In this episode of Who I Met Today, former Rockette Sandy Lachenauer reflects on life at Radio City Music Hall and the journey that led to inspiring The Spectacular.

Sandy and I discuss her time as a Rockette, the iconic wooden soldier dance number, and the friendships she made during that time. She shares how a simple email inspired a spectacular historical fiction novel.

This perky 86-year-old was a delight to chat with, and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

In this episode of Who I Met Today, I talk with Dr. Lindsey Jorgensen, an audiologist and professor, about hearing loss, modern hearing aids, and how better hearing can improve confidence, connection, and brain health at any age.

We discuss why so many people delay hearing tests, the early signs of hearing loss that people often miss, and what actually happens during a hearing evaluation. Dr. Jorgensen explains how today’s hearing aids have evolved—becoming smaller, more comfortable, rechargeable, and Bluetooth-enabled—while offering practical guidance on cost, accessibility, and over-the-counter options.

I also share my personal experience with hearing loss and my decision to finally try hearing aids.

This episode is for anyone who has ever turned up the TV, said “pardon?” one too many times, or wondered whether it’s time to get their hearing checked.

In this episode, I sit down with Haley Lamey — a seasoned traveler and master of carry-on packing. If you’ve ever stood over an open suitcase wondering how on earth to pack less (especially with all the lotions and potions we love), this conversation is for you.

Haley walks us through her smartest strategies for traveling with only a carry-on bag, whether you’re gone for a weekend or a ten-day adventure. We talk about building a simple, mix-and-match capsule wardrobe, streamlining toiletries, and navigating those pesky liquid limits.

As Haley says, “Carrying on is completely doable — even for a 10-day trip — if you decide you want to do it.”

If you’re craving lighter travel, smoother airport days, and a little more ease in your adventures, you’ll love this episode.

What a fun next new thing—a color consultation! This would be a perfect adventure to do with a mom, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, or friend. Or a great gift too! In this episode, I chat with House of Colour color analyst, Hannah Garber.

Hannah discusses how she determines your undertones, your season, and what colors look good, better, best on you. Knowing your best colors helps determine the perfect makeup and hair color also.

She helps you decide if black is truly your friend, or is there another neutral that will make you shine and your eyes pop? And what is a universal color, the shade that looks glorious on just about everyone?

Happy 2026! What a great episode for the new year! In this episode, I chat with Phaedra Patrick, the internationally bestselling author of THE CURIOUS CHARMS OF ARTHUR PEPPER. Phaedra discusses the novel, her writing process, charm bracelets, and how Arthur learns that it’s never too late and he isn’t too old!

Phaedra describes her writing shed, her fun new thing, and why she tends to write heartwarming novels about ordinary people who discover the extraordinary in their everyday lives. Phaedra’s stories are about curiosity, reinvention, and the courage to try new things—all themes close to my heart!
