You may recognize Hollywood actress Michelle Hurd from her roles on Star Trek: Picard, Jessica Jones, Daredevil or Law & Order: SVU, just to name a few. Or you may know her from her explosive role as Shepherd on Blindspot, where she and I met! Amidst her surprisingly busy schedule, Michelle took a few hours to chat with me for Episode 6. We covered everything from dyslexia, to her involvement in martial arts (that helped her get out of some trouble during her teen years), to her favorite delicious vegan dishes including her version of – wait for it – “Shepherd’s” Pie (…get it?). She also reveals some exclusive advice EVERY actor needs to hear. Michele is so gracious and an all-around amazing human being, and I know you’ll enjoy listening to her as much as I enjoyed chatting with her.

Today's guest is a CrossFit Games athlete, business owner and mother of (very) soon to be three - MIRANDA ALCARAZ. Miranda tells stories of competing, coaching, extreme recovery, and the start of her business and passion - Street Parking. Five years later, Street Parking has become so much more than she and  co-owner and husband Julian had ever dreamed. She explains why you don't need a gym or fancy equipment to get and stay fit for life - for YOUR life. Oh yeah. She also apparently makes a killer cinnamon roll...

Most recently noted for his work on the NBC show Blindspot as , the Amazon Series Red Oaks, and his reoccurring role on the multi-Emmy winning show Schitt’s Creek, actor Ennis Esmer dishes up some great conversation.  Heidi had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) in July to chat with him about his life, food, and the importance of staying connected in a time when connections look far different than they used to. He also made Heidi blush…a lot...  www.eleventhelement.com go to their store and enter discount code "heidi10" at checkout www.oliveoiljones.com enter discount code "hungry" at checkout www.pittstonketchup.com enter discount code "hungrystuntgirl" at checkout
