This week's guest is the incredible actress Josie Bissett. Josie is recognized internationally for her role as the popular 'Jane Mancini' on FOX-TV's "Melrose Place," which ended its successful seven-year run in May 1999.
The Seattle native began her career in front of the camera at the age of 12 as a model in print advertisements and television commercials. At 16, she left home and moved to Japan to further her career and at 17 headed to Hollywood to make her mark. Josie soon landed the role of 'Cara' on "The Hogan Family," where she spent two seasons. Within two years of her arrival in Los Angeles, Josie was cast on "Melrose Place" and quickly became one of television's most recognizable actors.
In Part 1 of our interview, we talk to Josie about her recent guest appearance on Fantasy Island and now as an empty nester, her desire to enter the acting world again. She shares how her career started and what it was like to be married young in Hollywood. We also dish on what it was like to work on the set of Melrose Place and so much more.
Part 2 of our Josie Bissett interview will be available on Wednesday.

On this episode, we talk to the Anxiety Sisters. Anxiety was already the most common mental health disorder in the United States, and then came the Pandemic. So if you’re feeling anxious, join the Anxiety Sister's Club.
Abs (Abbe Greenberg) and Mags (Maggie Sarachek) have spent the past thirty years figuring out how to outsmart their anxiety-ridden brains, and the last five years sharing what they’ve learned with a growing online community of more than 200,000 like-minded sufferers from 200+ countries who are looking for ways to cope better every day. In their new book, THE ANXIETY SISTERS’ SURVIVAL GUIDE: How You Can Become More Hopeful, Connected, and Happy, Abs and Mags offer everything you’ve ever wanted to know about anxiety but were too anxious to ask.
We talk to the women about their community, their anxiety survival kits and how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems can help or hurt your anxiety levels. You don't have to go it alone!
