Just because you met someone at 15 and have been married to them for 20 years does NOT make you and expert on them. This interview was shocking in more ways than one. Every reaction I have is in real time and absolutely authentic. Honestly, I love that after being Nathan’s girl for over 26 years I still learn new things about him.
Interviewing my husband for this podcast was something I both looked forward to and dreaded. For one thing, Nathan is my complete and polar opposite. We have always lived on far ends of the personality spectrum. There has rarely been a time that we have been in public when someone hasn’t said, “So how exactly do you two work”? Frankly, we don’t know ourselves. We have spent the majority of our lives together as a couple and we still don’t exactly know why we work. It is one thing to marry your opposite, it’s a whole other thing to marry your extreme opposite.
The most surprising part of this podcast was not only what I learned about Nathan, but just to hear how far we have come and grown as a couple. We get really honest and very real. We are open about us individually and as a couple. Nathan lays down some incredible truth and I announce so big projects for 2021.
For us as a married couple we have never faced the darkness and challenges we have this last year. Since 2017 we found ourselves on a path, I sent us on that was unhealthy and damaging. This break we have been gifted in 2020 has brought our marriage the much-needed time to reflect, talk, cry, mend, heal, and forgive. In every way 2020 has been the hardest year we have faced. On the other hand, 2020 gave us the space to find one another in a new and stronger way. We are finally moving forward. This is absolutely because Nathan is the most honest, ethical, and good man I have ever met. He is worth your time. His story of courage and years as a leader in justice will not only inspire you but lead you to say, “NATHAN. IS. EXTRAORDINARY.”
*Nathan is private. However, if you want to contact him you may through my social media/email

Writing in school is either something people LOVE or LOATHE. You could make the argument that it depends on the writing assignment. Is the writing a narrative? Poetry? A How-To? Is it a persuasive piece or an opinion piece that would be in the newspaper? There are so many different types of ways to convey the written word. Now add social media.
Today it is easy to go “viral”. You can be an absolute no one and post something on the internet, get a snack, and see your post circulating the World Wide Web. Ok, maybe it isn’t easy, but it is definitely a possibility. The real question is, why? Why do some photos, stories, quotes, videos, Tik Toks, products gain popularity and others don’t?
As much as I would LOVE the decoder ring on this quandary…the big secret is…no one knows. Sure, there is some science behind what sticks and gets shared, but for the most part there really is not a formula until you strike gold. My guest struck gold early in 2020, just as the world shut down her world busted open like a pinata. And the kicker is…she had NO idea what was about to happen on her computer screen.
Grab your favorite drink and listen to the incredible story of a woman who just loves to write, Laura Fanucci.

The news has been filled with medical discoveries these last few weeks. Medical teams have been working around the clock for solutions to a world-wide-crisis. Hope is on the horizon! But who brings Hope to these brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to the wellbeing of their fellow man? None other than the sought-after and beloved Vicki Clark!
Vicki has spent the last 30 years traveling the globe inspiring, motivating, and consulting with some of the biggest executives on the planet. Remember those amazing science promises the world is waiting for right now? Vicki has been the speaker who has motivated the National & International teams of the CDC, United Way, AstraZeneca, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Points of Light, Audubon Society, American Bar Association, Head Start, Sigma Kappa, and my personal favorite (because I met her there) the Junior League…just to name a few.
The moment you meet Vicki Clark you know you are in the presence of GREATNESS. You find yourself looking for a chair, a cup of coffee, a babysitter, a sweater if it’s cold, or anything to hunker down with to focus on listening. People with stories like Vicki just don’t exist anymore, or rarely. IF these stories do exist people are not able to tell them in ways that do them justice. Vicki both has the stories and the skillset to share them.
Vicki is honest, real, and open about how she created a career as a black woman when women like her were not given opportunities. She shares how she was blessed by the most unlikely men at an unlikely time in history. You won’t be able to stop listening to this American treasure of a storyteller. By the end you will be as in love with Vicki as the rest of us. If you are lucky enough to already walk this life with her as a friend, you will find yourself falling deeper in admiration.

*This episode could be a trigger for anyone dealing with weight, addiction, food addiction, and eating disorders. ForteCatholic and Liv Harrison are not medical professionals. This episode is Liv’s personal story. Always seek the advice of a medical professionals when addressing mental and physical health issues and before making changes to your diet.
If you have been following me, Liv Harrison, on social media there has definitely been an uptick in my posting about my weight-loss journey. My story is extreme. My highest recorded weight by medical professionals was 458 pounds. In October 2020 I posted that I was finally in the 170’s and no longer considered morbidly obese. However, this journey has taken 15 years to achieve and is not over.
For the first time I am addressing publicly how I got to that extreme weight and what I did to overcome it. The story is long, because let’s be honest, to get to that ginormous of a number and to lose 286 pounds, it’s gonna take a minute to make it through. And since I am being honest…I get really really real. There are things I have never shared and I share in ways I never have. It gets raw, honest, ugly, and very human.

