Singer, actor, musician, director, and Johnny Cash tribute artist Scott Moreau joins me for a conversation that feels as much as it entertains.

We talk about his upbringing in Maine, his love of theater and classic music, and how an adult fascination with Johnny Cash eventually led him to portray the legendary singer on stages across the country.

But this conversation goes deeper.

After losing both of his parents within five months of each other last year, Scott opens up about grief, healing, and the resources that helped him navigate unimaginable loss. Along the way, we discover that the themes of Johnny Cash's life—light and darkness, joy and struggle—mirror much of our own.

And yes, Scott performs.

It's moving. I cry. And if you stay until the very end, there's an unscripted musical surprise after the official interview wraps.

This is a podcast you feel more than you hear.

What if decluttering your home could change your life?

In this episode, I sit down with professional organizer and minimalist expert Melissa Welch to explore the powerful connection between our physical spaces and our emotional well-being.

Melissa shares how embracing her lifelong passion for organization led her to a more purposeful life—and how helping others simplify their homes often helps them reclaim their time, energy, and happiness.

We talk about clutter, guilt, sentimental items, and why letting go can be one of the most empowering things we do. This conversation goes far beyond organizing bins and storage solutions. It's about creating space for the life you actually want to live.

And in a surprisingly emotional moment, Melissa helps me realize it's finally time to let go of something I've been holding onto for years.

If you're ready to clear the clutter—in your home and your life—this episode is for you. 

Melissa helps people declutter their homes, shop more intentionally, and take control of their money so they can build the life they truly want inside the Happy Home Community

Former News 12 Long Island Chief Meteorologist Sam Augeri joins me to discuss what happens when the career you've built no longer aligns with the life you want.

After successful careers in television, both of us found ourselves at a crossroads that ultimately led us away from TV news and toward work that felt more meaningful. Sam shares how she created Sam's Weather School, an educational program designed to inspire children through weather and space science.

In the second half of the episode, we shift gears and talk running. With more than 20 marathons completed, Sam became one of the people I leaned on while training for the 2024 New York City Marathon. We discuss marathon training, motivation, mental toughness, and why running has the power to clear the clutter and reveal what you're truly capable of.

Whether you're considering your first race, training for a marathon, or navigating your own reinvention, this episode offers inspiration for the road ahead.

This solo episode is me pulling back the curtain on what reinvention actually feels like in real time.

I talk about why being told “I miss you on the news” can hit harder than people realize, why I’m saying goodbye to yet another piece of my TV news identity, and why succeeding in this next chapter means breaking almost every rule TV news taught me.

I also revisit a moment from a recent interview that stayed with me, play the clip, and unpack why it hit so deeply.

I don’t have all of this figured out. But I do know this: courage is doing it anyway.

Jackie Davalos had the career many people dream about — working as a Bloomberg TV and digital reporter after starting out in finance. But behind the success was something so many journalists know intimately: burnout.

The pressure, the toxic environments, the nonstop pace, the ignored warning signs — Jackie kept pushing until one question from her therapist changed the course of her life:

“If you had one year to live, what would you do?”

Her answer? Leave journalism. Move to France. Go to pastry school.

In this episode, Jackie shares how she walked away from a career she worked incredibly hard to build in order to finally listen to herself. We talk about burnout in journalism, trusting your gut, fear, reinvention, and why waiting for the “perfect time” can keep you stuck forever.

This conversation hit me personally in so many ways — and Jackie’s answer to whether she misses her old life made her story even more unforgettable.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt exhausted by the grind, or wondered what would happen if you actually listened to your inner voice… this episode is for you.

An episode months in the making finally happened.

I sit down with comedian and podcaster Amanda Yoa — the very first podcaster I ever met, and someone who helped guide me through the turbulence of creating Unscripted Turbulence. What started as an organic connection quickly became a genuine friendship, and I credit Amanda for helping give me the confidence to fully step into this next chapter outside of TV news.

In this conversation, Amanda opens up about stepping into her truth, the heartfelt story underneath her hilarious “Pam from Port Richmond” character, and the deeper meaning behind the humor she shares online. Somewhere along the way, the podcast turns into something even more personal, as Amanda helps guide me through a struggle I’ve been quietly navigating myself.

It’s funny, vulnerable, heartfelt, and one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on the show. Fasten your seatbelts… this one takes you on a rollercoaster of feels.

This one is about what happens when life forces you to start over—and you say yes anyway.

I sat down with Juan Martinez, an Amazon Delivery Service Partner, whose story is the definition of resilience and reinvention.

Born in Colombia, Juan moved back and forth between countries as a kid—eventually losing his English and returning to the U.S. as a teenager starting from scratch.

A chance encounter while working as a server opened the door to a 30-year career… until the pandemic brought it all to a halt.

Instead of staying stuck, Juan took a leap—joining Amazon’s DSP program and waiting nearly two years for his opportunity.

Today, he’s a business owner, leading with heart and creating opportunities for others—especially within minority communities.

It’s a story about the American Dream…
 but more importantly, what you do once you get your shot.

Some friendships don’t just stay with you… they shape your path.

In this episode of Unscripted Turbulence, I sit down with Eva Pilgrim—now anchor of Inside Edition and formerly of ABC News, where she co-hosted GMA3. But long before the national stage, Eva and I met as local reporters covering the same story in Pennsylvania. That moment sparked a friendship that would go on to impact my career in a major way—she even helped connect me with my first agent, accelerating my move to New York.

Years later, we found ourselves working within the same network again. And then, in March 2025, we both made the decision to walk away.

This conversation centers on Eva’s journey—her upbringing, her evolution, and the shifting priorities that led her to step into a new chapter. We talk about what it really means to leave something that no longer serves you, even when it once defined you.

It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation—one that feels less like an interview and more like catching up over coffee. Full of laughter, reflection, and the kind of real talk that only happens between people who’ve shared history.

Eva has been one of those “angel people” in my life from the very beginning. Having her share her story here is incredibly special—and I think you’ll feel that when you listen.

The day after Becca Solomon walked away from her career in TV news, everything changed.

In September 2023, she made the difficult decision to leave a profession she loved. The next day, she flew to Israel to celebrate the High Holidays with family and friends.

Then came the October 7th attacks in Israel — including the attack on the Nova Music Festival.

Becca found herself outside Tel Aviv — hearing sirens, unable to leave, and living through days of uncertainty in a way that felt completely foreign, yet all too real.

She shares what those days were like, what it revealed about life there, and what came after — returning home, processing trauma, and navigating the silence that followed.

This is a conversation about survival, identity, and what it takes to heal after everything changes.

Before “true crime” became a genre… this was real life.

On January 8, 2000, Dan Zapp and a friend were abducted along the Susquehanna River, assaulted, shot, and left for dead.

They survived.

In this episode of Unscripted Turbulence, Dan shares what happened that day — and what it took to live after it. Because survival doesn’t end in the moment… it unfolds in the days, months, and years that follow.

We talk about the aftermath, what it’s like to have your story told by the media, and what that experience reveals about how we cover violent crime. And we sit in a question that isn’t easy to answer — forgiveness.

Dan and I knew each other long before this, back in high school, which makes this conversation even more personal.

This episode contains graphic content.

It’s heavy. It’s honest. And it offers a rare window into survival, resilience, and what it means to keep going after the unthinkable.
