    On the season finale of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down in person with 90-year-old groundbreaking actress, comedian, and writer Carol Burnett. Carol tells Julia how she learned to accept rejection, what Lucille Ball taught her about being a boss, and how a spontaneous ride on a beer truck led to her landing a CBS special with Julie Andrews.

R.E.A.L.zzzzz

We all know her and love her and now she goes and gets even more cool with a podcast. I want to be her. I am her. We all have that opportunity. Channeling her unique pizzazz every time you swear to make a point and feel so darn great about it.
We all get wiser and more real when we listen in to JLD harvesting the best energy, advice and wisdom of our finest fore-mothers. Maybe we need to listen and learn from @wiserthanme instead of those old Lamaze classes, #!@*&%!!
