Over a decade later, the horror classic Timber Falls is being made available on @screamboxtv on April 14th! Screambox is a channel on its own, or you can easily add via @primevideo. I have many, many, many stories I could share of my adventure in Romania shooting this crazy movie, and all the wonderful people I met because of it. If you like horror, it’s worth watching me scream, fall, get bloody, and kick some a$$. 👊🏽
What is one small act of kindness you can do today? ✨ Kindness causes a ripple effect, spreading through everyone around you. When you feel stuck, unmotivated, or discouraged, reach out in grace and note how it shifts your mindset and resets your day. Everyone wants to be heard and acknowledged. The simple act of really seeing someone, listening to learn and try understand, as well as smiling with acceptance, can help bring people toward you. In a world that continues to be more tribal, oppositional, blaming, and separated, how can you lean into love and embrace those around you with the same compassion you desire? . . .

I 💗 this quote and here is why… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Growing up, I was subtly told that self-care was self-indulgent. That the better thing to do was to take care of others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Needless to say, that was definitely the wrong messaging. While I’m all about supporting others, it took years to learn to properly speak up, set healthy boundaries, and give to myself first. When life forced me to heal myself with severe health issues, I realized that this misguided approach I was taught is backwards. To love others, we must fully love and care for ourselves. Otherwise they get scraps. Or have to be the ones taking care of us because we can no longer take care of ourselves. And that is actually more selfish! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We get to to take up space. We get to put our oxygen mask on first in all the ways. We get to be healthy and thrive and be happy. We get to deserve to be loved and deeply receive love and support in return. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to know if you have trouble caring for yourself? Next time someone gives you a compliment, do you receive it or brush it off? Do you give more to your relationships than you receive? Do you give yourself the time and space to put yourself together in the morning to feel your best? At the end of the day, do you often find yourself depleted and resentful for all that you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If so, then perhaps it’s time to readjust and prioritize you, your happiness, health, wealth, and most importantly, your time and energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Something to brew on…
It’s not too late to REVITALIZE & MANIFEST YOUR MISSION with us in a one-day Mini Retreat! 🌸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MAY 20th | 10AM-4PM I’ve co-created an incredible retreat with my dear friend, Andrea Bogart (@andreabogart) – former General Hospital co-star and longtime @thenewhollywoodofficial volunteer. You’ll revitalize and rejuvenate yourself, discover how to Manifest Your Mission, and continue to refine the path of the life you want to live. This is a wonderful Mother’s Day gift and seasonal pause to open up and blossom more, so you can fully spring into spring! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spend the day at the @chateausonoma Farm, aka @5thstreetfarm, practicing self-care through a mindful yoga practice with Andrea, meditative wandering through the lush gardens, a farm-to-table lunch prepared by Chef Kyle (@akylek), sound healing with @sacred_body_alchemy, and learning how to Manifest your Mission with me! Space is limited. $375.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more specific details and the schedule for the day, please see Andrea’s linktr.ee on her profile (@andreabogart) or Chateau Sonoma’s site. We hope you can join us!
I 💗 this quote and here is why… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First of all, Maya Angelou’s quotes are always on point, profound, and soaked in wisdom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember growing up trying to fit in. Trying to sit at the cool lunch table, trying to be accepted by the “popular” crowd, and wanting to be accepted by my peers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When life threw me in another direction, it forced me to see how silly that need for acceptance through other’s eyes really was. One’s self esteem should not be dictated by others! Trying to fit in and be normal is boring, and sheep-like vs. being a shepherd. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dimming oneself to fit the mold of “acceptable” that is crafted by… what? Advertising and media? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So many folks think they are being original, but they are only regurgitating what has been brainwashed onto them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe we all have unique gifts blessed upon us. Our job is to peel back the layers and embody them fully. To live life without regret and allow ourselves to be amazingly who we were meant to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perhaps today, choose to throw your shoulders back, look folks in the eye, smile with each breath, and choose to let go of limited conditioning and instead shine bright! 🌟
Love bringing badass folks together to support each other’s mission. And I’ve been doing it since 2006! Here are some behind-the-scenes images from this year’s TNH/MYM Mastermind Accountability Group and a handful of previous @thenewhollywoodofficial pics. Many of these badass changemakers volunteer to support the TNH programs such as TNH Accountability Program, which supports formerly homeless moms with goals, grants and mentorship! When positive, proactive people come together, profound results manifest! ✨ If you are interested in joining email us at [email protected] https://mym.briannabrownkeen.com/product/mastermind-group/
I 💗 this quote and here is why… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about it, how often do you give your power away to those not worthy of your precious life force? Perhaps in small ways, like indulging in FOMO when scrolling other’s filtered highlight reels? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or in bigger circumstances, such as life rejections that are trying to lead you downstream in another direction. Where in time it is revealing your true tribe and who to let go of, pain that later awakens purpose, and your next steps to manifesting your mission. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have struggled with this throughout my life. Giving too much attention and energy to the wrong things. And, on the flip side, choosing to be laser-focused on what I do want and co-creating it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, perhaps try checking in with yourself and where you are putting your attention. Why? Because, “There is power in whatever you give power.”
I 💗 this quote and here is why… As far as any of us know so far, we only have this one life. Why let fear of what could happen prevent us from taking bold steps toward what we desire? The greatest things I’ve achieved require fearlessness, or embracing the fear anyway – even when it was seemingly terrifying. By befriending fear, I’ve learned to know the difference between real, life-threatening fear versus fear of perception. ‘Cause really… who cares what others think! As Bob Proctor said, most people don’t think. We just hope they think! But in reality, everyone is their own lead in their storyline. And falling down is part of growing and expanding. It’s like the quote I also love that says: the difference between a master and a beginner is that a master has failed more times than a beginner has even tried. Be bold. Bold in love, bold in following your dreams, bold in living your truth and purpose. I hope this April blooms dancing with uncomfortable feelings and taking daring action even when paralyzed with fear. You got this! Let’s all spring into spring! 🌹🌺🌷💕👊🏽💗🙏🏽🌸💕
I 💗 this quote and here is why… Over the decades I’ve learned that perspective is everything. Looking at a situation from another point of view, choosing to learn from the obstacles rather than be defined by them. Listening to learn and being open to the inevitable waves of change. “What if… everything you’re going through is preparing you for what you asked for?” – Unknown I love this quote because in looking back and connecting the dots, I have learned to have faith that what I think I want often isn’t what I need. But if I trust, pay attention, and be diligent in moving forward, I often reflect back with gratitude because it actually was exactly what I needed. Hope this quote brings some of y’all some peace today to trust the process of life and only try to control the controllable. 💗🙏🏽👊🏽
