Imagine shaking and shimmying your way to a fitter version of yourself in just 27 minutes. That's the idea behind PLATEFIT - a high intensity workout that uses vibrating power plates to shimmy you to skinny. Or at least, more fit. I talked with the founder of PLATEFIT Rachael Blumberg about why she created this work out, and if working out on vibrating plates really works.

My guest this week is stand up comic Jenna Kim Jones who is shedding light on the world of comedy while juggling mom life.

The ladies from Moms on the Clock had the bright idea to partner up and combine their talents to share with the world. I can't wait for you to meet Ashley, Steff, Brooke and Beth - the moms from Moms on the Clock!

I'm so grateful that Teresa Reilly shared her story with me. And I can't wait for her to meet her new baby (which I hope she names Heather!). You can follow this inspiring mama on her new journey on her Instagram @teresaclaire.

Katrina Law joins me to talk about her new role on "Hawaii 5-0", what she thinks about "Arrow" now, and being mom to her almost one-year-old daughter, Kinley. Don't forget to leave a review and follow MIH on Instagram!

In LA there seems to be an abundance of events. Every week someone is having a party, hosting a panel, or meet and greet. Honestly it's overwhelming. And a lot of mom influencers/bloggers feel the pressure to attend all of these events, usually without getting paid, to promote whatever brand is hosting. We are usually offered a few products or free tickets to something in exchange for free social media coverage. Some bloggers feel the need to go to every event, pay or not, because they don't wan...

It’s rare in this world to find your mom soulmate. Even rarer still, to find her in Hollywood where everyone seems to be looking for the next leg up using people along the way. Tammin Sursok and Roxy Manning clicked right away when their kids became friends in school. They even finish each others sentences and say they would marry each other if they weren’t already married. So natch, they started a podcast. They host Women on Top on the Dear Media network. Nothing is off limits with this show. ...

Hey friends, real talk ahead. I've been podcasting for four years and more than 200 episodes if you include my bonus episodes, which I do. And honestly, I'm burning out. I was watching Marc Maron's show recent and realized he has been podcasting for 10 years this month and has over a thousand episodes. Holy crap that's a lot of talking. And I realized I don't know if I will make it to a thousand, or even five hundred. I'm burned out. I have too many irons in the fire right now and each one is ta...

Three years ago I was lucky enough to be invited onto the Jim Henson Studios lot in Hollywood to interview executive producer Halle Stanford. Little did I know how much of an impact she would have on my life. We hit it off immediately because Halle's joy is contagious and she genuinely loves what she does, just like me! Now she's joining me to talk about her new show called The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance on Netflix.

When you find a comedy soulmate you grab ahold of them and never let go. Or at least start a podcast with them. That's what LA actors and comedians Betsy Stover and Amanda Allan did when they started the Why Mommy Drinks podcast. It's a funny, relatable and honest look at the parenting moments that drive us to drink.

It's happened to every parent at least once, you turn around at the store, movies or mall and your kid disappears in seconds. Your heart races as your mind quickly runs through all of the horrible scenarios. Then you find the stinker hiding in a clothing rack because they think you're playing hide and seek. Can you tell this has happened to me? It's also happened to moms Ellie Kanner and Lisa Solomon who have created The Game Plan Game. It's a board game designed to teach kids life lessons as th...

Isabel Echeverry had a vision many years ago while working at ICM to help Latinos make it in Hollywood. She has a self-described gift of connecting people and lifting them up. Cut to 10 years later and her vision is now a reality. Echeverry founded Kontakto and now represents some of Hollywoods top Latin actors and entertainment companies.

Sometimes you get just a feeling about someone when you meet them. Like they are down-to-earth and would make a great friend. That's what I felt when I met Courtney Lopez, wife of host and actor Mario Lopez. We were introduced through our mutual friend Erin Ziering a taping of Erin's talk show and immediately bonded over our love of the East Side of LA (different than East LA BTW). And after talking with her I realized we have a lot more in common than just location.

