IDIOT with Laura Clery

Jamie Hess, an influencer, speaker, author, and teacher, and a Patreon follower of mine, joins me to tell her story of going from the dregs of addiction to the heights of healthy happiness. Growing up with her mother on national TV every day, being “America’s mom”, Jamie went the other way and got into some heavy stuff. But she turned it around and through her sobriety grew as a person and as a content creator. Now she’s helping others make it in this crazy business. Join us for a wild ride with Jamie spitting wisdom at every turn, with warmth and humor along the way.

When this doctor was told his child’s diagnosis, he was told he couldn’t do anything about it. He thought that was wrong. So Dr. Robert Melillo dove into how the brain works to try to figure out the cause of conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. You won’t believe what he found. And he now treats it all by changing the brain. It’s pretty mind-blowing and better yet hopeful. Jump into how the left side and right side of the brain work with me. I found out my brain is probably out of balance. Maybe yours is, too? As a reminder, my new book What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Hotter is available wherever books are sold.

My mom is at it again, bringing surprise opinions and stories of yesteryear. Like, did you know when she was growing up there was a dance every Friday and Saturday night? Or that she is one of 9 brothers and sisters? Or that she LOVES “RuPaul’s Drag Race”? We also talk about me having a night away from the kids where I hung with my besties, hit the beach, and had an intense spa treatment. I also met a queen who went wild on some straight boys. It was quite a night. So join us as we discuss this and more. Plus, as a reminder, my new book What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Hotter is available wherever books are sold.
