He's gonna tell with leeen tell me exactly what attracted

(04:35):
up to since the strip, of course, because now we're
all back at what Ron, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I've fad Thank you, thanks for having so. Tell me
about your initial thoughts when you first read the script
Killing Castro.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Well, the story it's based on this period in nineteen
sixty when Malcolm X and Fidel Castro were at the
same hotel up in Harlem. So my first thought was like, wait,
did that didn't really happen? Right? And they're like, no, no,
that part's true or how much the rest of it is.
But it just makes it kind of for a great setting,
both in time and place. I think it's a it's
(05:11):
kind of a microcosm a little bit for America in
nineteen sixty headed into the sixties, but the pieces are
already in motion and yeah, so it feels like it's
a great origin story for like what was going to
go down in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It definitely tells an important piece of history. And when
you look at the dynamic between the US government and
Cuba at the time, you could definitely find a lot
of parallels with whatever's happening currently in the world. And
this is quite the interesting story that really has been untold,
and no one really knew what happened in that, you know,
in that time period when fetal castill net not the
(05:51):
next for the very first time. But I can't wait
to see I definitely can't wait to see your performance
in this. Now, let's talk about you in your career.
You're performance, so this is very different than your typical
the typical roles that you've taken on in the last decade.
You came off of a couple of projects that were
very interesting Feather Weather, Weah and to Strike Right there
(06:16):
was that one too, And you are.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Trained very classically. You're Harvard, no Yale. Here's there's other
people here on Harvard, but Yale. And you did go
to school with Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton, is that correct?
So tell me about that experience. All three of you
extremely successful actors.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
You know, it was it was great.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
It was this theater scene I think at when I
was there in school was very much it was due
it yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It wasn't a conservatory program where it was all kind
of laid out, so it I thought it was actually
really good prep for the way it works in Los Angeles,
where it's kind of like, hey, I'm doing this thing,
and you available to do this thing that I'm doing,
and it's like yeah, okay. You know, everyone was kind
of working together on it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's very interesting the transition that you all went through
as career paths. But bringing you full circle, full circle
to this film set. So you're from LA and you're
from West Coast, and we're in a very frigid cold
in New York City, New Jersey area, in the chay
Seat area.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Well, for I grew up. I grew up in eastern Iowa,
So I grew up I grew up in the cold.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But I've gotten soft.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I've been in LA for about thirty years, so I
love it. I love getting back. I love getting back.

right here on seven to ten WR the voice of
New york iHeartRadio. I'm your host, Zen. Sam's coming up
in the Hydration with Hearts segment brought to you by
One Spawn a Coconut. Today, we're featuring Super Mama news
anchor and reporter and of course, influencer Kayla Sullivan. Get ready,
(10:41):
to grab your juice boxes and settle in, my friends,
because today we have the queen of breaking news straight
from the frontlines of parenthood. Kayla's going to be joining us.
She has nearly two million social media followers, and she's
perfected the art of reporting on the daily chaos that
every parent knows all too well. From sippy cup mysteries,
bedtime negotiations that would make the un jealous. She's turned
(11:03):
the wild world of motherhood into the funniest news you've
ever seen. Today, we're diving into how she balanced this career,
kids and the occasional meltdown hers or the kids. We'll
let her clarify. Kyla, Welcome to the show, superstar. Thank
you so much. I'm happy to be here all right Now,
before we dive in and go any further, listeners, I'm
(11:24):
gonna play you a little SoundBite of her online content.
Have a listen.
Speaker 14 (11:28):
Kayla's all have been reporting Lyne from outside my son's bedroom,
where he's currently being detained until naptime is over. Now,
this story does involve a minor so I can't release specifics,
but what I can confirm is my son is a
two year old terrorist who held me hostage at the
Olive Garden earlier today. It's important to note the friends
I met there do not have children and likely never
(11:51):
will after witnessing this situation firsthand. This is an active investigation,
but authorities believe the proper precautions were taken. I brought
my son's favorite snacks and even risked judgment from other
moms by bringing an iPad, But not even Cocomelan could
have stopped this meltdown. After several cries demanding quote chetchup, yeh,
(12:12):
a good Samaritan waitress miraculously understood it as the English
word ketchup and brought him a bottle. Unfortunately, her good
deed was later punished after he threw a ketchup covered
fork at her. Not all heroes wear capes, but this
one should have worn an apron. You know, these toddler
outbursts are becoming increasingly common as more and more parents
(12:34):
try out the new craze gentle parenting and completely suck
at it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I'll keep trying back to you, all right, let's dive
right in hilarious and super talented. Oh my goodness, you
have all the checkbox checked, Kayla. You have made quite
the leap from TV news anchor to social media star
with nearly two million followers. That's how I found you.
