Human Trafficking. It’s a term loaded with controversy, misconceptions and stereotypes. Most of us believe “that will never happen to me or my family members.”
Cue in guest Rachel C Thomas, human trafficking survivor and the girl next door. Rachel, a UCLA masters graduate, was raised in an affluent community with well educated, professional parents. She was a student at Emory University, when preyed upon by a trafficker and became entrenched in this dark world. Rachel’s story conveys the manipulative, deceptive and predatory behaviors that adolescents and young adults can face from traffickers.
Now a personal survivor, Rachel has become an advocate, teacher, speaker and content creator to help others avoid becoming human trafficking victims. This episode is a story that must be heard by parents and their adolescent and young adult children.

Most of us search for methods to sustain our youthful appearance, and often find ourselves chasing any and every product and procedure on the market to do so. As we age, we all succumb to laxity, loss of volume, skin tone issues and those damn fine lines and wrinkles. But what REALLY works?
Cue in Dr. Amir Karam, creator of the Vertical Restore Facial Rejuvenation process and the KaramMD TRIFECTA + POLISH at home skin care line. Featured in Allure and Cosmopolitan magazines among others, recipient of over 30 awards for Best Cosmetic Surgeon, and a 16 month waitlist of patients flying from all corners of the world for his expertise, Dr. Karim knows a few things about creating the most natural and youthful look to feel our best.
In this episode, he goes through what is effective, what does not have sustainable results and where patients get the most bang for their buck. From fillers, to RF procedures to surgery and skin care, Dr. Karam dishes on it all with honesty, earnestness and detail.
Stay tuned in until they end, as we bring on his wife to have some fun and get to know Dr. Karam in a different light.

Had a little spontaneous fun today with our pod buddy @randicrawfordcoaching
We decided to walk up to random and amazing women and ask for the real deal with 3 questions:
1) one word to describe social media (not one single answer was the same 🤔)
2) one word to describe themselves (happy led the way)
3) Who they would want to be stuck in an elevator with (most popular answers…wait for it…dogs and husbands. Have we lost our damn minds people?!? OF COURSE it’s the lead in season 1 of @bridgertonnetflix )
Would love your answers!!! Comment or DM us!!!
Yea, we said it. (Please note the comma and period of previous sentence 🤓)
We get the shorthand that has naturally evolved with the prevalence of texting. However, we are simply baffled by the gross lack of respect to the English language we are seeing on posts, e-mails, etc.
If you are over the age of 35, please know that when you don’t use any form of punctuation (there is no such thing as a 50 word sentence), or proper grammar (you’re vs. your, to vs. too, their vs. they’re, etc.), it’s not a good reflection of your command of the written word and intellect.
Those under 35, especially the Gen Z’ers, when we use punctuation it is not an affront to you.
That is all. ✌🏼
New Episode Alert…Rerelease based on request! 🎙🥂❤️

NEW EPISODE! 🎙💕
Many of us are looking to give back or pay it forward, especially those in their second chapters of life. Whether it's our time, influence/network or disposable income, we want to make a difference and the world a better place. However, the philanthropic world can be daunting with so many causes, organizations and individuals looking for support. In this episode, we interview Ceil Folz, CEO of Ceil Folz Consulting and CFC Collective. Ceil has spent 30 plus years working with high profile individuals, high level organizations, athletes and public figures in their efforts at effectively raising money and awareness for their personal causes. We get under the hood of the hairball of philanthropy, and Ceil gives invaluable advice on how to make the most of your personal involvement, as well as what to avoid. We also have a little fun with discussing Ceil's experiences with the world of Olympic organizations and athletes, as well as working with public figures and professional athletes. Ceil is an absolute baller in this space, working with some of the best and brightest.

