This week I have a candid conversation with two elementary school moms, Charity Aughinbaugh and Catherine Crudup, that discuss the choice of returning children back to school safely. Our school system is about more than educating children. School provides social, emotional, and physical development. It is a safe haven for some that is absolutely essential for providing safety and security. An enormous number of children depend on free and reduced meals and thousands of homeless children whose whereabouts are monitored only through our school systems.

Jennifer shares her feelings on how Covid has affected our education system and how all parents should have a choice of how your children will learn in the fall; virtually or in the classroom. Loss of a pregnancy, fibroids, work/life balance (trying to be Superwoman), and abuse from a step father are just some of the many topics you won’t want to miss!

This week I talk solo about a lot of things but most importantly, Covid 19. I express how I personally feel about what’s real, fake, and everything in between. I am not a health care professional, research scientist, or politician…just me and a few of my opinions and feelings. With the help of the CDC, WHO and government agencies, I discuss the facts and many questions that arise.

Most of you know health and physical fitness are so incredibly important to me. This week I am thrilled to have my friend and personal trainer, Sam Watts on the show. Sam is a world class and accomplished athlete from the UK, recruited to the US to run track for our TCU Horned Frogs. Sam at one point in his career captured the title of the fasted man in the world. Sam majored in kinesiology at TCU now calls Texas home and living the American dream. The owner of Watts Fitness, Sam shares his passion for the industry and how each client is so very, very different as not one body is alike.

Sarah shares her road to passion, which began with the help of Craig’s List, and a few bumps in the road along the way.

This week I sit down with my friend and colleague in the culinary industry, Chef Gabriel Benjamin. Life is all about experiences. What you do with these experiences can often determine your fate. Gabriel, born in San Diego, explains his life as a roller coaster ride and how he has finally overcome addictions after 10 years of being clean and sober and incarcerated in the Texas Department of Corrections. His passion for culinary has guided him through life and now he is a thriving Chef at Reata in Fort Worth, Texas. Colleagues in the food and beverage industry that offer second chances are often overlooked but never, ever forgotten.

This week I sit down with the founder of Glotrition, Lisa Pineiro, a former television news anchor and medical correspondent. When Lisa started to see the signs of aging in her own skin, she was fortunate to have access to doctors and scientists who were doing incredible research in both anti-aging and skincare science. This is when she started to learn about the important link between nutrition and beauty…that what you feed your skin on the INSIDE is just as important as what you feed it on the outside. If you are doing one or the other, you are only doing half the job and only going to see half the results.

This week I sit down for a much needed chat with my bestie and Pilates instructor of 10+ years, Stephanie Perry of D Method. Stephanie has coached me through the recovery of two spine surgeries and chronic back pain. A native of Southern California turned Texan, via TCU, Stephanie and her husband are now moving back into her home state to nestle down in the wine country. She explains how to take a passion for fitness and perfectly brand it for her followers and residents of Fort Worth. She shares surviving a commuter marriage, with her husband in medical school on the other side of the globe, and rotations in Chicago. Covid could have drastically impacted D Method but Stephanie shares how she quickly converted her studio to virtual and online lessons and has now chosen to go with D Method Virtual, for the long haul.
