Cindie Chavez is taking the next couple months off as a kind of sabbatical, so Walt invited Monique Scott to fill in for her in the interim.

Monique was a guest on the show a couple of weeks ago, and she really impressed everyone.

So asking her to join the team was a no-brainer, and she made it even easier by immediately giving us an enthusiastic, "Yes!"

We started by reading a letter from listener Deborah talking about what she liked about Monday's show.

Then we got into an extended discussion about the importance of building self-love, and this opened the door to reveal a number of surprising similarities in Walt's and Monique's backgrounds and experiences, including the fact that they both roomed with drug dealers in college!

This was a great first official episode with Monique, who is going to work into the team here on LOA Today really well.
