Interviewing Tori Spelling  was a dream! Tori has been a staple on our small screens for decades, so for many (me!), it feels as if we are lifelong friends with the star. But the truth is we are actually just starting to get to know the real Tori. After a stint on The Masked Singer, she revealed how much people's preconceived notions of her had defined her. But the reality is she is so much more! We talked about Tori's newfound confidence, how she is instilling that in her kids, and how she keeps her family on track. Take a look at the full interview below.

Bethany:
Hi, and welcome back to another episode of The Breakdown with Bethany. I'm Bethany Braun-Silva, and today I'm going to be breaking it down with someone I've admired and really fan-girled over for a really long time, and that's Tori Spelling. Tori is a mother of five, an entrepreneur, a host, and of course, an actress. We love Tori, and I can't wait to dive into all things motherhood and her new show. Stay tuned.

Well, Tori, let's jump right in. You've had such a busy week between the Masked Singer and then your kids starting school yesterday. We have so much to cover, but I did want to start with the Masked Singer because I was so moved by your Instagram post, the one where you talk about how the Masked Singer brought you so much confidence. I know as a mother, especially, when we instill confidence in ourselves, it helps to instill confidence in our kids. Can you tell us a little bit about what that experience was like?

Tori Spelling:
Singing in public, singing and singing in public, and performing in public, huge fears. Lifelong fears of mine. I'm raising five kids, especially two really strong females. I really wanted to lead by example. When I started my journey working with Masked Singer, it was my biggest fear. I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I can't do this." Then I'm like, "Wait, no. You tell your girls that they can do anything and be anyone they want to be. You need to take on your biggest fear, and do it. Bad or good. Who knows what the outcome's going to be? You've got to dive in." The journey doing it has been so amazing because what I didn't realize is that it's not just singing and performing. It's actually being behind a mask....

 Joy Bauer, is one of the nation’s leading health authorities, and her name definitely suits her. She is the nutrition and healthy lifestyle expert for the TODAY show and the host of NBC’s Health + Happiness, and I got a chance to talk to her about one of my own parenting challenges: kids and food. 

In the interview, Joy offers up tips for healthy eating (hint: protein is key) and how to navigate the grocery store with kids. Her tips are invaluable! Check out the full interview!

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Breakdown with Bethany. I'm Bethany Braun-Silva and today my guest is Joy Bauer. You've probably seen Joy on The Today Show where she's doling out tips and tricks on how to stay healthy. We're going to be talking about sending kids back to school and all the meal prep that goes with it. She's also going to be sharing some healthy, easy meal recipes for parents and also telling us how we can navigate the supermarket stress-free. So stay tuned.
All right, well, Joy, first of all I have to say I'm such a fan. I love your segments on The Today Show. I am constantly just trying to keep up with you, sort of aspire to all your healthy tips and tricks. But I am a mom of two so sometimes that is incredibly hard, especially as we're gearing up to head back to school. One of the things that sends me into a spiral is having to prepare meals for two kids and I know you have some tips for that. So what do you have to say about meal-prepping as we head back to school?

Joy Bauer:
Well so many people share the chaos of exactly what you described. And my kids are older right now. So I have three kids but oh boy, I vividly remember those hairy, scary moments like in the morning. Also, what are you going to make for dinner sort of thing. And I think the number one solution that is so incredibly helpful is to preplan. So I'm just going to put that out there. And I know people are probably thinking, oh my God, another thing to put on the to-do list but I'm telling you, if you get ahead of it, it just makes life that much more simpler and seamless and it's going to be a game-changer for you for sure.
So today, I'm really excited because I'm here as the dean of the protein prep school talking about eggs...

Bethany Braun-Silva: Let’s jump in and tell me about the Colgate Smile Fund and why this was a good partnership, a good fit for you to team up with.

Cobie Smulders: Well, first of all, you know good dental hygiene has always been in my life because my father was a dentist, and so, I don’t have a cavity. First of all, I don’t have a single cavity. So, toothpaste works, guys, and so that’s one thing. But yeah, so it’s always been in my world, I’ve always had awareness of it, I’ve always known its importance. I’ve like used Colgate for like my entire adult life. So when they came to me, I was so happy to first of all just to promote their brand because it’s a brand that I use and again, like going back to just being good about dental hygiene, I love it.

Yeah, leave it right by their plate. All right. Well, we are live in all the places.

Oh, great. Excited to be here.

Yeah. Welcome to MomCave LIVE, where we may have lost our minds, but we haven’t lost our sense of humor. I’m Jen and I’m here with the very humorous Elizabeth. Elizabeth wrote a book that we’re gonna talk about that is gonna save all of your asses, I think. This is it.