What was the moment that made you dic? I, Hey,
(13:00):
you know what TikTok is where I belong. I mean,
is it more fun reporting on the daily chaos of
parenthood than the evening news? Tell me? Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 14 (13:08):
I mean there's a saying no one loves to be
the bearer of bad news. So I went from doom
and gloom to making people laugh and that has meant
the world to me. I'm still using the same skills
that I had as a news reporter, but instead of
going to different sources in the community and talking about
really serious topics, I'm talking about everyday life and the
(13:31):
sources me. A lot of my content comes from me
living life and the things that my kids are going
through or that I'm going through, mainly as a parent,
in the daily struggles. But I've wanted to be a
news reporter my entire life. I mean, in the fourth grade,
I was doing the school announcements and reporting on what
we were having for lunch that day in my news voice,
(13:53):
and so I've always had that little news voice, and
I loved being on cameras. So it was really a
dream come true to become a TV news reporter.
Speaker 15 (14:01):
And I loved it.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
I loved the feeling of going live and it was
awesome during that time in my life. But once I
became a mom, it got all too real. The stories
were the stories were tough. So I love doing the best.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Of both worlds now. I love the story. You're a comedian,
your mom, You're a career girl. I mean, you're doing
it all now before we died. Just a little bit deeper, deeper,
I want to rewind a bit to something you just
said when you were in the fourth grade, what inspired
you to become a news anchor? I mean, it's been
a childhood dream, like you said, but did you stumble
(14:38):
into it? I mean, how did this all unfold?
Speaker 14 (14:41):
I was the end ball that knew what she wanted
to do from a really young age, and then my
whole life surrounded it. And it's funny because there are
photos and videos of me in blazers, like interviewing people
and doing the news in my basement, and so this
was some thing that I always dreamt of doing, and
(15:02):
I made it happen. You know, even in college, I
brought a TV camera to a party to get b roll,
which is video for a story of college students drinking,
because I needed it because there was a lifeline law
that gave immunity to college students. And well, my friends
were like, you're so weird, like calm down, just enjoy life.
(15:24):
But I loved it, and so it's money that I
never really stopped doing it, even in a way that's entertainment,
and so I think that this is so much more
enjoyable what I'm doing now. I will always respect the news,
but things change when you become a mom, and I'm
(15:45):
so fortunate that I was able to still do what
I love. But I found something that works for me
and my schedule and that work life balance.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That's great. Now you've really nailed that perfect blend of
humor and reality into your skits. Let me tell you,
parents everywhere are nodding along and thinking, yep, that's my life.
How do you keep your content so relatable and fresh?
I mean, do the kids ever give you material quote
unquote to work with that you weren't even expecting.
Speaker 14 (16:13):
Everything I report on or make a skit on is
inspired by a true story.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
You know that.
Speaker 14 (16:19):
Disclaimer at the beginning of those movies like this was inspired.
I should have that disclaimer on everything because it's all real,
and I think that's why it resonates so well with
people on social media, because I think a lot of
kids do what I mean, My kids aren't any different
than any normal kid. And I also I also really
(16:40):
look for things that I think other people are going
through because I think that that's the service that I'm providing,
is relatability and if it's funny, if I can kind
of find something that I feel like every parent experiences,
that's the stuff that I look for.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now you've recently gotten married and become a step mom. Congratulations,
thank you. That must have added a new layer to
your content or even to your personal life. I'm sure
there's those shortage of blended family moments that could go viral,
so I'm sure you're getting content on that and too.
Now let's talk about balancing career and motherhood. So, you
(17:16):
know Kayla Jessica Turner from The Mom Creative. I always
follow her. I don't know if you know who Jessica
Turner is. She's from The Mom Creative. She talked about
the importance of carving out time for both your career
and your family without feeling guilty about either. And it's
about finding that harmony, not balance, she said. And it's
interesting because you're connecting with millions of parents online, especially
(17:38):
working moms. I'm one of them. What do you think
it is about your content that resonates so deeply with us?
Is it the shared struggles, the lapse, or maybe a
little of both. And before you answer that, how important
has authenticity been in building your career both on and
off social media.
Speaker 14 (17:57):
It's funny because as a TV news reporter, what was
most important to me was the truth and honesty. So
authenticity is everything on social media as well. Because I'm
reporting the truth of parenting. I'm reporting the the ugly truth,
if you will, but in a lighthearted way. And I
think that that's why people like it, because I'm not
(18:19):
sugarcoating things. I'm telling you how it is, and I'm
not complaining and I'm not condoning bad behavior as a parent.
I'm very self deprecating, but the message is always I'm
still trying. I'm still trying to be better this. I
might have failed, I might have forgotten my son's lunchbox today,
but we're gonna keep trying and tomorrow is gonna be
(18:41):
a better day, and that balance of you know, work
and life and making sure that you are okay with
asking for help. I really hope that people know that
it is a village that raises children, and I think
a lot of the time, you know, when I started
doing this, I was a single mom and I found
(19:01):
community in my following, and it was an outlet for
me to feel less alone in parenting because I didn't
have a partner in parenting. And so I think that
it's so nice that social media has provided that ability
for people to be watching and saying, oh my gosh,
me too.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Oh I feel that.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
Exact same way. So I think that's why my content
has been successful, because I've been so honest and I
haven't tried to gloss over the difficulty. But at the
same time, the message isn't this is difficult. I want
to give up the messages this is difficult.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I still love it.
