Kim Fields (The Upshaws, Living Single, The Facts of Life) and I reconnect after a few years and get right down to powerful and meaningful insights on everything from Kim's detail-oriented personality and her incredible mission to make something amazing of her life (and oh wow, did she!) to why breathing, acknowledgment and light are so important.

You'll hear about entrepreneurship endeavors, coffee, Kim's Refresh wellness retreats, broadcasting and internship, Kim's multi-hyphenate work on The Upshaws (Netflix).

We talk about our mutual friend Todd Bridges and a powerful emotional reaction Kim had to the recent Diff'rent Strokes reunion. Kim opens up about not wanting to be a "has been, child star statistic" and what she's still working on in her personal life.

You'll hear thoughts on parenting and balance and the high wire act so many of us do.

Plus I analyze Kim a bit at times. Because, you know, I'm a therapist and that's how I roll. And I'm pretty sure it's a good thing here.
