Y'all!!! This is a big moment for me at Control Freak. I had my very first male guest! Mark Berger is a health & fitness entrepreneur and philanthropist in New Orleans. He is a partner in Varsity Sports, a local running store, and has a private yoga, fitness, run coaching, corporate wellness, nutrition, weight-loss, and strength training business called Berger Fitness, Yoga, & Corporate Wellness. He devotes his time outside of fitness to helping businesses become more efficient by making their employees healthier and reducing their health insurance premiums.

Adela Baker joins me to chat about her fascinating career as an ADHD coach. I never even knew such a thing existed. This chat was such incredible information for me personally as I do believe I have a touch of undiagnosed ADD.

Adela opens up a whole fascinating world and gives such a unique way of looking at and understanding ADHD and how turbo thinkers work.

Show notes

Dr. Nilong Vyas, a board certified Pediatrician and Sleep Coach, joins me to discuss all things sleep - how it's a necessity not a luxury, the importance of prioritizing it, and the benefits of starting that healthy habit early. Dr. Vyas owns Sleepless in Nola - a sleep consulting service for any family, in any country, whose children are having difficulties sleeping. Nilong teaches families how to get kids sleeping through the night. Oh, and my Control Freak issues in this category are pretty grea, we don't just talk about kids in this episode.

One of my besties, Kay Siniard, joins me to discuss divorce, co-parenting post-divorce, and one of the hardest moments in her life where she had to relinquish control in that situation. This conversation and her insight will help everyone be more sensitive to all going through that very difficult situation. We also chat about complete career change later on life.

Ep. 7 - Fiercely Fearful Sep 02, 2019

Show notes

This week one of my Baton Rouge hometown friends, Megan Howie, joins me to discuss control in parenting, friendship, and marriage. She is not comfortable being in the spotlight - a fact I never knew about her - and it's pretty cool to hear why that is. Oh, and I just about cried 3 times! Also, Megan is the connection to this whole podcast thing happening. You'll love this woman!

Ep. 6 - Food Addicts Unite Aug 25, 2019

Show notes

My health coach, Lenee Rogers, joins me to chitty chat. Y'all, she is a Natchez, MS southern belle who now resides in Dallas, and she is one of the coolest chicks I know. I learned soooo much about her. She is, in fact, the opposite of a control freak...total opposite...except for one aspect of her life. We discuss our path to each other, and how our acquaintanceship has become a true, deep friendship. We get deep about our own food addictions and how we are taking control of them. Also, her control freak movie choice just about brought me to tears.

Ep. 5 - Strike A Match Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

New Orleans Matchmaker Ann Parnes joins me to chat about all things Control in dating. Does it make someone the ultimate control freak to use a matchmaker, or is it the opposite because the client is giving up all the control to someone else? I have so many questions about how matchmaking works...did you know they have a convention??? Listen in for all the dating tea and matchmaking insights from this former attorney turned matchmaker galore.

Ep. 4 - Control The Unknown Aug 11, 2019

Show notes

New Orleans Psychic Celeste Mott joins me to chat about trying to control the unknown, why people usually come to see her, some insight into how she does what she does, and so much more. Whether you believe in psychics or not, we hit the highlights of many control issues: her (amazing) definition of stress, the power of saying no, and the strength of women's intuition. Celeste even throws a few cards for me...and it's very accurate and very interesting.

Show notes
