  • What if the way you dress could change how the world perceives you? In this episode, Olympic runner and commentator Carrie Tollefson joins as we unpack how style influences perceptions, especially for public figures like Kamala Harris. We discuss whether societal norms around fashion are innate or learned, while contemplating the often harsher scrutiny faced by women. Carrie shares her firsthand experiences from the Paris Olympics, offering a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of women's sports. We dig into the role of technology, such as carbon-plated shoes, and the expressive fashion that athletes are embracing today. Carrie’s insights offer a nostalgic yet forward-thinking reflection on how far sports have come and where they're headed. Lastly, we turn the focus inward, exploring the balance between career, family, and maintaining an athlete's mindset. Carrie opens up about her own journey from athlete to commentator, sharing lessons learned from sports that translate into everyday life. Everyone is an athlete: what is your unique form of athleticism?

  • For anyone who has watched, heard about, or read about the Golden Bachelor, one statement is true: you likely fell in love with Leslie Fhima. Leslie is a Minnesota born and raised, 65-year-old woman who has always been willing to try something new to explore where it may take her. As a young figure skater, it was her dream to be a part of the Ice Follies, a touring ice show with elaborate productions, which she auditioned for and joined for 2 years following high school. In the 80s, she opened up Leslie’s Shape Shop, an aerobics studio, after training with Jane Fonda, and continued her journey as a personal trainer and fitness instructor with LifeTime. Leslie Fhima and co-host, Lisa Rubin, have been extremely close friends since high school. As Lisa would say, “Leslie is always reinventing herself and ahead of her time”.

    In this episode, we hear more about Leslie’s upbringing and her past that brought her to the person we were introduced to on national television. We learn about the friendships fostered from the Golden Bachelor, her feelings today towards Gerry, the behind the scenes of the clothing, hair and makeup on the show, and what is next for Leslie. She is authentically and truly herself (Lisa can attest to that).