Speaker 14 (19:32):
Here are some ways that you know I can cope,
And I love the comment section.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
There's always good tips. You know.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
I'll talk about a.
Speaker 14 (19:39):
Struggling issue, like, for instance, my son not wanting to
wear pants. He's obsessed with wearing shorts, but it's cold outside,
so mom's will comment. You know what I do is I'll,
you know, lay out three different pairs of pants and
then he gets to choose so he feels more in
control or whatever. And then I try those things and
it actually helps me be a better mom. But if
I wouldn't have shared that that struggle, then I would
(20:01):
have never gotten that advice. So I think it's a
really good way for other parents, even in the comments section,
to learn how to be a better parent and how
to get out of some of these sticky situations that
I report on.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, your content definitely has that genuine, down to earth
vibe that so many people connect with. It reminds me
again I go through all these mom blocks. It reminds
me of what Jill Smokelers from Scary Mommy always says,
authenticity is key, and people appreciate real life struggles and
victories more than any polished version of reality. Right, So
(20:33):
I think you've nailed it now. We talked about balancing
career and parenting, and now being a stepmom sounds like
a full plate. What's your best advice for working moms
trying to keep all those plates spinning without losing their minds.
Speaker 14 (20:47):
I touched on this a little bit earlier, but being
okay accepting and seeking help. I know that help may
not always be readily available, but at least trying to
seek it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We can't do this on our own.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
I feel like keeping human or in your life is
always really helpful for me, you know, just kind of
laughing at myself and being like, okay, like you got this.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It happens. Every mom goes through this.
Speaker 14 (21:08):
Try not to compare yourself to other moms. There's no
such thing as a perfect mom. And really, I know
this comes from a place.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Of privilege and I'm very grateful for it.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
But trying to find a job that works for you
and your family. I know that not everyone might be
able to do that, but just seeking that out, trying
to talk to different people about, hey, are there any
jobs that offer maybe working from home, or are there
any jobs that I can get off at three so
I can be there to pick up my son or
whatever whatever works for you. If you don't have that,
(21:40):
help finding an employer that does actually support working moms.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
They exist, They're rare.
Speaker 14 (21:48):
I hope that the industry changes more so that they're
more supportive of working moms, but finding people who will
trust that you get the job done, but let you
leave for that doctor's appointment for your kid. And I
think that that's really important. So just seeking those jobs,
finding something that works for you and your family, and
asking for help, I think is really important. But the
(22:08):
humor aspect is what works best for me. Without humor,
I think I'd lose my mind for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
A great laugh is always a great remedy. Now here's
a fun one. If you could do a special news
report on any overlooked aspect of parenting, what would it be?
I mean, something that doesn't get enough fair time but
totally deserves it.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
I do think blended families would provide some really good content.
I wish there was more blended family content out there,
But I don't usually let parenthood topics go overlooked. If
it's going on in my life, I report on it,
and I can tell you what I'm working on right now.
Something that I realize I'll be probably posting a report
on soon is the fact that, for some reason, ever
(22:50):
since I became a mom, I've started talking in third person,
like I'll be like, mommy needs to go potty, before
the heart, Mommy needs a break, Mommy.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Needs a copy. And I don't know why I do that.
I don't do it in any other aspect of life.
Speaker 14 (23:03):
And so sometimes I realize these things about myself and
I'm like, that is funny, so I can turn it
into a report. You know, authorities are working into why
I'm doing this and why other parents are doing this.
Even I even say, like, mommy and Daddy need to
talk about that. Why can't I just guy, We're going
to talk.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
It's a weird. I don't know why I do it,
but I do it too. I know why do we
do it? I do it too, And I'm a blunted family.
Have an eight and a half year old, a twenty
two year old who just graduated University of Georgia was
now in the talent program at CAA to be a
talent agent. And my step son is at University of Syracuse.
He's nineteen. So I got lots of stories to tell you,
but that's a different podcast. Now, looking ahead, where do
(23:40):
you see your content going in the next few years?
I mean, are there any new projects or directions you're
excited to explore, Maybe something outside of TikTok and Instagram.
I mean, do you see yourself diving even deeper into
the world of social media or pulling back into the
world of news anchoring.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
I see myself expanding on social media. I'd really like
to get into YouTube. By haven't really done anything on
YouTube or like longer form content. I think that would
be really fun to make entire newscasts because I have
so many lead of these short newscasts, so making a
longer form newscast on YouTube is really a good idea,
and I think that I'm going to pursue that. I
also think that I would love to start a podcast.
(24:19):
There's just a lot of different things that I can do,
trying to further that humor in parenting, and just trying
to build that community with other moms and dads because
dads are part of this too.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
I do really want to support working moms, but I
think parents in general just enjoy to.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Look back on these moments in life.
