Roblox may look like just another game, but for many parents, it’s raising serious questions about online safety. From allegations involving predators and hidden chat features to concerns about social media-like addiction and children being directed to third-party platforms, the risks aren’t always obvious.
Joining me are attorneys—and moms—Natalie Suri and Eileen Keusseyan of Keosian Law, who are representing families in several cases involving Roblox and are working to raise awareness about the potential dangers parents should know.

Lily Hart is a modern-day renaissance woman — a creator in the truest sense. She’s an author, artist, herbalist, and someone deeply committed to living a life of purpose. Three years ago, when her father was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, Lily found what felt like a true calling. She rolled up her sleeves and began learning everything she could about the liver — exploring homeopathic, ancient, and international healing methods to support her father not just physically, but emotionally, too. That journey became the foundation for her book, The Liver: Listen to the Whispers Before They Become Screams.
Her fascination with healing from the inside out eventually expanded into the creation of her own skin and hair products, rooted in the same philosophy: that wellness begins within. Lily does it all because she remains endlessly curious. She doesn’t allow societal constraints to dictate how she lives her life. Instead, she follows what feels purposeful, creative, and aligned. In this episode, we talk about the signs your liver may be struggling, simple ways to begin supporting your body today, and how curiosity can become the doorway to your next calling.

Eddie Zaratsian has spent decades shaping a world of beauty and luxury through his groundbreaking work in events, florals, and design. He’s collaborated with major names like Restoration Hardware, Mark’s Garden, and Oprah, and has helped redefine what elevated event design can look and feel like.
But beyond the stunning career is a much deeper conversation. We talk about what it really takes to stay relevant, inspired, and aligned through decades of success. About trust, discernment, gratitude, and the spiritual grounding that keeps you connected to your purpose. Eddie reminds us that success isn’t something we’re simply owed — it’s something sacred, something guided, and something we’re meant to channel with humility and intention.

She’s a familiar face to so many Angelenos—an Emmy award-winning journalist who spent decades in local news, including anchoring right here in Los Angeles at KTLA and later at KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV.
But beyond the headlines and the bright lights… there’s a deeper story.
A story about identity, reinvention, and what happens when the career you’ve built for decades suddenly shifts.
She’s someone I’ve long admired—first as a young journalist looking up to her… and now, as someone walking a path not so different from mine.
Today, we’re talking about resilience, letting go, and what it really means to rebuild…
and yes—what we don’t miss about the industry either… the early wake-up calls, the constant glam, the big hair, and how much of your personal life gets wrapped up in the job.

After more than a decade at KTLA, I was unexpectedly laid off — and like many life pivots, it didn’t come with a roadmap. In this candid solo episode, I share the emotional rollercoaster of that moment, the thoughts that followed, and how I’m learning to surrender to the unknown while trusting that life sometimes redirects us exactly where we’re meant to go.
