• Would you please tell our listeners about yourself 

Guest

Amy Morin @amymorinauthor 

I started my career as a psychotherapist thinking I’d use what I’d learned in college to teach people how to be mentally strong. I never imagined how much I was going to need to build my own mental muscles. When I was 23, my mother passed away. When I was 26, my husband passed away. Losing the two most important people in my life made my interest in mental strength personal. With a broken heart, I began studying people. I wanted to know why some people felt stuck after they went through hard times and why other people emerged from hardship feeling stronger than ever.

Talking Points:

• What’s the story behind JustThrive?

Guest 

Tina Anderson - is the cofounder of @justthrivehealth JustThrive Probiotics & Antioxidants. https://justthrivehealth.com/collections/probiotics

Meet the Just Thrive® team: Billy and Tina Anderson! Billy and Tina have been involved in bringing health to the lives of others for many years…so the launch of Just Thrive® Probiotic was a natural progression into a field they have always been passionate about.

Just Thrive® is the only probiotic available comprised of four (4) key strains of nature’s own design for a true probiotic. The bacillus strains found in Just Thrive® are abundant environmental organisms that have evolved to be consumed by humans on a daily basis and then thrive in the digestive systems. Once there, they perform critical functions, such as the development of the immune system; reduction of inflammation; digestion and absorption of nutrients from food, and the production of important functional compounds, like antioxidants. Just Thrive® is the only product on the shelf to contain the patented Bacillus Indicus HU36®, a strain that produces high levels of antioxidants. Once ingested via the intestines, Bacillus Indicus HU36® becomes an important source of daily antioxidants.

Simply put, Just Thrive® is a TRUE probiotic by all scientific definitions and over 95% of other products on the market just are not probiotics.

In this episode, my guest, Lisa D'Amato and I discussing very sensitive topics.

Talking Points:

• How did you get on America's Next Top Model? 

Guest

Lisa D'Amado @lisa_damato  wife and mother of two boys. She was born and raised in Thousand Oaks & Los Angeles, CA. Lisa has been modeling and acting since the early age of 12. She has starred in commercials for GAP, H&M, and Coca-Cola before America's Next Top Model Cycle 5. During her cycle she was coined the phrase "Wild Child" where her image was fun but got distorted drastically. it has repeated consistently to this day even 15 yrs later all over American Television and internationally-being syndicated in over 180 countries. Like many of the other selected 336 contestants that competed on America's Next Top Model, Lisa has a similar story of many of the girls that were mentally manipulated by their childhood trauma during filming. Despite the consistent echo chamber of slander to her character and to say it  jeopardized her public image drastically would an understatement. She still managed to take full advantage of the reality TV therapy shows like Celeb Rehab with Dr. Drew where she admits she went on the show for much needed therapy. She knew she needed therapy from childhood trauma AND for possible drug addiction prevention.

From there it went down hill with even more vicious headlines due to the stigma of "therapy" and "drug addiction" and "rehab" associated her name in the press. She was never detoxing for anything. Fact, case and point. 

Switching gears, Lisa focused on her music. She went on to record 3 albums and tour the USA with her album "LA Puchinetta. With Club's Top 20 Hit list "Trainwreck", and "Ace of Spades". The "Can't Touch It" electro- rap singer landed her song on the opening of the hit show "Entourage". She soon fell in love with now husband Adam Friedman. Shortly after, ANTM came knocking at her door to compete in America's Next Top Model All-Stars.  She later won a "very controversial" finale against finalist Angelea Preston.  

Lisa and her husband landed on We Network's "Marriage Bootcamp Reality Stars" and soon after that Bravo's "Interior Therapy" with Jeff Lewis. Lisa and husband have two beautiful boys Daxel, 7 and Venice, 4.

​She has last been seen on NBC's Shark Tank as the inventor and Ceo of Dare-U-Go!, Lisa landed a deal with Barbara Corcoran. Dare-U-Go! is a 5-in-1 solution to help parents feed their kids! It's a food grade silicone bib, food catcher, air-tight seal food storage unit, divider bowl, and comes with a spork that slides through the back. It's eco-friendly, kids love it and you'll love it even more when applied to your life. Super helpful. That's probably why it's in 21 countries in a little less than 3 years. During quarantine, you can find her on her IG teaching herself pole dancing with her sons. Yep you heard that right. She is learning pole dancing and her little boys as they are becoming pros at it too. "It's pole fitness"  she says. Her and her boys are having family fun. She has also gotten political with her researched pole dancing videos tha ...
