Today we're revisiting a past episode with none other than Teddi Mellencamp.

Many people know Teddi Mellencamp as rock n’ roll royalty, the daughter of iconic American musician, John Mellencamp. Others know her as a star from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Still others know her as the entrepreneur and health coach behind All In by Teddi, or as the host of her #1 iHeart Podcast, Two Ts in a Pod.

What many people don’t know is the side of Teddi that I know… Teddi has been one of my dearest friends since childhood. We grew up riding horses together on the national equestrian show jumping competition circuit, and from it we grew a special bond.

And when I hit rock bottom in my life… Teddi was there for me.

Today on the pod, we “go there” and talk about it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Teddi has been through the ringer, from America trying to tear her down during her time on RHOBH, to her battle with Anxiety and Extreme OCD, and eventually to a scary skin cancer journey. All the while, Teddi served up her signature version of perseverance, work ethic, tenacity, and most of all, gratitude. Today on the podcast, we cover it all… including a secret look behind the scenes of her life and marriage. She shares how she keeps it all together, how she battles crippling obsessive compulsive disorder, and her tips to staying fit, healthy, and happy in life and working motherhood.
