“The ocean also helped me because in the ocean I found answers that I could never find with a pen and paper.” (16:52)
“That’s what a podcast is. It’s just the interview, which was my favorite part of journalism and the part I think I excelled at the best.” (22:03)
“I’m more methodical now about how I make my decisions. I say, ‘No’ more. I say ‘Yes’ to things that matter and, ‘No’ to everything else.” (24:39)
“Interviewing was easy; getting guests was no problem. I think just the technical part of launching and all the little things you have to do I was a little blown away by. And then also letting go. You were really good at coaching me to just put it out there even if it isn’t perfect.” (25:28)
“We’ve lost our collective sense of humor as a country. Laughter is really important medicine along with nutrition and sleep which is what I’m exploring in this new show.” (33:59)
“For my health show, I’ve identified what do I eat, what do I drink, what do I wear, what do I like, what brings me joy? And what company can I help reach a demographic that I also reach?” (43:34)
“I’m just trying not to be judgmental of people during this pandemic.” (52:07)
