Brook Lee is NOT what most people think of when you say "pageant girl". She's incredibly beautiful of course – inside and out. She's also VERY intelligent with a quick sense of humor, which is why this episode will make you smile. Brook was my roommate at the 1997 Miss USA Pageant and she went on to win Miss USA and Miss Universe. We're remained friends over the years, and she's now married with two kids. She was Miss Hawaii and I was Miss Iowa when we met, and she saved me from being naked on the Miss USA stage. Her wonderful attitude has saved me many times over the years, and I'm excited to get to introduce her to you. This episode comes from October 2020. We talked about resilience – and several other things: gaining weight, judging other people, judging ourselves, being a mom...and Mulligans.

When I have a question about my skin, or I'm feeling a little "yucky" about my appearance. I call on my girlfriends for advice and a reality check. It happens that both of my favorite skin experts have written books about getting naked! Dr. Keira Barr is a dual board-certified dermatologist, menopause specialist and mind-body medicine expert. She's also a wife, mom of two teens and three dogs. She knows life can get busy - she lives it . Monique Parent has a successful YouTube Channel and is a health an beauty expert. In 2015 upon turning 50, Monique decided to stop coloring her naturally red hair and allow the natural silver-gray to show. She now offers makeup and hair tips for women over 40 and shares her life as an actress and with her beau Howard. Monique is an advocate for celebrating natural beauty and graceful aging and wow does she have some great stories!