Normally I begin with some cute story or roundabout way of introducing a guest, but there is no need to “hide the lead”. My guest is loved for one simple true and sincere reason…she is undeniably loveable. What makes her so well liked, loved, admired, revered, sought after, and adored is her uncanny relatability. You would be hard pressed to find someone more transparent and real. You won’t find them; she is the real-deal. She is as authentic as they come. I’m talking about Mary Lenaburg of course.
If Mary’s authenticity doesn’t win you over her story certainly will. Most people are aware of the immense tragedy Mary has endured. She has never held back what sadness she has faced in her life. Rarely does Mary get asked beyond just her normal stories that she is always asked to share. That’s because her experience is unique and her storytelling skills are fierce. My goal was to get a few unknown or lesser known stories out of the unofficial-official “Queen of Wisdom”. I am thrilled to say that goal was achieved.
Mary is everything you think she is and everything you want her to be. You always leave loving her more and you have no idea how that was even possible. To call her a friend is a gift. To know her heart is a honor. To love her is a privilege.

Having a dream since you were a kid is something many of us had hoped to retain. Backpacks and Trapper Keepers filled with doodles and stickers and notes to friends about who we would grow up to be as adults were common in my generation. My backpack had my Young Astronauts patch attached to it. I remember wading through candy wrappers and pencil erasers at the bottom of my bag to find a note I had written my best friend about my adult sized dreams. She wanted to be a mom and I wanted to float in space. In a lot of ways, we both have accomplished those aspirations.
What happens when you are a teenager and you actually achieve your number one goal? One day you’re walking through locker lined hallways and the next you have signed to play on a basketball team you have admired. Anthony Simons knows this scenario all to well. He was the kid with the Kobe Bryant dream to play professional basketball. The first step towards that is playing on the college level. So, what happened? Why is Anthony known as Coach Anthony? And how at the age of 21 does he already have 3 published books that have nothing to do basketball backboards? This motivational speaker’s story is one filled with family, dreams, sacrifice, and heartbreak.

Not many kids have done what Cana Harrison has successfully done…survived as Liv Harrison’s only daughter! At 10 Cana has more of an adult outlook on life than most the adults I have met. The moment you meet Cana you are impressed with her vocabulary, her level of articulation, and the way she drifts in and out of adult and kid conversation.
Cana has had anything but a normal life. By the time she was 9 (she is only 10) she had been to all 50 states. She has been on more stages than she can count. And she understands what it means when she hears, “quiet please! Mommy is recording!” Her everyday is anything by ordinary. However, she easily wins the heart of every adult that encounters her within the first five minutes. You can tell she’s a special kid. And not because I have met her. The privilege I have in her life is the fact that I made her, but she is unique because of who she was placed on this earth to become. Her poise and “little-kid-explanations” go hand and hand. With that remember that she is 10 and still under the influence of adults, and not just me and my husband. Cana is a listener. She observes and takes in the adult world she lives in and loves. As a mother I ask that you listen with gentle ears. As a human I ask that you listen. This girl has a lot of wonderful to say.

Who do you do know who lives out of their car, drives around talking about Jesus, writes books, and knows ALL the things about ALL the Saints? If you said, MEG HUNTER-KILMER then you are correct!
In the Catholic world Meg is known for living outside of the box and being the answer gal for all things pertaining to the Saints. However, there is a lot more to Meg than just being a human encyclopedia about people who the Catholic Church have declared in Heaven. That is why today’s interview is fantastic because Meg talks about things and goes to places that is out of the box for her. When someone has dedicated their life to exploring certain subjects and then people only want to hear about that it can be challenging to share outside those expectations. Meg does this with grace and ease.
P.S. Happy (almost) ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS Day! Seems fitting to air this episode now…since Meg is the leading Saints expert in all our social media feeds.

Being the first at something and somewhere is never easy. However, it can absolutely prepare you for a life of independence like nothing else. Personally, I always thought being the oldest prepared me in ways to face the world. There was no one else to blame and you had to pave the way…every…single…time. But being an only child AND the first at almost EVERYTHING, well that’s just extraordinary!
Coach Robert Morrison is exactly the independent and strong man you would expect him to be. His life has been anything but simple and ordinary. His story is filled with playing in the NFL to coaching high school students to earning 2 different Master degrees in Education. In his professional career as a teacher and administrator he walked on EACH campus as the FIRST black educator. At EACH of the 7 campuses! He truly changed the education culture in the state of Texas. His reputation is like that of a movie. This incredible man has positively influenced the lives of over 50,000 students and their families. You won’t want to stop listening to his stories…and you are going to need a Kleenex. I cry for the first time while recording. He is a life changer.
