    This week, I’m spilling all the tea—starting with my Mother’s Day plans, featuring a dreamy spa day gifted by my amazing husband (and the hilarious challenge of keeping quiet during massages). I’m also sharing my favorite last-minute gift ideas to make Mom feel like the queen she is. On the personal front, I’m celebrating my son’s first birthday and opening up about what it’s like being an “introvert who moonlights as an extrovert.” (Spoiler alert: I’ve got a podcast rec for my fellow introverts!) Then, we get into the legal drama: Laura Owens has been indicted in the infamous Clayton Echard paternity case. My husband Humberto, a former prosecutor, joins me to break down what it all means and what could happen next.

    Podcast Club Starring Manon Mathews: Why You Should Scream

    I'm excited to introduce my new podcast club by sharing an incredible episode from Manon Mathews' podcast, ManonFestation. This episode truly resonated with me as it dives deep into hormonal phases and energy levels, with insights from the book Fast Like a Girl by Mindy Pelz. Manon, who many know from her viral videos, opens up about her personal experiences—everything from premenstrual emotions to the catharsis of screaming and the ongoing challenges of navigating diet and processed foods. She also breaks down the four phases of the female cycle, drawing fascinating connections to seasonal changes. Her practical advice on fasting and lifestyle tweaks for each phase, is a must-hear. I hope you'll feel inspired to explore these topics with me—and dive into both of our podcasts. Let’s keep the conversation going! @ManonMathews Hosted on Acast.

    Kyle Wimberley: Netflix's Million Dollar Secret Star & Authentic Reality 😎

    On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kyle Wimberley, a contestant on Netflix’s reality competition show Million Dollar Secret. Kyle’s Southern charm and focus on wellness instantly stood out to me. We dove into his journey, including his surprising lack of prior experience with reality TV before landing a spot on this hit show. Kyle opened up about his casting process, sharing how he faced several near-misses with other reality programs before finally getting his shot. His genuine and adaptable approach to the game was refreshing, and he expressed his surprise at the overwhelmingly positive public reception he’s received. One of the most heartfelt moments was when we swapped stories about growing up with very little. Kyle shared how those experiences shaped his grit, determination, and deep appreciation for the opportunities he’s had in life. We also talked about the deep influence his single mother and stepdad have had on his life, from shaping his character to introducing him to hunting. Kyle didn’t hold back when discussing his time on the show—sharing stories about his favorite and least favorite challenges, life in the chateau, what motivated him to win, and even his thoughts on returning to reality TV in the future. Stay tuned for rapid fire questions at the end. This conversation is packed with honesty, humor, and insight.  @kyle_wimberley  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