Speaker 14 (24:39):
I love my content because it kind of serves as
a baby book for my son because when I look back,
I started doing this when he was two.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
He's five now, so I can look back and be.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Like, oh, I forgot all about the time that he
used to take off his shoes and thrill him in
the call all the time. But I reported on it,
so I when he did that, and other parents, I think,
will watch my news reports and I remember when.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
My two year old used to do that.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
I kind of miss it. I hate it then, but
I miss it now. So I think it's really a
fun way to document his childhood. So I want to
continue doing that with the thought in mind that this
could eventually get embarrassing for him. So maybe I'll stop
focusing it so much on my son in particular if
it does get embarrassing. But maybe I'm talking to other
parents about their experiences, or I'm just kind of talking
(25:24):
about parenting in general and not calling out one child
or another.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I think it's relatable.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
I think it's important regardless, and there's a lot of
room to continue doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Wow, well, you definitely have your work cut out for you.

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten pm on seven ten wor the Voice of
New York.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven ten WR the
voice of New york iHeartRadio. I'm your host Zenzam's up
next in the Discover Your Potential segment brought to you
by Keep the Pass. Today, we're joined by our regular
contributor and co host Anna de Vere and she is
joined by journalist and advocate Mitzi Perdue. Mitzi is a
(28:09):
tremendous force with a long list of accomplishments, some of
which include being a former rice grower, the past president
of the thirty five thousand member American agri Women, and
a former syndicated columnist for both Scrips Howard and her
column The Environment in You, which was the most widely
syndicated environmental column in the country in the nineteen nineties.
(28:31):
As a war correspondent in Ukraine, she's visited three times
since the full scale invasion and has had more than
over one hundred articles published in outlets such as The
Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Newsweek, with many of
the interviews for her articles being conducted in actual bomb
shelters in cities under active attack. They're going to join
(28:53):
me today to chat all about Mitzi's efforts in improving
the mental health crisis spreading awareness and the importance of
giving back. Welcoming now to the show are my friends
at A Devir and Mitzi Perdue. Welcome superstars.
Speaker 15 (29:06):
Yay, thank you, Zen.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Mitzi, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
What a joy to be with you. I love your
show and I love the premise of the show.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
All right, let's dive right in. So let's start off
with what you're currently working on and why. I understand
that the program you created, mental health dot Global, was
started in an effort to address the problem outline by
the World Health Organization, namely that more than one billion
people are living with a debilitating mental illness. In fact,
the prevalence of all mental disorders worldwide increase by fifty
(29:37):
percent between the nineteen nineties and two thousand and thirteen.
So it's clear of focus on improving mental health is
exceedingly important, as it's an issue that is certainly not
going away. Please tell us more about your program and
what it is doing to help.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Okay, I got into it because while in Ukraine, I
kept interviewing people, particularly war crimes victims, who we're suffering
from like panic attacks or depression or disassociation, and I'd
ask others, Are they going to get help? And the
answer was no, not a chance. There's many's fifteen million
people in Ukraine right now who have mental health issues.
(30:15):
How do you address that? Oh, since there aren't enough
mental health professionals in the world to take care of them.
And so my background actually is computer science and I
wrote my master's thesis on computers and I began wondering,
might it be possible to use an equivalent of chat
(30:37):
GPT to provide emergency first aid? And that's what I'm
up to.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Wow, well, this, I mean, this sounds like an incredible
program because with such a large population to your point,
struggling with their mental health. According to the World Health Organization,
even before COVID nineteen pandemic, which was brought what of
course brought about its own slew of issue, is just
a fraction of those in need of mental health care
(31:03):
had access to quality, affordable and actually effective treatment. So
you're onto something now. I know Anna has some questions,
so I'll let her hand that, I'll let her take
it away.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Yeah, and I think MITSI, you've already kind of raised this,
but you've traveled to Ukraine three times in the past
few years, a great risk to yourself, I have to add,
but why did you decide to do a pilot of
your program there?
Speaker 11 (31:26):
In particular?
Speaker 8 (31:28):
I did it because I have contacts in Ukraine right now.
Who are the ones who I have particular contacts with
the police, because it's the police who investigate war crimes
and they're the ones who introduced me to people who
want to talk about what the Russians did to them.
But I would say, pretty much every case of anybody
(31:49):
I've interviewed, they have issues like insomnia, panic attacks, depression,
just endless And so it seemed to me, if I'm
going to work on this, maybe work where I already
have a network of people who want to help, including
academics at the University of Ukraine. And right now we've
(32:13):
very likely raised money to hire somebody full time at
the University of Ukraine two or Ukraine University to help
operationalize this. So that's why we're starting there.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But the goal is for it to be global, excellent, phenomenal.
