I loved listening to 2 of my favorite women. I feel blessed to have met both of you (not at the same time) and have your books signed by you. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your experiences. It gives hope to so many to know that even famous women like yourselves face the same challenges that so many and have no fear of discussing it. Thank you ladies. xo
