    The Secret to Telling the Truth with Gus Kenworthy

    In the last episode of Season Three of the Shared Podcast series, I'm excited to be able to share my conversation with a man who's getting a ton of media attention for all the right reasons. Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy has made headlines not only for his death-defying jumps and tricks on skis, but for his bravery in coming out as a gay man on the cover of ESPN The Magazine in an October 2015 cover story. He is widely viewed as the most visible LGBT action sports athlete in the country. After the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where Gus earned a silver medal, he came home with one goal in mind: Telling the truth about his sexual identity. In this episode, the 26-year-old skier shares his decision to come out while still competing, and the loneliness that came along with living a life of deception. We also discuss the shame and fear that Gus felt as a younger man, and the ways he's fighting hate and bigotry by being his most authentic self.

    The Secret to Not Being a Sexual Harasser with Michele Promaulayko

    Longtime listeners of this podcast know I'm not one to shy away from difficult or sensitive issues.

In the episode, Michele talks about her powerful letter to readers in the magazine's February issue, which focuses on sexual harassment and assault. We discuss the subtle ways in which men can unknowingly harm women through "soft sexism." And Michele explains how she believes we can improve the way we're talking about the problem.

    The Secret to Empowerment With Gabrielle Reece

    With her muscular 6-foot-3 physique and her confident demeanor, "vulnerable" isn't the first word I'd use to describe former pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece. At least it wasn't the first word I would have chosen to describe her before listening to her podcast, The Truth Barrel. The podcast is named for the 220-degree barrel sauna that Gabby and her husband, pro surfer Laird Hamilton, have in their home, and it aims to "sweat the truth" out of its guests on topics people usually don't discuss. Gabby joins me in this episode of Shared Secrets to share some secret truths of her own. In the episode, she tells me about how the shortfalls of her own childhood have left her with insecurities about parenting. She shares her challenges surrounding raising girls, and we discuss the fraught parent-child relationship. And she explains how she's working to empower her kids to make healthy choices in a world of oversharing via electronics and social media.

    The Secret to Discovering Your Identity With Frances Stroh

    Every family has its secrets. When you come from a family of privilege, those secrets can lead to front-page headlines when they finally come to light. That was the case for Frances Stroh, author of Beer Money: A Memoir of Privilege and Loss, who joins me in today's episode of Shared Secrets to discuss her family's fall from grace after generations of wealth. In the episode, Frances tells me about growing up in a wealthy but dysfunctional household, and about how the collapse of her family's brewing empire contributed to her family's great personal losses. Frances also shares how a sense of entitlement can build through generations, and how a family legacy can cloud individual passion and identity. And she tells me about how she used art—she's a former Fulbright scholar—to find a path out of the dysfunction and toward her own true identity.
