Inside Influence

Chef Rosie once described her father's taquito-making as watching "a genius Mexican MacGyver" work, and that sense of wonder never left her. She is the owner and chef behind Lady R Bistro, a French, Creole, and Mexican-inspired restaurant in the Sun City district of Menifee, where she has spent close to fifteen years turning her family's culinary history into a full-blown craft. Chef Rosie has cooked professionally since 2010, competed on Food Network, worked with Cooking Channel, and built a menu she calls "whimsical" precisely because it refuses to sit inside one genre. In this conversation, she talks about growing up a latchkey kid learning to cook for her younger brother, the spark she inherited from her father's restaurants, and why she believes a kitchen should feel like coming home.

Chef Rosie shares the story behind her signature Papardelle Fiore, born from a memory of her early restaurant days, and opens up about "Letter to My Nieces," her upcoming cookbook built around the advice she wishes someone had given her in her twenties. She talks candidly about leadership, about staying calm when the barbecue catches fire mid-service, and about letting her kitchen staff listen to Frank Sinatra and Nirvana in equal measure. Whether she is describing her love of a plain bowl of spaghetti or the safe, feminine space she built at Lady R Bistro, Chef Rosie keeps circling back to one idea: cooking is never just about the food.

What happens when science, spirituality, leadership, and healing all collide in one conversation? In this deeply powerful episode, Dr. Kim Redman opens up about the hard-earned lessons that transformed the way she leads, lives, and sees the world — from overcoming trauma to redefining feminine power through boundaries, alignment, and self-worth.

Dr. Kim dives into quantum healing, neuroscience, feminine leadership, and the “esteem zone” that keeps so many people stuck.  There are moments that feel deeply personal, moments that challenge everything we think we know about growth, and reminders that true leadership is never about perfection — it’s about learning how to believe in yourself before the world does.

Lisa Nichols spent twelve years in school believing she was unintelligent, only learning at twenty-five that she is functionally dyslexic. She built that reckoning into Motivating the Masses and became one of the featured expert teachers in the original film The Secret. Twenty years later, Nichols joins Inside Influence for Los Angeles Tribune Leadership Week to talk about her role in Pillars of Power: The Hidden Secret Behind Achieving Greatness, covering the full weight of leadership, the discipline of consistent action, and what it takes to ask for support when confidence runs low.

Nichols compares leadership to a T-shirt with the word "leader" printed on the front and a bullseye on the back, one she wears whole on the good days and the hard ones. She traces that resolve to her grandmother's question, "Did you forget what you were made of?" and to years spent borrowing other people's view of her until she could hold it herself. She walks into every room now deciding the temperature before the room decides it for her. "This room is not a bonus for you," she says. "This room is a result of your choices."

What happens when someone who survived war, loss, and impossible odds chooses gratitude over bitterness? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Emily Letran opens up about escaping Vietnam after the war, losing her mother at just eight years old, and building a life fueled by courage, faith, and purpose. Her story is more than inspiring — it’s a reminder that resilience is not something you’re born with, it’s something you choose, one moment at a time.

From transforming healthcare to redefining success beyond money and status, Dr. Emily shares the deeply personal lessons that shaped her mission to help others find fulfillment before burnout destroys them. This episode of Inside Influence reveals the mindset behind true leadership, the courage it takes to follow the “knock on the door” toward your purpose, and why gratitude may be the most powerful force we have.

Every leader is carrying something beneath the surface, and it is quietly shaping every decision they make. Jerry Sargeant, globally recognized energy healer, speaker, and founder of Star Magic Healing, joins Inside Influence to talk about what really drives leadership from the inside out. Jerry gets into the childhood wounds that follow people into the boardroom, why nervous system regulation matters more than confidence, and how a leader's internal state ripples through an entire team.

Jerry speaks candidly about his own abandonment wounding as a child and how it once drove him to make business decisions from a place of lack and fear of rejection. He walks through his own morning practice, a cold shower, breath work, and hours of stillness before he speaks to anyone, and explains why he calls a leader the hub of the wheel. When that hub is steady, he says, the whole business moves with it. When it is not, everyone around the leader feels the wobble.

What started as an interview quickly turned into a raw and emotional conversation about survival, healing, and finding your worth again. Ann Landstrom opens up about surviving abuse, homelessness, heartbreak, and the moments that forced her to rebuild herself from the ground up. Her story is vulnerable, powerful, and impossible not to connect with.

Now, after everything she’s lived through, she’s helping other women rediscover their confidence, their voice, and their power. This episode is honest, emotional, inspiring — and a reminder that sometimes the women who look the strongest are the ones who fought the hardest battles in silence.

A property manager spent three years feeling drained by everyone around her, unaware that the work she was about to begin would end with her mother telling her, for the first time in fifty-three years, that she loved her.

Kim Le, known as the Master Heart Healer and a wealth mindset coach with more than three decades of experience, joins Los Angeles Tribune Leadership Week 2026 to explain how she traces money struggles, strained relationships, and physical health back to unresolved generational trauma. She walks through her process for helping clients heal old wounds so they can build what she calls three-sixty abundance across their finances, relationships, and wellbeing. Kim also shares news of her upcoming role in Pillars of Power: The Money Matrix, the documentary from LAT Productions that places her alongside Jack Canfield, Sharon Lechter, and Ken Honda.

The conversation keeps returning to that one client, a property manager who spent a year working with Kim to untangle decades of rejection from her mother, who had long favored her brother. As that relationship healed, her income grew by roughly forty percent, and she and her mother now talk for hours at a time. For Kim, raising three children as a single mother while building this work has become its own quiet proof that what we inherit does not have to decide what comes next.

What does it take to spend 35 years in Hollywood digging into the raw emotion of some of the biggest names in film — Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore among them — and come out with a code of integrity completely intact? In this conversation, Bobbie Chance, Hollywood acting coach to the stars and director of the acclaimed pilot The Fixer, speaks with co-director Angela Kung about boundaries, self-trust, and what it truly means to honor the life you were built to live.

Chance brings warmth, wit, and decades of hard-won wisdom to this episode — from the losses she would choose all over again, to the moment a daughter's words about self-love stopped everything cold. The conversation is candid, joyful, and quietly profound, with a message that lands for women at every stage: stop waiting for permission, and get back to yourself.

Every year, thousands of people fall into homelessness after a single untreated crisis, and most never find their way back out. Pastor Troy Vaughn, founder of the Restoration Family Worship Center and author of From Skid Row to CEO, joins Dawna Campbell to talk about the seven years he spent living on the streets and how that experience became the foundation for Christ-centered Ministries, the nonprofit he built to serve nearly 400 employees and thousands of families across Los Angeles County.

Pastor Troy shares the story behind his own collapse, a father lost to addiction, an untreated mental health crisis in the Marine Corps, and the cardboard box on Skid Row where he finally surrendered to God. He also opens up about the seven failed attempts to change before the one that finally took, the hard work of repairing the harm his addiction caused his mother, and the leadership lesson patience it took him decades in ministry to learn.
