In this episode, I sit down with an incredibly special guest whose story truly embodies what Life Take Two is all about. I talk with a 97 year old Holocaust survivor who shares her firsthand memories of surviving Auschwitz, enduring the death march, and finding the strength to keep living in honor of those who didn’t make it. We dive into resilience, perspective, and what it really means to start again even after unimaginable loss.

If you’ve been feeling a little isolated or craving real connection, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to make life feel full again.

Don is back again and we talk all about the real-life experience of blending a family—what works, what doesn’t, and what we’ve learned along the way. In this episode of Life Take Two, we get open and honest about balancing different parenting styles, dealing with step‑parent dynamics, and finding humor in the chaos of raising six kids between us. We even share what it’s been like stepping into the grandparent stage together and how that changes family connections all over again. If you’re part of a blended family or just curious about how to keep love strong through all the messy moments, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Paola Arencibia, a former teacher who completely reinvented her life to become a stylist helping women rediscover themselves through their closets. We talk about what it really means to have a “take two” in life, the emotional weight hiding in our wardrobes, and how fashion can be so much more than clothes—it’s confidence, healing, and self-expression. If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet thinking you have nothing to wear, this one’s for you. Grab a coffee, peek into your own closet, and join us for some real talk, a few laughs, and maybe the push you need to start your next chapter.

In this first episode of 2026, I open up about one of the most pivotal moments in my life and what it taught me about finding happiness after heartbreak. I share a story from a time when my life felt like it was falling apart and joy seemed impossible, but over dinner in New York with my mom, something changed. I found a quiet spark of hope that caught me by surprise. If you’ve ever wondered when life starts to feel good again after loss or big change, this conversation is for you. I’ll remind you that there’s always a life waiting for you that you can’t yet imagine, and you really can be happy again.