Summer is here! Now what do we wear? Celebrity Stylist and TV Personality Ali Levine is sharing personal style tips for every mom on the go.Ali has shared her work with The New York Times, FabFitFun, and USA Today and now Motherhood in Hollywood! Ali is also a new mom learning to navigate motherhood in and stay true to herself in the process.We started with a topic that's near and dear to my heart....shoes! Ali says this summer it's all about adding height with a summer sandal or wedge. She sent...

Meg Weidner is an actress who became a mom and was struggling with feeling like a failure. Raise your hand if you've been there? *raises hand*She joins me on the show to talk about the film she created and stars in called "Best Mom." The film follows Addy in her quest to be the best mom for her daughter. But as it turns out, that's impossible. So in a last ditch effort to connect with her child, she joins an improv group and discovers the joy of failing up. What does that mean? You can watch "Be...

Like millions of people around the world I was disappointed with the ending to Game of Thrones. Not enough to sign a petition or cancel my HBO. But enough that it's been keeping me up at night. I've been running the story lines around in my head about what could have been, or should have been. It doesn't help that I look at Twitter to see what other fans are feeling and seeing all of fan theories being shared that make a lot of sense.So when my friend Lara Scott from K-EARTH 101 invited me to he...

I was telling my friend Heather the other day that I interviewed Jamie Denbo who created a show all about the Ren Faire. Her reaction, like mine, was...FINALLY! Why hasn't this subject been explored and put on display for all to see before? Denbo created "American Princess" which airs on Lifetime on June 2nd. I invited her to tell me about this show and how she became an actress, producer and top improviser.

Still feeling very inspired after this conversation with Katie Locke O'Brien. She, like many, moved out to Hollywood to be an actress. But in recent years she's found creative outlets in other areas of entertainment. She applied for the inaugural NBC Diversity and Inclusion Female Forward program, was accepted and recently directed an episode of AP Bio on NBC. All within in the last 2 years!

I don't know why I'm still surprised, but every week when I interview someone new I get another mom crush. Lara Scott is no exception. She is a bright light and I'm mad that I didn't meet her sooner. She is so easy to talk to and a great listener, both are qualities that make her an outstanding radio personality for K-EARTH 101.Lara got started in radio at the age of 17 in Bend, Or. She and a friend thought the local morning DJ sounded cute, so her friend dared her to call the station. She wound...

When it was announced that Will and Grace was coming back, no one was more excited and surprised than my friend Amy Crofoot. Amy was a stand in for Debra Messing during the first run of the series and was invited to come back and share her talents for the second run. At first it was only going to be for a limited run, but the show was so popular NBC greenlit it for more episodes. Amy had no idea that by saying yes it would quickly expand into several seasons worth of work.

I have a new mom friend! Her name is Beth Bowen and we were destined to meet. I first heard about Beth from my friend Stefanie Fair when she was on my podcast a few years ago. Stefanie suggested I reach out to Beth at that time to have her on my show but I dropped the ball and it fell through the cracks. Cut to a year and a half later and Beth and I were invited to speak on a panel at Influential Summit in Carlsbad where we bonded over our love/hate relationship with social media and the enterta...

I can't even imagine the balls it took for Jamie Otis and Dough Hehner to get married at first sight. But that's exactly what they did! They were on the first season of the hit Lifetime show "Married at First Sight" and are coming up on their 5th wedding anniversary. In the last 5 years they've faced challenges just like every newlywed couples do, but they did it under the watchful public eye. And from what I can tell, a lot of people are rooting for them to make it! So I was very excited to tal...

How many of you saw your marriage change in some way after having kids? It may not necessarily mean a negative shift but everyone's life changes when kids come into the picture. This week we're talking to author NYT bestselling author Jancee Dunn about her book How Not To Hate Your Hubs After Kids. She's sharing her humorous look at how her marriage changed when her daughter was born.

My friend Erin Cardillo is on the show this week talking about her new movie, and first movie, "Isn't it Romantic." She first started writing this movie 9 years ago. Nine years! And it's now hitting theaters. Let this serve as a lesson in not giving up on your dreams.