Yeah, that’s it.

It’s Don’t Be A Pusi, A Politically Incorrect Book for Entitled Teens and Their Traumatized Parents.

Oh, I know. It’s a tough title. It’s a tough title, but it does digest eventually. Yeah.

Yeah, well, you know, there’s a page in the very beginning of the book that shows the root of this word pusi, P U S I. Can you explain that?

Yeah, so pusillanimous means someone who lacks conviction and wherewithal and intuitiveness and all the things that the expression, don’t be a pussy, what we know today, means. So I kind of used that word once as a joke with my son and I was, oh, sorry about that. I used that once I really had one of those parenting moments where I just had enough and I kind of went, oh, for God’s sake, just don’t be a pussy. Now they kind of burst into laughter. They kind of laughed. It wasn’t like the traumatizing effect you would imagine that it would have on some kids, but no, they were teenage boys. So they were like, are you serious? So, and I realized, wow, I’m speaking their language, right? This is the language of a teenage boy. And he heard me, he laughed but he heard me, and it kind of became a family thing. It became ...

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Welcome back to another episode of The Breakdown With Bethany. I’m Bethany Braun-Silva, and today my guest is actress, author, host, chef, mom, Tiffani Thiessen. I’m such a fan of Tiffani, so I was really excited about the opportunity to talk to her. In this conversation, we’re going to be talking about the importance of the meningitis vaccine for preteens and teens. It’s a lot more important than you may have thought. We’re also going to be talking about how parents can stay present with their kids, and I’ll give you a hint…. Tiffani wrote a book all about it. You’re definitely going to want to check this one out.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Hi, Tiffani. Thank you so much for joining me. I’m really, really excited that you’re here, but I wanted jump right in because this is a really important topic and you have a lot of important information to share. So tell us all, why you decided to partner with the “It’s About Time” Initiative.

Tiffani Thiessen:
Yes. Well, Leslie’s actually with the National Meningitis Association and I think both of us being parents, of course, and being moms, we’re here to spread the word about how it’s important to really do anything we can to help protect our children. And that’s why we’re here.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
And you have Harper, what is she almost 11?

Tiffani Thiessen:
She’s actually almost 12.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Almost 12.

Tiffani Thiessen:
My daughter actually got her first dose of MenACWY, it’s a mouthful. She actually got it last year right after she turned 11, which is the recommended age for CDC for the first dose, and the second dose is actually at 16. And sadly we’ve been seeing that the numbers have dropped a lot and so that’s why we’re trying to make it a big awareness of how important it is. Leslie has a very deep story with her about...

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Hi, and welcome back to another episode of The Breakdown with Bethany. My name is Bethany Braun-Silva, and today my guests are Callie Christensen and Kelly Oriard. They’re the co-founders and co-CEOs of Slumberkins, which is a children’s brand dedicated to helping parents support their children’s emotional learning. And while you might not see this episode for quite some time, today is May 25th, 2022 a day after 19 children and two teachers were gunned down in Uvalde, Texas. I’m going to be talking to Callie and Kelly about how we can help our children through times of trauma. I know this is just a minor speck in what I could possibly be doing to give back here, but I hope you enjoy the episode. I hope you take something away from it. And if you can please head over to Mom’s Demand Action or Everytown for Gun Safety to donate. Enough is enough.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
I really do appreciate you both being here with me. I have been a fan of this brand for quite some time, and actually we’ve met in person in New York City. And I know you had a lot of things cooking back then, so I can wait to get into it. But for people who don’t know, tell us what Slumberkins is all about.

Callie Christensen:
Yeah. Slumberkins is an emotional wellness brand for families that deliver therapeutic tools through the form of publishing and plush, and content, and try to just meet families where they are in their emotional development journey. And right now it shows up through our cute cuddly characters like Bigfoot that helps promote self-esteem, Yeti that promotes mindfulness. We have an alpaca for stress relief. All of the different characters are kind of mascots of these different emotional pillars.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
And what sort of like, how did you guys get started in this? Because it seems like so necessary. Right. But then what was, I guess my question really is what was the initial inspiration? And then what was the evolution like to the plushies and the books? Like, why did you choose that route?...

Jen: Welcome to “MomCave LIVE,” where we may have lost our minds but we haven’t lost our senses of humor. I’m Jen from “MomCave,” and my guest this week is Tiffany Hamilton, who I’m gonna call a “mompreneur.” Is that how you would pronounce it?

Tiffany Hamilton: Yes.

Jen: A mompreneur. She is the founder and CEO of Victor Wear, and it’s an amazing company. We’re gonna talk all about her mission and why it’s important. Welcome, Tiffany.

Tiffany Hamilton: Oh, thank you. Thanks so much for having me. Happy to be here.

