Misty's honesty

I loved the way Misty opened up about her background and the way she went ahead in her career. it must have been very difficult for her but it was clear she is a very determined person! loved the Prosecco bit in the kitchen...my favorite drink too!!
Michele's style of gentle probing made the whole interview interesting!

Grace

In what could have been a difficult story to relate, Misty projects such grace and confidence. I enjoyed her realness and peace.
