Victory Chicks Radio w Annmarie Kelly Annmarie Kelly

Philadelphia TV icon Lisa Thomas-Laury on Victory Chicks Radio!

The Emmy-winning news anchor was a daily fixture in the lives of Philly viewers. She was so popular and well-loved that most thought of Lisa like one of their friends. When Lisa left due to illness, her fans missed seeing her. They knew she wasn’t well, but they had no idea the kind of hell Lisa was going through in her private life.

Now Lisa's back! And she's joining Annmarie Kelly on Victory Chicks Radio to talk about what happened, how it turned her life upside down, her long road back AND what she’s up to now.

What men are thinking – and why are they thinking it? That’s what Annmarie Kelly will be asking her guest Robert Manni. Robert’s a guy’s guy and the author of the novel The Guys’ Guy’s Guide to Love, a story of flawed men and savvy women competing for love, sex, power, and money. Some have called it the guy’s version of Sex and the City. Robert has been featured on ABC Radio’s Men’s Life with Slacker.com. He is also a regular contributor to Huffington Post, Thought Catalog, Cupid'sPulse, GalTime, and he’s a Featured Expert on YourTango.

Tune in for this fun conversation about men and love.

Annmarie Kelly is a lifestyle expert, victory strategist, author, and the radio show host of Victory Chicks Radio. Annmarie focuses on women’s empowerment and, in her latest book, The Five-Year Marriage: Shifting the Marriage Paradigm, she helps women – and the men who love them – create stronger and happier marriage partnerships while living their best life.