Now I know you. After your second trip there, you
decided to auction off your historic Emerald Engagement ring to
benefit Ukraine, which part of the one point two million
proceeds going to a women's shelter, and another part going
(32:45):
to landmine clearance efforts. Missy, it's abundantly clear that you
dedicated to your life and efforts to giving back major
altruistic acts. So one drives your passion.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Oh that's so easy to answer. I got influenced by
Mother Teresa and a quick quick story. But Napoleon Bonaparte
and Mother Teresa both had biographies, and I read biographies
of both the same week. Napoleon had all the money, glory, power, status,
sex that the world has to offer. Mother Teresa, with
(33:16):
her vow of poverty and chastity, had none of that,
and yet at the end of their lives, Napoleon said,
I can't count five happy days in my life, even
with all those goodies that the world offers. Mother Teresa,
on the other hand, who her only property was three
sorries and the shoes on her feet, the sandals on
(33:37):
her feet, she describes her life as a feast of
unending joy. So which is better to have a feast
of an ending joy to not have five happy days
in your own life? So it seems to me that
philanthropy is selfishly kind of a road to happiness and
you mentioned, bring feels so happy that I did that.
It gave me more joy to give it a way,
(34:00):
and it did to own it.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
You are gorgeous. I would say the same thing. But
you know, MITSI, as.
Speaker 15 (34:06):
A war correspondent, you've dealt firsthand with some pretty extreme
conditions and circumstances. I just wonder how you maintain yountal
your own mental health enough, how you could advise other
people who may feel really overwhelmed by what's happening in
the world today.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
All right, I have a premise that I followed. I
recommend to everybody your responsibility is and I'm being metaphorical
when I say this, but your responsibility is to live
to fight another day. And what does that translate into
real life? It means you can't just immerse yourself twenty
four to seven in the pain horrors that have going
(34:44):
on in the world. Do you go nuts? So I
make it an absolute requirement to have at least an
hour a day of something that's uplifting. And so what
I do is so small and trivial, but I'll share
it with you. So there are all these wonderful of
like people rescued animals, or there's beautiful parts of life.
(35:08):
So anybody who's in danger of burnout, you must it's
medically necessity to give yourself a respite. You have to
live to fight another day. You just can't give into
a full diet of the unbearable.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's great advice. Now you're leading quite the charge and
using social media as a vehicle for advocacy and change,
and with over five billion social media users around the world,
this is definitely an important tool to utilize to get
your voice and cause out there. Now with the online
world only continuing to grow in the rise of various
pieces of cutting each technology, how has the use of
(35:45):
artificial intelligence and similar tools help you move the needle
in your cause?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Okay, it's going to be fantastic because allow me to
give a couple of statistics. In nineteen thirty nine, the
computer power was such that you could make one calculation
every forty hours. Today with Nvidia, you can give half
a trillion calculations every second every second. That means that
(36:11):
we're able to with chat, GPT and with artificial intelligence,
we're able to give people almost in real time, in
any language, advice on mental health. And we can't make
the mental health problems go away. But we already know
that we can be like a merchancy first aid. We
(36:33):
can help people deal with what they're up against.
Speaker 15 (36:36):
H that's fantastic. I sense that we're going to have
a chat about that in a longer form. Let see,
Because I always like to highlight the upside of AI,
I want to talk a little bit about the art
of influence. One of the articles I read that you
talked about the difference between how ideas are introduced into
the world, and since you're such an idea person, can
(36:59):
you just talk about the art of spreading ideas in
a way that they're adopted instead of opposed.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Okay, we have in any organization that I've ever been
part of, starting with American Agro Women, which is right
now it's forty thousand women. Wow, we have an approach
which is an idea imposed, is an idea opposed. So
in anything where I've tried to persuade somebody of something,
I don't want to say, hey, you have to do it.
(37:28):
I would much rather almost with salesmanship, paint a picture
why it's a good idea, and you know, if you
like it, please join me. Oh, it's that that approach
I think has taken me a long way. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
It's very it is very gumble. Now looking to the future,
how do you foresee the Mental Health DOT Global program
being implemented in other countries including our own?
Speaker 8 (37:52):
All Right, I'm just so excited about this. But at
the United Nations there's a group of twenty ambassadors who
like this idea and they tell me that they're going
to have a UN resolution about it in October. It's
so good for the United Nations, and I even know
the President of the General Assembly. And the reason that
(38:15):
it's you know, it's got the United Nations written all
over it as far as I'm concerned, is because with
the latest technologies of language translation, the advice that we give,
or not that I give, but that the CHAT GPT
equivalent will give, it can be in any language, and
it's so scalable. It doesn't cost a very great deal.
(38:37):
And with the United Nations, I mean, the United Nations
can always use some really good publicity, and this is
something that nobody's against. I mean, nobody's against mental health.
And it's good for both the Global South, for European
just for everywhere. It's good and it doesn't make any enemies,
(38:59):
and I'm actually going way out of my way to
have it not be focused on Ukraine. Ukraine's the pilot,
but for then on Global.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Wow.
