TV, film and web director Shannon Flynn talks about life behind the lens! She has directed hundreds of TV shows and worked with huge stars like Miley Cyrus, Debby Ryan, and more. If you've seen a popular kids show on Disney or Nickelodeon in the past decade, chances are Shannon directed it. She talks about watching Miley Cyrus grow up before her eyes, and how child stars in real life vs what we see on TV. She was very supportive of the current movement that's encouraging more producers to hire female directors. You want to have a woman's perspective and not the same guys over and over again....

Autumn Reeser (Sully, The OC, Entourage) is a working actress and mom of 2. She also travels a lot for work so as you can imagine there's a lot of juggling going on.

So when you're a mom with no child care in place, what do you do? She talks about the challenges of raising very physical boys. It's a different ball game than with girls! And where her career is going next. She'll be starring in The Arrangement coming out in March 2017 and...

Allison Munn (What I like about you, Nicky Ricky, Dicky and Dawn, One Tree Hill) is my guest this week! She gives us an inside look at what life is like as a working actress and mom of 2. There is a ton of pressure when you're a lead on a TV show, especially for women. Allison is really open about the pressure she feels AND puts on herself to look a certain way. She also feels pressure to nail every joke, which when you're in comedy, is way harder than it looks. We also talk about child care options for actresses on TV. Does everyone have a nanny? Do you judge people who have nanny's? Well...

Stefanie Fair is a former child star (Golden Girls, Blossom) and 1/3 of the 90's pop band Wild Orchid (Renee Sandstrom & Fergie!). She stops by to tell us why she chose to pursue a family after years of touring in her music group.  She was in the trenches with groups like Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, and 98 Degrees but Wild Orchid never rose to the same level of success. No idea why because they sounded amazing! But the music biz is ridiculous sometimes. Where she did find success was in being a mom to her four kids.
