Round and Round

In this episode Janice, Lauren and Nikki discuss media recommendations and influential public figures. They begin by praising a documentary by Mariska Hargitay on her mom Jayne Mansfield who was a 1950s star. They use this as a springboard to discuss how women like Sophia Vergara often navigate being typecast by controlling their own narratives. This leads into a "round table" exercise where each person selects four famous women they admire for their integrity and professional boundaries, citing figures like Kate Winslet, Pink, and Michelle Obama. The dialogue then shifts to their ideal male guests, highlighting the intelligence and charismatic presence of celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Trevor Noah, and Barack Obama. Throughout the exchange, the speakers emphasize their respect for individuals who remain authentic and principled despite the pressures of fame.Which celebrity would you have at your round table?Enjoy!~The VN Podcast XoXoDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and are based on our personal experiences, perspectives, and opinions.
