Welcome to OTG's Back-to-School Series, where we are re-airing our favorite parenting experts to help you survive the season!

Today's guest on OTG is Laurie Gelman. If the last name sounds familiar, it’s because Laurie’s husband is the legendary TV producer Michael Gelman of Live with Kelly & Ryan. Little known fact, Laurie actually spent 25 years as a broadcaster here and in her native Canada before trying her hand at writing novels. We'll talk about her best-selling Class Mom and the hi-larious follow-ups in the series You’ve Been Volunteered and now Yoga Pant Nation. We'll also get the scoop on the advice Kelly Ripa gave Laurie that she didn't take and Laurie's description of the ideal mate for the very single Ryan Seacrest.

Listen in if: You need a nudge to chase your dreams, could use a few words of wisdom from a sometimes snarky mom boss who managed to raise two awesome daughters...and wouldn’t mind a little Kelly & Ryan inside scoop.
