Emmestyle - With Supermodel Emme

This week I am thrilled to welcome the actor Dan Fogler to EmmeStyle. Dan is one of the stars of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." He's a Tony-Award winning actor, and, if that's not enough, he's also a playwright and comic book author. Listen to my dynamic conversation with this multi-hyphenated star.

This week I am beyond thrilled to welcome actor/singer/entrepreneur/philanthropist Bryan Terrell Clark to Emmestyle. Bryan is currently starring in the mega-hit Broadway show Hamilton -- YES THAT HAMILTON -- where he plays the role of George Washington. But there is so much more to Bryan than just Broadway -- he recently launched a clothing line aimed at breaking down labels, he has a new CD coming out, he's even written for Mary J. Blige. I feel in love with Bryan the moment he came into the booth, and I know you will too.http://www.bryanterrellclark.com/

This week, I continue my conversation with writer/producer Adriana Trigiani. I absolutely loved chatting with Adri about her incredible body of work, how she finds inspiration in her family, the persistence to work so tirelessly, and how she got to where she is today. She is a true icon and I'm thrilled to help her share her story. http://adrianatrigiani.com/

This week I had the pleasure of talking with Adriana Trigiani. Let me tell you, Adriana is one of the most accomplished and formidable women I have ever met. She is the author of the "Big Stone Gap" series of novels, she has written for film & television, and she's penned two memoirs. She has produced and directed documentaries and she's a visionary entrepreneur. So settle in for Part One of my two part series with the incomparable Adriana Trigiani.

I had so much fun talking to Giulia Rozzi this week. Giulia is a writer, comedian, actress, producer, and most importantly: a breath of fresh air! We talked about finding the humor in all things, which is something Giulia knows a lot about. She is not only hilarious, but she is willing to be honest about overcoming the hardships in her life including almost committing suicide, and breaking off a marriage she knew wasn't right from the start. http://www.giuliarozzi.com/http://www.hopefullywedontbreakup.com/

I hope you're ready for some honesty because Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D brings it and then some this week on EmmeStyle! Susan laid it all out on the table and talking to her was so eye opening. In addition to telling me her life story, Susan told me all about Bright Line Eating Solutions, her company that is dedicated to helping people achieve long-term, sustainable weight loss. Her program utilizes cutting-edge research to explain how the brain blocks weight loss and every day she teaches people how to undo that damage so they can live Happy, Thin, and Free. http://susanpeircethompson.com/https://brightlineeating.com/

Theresa Reed is a world-renowned tarot expert and excellent businesswoman. Theresa's strategic approach to reading cards is so very empowering and I absolutely loved chatting with her; she set such a great tone for the day! Listen as Theresa tells me how she was first introduced to astrology, how she was able to turn the intuition-based practice of reading tarot cards into a successful business, and what she wants non-tarot people to know. To put it in her own words: "The cards tell a story, but you write the ending."http://thetarotlady.com/

I am so proud to introduce you to my friend Lin Evola, artist and creator of the Peace Angels Project. Lin uses metal from melted down street weapons and the stainless steel core of decommissioned missiles to create large-scale sculptures that are powerful images of kindness, compassion, and unity. Through the Peace Angels Project, Lin permanently transforms these weapons of mass destruction into life-affirming symbols of peace. I also have a special announcement: I am honored to be a model for one of her upcoming angels!

My good friend Vivica Fox joins me today for a special edition of EmmeStyle. Vivica actually called into the show from the set of her hit Fox TV Show “Empire.” This is one busy woman! She acts, she produces her own programming, and she runs her own clothing line. And she’s the perfect guest for today’s broadcast, which coincides with International Women’s Day.

I was fascinated by every word of my conversation with Dr. Christian Conte. He works regularly in prisons with the most violent offenders and as one of the few people who have achieved Level V Anger Management Certification, Dr. Conteis an expert on how communicate and grow without holding on to negativity. He was gracious enough to walk us through the steps of his Yield Theory, which he created as a tremendously powerful approach to change, combining radical compassion with conscious education. This interview was truly eye opening and what Dr. Conte taught me can help each and every one of us be our best selves.http://www.drchristianconte.com/