Speaker 15 (39:10):
I love that, and I want to know how can
anybody who wants to make a difference to the two
programs like yours?
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Where do they start? How do they get connected with you? Mitzy?
Speaker 8 (39:20):
I would like more than anything in the world to
connect with people because this is something that we can
all do together and we can make it bigger and
better and faster. Contact me. The best way to contact
me is mitzipurdue dot com and there's a contact area
and when you go to mitzipurdue dot com you'll also
get links to the program that we've been describing. And
(39:43):
it's called mental Health dot Global and I want to
pronounce it really carefully because you want to think mental health,
but no, this is mental help dot Global. So please Yeah,
if you write to me, I will write back to you,
and I will welcome you as somebody who who wants
to be part of something that you're going to feel
(40:04):
really good about when you join.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. This is Denzun's your
favorite iHeartRadio host for seven ten WR the voice of
New York ire Art Radio Today and all the way
in Nashville, Tennessee covering Scale Music City twenty twenty four.
And I'm chatting with doctor Joe Naam two from Richmond,
(42:41):
Virginia and he's a Board certified facial cosmetic plastic surgeon.
I'm gonna be chatting about what the latest trends are
this Scale twenty twenty four that he has noticed and
we're about to pick his brain. Here we go. Are
you ready?
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Ednali Beautiful, you got a cool name. So oh so
happy to be at this meeting again this problem like
fifth or sixth time. And the amazing thing about this
meeting is the multi specialty aspect. There are doctors here
from just about any specialty that you can imagine that
does something cosmatic and.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
With the fun part of this entire conference is the
nineteenth year doctor Golds and doctor Wiseman, the original founders,
and it's a brilliant meeting of the minds. I have
to say, it's nothing like I've ever seen. I'm getting
not only to talk to you the coolest people, but
feeding directly into what we do right here at WR,
which is expert on the microphone series. So I have
(43:36):
some questions for you. Your specialty is everything cosmetic facial
beautifying women and men. Perhaps what my question to you is.
In Q three of twenty twenty three, there was a
top three Google search and it was carboxy therapy. Now
it's not that it's something that just came about. I
(43:58):
mean it's been around the nineteen thirties, but to my understanding,
the method of delivery has changed since then and now
it's applied continuously forty five minutes over this gel like format.
But I would like to know what truly is behind
this science, how you use it, what your patients are
saying about it, and if you've tried it yourself.
Speaker 9 (44:17):
Okay, so yes, I've tried it myself. Kelen Alama treated
me at I think it was the Cosmetic Surgery Forum
last year and the year before, and so I bought
some at a center of my office and we use
it on my facelift patients, on my patients for bruising.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
But my staff also used.
Speaker 9 (44:39):
It for our laser patients, and plus they stole, they stole,
then it pasted on each other and then we had
I think some of the vaginal kids and yes and
so yeah, school stopping so great.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Use cases pre and post.
Speaker 9 (44:51):
Yes, and I use it mostly posts, okay, but obviously
you could use it pre or post and think about
that product. I just do cosmetic facial surgey, but it
can be used all over the body. It has the
you know the CO two in the car boxy. I
can't speak to all the science, but it works. I
have a ton of frenzy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yes, sure, well that's great. It's great to know that
this is something that you could do at home where
you could do you know, your prediction practitioner's office, pre
and posts treatments and I'm going to shift a little
bit so scale twenty twenty four. We've seen a lot
of keynotes come into this conference with a lot of
research backing up regenitive medicine. I've heard exosomes as buzzwords.
(45:33):
I've heerd you know, COEO two technologies going to the
next label, lavel it and appoloative laser. Tell me what
you're what you're hearing between all these doctors here to me,
when is the top trend?
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Yeah, so regelative medicine is huge, okay, and this meeting
really kind of started off and it's still largely a
dermatology meeting. You now that specially is a front runner
in minimally invasive treatments. And so I'm a surgeon, okay,
you know, I'm I'm making incisions and my hands aren't bloody.
(46:06):
I'm not doing anything, but so Maydia, my friends and
so many of the people here do non surgical or
minimally invasive things, and that is taken off exponentially. And
you know, for what I do, somebody may have a
faceliff once in their life. They may do it twice.
The orderly invasive stuff, I mean, it's you know, these
(46:29):
people do it, might do it weekly. And the science
on this is improved. I mean, you know, ten years
ago some of the minor reinvasive stuff, who's kind of questionable,
but it's it's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
It's here to stay, and if you're here, you'll learn
about it.
Speaker 10 (46:44):

Hi, I'm Sarikatz with this week's Express Beauty sentiment for
a Moment of Zen by your works Truly Skiinden by Sari.
Have you heard that new trend going around on social
media about botox bacelink. Can you believe it? Can we
actually get a facelift effect just by using botox to
our lower face? Well, historically we've used botox on the
(49:05):
neck area for a muscle we called the platissima muscle
that draps down like a sheet over our lower face
and onto our neck into our conbone. And when we
see that area relax or when we botox that area,
we can actually get a contouring effect of that muscle.
