We're re-airing one of our most beloved STACKED episodes — and if you missed it the first time, now's your chance to hear it. I sat down with Dr. Douglas Burton, a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon whose life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Faced with a daunting prognosis, Dr. Burton has pursued every possible avenue — from clinical trials in the U.S. to cutting-edge vaccines in Germany — to keep the tumor at bay. But what makes Dr. Burton truly extraordinary isn't just his medical journey — it's his spirit. Every day he wakes up with the most positive attitude and spreads that unwavering positivity to everyone around him. With deep spirituality, resilience, and perspective, he reminds us that while none of us can escape mortality, we can choose how we live right now — with gratitude, courage, and purpose.

This episode is all about the pieces that stay with us. The bracelet someone gave you during a hard time. The necklace that reminds you of a moment, a person, or a feeling. These are the pieces that matter. In this solo episode, I'm sharing how Wear What Matters became a way of living-choosing to wear things that hold meaning, tell a story, and make a difference in how we feel and show up. Because … the right piece doesn't just complete an outfit…it connects you to what matters most

This one's coming back around — and for good reason. Episode 10 was one of our most-listened, most-shared, most-"I sent this to my husband" episodes to date, so we're bringing it back for the ones who missed it and the ones who need to hear it again. Jerry and I get into the real stuff: what 37 years of marriage actually looks like when the kids are grown, the routines have shifted, and you're sitting across from someone wondering, "do I still like you?" Spoiler — I do. Most days. We talk friendships that fade, the ones that stick, and why your circle at 50 looks nothing like it did at 30. It's honest, it's messy, and apparently, it made a lot of you cry in your cars. You've been warned. Again.

This episode is one of the most important conversations I've had.  I'm joined by Holocaust survivor Erika Gold, who shares her journey from a young girl in Budapest to surviving the unimaginable.  Her story is one of fear, resilience, courage, and ultimately survival.  This episode is about more than history - it's about truth, memory, and the responsibility we all carry to listen, to learn and to never forget.
