Kathryn interviews Author Nancy Regan.In her first book, the former television broadcaster, Nancy Regan, gives us a behind-the-scenes account of her experience hosting a newsmagazine with a daily audience of over a quarter million—and interviewing some of the biggest celebrities in the world—all while studiously concealing fear, insecurity, and self-doubt. With remarkable candor, Regan describes how she created the illusion of having it all together because she didn't want anyone to know how close she was to falling apart. Featuring soulful lessons from her conversations with such luminaries as Oprah and bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat Pray Love) and serving up some of her favorite practices for staying grounded in presence, she shares with us a powerful roadmap for living a more authentic life. She was the highly rated host of CTV's Atlantic's Live at 5 for fifteen years and as an actor, appeared in tv and film productions such as Haven, Trailer Park Boys, and Reversible Errors.Kathryn also interviews Author Meredith Bagby.In 1978, NASA announced its first class of civilian astronauts, opening its ranks to candidates beyond white male fighter pilots.