(49:25):
In other words, we call it a nevertidy lift or
a more defined jawline. Well, now the trend is take
it one step further and put botox on your lower face.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
What does that do?
Speaker 16 (49:37):
It relaxes that same muscle or set of muscles at
the lower face that pull down and contribute to the jowl.
When we relax that muscle, the cheap muscles are the
zygomaticus muscles.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
The spy muscles.
Speaker 16 (49:51):
Win the tug of war, and we see an actual
lift or repositioning of the tissues and volume in our face.
So how much of a lift can you expect from
just putting some botox along your jawline? We see an
upwards of sometimes twenty to thirty percent effect. That's pretty
good considering your no surgery here, So would you try it?
(50:15):
Would you try the boatox spacelint I suggested, But tune

(04:35):
up to since the strip, of course, because now we're
all back at what Ron, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I've fad Thank you, thanks for having so. Tell me
about your initial thoughts when you first read the script
Killing Castro.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Well, the story it's based on this period in nineteen
sixty when Malcolm X and Fidel Castro were at the
same hotel up in Harlem. So my first thought was like, wait,
did that didn't really happen? Right? And they're like, no, no,
that part's true or how much the rest of it is.
But it just makes it kind of for a great setting,
both in time and place. I think it's a it's
(05:11):
kind of a microcosm a little bit for America in
nineteen sixty headed into the sixties, but the pieces are
already in motion and yeah, so it feels like it's
a great origin story for like what was going to
go down in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It definitely tells an important piece of history. And when
you look at the dynamic between the US government and
Cuba at the time, you could definitely find a lot
of parallels with whatever's happening currently in the world. And
this is quite the interesting story that really has been untold,
and no one really knew what happened in that, you know,
in that time period when fetal castill net not the
(05:51):
next for the very first time. But I can't wait
to see I definitely can't wait to see your performance
in this. Now, let's talk about you in your career.
You're performance, so this is very different than your typical
the typical roles that you've taken on in the last decade.
You came off of a couple of projects that were
very interesting Feather Weather, Weah and to Strike Right there
(06:16):
was that one too, And you are.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Trained very classically. You're Harvard, no Yale. Here's there's other
people here on Harvard, but Yale. And you did go
to school with Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton, is that correct?
So tell me about that experience. All three of you
extremely successful actors.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
You know, it was it was great.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
It was this theater scene I think at when I
was there in school was very much it was due
it yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It wasn't a conservatory program where it was all kind
of laid out, so it I thought it was actually
really good prep for the way it works in Los Angeles,
where it's kind of like, hey, I'm doing this thing,
and you available to do this thing that I'm doing,
and it's like yeah, okay. You know, everyone was kind
of working together on it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's very interesting the transition that you all went through
as career paths. But bringing you full circle, full circle
to this film set. So you're from LA and you're
from West Coast, and we're in a very frigid cold
in New York City, New Jersey area, in the chay
Seat area.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Well, for I grew up. I grew up in eastern Iowa,
So I grew up I grew up in the cold.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But I've gotten soft.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I've been in LA for about thirty years, so I
love it. I love getting back. I love getting back.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
To the weather.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
There's something that's kind of magical about New York. Yeah,
it's always It's kind of always nice to float through,
especially this.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Time of year.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
After this project, can we expect to see you in
any other upcoming films?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I certainly hope.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So are you working on today?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, not yet.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
We're just getting geared up now being back from the strike.
So I'm looking forward to see what next year.

New york iHeartRadio. I'm your host, Zen. Sam's coming up
in the Hydration with Hearts segment brought to you by
One Spawn a Coconut. Today, we're featuring Super Mama news
anchor and reporter and of course, influencer Kayla Sullivan. Get ready,
(10:41):
to grab your juice boxes and settle in, my friends,
because today we have the queen of breaking news straight
from the frontlines of parenthood. Kayla's going to be joining us.
She has nearly two million social media followers, and she's
perfected the art of reporting on the daily chaos that
every parent knows all too well. From sippy cup mysteries,
bedtime negotiations that would make the un jealous. She's turned
(11:03):
the wild world of motherhood into the funniest news you've
ever seen. Today, we're diving into how she balanced this career,
kids and the occasional meltdown hers or the kids. We'll
let her clarify. Kyla, Welcome to the show, superstar. Thank
you so much. I'm happy to be here all right Now,
before we dive in and go any further, listeners, I'm
(11:24):
gonna play you a little SoundBite of her online content.
Have a listen.
