There’s an old saying: the two most important days in a person’s life are the day you’re born and the day you discover why. JoDee Neil embodies that truth. She’s a new friend of mine — a lawyer, a survivor, and the author of Outcry Witness.

Joining me in the studio today is Roxanne Carne — a personal wardrobe stylist and image consultant who helps professionals refine their style, elevate their image, and feel confident in how they present themselves.
