixty-seven and a half, while waiting increases the payout, though seventy is when withdrawals become mandatory. When Dillard asks about becoming disabled before retirement, he clarifies that falls under Social Security disability, or SSI, with benefits depending on the specific disability, prompting another round of the pair's running jokes about Capitol Hill and lost minds.

Lifestyle Adjustments and a Promise to Return
Holloway shares an observation from thirteen years of advising government retirees: almost everyone who retires in their fifties or sixties with a comfortable pension ends up back working within a few years, because even a healthy six-figure nest egg does not stretch as far as their old salary once they keep traveling, golfing, and attending conventions and jazz festivals the way they always did. Dillard laughs that she relates, describing her own swings between feeling flush and eating tuna instead of steak. She jokes about James's astrological sign, noting that Leos, like her own sister, tend to be careful savers unlike herself, then wraps the interview, thanking Holloway and praising his unexpected sense of humor. She promises to bring him back for a second conversation focused on long-term healthcare costs and whether policies like Aflac are worth buying, and he agrees readily. The episode closes with Dillard, speaking as herself, thanking listeners for supporting the show's second season and asking them to share it with friends.

The Medical Intuitive Miracle Show with Kimberly Meredith

Fairy Wisdom And Oracle Readings From The Enchanted Realms With Karen Kay

Medical intuitive Kimberly Meredith welcomes bestselling Hay House author and self-described "fairy whisperer" Karen Kay to talk about her new Enchanted Realms Oracle deck, and the two give live fairy-card readings to callers phoning in from Corona, Toronto, and beyond.

Kimberly Opens With The Fifth Dimension
Kimberly Meredith opens the Medical Intuitive Miracle Show by welcoming listeners into what she calls the magical fifth dimension, guiding everyone through a breathing exercise meant to bring in peace, love, and non-judgmental awareness. She reminds callers of the show's phone number and tells the audience that the program is celebrating its eighth year on the air. Kimberly then introduces tonight's guest, bestselling Hay House author Karen Kay, describing her as a fairy whisperer who has spent her whole life connecting with fairies, mermaids, and the spirits of nature. She notes Karen's UK television appearances, her feature in Hello! Magazine and on the BBC Late Show, and her family link to fairy poet Walter de la Mare. Kimberly holds up Karen's brand-new deck, The Enchanted Realms Oracle, saying it gives her tingles all over her body, and welcomes Karen warmly onto the show.

Karen Kay Traces Her Path Back To A Childhood Garden
Karen Kay, calling in from the middle of the night in the UK, tells Kimberly Meredith that her connection to the fairy realm began in her grandmother's rose garden when she was a small child. She recalls gathering fallen rose petals, mashing them with water into a makeshift perfume, and leaving the offering out overnight for the fairies, who she says always seemed to receive it by morning. She describes perceiving the fairies as tiny points of colorful, dancing light, an experience she never questioned as a child and that has stayed with her ever since. Karen explains that a UK television host first gave her the title fairy whisperer, and that the name fits because her communication with fairies is telepathic, much like the way mediums speak with souls who have passed on. She adds that angels and occasional visiting spirits of the deceased sometimes appear during her readings as well.

Inside The Enchanted Realms Oracle Deck
Karen tells Kimberly about her fifth oracle deck, The Enchanted Realms Oracle, a 44-card set featuring many kinds of elemental beings beyond fairies, including pixies, dryads, naiads, a mermaid, hybrid fairy angels and mer-fairies, a friendly troll, pegasus, unicorns, snow fairies, and centaurs. She highlights the Ghillie Dhu, a Scottish green man of the forest who represents woodland spirits worldwide, and the Shapeshifter card, inspired by 1980s fantasy films, which speaks to how fairies and people alike can transform themselves, whether by appearing as an insect or simply dressing up for a night out. Karen explains that every card comes with a detailed guidebook entry so readers can look up its full meaning. She credits artist Catrina Cotess for the deck's artwork, and Kimberly, holding a copy on air, says she gets tingles just from touching it, calling the deck absolutely amazing.

How The Fairy Messages Arrive
Karen describes how her card meanings come through meditation and quiet moments outdoors, saying she connects most easily sitting among trees and streams, though messages also arrive just before waking or falling asleep, when she keeps a notepad by her bed. She says the fairies get excited whenever they sense a chance to communicate, gathering around much as spirits do during mediumship readings. Kimberly points out Karen's signature reading style, in which cards seem to jump or fly out of the deck on their own during every session, comparing it to her own habit of blinking while receiving spirit messages. Karen agrees this happens every single time she shuffles, whether one card slides out or several, and invites listeners to see it for themselves on her Instagram videos. She also shares upcoming appearances, including a workshop in Penzance, a London event in Notting Hill, and a Mind Body Spirit expo in Birmingham.

Fairy Card Readings For Three Callers
After the break, Kimberly opens the phone lines, and Karen pulls cards live for three listeners. For Yvonne in Corona, California, the Crystal Fairies card emerges, and Karen ties it to Yvonne's love of amethyst, while Kimberly adds that she senses Yvonne moving toward healing work guided by someone who has passed over. For Pam in Toronto, the Selkie card appears, prompting Karen to speak about shedding protective layers to reveal one's true self, which Kimberly connects to a longstanding need for acceptance within Pam's family. For Leah, the Cobweb Fairy card comes out, and Karen encourages her to make more time for creative pursuits such as painting or filmmaking, telling her that her message-driven film work will spread widely, including through the internet. Each caller expresses gratitude, and Kimberly repeatedly praises Karen for how precisely her card pulls seem to match what Kimberly is separately sensing about each person.

A Closing Message Of Hope For The Planet
Near the end of the hour, Karen pulls one final card for the whole audience, and the Glimmer of Hope emerges, matching the cover of her deck. She describes the fairy holding an orb of hope and reminds listeners to keep faith through difficult circumstances. Karen shares personal news, revealing she will take a year off from her Three Wishes Fairy Festival after twenty years of running it, planned travel including a cruise with her mother to the Norwegian fjords, and her youngest son's upcoming wedding. She also mentions her book Fairy Whispering and its practical exercises for connecting with nature spirits. Asked for a final message, Karen says the fairies want everyone to remember they are part of nature, urging small everyday actions such as picking up litter and swapping harsh household chemicals for gentler alternatives, since everything eventually returns through the waterways. Kimberly closes the show thanking Karen warmly and telling listeners she is magical.
