Carmit is such a special treat this week thanks to her openness about her journey being an original member of the Pussycat Dolls, her vulnerability with sharing her recent diagnosis of tinnitus, and even her unbelievable story as a dancer who worked with R&B superstar Aaliyah during her final music video shoot. Carmit allows me to connect about my past dance history and the power behind movement and dance. Carmit is the definition of TALENT!

Fellow actor Wolé Parks sure knows how to get me laughing through this intimate conversation! Wolé shares how important laughter, friendship and support really is during tough times. Many years of sobriety and inner work has taught Wolé so much including how to allow deep and complex emotions to be expressed through his performances on tv and film, especially as his newest character on Superman & Lois.

Childhood friends, Sage and Kendall, joined forces to create Frame, the amazing mental health platform that helps you along your therapy journey, every step of the way. I ask them every detail and question about how they help others with "matchmaking therapy". What to expect? Is there a right or wrong way to talk with a therapist? Is there someone you should say or not say to your therapist? All these questions and more are answered along with Sage and Kendall sharing their own personal experiences with therapy.

As a platform that connects people to therapy and brings awareness to mental health, Frame is on a mission to normalize the hard days and celebrate the good ones. Frame represents a community where people can learn, grown and find support through it all. From finding the right therapist to making progress in a session, Frame is here to help you through your therapy journey.

Zak finds it in his heart to share his incredibly open and brave mental health story this week. He shows me how we all have the opportunity to embrace what makes us uniquely ourselves. Grieving in the public eye about his father, Robin William's passing, self medicating and the origin story of my new favorite mood chews, PYM, are just a few of the topics we chat about…and don’t worry, we left room for warm laughs!
