Hollie opens up about the moment she knew she had to get serious (hint: her husband said it was time to get their house back), why joy is the actual keyword driving every decision at Art Girls, and how grief and starting over can turn into building something entirely your own. A new chapter, a new collection, a new you. If you've ever had to rebuild from scratch and wondered if it was even worth it, this one's for you!

    Hollie Blanchard is the founder and owner of Art Girls, a gallery and studio in Excelsior, MN representing 16 local artists. Her love of art started young — reorganizing her Barbie store, rearranging her bedroom — and turned into an apparel design degree from the University of Minnesota, then a stint in NYC working for a celebrity stylist and in the jewelry industry, hunting flea markets and museums for extraordinary pieces. After meeting her husband, she moved back to Minnesota and eventually turned her home-based art habit into what's now Art Girls. For Hollie, art exists everywhere. She calls herself a concierge for finding that perfect piece, and believes every artist deserves their own lane, without competition.

    Aug 2 2026

    Kaley sits down with Dr. Dave Williams, DO, founder and medical director of GevityMed, to break down everything women need to know about peptides: what they are, the different types (from GLP-1 and insulin to BPC and copper peptides), and why they're not one-size-fits-all. They dig into the truth behind Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications, the biggest myths around them, and how weight loss and hormones shift as women age. Dr. Williams also calls out the biggest mistake women make when trying to lose weight, and shares his honest take on a wellness trend he'd skip entirely: fasting. If you've ever felt confused by the weight loss noise out there or wondered what's actually worth your time, this one's for you!

    Dr. Dave Williams, DO, is the founder and medical director of GevityMed, a Minnesota-based practice focused on longevity and performance-driven care. A Minnesota native and second-generation physician, he started his career as an EMT before building a career in emergency and critical care medicine, eventually leading key roles in cardiac critical care. In 2020, a personal health crisis shifted his focus toward root-cause medicine, prevention, and long-term health optimization. Through GevityMed, Dr. Williams partners with patients to deliver personalized care centered on clarity, performance, and lifelong wellness, bringing that same root-cause approach to the conversation around peptides, weight loss, and hormonal health.
