Most people in Hollywood would agree that the the best thing to come out of of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement in the past year has been an increased awareness in the need for women in all areas of production.

Transitioning to Kindergarten and Juggling New Jobs Aug 27, 2018

Show notes

I invited Chris Brooker back on the show to talk me through this major life change. We started off talking about the perils of kindergarten, and ended up talking about LA Food and Wine. Let's just say, we cover a lot in this episode and it's worth your time. I love it when Chris comes on the show. I often wonder how different the show would be if I had him on as a weekly guest from the beginning. Would I still be as famous as I am now? Would famous people still talk to me? Probably not. I guess the path I took is best but I will always wonder.
