What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means that I have the unique opportunity to share my knowledge with the world with the intention of helping more and more people live healthier, happier, more beautiful lives.
Who do you wish followed you?
Anyone and everyone in the world who wants to live a life that is Better Than Before, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I am most proud of writing my most recent book, Long Live You! Your Step by Step Plan to Look and Feel Better Than Before.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Never give up. You will get a lot of "Noes" in the publishing world. But all you need is one "Yes!"
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
I don’t get a lot of strange pitches, actually, because I usually just delete any e-mail that has a subject line hyping something that is entirely out of my beauty, health, fitness, and lifestyle area.
What's your favorite drink?
Green drinks that aren't too sweet. Black tea with whole milk and a little half and half. No low fat or nut milks which all taste the same.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Behind a microphone doing my show. I also like to work out. An hour a day. Whether it's weight training, kick boxing, HIT class, or just walking at a very fast pace, exercise is my best stress reliever.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
Any publication, whether magazine or newspaper, that has a crossword puzzle in it. Good to stimulate the brain.
