Where do you actually get the news? Not opinion or panels or dare we say "fake news" but the basic facts, the 411 about what's actually going on?

That question is what prompted former anchor of Fox News Channel, Jenna Lee to start SmartHER News which is fueled by facts. No political or personal bias.

This week we ask Jenna for all the facts on the General Election 2020 why it matters, how it works and what could happen in 2021. She explains the differences between journalism and opinion based media reporting.

You've seen it everywhere--a mom needing a glass of wine to survive parenting. The internet is rife with drunk moms in Facebook memes and in TikTok videos. Maybe you've experienced it in real life with a happy hour play date.

Not all moms are drinkers though; in fact, there's an entire squad of Sober Moms, and the movement is only growing. This week we'll talk to Celeste Yvonne, a co-founded of the Sober Mom Squad and how we can change this 'Wine Culture' in motherhood.

She's hysterical, she's hot, she's HERE TO TALK!!

In this episode of my talk show and podcast I talk with comedian (and high school friend!) JC Coccoli, whose comedy touches on everything from climate change to addiction, to losing teeth in the middle of having sex. (Not her teeth.)

In this episode we talk life as a comedian, how Me Too hit the industry, what it's like to make it as a writer and comedian in LA and New York, and most importantly, why growing up Catholic in Pittsburgh can really scar a girl. Kidding!

She's the best. Enjoy!

***

JC is a Pittsburgh born/LA Based humorist & comedienne for Carnival Cruise Line whose raw and playful approach to America's future keeps you smiling.

You can catch JC on comedy tours throughout the world and is the host of Amazon Prime’s “New American Road Trip.”

This is a GOOD ONE because I know so many of you, like me, want to know actionable things we can do to improve our health.

Gone are the days when we see a doctor once a year and hope for the best in between appointments.

Now, with a plethora of testing, supplementation and lifestyle options, we can take charge of our own health like never before.

That's why this week's topic, PROACTIVE HEALTH, is so good. Our guest, Dr. Olga Ivanov, an oncologist and owner of The IV Lounge, is here to put that POWER back into your hands!

We dig into:

We are DIGGING IN, all in the name of better health.

OUR GUEST:

Dr. Olga Ivanov, MD is a former General Surgery Specialist in Celebration, FL, and has over 20 years of experience in the medical field. She helped pioneer a one-day radiation treatment for breast cancer patients and even though she's no longer practicing medicine, still hears from women daily who seek out her advice on treating breast cancer.
