KCAA: Get Balanced with Dr. Marissa (Fri, 10 Apr, 2026)

April 10, 2026·1 hr·5 clips

Dr. Marissa promises a headline-free show for 726 weeks to avoid the 'four A's' of anger and anxiety.

The host starts by saying there are no headlines here, then moves through KCAA housekeeping, a quick reset after a scattered morning, and her promise to spread hope and happiness wherever the show streams. The gossip gets parked. She points listeners back to their own reality show, where the goal is not scandal but feeling happy 88 percent of the time. Ricky may be delayed. The opening keeps rolling anyway, with travel mentions, red-carpet spillover, green-carpet phrasing, and the patience of someone steering live radio in real time. Then the bigger reset lands. A rush of questions turns the old childhood script about growing up into a challenge to the belief systems that push people toward schools they cannot afford, majors chosen too early, jobs they hate, and approval from everyone else. It is warm, but it has bite. The host asks whether school pressure, expensive choices, early majors, and rat-race language start shaping people before they even know themselves. The point gets clear fast. Business control, imbalance, and careers built around someone else's dream are treated like browser cookies to delete, not life sentences to honor. Pandemic lessons sit close by. The hard reset becomes social, personal, and spiritual, with world peace starting in a quieter okayness with the self. Self-care is not framed as escape. It is part of how people stop thrashing and start helping. Body, mind, and soul stay in the center because the host ties inner value to responsibility, relationships, and seeing value in other people too. It is a lot, and that is the texture: station IDs, syndicated news, personal detours, and one long self-esteem sermon riding the same morning-radio current. The close snaps back to radio. NBC News Radio headlines about prices, inflation, and an investigation involving OpenAI and ChatGPT give way to the KCAA Loma Linda signoff promising the unexpected.

As heard by us

A reflective reset on self-worth, purpose, and the habits that shape a life.

Dr. Marissa turns the segment into a plainspoken argument for self-worth, purpose, and the right to choose a path on personal terms. The repeated what-if pattern keeps the message moving, tying self-care, responsibility, and social imbalance to familiar pressure instead of…
