About this episode
Actor Greg Grunberg and TV Host Leeza Gibbons join us on this week's show!

Greg Grunberg, who appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Heroes Reborn in late 2015, and Star Trek Beyond in 2016, is best known for his role as Matt Parkman, the mind-reading police officer on the television series Heroes. In real life, Grunberg is a hero and advocate of a different kind — serving as an advocate for people with epilepsy all over the country, including his oldest son, Jake, who was diagnosed at seven years old. Greg will share his experience as a dad and caregiver for his son and how they manage his epilepsy, and tell us about a new awareness campaign called #MyEpilepsyHero for Epilepsy Awareness Month.


Caring for a loved one can be an extremely rewarding experience, but it can also be difficult and overwhelming. Many caregivers deal with guilt and worry about the amount of time they spend with a parent or family member. TV Host Leeza Gibbons is a longtime advocate for caregivers and joins us for National Caregivers Month. She will discuss improvements in senior care, share caregiving tips and offer her personal experience caring for her father.


Women make approximately 80 percent of the health care decisions in their families and take the lead role in choosing health plans. So much of the burden rests on women to make health care decisions for themselves and their families this open enrollment, which is why we are talking to our next guest. She is one of the top wealth experts in the country and host of the popular radio show Renegade Millionaire, Winnie Sun. She has the results of an informative new study about working moms’ healthcare choices.


Tamara Walker, RN, aka MomRN, and her expert guests share practical advice, information and support for raising a happy, healthy family.
