Style Matters

Today, I have a very special guest to wrap us up for the winter season. I'm talking with the one-and-only Marlo Thomas. That's right. THE Marlo Thomas! She has recently collaborated with Williams Sonoma on a 10 piece collection of that's perfect for when we're all able to start hosting friends again! We talk about how this all came about and the inspiration behind it, but of course, I had to also ask her about her acting career and her work as an activist. You are going to love this conversation!

Mina Starsiak Hawk is the co-star of HGTV's "Good Bones" and run her own construction company, Two Chicks and a Hammer. We talk about the importance of belonging to the fabric of a community.
