  • Stripping with my daughter Alana - Anxiety, Depression and Addiction
    My 21-year-old daughter, Alana and I co-host once a month, while we strip it down and bare it all discussing topics from traditions to sex, divorce to depression, abuse to drug use and everything in between. With the perspective of the parent AND the child, both perspectives can be brought to the table simultaneously.

  • Culture shock, not fitting in, GED, date rape, getting pregnant and not wanting kids, abuse and fulfilling her dreams - with Pamela Smith
    Pam and I go deep on culture shock, music, speaking, trying out every type of high school, not fitting in anywhere, getting her GED on her 17th birthday, date rape, a Second Chance program that didn't work out, getting pregnant as someone who didn't want kids, burying two children, raising two others, leaving an abusive relationship and fulfilling her dreams (with more than one Masters) to help others in similar situations. It was an epic journey.

  • Reading comprehension issues, strict religion, ending a marriage, obsessing over weight, losing 7 people in 3 years and launching Couch to Active - with Lyn Lindbergh

    Lyn was such a blast, discussing how she completed college even though she had a horrible reading comprehension issue (spelling was tough too!). We discuss ending her relationship with a strict religion, ending her marriage, obsessing over her weight, going corporate over teaching because it paid well, how exercise marketing is bullshit, building self-esteem, and having second chances. Lyn calls 3 years in her 30's her "dirty 30's" because she experiences 7 deaths and the unraveling of her relationship.

  • Stripping With My Daughter Alana - Parenting Teens
    Today Alana and I discuss parenting teens. As a parent, I was not permissive but not restrictive. I trusted my kids even when I knew they were lying. They knew they could always come to me, although I wasn't always the first choice. They really relied on each other - which I love. Not all of them choose to communicate with each other or me, which is really hard to watch and feel. 
    We talked about sex, drugs, sneaking out, alcohol at 16, and birth control among other things.

  • A car accident and fathers death that changed the trajectory, watching Alzheimer's, becoming a leader and bestselling author at 23 - with Dom Brightmon
    I knew going into this podcast that we'd be laughing a lot and we won't disappoint. In the laughter, we discuss some tough topics. How a car accident altered Dom's life, how being a caretaker for his Dad who suffered from Alzheimer's was incredibly tough - especially his "stained glass eyes". We talk reading, work ethics, being in John Maxwell's leadership program, leading a toastmasters group at 23, falling apart, gaining weight and becoming better than before.
