Tiffani Thiessen is an actress, author, host, chef, and mom, and like many parents, she has her hands full, but she is taking time to speak about an important cause: the meningitis vaccine. In this episode of The Breakdown with Bethany, Tiffani urges fellow parents of pre-teens and teens to take action to help increase rates of potentially life-saving vaccination for meningococcal meningitis.

We also discussed pandemic parenting and Tiffani’s book, You’re Missing It, which she wrote with her husband, Brady Smith, before the pandemic. It’s one of my favorite children’s books, and it encourages parents to stay present with their kids and off their phones, which we know can be challenging.

Jenna Bush Hager wears many hats. She’s an author, talk show host, and mother (to name a few). She’s also a fierce advocate for literacy and conservation, so it makes sense that she would work on a project that combines both of these passions. In this episode of “The Breakdown with Bethany,” Jenna and I discuss her new project, how she promotes literacy in her own home, and her love for the outdoors. It’s not to be missed!

Interviewing Tori Spelling was a dream! Tori has been a staple on our small screens for decades, so for many (me!), it feels as if we are lifelong friends with the star. But the truth is we are actually just starting to get to know the real Tori. After a stint on The Masked Singer, she revealed how much people's preconceived notions of her had defined her. But the reality is she is so much more! We talked about Tori's newfound confidence, how she is instilling that in her kids, and how she keeps her family on track.