Now that we are “free birds,” our fur babies are getting way more attention. On this day in Studio 50, it wasn’t the best idea. 🎙🙅🏼♀️🙅🏻♀️🐶
New Episode Alert 🎙🥂💕
It’s the topic we have been encouraged to discuss by many listeners, as it’s a dilemma we all face as parents. When does our well intended involvement and support become too much?
Guest Dorian Jackson knows a thing or two about this topic, and has become a sought after resource and coach to executives, parents and kids. Dorian, an executive and leadership consultant, is also a former athlete/coach and currently father of two professional athletes (MLB and MLS). While he brings a heavy sports parenting lens, our discussion encapsulates all activities and focus areas of our kids.
We discuss unintended pressure, expectations, unfinished business, along with the added components of social media. We are a society of very involved parents. As such, we’ve all had moments. This episode will challenge you to self reflect and evaluate whether your involvement is healthy, constructive, truly about what’s best for your child and whether it is setting them up for long term success once their sports, activities and academics are finished.

This video is a GREAT precursor to the upcoming week’s topic.
If you were are a 10 X’s 4/5/6, you come from the days when you were left alone to figure out who you were and what you wanted to both do and be. You chose the multiple sports and activities in which you participated. You chose the college or post high school path that worked for you. There were no mobile phones and computers, let alone the beastly pressures that can come along with social media. You were part of a team, club or organization because of friends and fun— not because your parents thought it was your “ticket” or a career path.
Our kids come from a generation where us parent are INVOLVED. But when do our good intentions and support become “too much?” Too much pressure. Unrealistic expectations. Blurred lines between their goals and dreams, and our unfinished business or ideas of what’s best.
Whether a dance mom, sports mom, parent of a highly academically oriented child, when does our involvement become toxic and damaging, and prevent our kids from knowing their true purpose, individual identities and self worth. As we know… school, sports and club success end, and how do we as parent foster healthy relationships both publicly (damn social media) and privately to help our kids navigate?
Video by @tcufootball and @emilyausten Thank you and GO FROGS!
Do you feel we’ve gone too far with the culture of tips and gratuity?
It used to be we would tip for great service at a restaurant, car wash, ride service, delivery, etc. NOW it seems that we are expected to pay 20% just to order in person and online—even being unable to check out without being put on the spot.
Who feels this?

NEW EPISODE ALERT
Spirituality. A word, concept and goal we all use, discuss and seek in our lives. But what does it really mean, and how is it different than traditional religious constructs? Psychic intuition. psychic abilities. psychic mediumship. What does all this mean? Is it real, or just made up "woo woo?" Enter guest Reverend Meg, a ministry leader, spiritual counselor and licensed Psychic Medium, who dives into all of the facets of spirituality and connection with "other side." Reverend Meg answers all the questions that we have, and refers to psychic mediums as "mom intuition times 1000." It's a fascinating bend to our conventional thought process on spiritual growth, and a test to the norm on what's possible in tapping into the unknown spirits who have left us. Reverend Meg is fun, engaging, passionate and an absolutely different mould of the traditional "reverend" we have been brought up to know-- yes, she drops F-bombs! This is Part 1 of a two episode series, which we follow-up with an actual reading on Laurie and Lisa. So...Hello from the other side!

Great Listen!!! The story of this week’s guest Kim Reed and her passion behind creating a platform @everybodyhassh*t for us all to share, support one another and self advocate.
NEW EPISODE!!!
It's the absolute truth. EVERYBODY has sh*t, and this holds especially true in the world of mental, emotional and physical health and well being. Kim Reed's life took a detour when she became afflicted with an autoimmune disorder. We all know that finding health and wellness can require looking under every rock to find the right diagnosis and treatment plans. It took Kim over seven years of searching for answers and methods of coping with her illness. She is not alone. Unfortunately, this situation is not uncommon, especially as we get older. This episode tells the story of Kim's struggles, and gives recommendations for others on how to share information and self advocate. Kim also provides the inspiration and passion for launching a new career in the Podcast world-- to give a platform for being vulnerable, providing insights and sharing information so that we all can put our health a top priority and live the lives we were meant to experience.
Most of us can relate…if you are a 10 X’s 5ish you can ABSOLUTELY relate to the frustrations we have with the “technical” world
