I had the wonderful fortune of being interviewed on the “BAM: Bad Ass Moms” podcast. We discussed everything from my beginnings at UCLA and Access Hollywood, to my internship at The Simpsons, to my views on screen time and play-based education…..plus a little Tom Cruise!
Hosts Lori and Jenny are as awesome and kind as can be! It was a real pleasure.
