Join me for a powerful new episode of A Spoonful of Paolo featuring daytime legend and Emmy Award winner Susan Lucci. I haven’t stopped thinking about this conversation since we taped it last week. Susan’s New York Times bestselling memoir, La Lucci, is beautiful, raw, and deeply truthful. I couldn’t wait to sit down with her to go even further into her extraordinary story. We talk about profound loss, grief, enduring love, and what it truly means to hold onto your dreams. I also treasured the opportunity to thank her for her unforgettable portrayal of Erica Kane during Bianca’s coming out storyline on All My Children— a groundbreaking moment that meant so much to so many in the LGBTQ+ community and those that love them. I hope you feel as moved and inspired by this conversation as I did. Enjoy the one and only La Lucci!

Here’s a HOT NEW A Spoonful of Paolo episode with actor, comedian, author, and Emmy winner Jeff Hiller! If you didn’t fall in love with him on HBO’s incredible Somebody Somewhere, it’s time to start watching immediately. This is a conversation I will truly never forget. Jeff’s story is raw, honest, relatable, and deeply inspiring. From being bullied as kids, to coming out to our parents, to losing our beloved moms and always dreaming BIG, our worlds felt beautifully—and cosmically—connected. Enjoy!

My heart broke this week when I heard about the passing of General Hospital icon Anthony Geary. So many of us remember where we were when his character, Luke, married Laura. I grew up watching this show with my mom and sister, and I still watch it every night with my husband Patrick. We had the honor of interviewing Anthony Geary back in May of 2015 when he was retiring from the show. When we released the episode, Anthony sent me a text thanking me. As you’ll hear in the intro, it’s something I hold dear to my heart and will never forget. I will always treasure this intimate, honest and beautiful conversation with one of the greats. We will all miss you, Anthony and my deepest condolences to Anthony’s husband, Claudio.

Discretion advised: This episode contains adult language. My interview with comedian, actor, and NYT bestselling author Leslie Jones is out today! This is truly one I will never forget. In this conversation, Leslie opens up about her new comedy special (which was taped the DAY after the election), how her big dreams took her to SNL, and her extraordinary grief journey with so much honesty and heart. I’m forever grateful for her vulnerability, her strength, and the beautiful energy she brought to this interview.

10 years ago, my husband and I went to see the incredible Danielle Brooks in Broadway’s The Color Purple.

My super fun, super special, and super heartfelt interview with the queen of surviving and thriving Michelle Buteau is out today! Michelle's story is beyond inspiring, and this small clip shows you how she did more than just manifest her dreams...she took charge of her life and ignored all the nay sayers. This A Spoonful of Paolo episode is bursting joy and love and a few surprises. I had so much fun talking with Michelle about her Oprah & Julia Child-inspired childhood to her stand up comedy to her hit Netflix show Survival of the Thickest! This will be an episode I will never forget because I walked away with a big boost of confidence and love for myself, and I hope you will too!
