Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 23!

Nathaniel Greene is a wonderful person. Heck, I should know, I MADE HIM! :)

He's technically an adult now, and I'm not okay with this, but I'm learning to cope. I wanted to start including him in these sorts of endeavors, as he has a desire to go into media and film. Podcasting is close enough. ;)

I hope you enjoy this frank and fun mother/son discussion. Help me adjust as I slowly come to terms with the fact that my son is now a man, and will be leaving the nest soon on his mission.

Oh! Also, he has issued a challenge that you absolutely MUST hear about. Listen in for the deets!

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 22!

OKAY! IT'S DONE! Oh my crap, being a guest is HARD. I've been a guest on other podcasts before, but this is the first time I've been a guest on my own show. :)

This episode is a continuation of the previous episode. For those of you just joining us, my producer, Chris VanGarrett, said it would be an interesting idea for someone to interview me on my own show.

He's got a good nose for these things, so we decided to do it.

He made me cry, TWICE. We discussed matters that I have never discussed in public before.

Honestly, this was wonderful. It was also really hard.

You get to find out my fuel, my oxygen, and my heat. You also get to hear when I plan to have the content for my next book to my publisher!

Thanks to everyone for listening. I love you.

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness podcast, episode 21!

My producer occasionally has good ideas ;) Just kidding. He's a genius, and he knows it.

We were talking about who our next round of guests should be, and he had the bright idea of doing something a bit different, by having me sit in the interviewee hot seat, while he performed the interviewing. Chris is a classically trained broadcast professional and has the voice to boot, (I mean, just LISTEN to him! <3), so I felt like I would be in good hands.

In fact, I was in such good hands, that we ended up talking for over two hours!

Of course, I know my people have things to do, and listening to two people talk for over two hours may take up more time than you usually allot for me, so we spit the interview into two episodes. This is part one, and part two will drop in a week's time.

We go back in the past to what life was like for me as a young trucker's daughter in Provo, UT. The threads that make me Hotness can be traced directly back to these events.

We mention my book, Love Me Too, which is available for purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Me-Too-Finding-Fulfilling-ebook/dp/B07H9JZ2WJ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1627875466&sr=8-1

As usual, we get real here, folks. But, now the spotlight is on me, so it's a little more nerve-racking than I'm used to.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 20!

OH MY CRAP, TWENTY EPISODES! TWENTY, EVERYONE!

This milestone in my podcast career is marked by an amazing discussion with my new friends Dalisey Brooks and her friend Ben Davidson.

You see, Dalisey is from South Africa. She's an entrepreneur, and one of the rare kind who don't give up. Dalisey wanted a better life for herself, so she began reaching out to people over LinkedIn, asking for someone to take her seriously.

She combed through SO many people. So many. You'll have to listen to find out how many, but let's just say it was more than 100.

Even more than 1,000.

She happened upon my friend Ben Davidson, who runs an investment company called Entrepreneurs Against Poverty, or http://entrapov.com . This is a group that seeks to lift up individuals who need help.

Through EntrAPov, Ben has assisted in getting Dailsey's business off the ground, AND he started the process of assisting her in getting help with her education.

Life has changed for Dalisey, and for me, since I had the pleasure of meeting her!

This is a story of inspiration and hope. I cried. A lot. :) I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to The #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 19!

Isn't is amazing that we all have more in common than we have in contrast? Would anyone think that a person like me would find commonality with a Zen Monk who wrote a book all about sitting still, when I am the LEAST likely person to sit still at any given time? (HAHA!)

Meet my wonderful friend Anna Zumwalt! :)

Anna resides here in Utah, and she is a practicing Zen Monk. She sits quietly for two hours each morning, and invites friends from all over the planet to join her via Zoom.

This has really motivated me to look deeper into myself for my own sense of stillness.

She's so great at it, she wrote a children's book about it, aptly titled, Sitting Still. You can pick up a copy right here!

She's also a fantastic and accomplished visual artist. Here&#x27;s her website!

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 18!

My friend Bria has THE most amazing love story you'll hear! It's absolutely wonderful! The only spoiler I will give you is that it has to do with September 11, 2001.

You might be saying, "Leta, isn't that a little odd? A 9/11 love story? Seriously?"

Yes, gentle listener, SERIOUSLY. Would I lie to you? No, I wouldn't, because that would be poopy.

Bria is a married mother of two teenage boys and is MADLY in love with her husband. Her faith in God is what keeps her going. She very much views both Ireland and Utah as her home. She likes to cook, spend time with family and friends, and be active as possible in God's beautiful creation when her body allows it. She draws custom pet portraits in Charcoal and Color Pastel!

You can see her work here: https://www.instagram.com/marietinerua/

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 17!

Oh my crap, I'm back from an AMAZING vacation in Mexico, and I'm SO very thrilled to introduce you to my new friend, Denise Bossarte!

Denise Bossarte is a poet and an award-winning writer, photographer, and artist. She is a certified meditation facilitator, contemplative arts teacher, and an information technology (IT) professional. And she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

She would like to share about the book I wrote, Thriving After Sexual Abuse, (purchase here!) to inspire other survivors and support them on their healing journeys. (Read a review of Denise&#x27;s book here!)

Our journeys parallel each other so closely. I'm so fortunate to have met her, and to count her as part of my circle. :)

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 16!

Oh my crap! It's Pride Month! :)

I thought it appropriate to once again share one of my favorite conversations with one of my favorite people: the fabulous and wonderful Shala Dawn!

Shala is the President and founder of my media Company, VanGarrett Media. She, along with her spouse, Chris VanGarrett, are the ones who bring my podcast to light.

Shala was assigned female at birth, but now identifies as a Gender Fluid Human Being. I wasn't sure what all that meant, and she offered to have a chat with me about it so I could better understand it, and share it with y'all.

The more I learn about the LGBTQIA+ community, the more I realize that we have more in common with the members of the community, than we realize.

Enjoy!

Welcome to The #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 14!

Today I spoke with my friend Alex Mic-Podar, a Romanian Immigrant to the United States. Alex and I met at a networking event, and we were instantly drawn to one another!

Alex's work ethic, spirituality, creativity, and her infinite worth called to my soul in a profound way. Listen as she shares her story about starting her own accounting business here in the states, her feelings on what makes America special, and how she would like to see things progress in this country. :)