Jen: Thanks for being here and dealing with all of the technical issues that we always seem to have

Tiffany Hamilton: No worries.

Inspirational Activewear
Jen: Tiffany, can you tell everybody how the idea for your company came about?

Tiffany Hamilton: Yes, so I’m actually the co-founder. My son is actually a founder. He is 15, he has high functioning autism, and this is an idea that we’ve had for a while. He’s very artistic, so originally we were thinking, “Oh,” you know, “We should do T-shirts with your art,” and he’s kind of grown out of that. And the idea has evolved into inspirational activewear. So it’s something we’ve been planning for a while, and we just decided to just do it.

Jen: Just do it.

Tiffany Hamilton: And launch in April. But the whole idea now is around empowering people with disabilities and really creating economic opportunities. As I mentioned, my son, 15, he’ll actually be 16 very soon, next week.

Jen: Wow.

Creating Opportunities For Teens And Adults With Autism
Tiffany Hamilton: And yeah, so, you know, getting very close to the working world and I want to create opportunities for him and for other autistic adults and teens because the unemployment rate in the disability community is really staggering. Like there’s, you know, 85% of people with developmental disabilities are unemployed.

Jen: Wow.

Tiffany Hamilton: And I don’t want that to be my son. That shouldn’t be anyone. It infuriates....

Hello, world, welcome to “MomCave LIVE” where we may have lost our minds, but we haven’t lost our sense of humor. I’m Jen, and I have two guests today because they are the cohosts of the podcast, “Circling the Drain.” And “Circling the Drain” is… Let me see if I get your tagline right.

Okay.

It’s about the period before you stop getting your period.

That’s perfect.

That is correct, that’s exactly perfect.

It’s brilliant, did you hire a copywriter for that?

That’s me.

No, yeah. Can I say that any brilliant tagline that comes out of anything that we do is all Ellie. It’s got nothing to do with me and we didn’t hire a professional, Ellie is the professional.

Thanks, Julia.

Well, that’s what I love about Ellie, she’s clever, she has her way with words and some of the words are naughty, but…

Most.

Most.

Most, a lot of them are, so even though it’s the middle of the day, your children shouldn’t watch this broadcast. They hopefully are in school, if they’re of age, and yeah. And speaking of age, that’s what we’re gonna talk about, right?

Yes, yes.

Yeah, you guys tell everybody quickly where they can find the podcast and just a little… What is it? Before we go into this whole perimenopause situation?

Julia?

Well, you can find us wherever you get your podcast. We are everywhere, we’re on Spotify, Apple, Stitcher, all the places.

The places.

Yeah, everywhere.

The websites, the Facebook.

Yes, you can get it, you can go right to our website and listen there, yeah.

The website is circlingthedrainpodcast.com, that’s probably the easiest place because it links to everything else.

Right, right.

That’s right.

And if you are watching this, you are on either Instagram or YouTube or Facebook so you know that they’re on those places. And you put out a new episode every week?

Every other week.

Every other week.

I like that, it’s biweekly.

We are biweekly because we-

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Hi, and welcome back to another episode of The Breakdown with Bethany. I’m Bethany Braun-Silva, and today my guest is Vanessa Coppes. Vanessa is the owner and CEO of BELLA magazine and one of five of the only Latina editors-in-chief in the U.S. She is absolutely a force, and she’s also a mom. We’re going to learn all about Vanessa’s story and her tips for leadership, and of course, how to run a business like a boss. Definitely check this one out, you guys.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
I was so excited that I got the opportunity to interview you because I was researching your story, and you started as a writer there, and now you own the company. So can you just tell us a little about that please? What is that journey?

Vanessa Coppes:
Oh my god. So it’s so funny that you start this way, because my claim to fame is I actually bought the magazine I used to work for, and that’s really it. When the magazine launched almost 11 years ago, I got it in my mailbox. I was super thrilled. I remember the first edition having Denise Richards on the cover. And at that time, I had just launched my custom jewelry business, and I had sent jewelry to Denise Richards. So talk about serendipity, talk about “godincidences,” like talk about things that are like supposed to happen.

Vanessa Coppes:
And I remember just reaching out to the previous owner, and I was like, Denise Richards was just on my cover. This is so exciting. And we just created… We had this connection where she was having events where I could support her with and vice versa. Then we became friends, and I started to contribute to the publication, and the rest is history.

Passion for Writing
Vanessa Coppes:
I was so passionate about writing. I mean, the writing aspect has just been second nature to me. I’ve been journaling since I was seven years old, had always envisioned myself writing for a publication since the age of 13. I could see it so clearly for myself. And when they decided to sell three years ago....