Speaker 14 (11:28):
Kayla's all have been reporting Lyne from outside my son's bedroom,
where he's currently being detained until naptime is over. Now,
this story does involve a minor so I can't release specifics,
but what I can confirm is my son is a
two year old terrorist who held me hostage at the
Olive Garden earlier today. It's important to note the friends
I met there do not have children and likely never
(11:51):
will after witnessing this situation firsthand. This is an active investigation,
but authorities believe the proper precautions were taken. I brought
my son's favorite snacks and even risked judgment from other
moms by bringing an iPad, But not even Cocomelan could
have stopped this meltdown. After several cries demanding quote chetchup, yeh,
(12:12):
a good Samaritan waitress miraculously understood it as the English
word ketchup and brought him a bottle. Unfortunately, her good
deed was later punished after he threw a ketchup covered
fork at her. Not all heroes wear capes, but this
one should have worn an apron. You know, these toddler
outbursts are becoming increasingly common as more and more parents
(12:34):
try out the new craze gentle parenting and completely suck
at it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I'll keep trying back to you, all right, let's dive
right in hilarious and super talented. Oh my goodness, you
have all the checkbox checked, Kayla. You have made quite
the leap from TV news anchor to social media star
with nearly two million followers. That's how I found you.
What was the moment that made you dic? I, Hey,
(13:00):
you know what TikTok is where I belong. I mean,
is it more fun reporting on the daily chaos of
parenthood than the evening news? Tell me? Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 14 (13:08):
I mean there's a saying no one loves to be
the bearer of bad news. So I went from doom
and gloom to making people laugh and that has meant
the world to me. I'm still using the same skills
that I had as a news reporter, but instead of
going to different sources in the community and talking about
really serious topics, I'm talking about everyday life and the
(13:31):
sources me. A lot of my content comes from me
living life and the things that my kids are going
through or that I'm going through, mainly as a parent,
in the daily struggles. But I've wanted to be a
news reporter my entire life. I mean, in the fourth grade,
I was doing the school announcements and reporting on what
we were having for lunch that day in my news voice,
(13:53):
and so I've always had that little news voice, and
I loved being on cameras. So it was really a
dream come true to become a TV news reporter.
Speaker 15 (14:01):
And I loved it.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
I loved the feeling of going live and it was
awesome during that time in my life. But once I
became a mom, it got all too real. The stories
were the stories were tough. So I love doing the best.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Of both worlds now. I love the story. You're a comedian,
your mom, You're a career girl. I mean, you're doing
it all now before we died. Just a little bit deeper, deeper,
I want to rewind a bit to something you just
said when you were in the fourth grade, what inspired
you to become a news anchor? I mean, it's been
a childhood dream, like you said, but did you stumble
(14:38):
into it? I mean, how did this all unfold?
Speaker 14 (14:41):
I was the end ball that knew what she wanted
to do from a really young age, and then my
whole life surrounded it. And it's funny because there are
photos and videos of me in blazers, like interviewing people
and doing the news in my basement, and so this
was some thing that I always dreamt of doing, and
(15:02):
I made it happen. You know, even in college, I
brought a TV camera to a party to get b roll,
which is video for a story of college students drinking,
because I needed it because there was a lifeline law
that gave immunity to college students. And well, my friends
were like, you're so weird, like calm down, just enjoy life.
(15:24):
But I loved it, and so it's money that I
never really stopped doing it, even in a way that's entertainment,
and so I think that this is so much more
enjoyable what I'm doing now. I will always respect the news,
but things change when you become a mom, and I'm
(15:45):
so fortunate that I was able to still do what
I love. But I found something that works for me
and my schedule and that work life balance.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That's great. Now you've really nailed that perfect blend of
humor and reality into your skits. Let me tell you,
parents everywhere are nodding along and thinking, yep, that's my life.
How do you keep your content so relatable and fresh?
I mean, do the kids ever give you material quote
unquote to work with that you weren't even expecting.
Speaker 14 (16:13):
Everything I report on or make a skit on is
inspired by a true story.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
You know that.
Speaker 14 (16:19):
Disclaimer at the beginning of those movies like this was inspired.
I should have that disclaimer on everything because it's all real,
and I think that's why it resonates so well with
people on social media, because I think a lot of
kids do what I mean, My kids aren't any different
than any normal kid. And I also I also really
(16:40):
look for things that I think other people are going
through because I think that that's the service that I'm providing,
is relatability and if it's funny, if I can kind
of find something that I feel like every parent experiences,
that's the stuff that I look for.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now you've recently gotten married and become a step mom. Congratulations,
thank you. That must have added a new layer to
your content or even to your personal life. I'm sure
there's those shortage of blended family moments that could go viral,
so I'm sure you're getting content on that and too.
Now let's talk about balancing career and motherhood. So, you
(17:16):
know Kayla Jessica Turner from The Mom Creative. I always
follow her. I don't know if you know who Jessica
Turner is. She's from The Mom Creative. She talked about
the importance of carving out time for both your career
and your family without feeling guilty about either. And it's
about finding that harmony, not balance, she said. And it's
interesting because you're connecting with millions of parents online, especially
(17:38):
working moms. I'm one of them. What do you think
it is about your content that resonates so deeply with us?
Is it the shared struggles, the lapse, or maybe a
little of both. And before you answer that, how important
has authenticity been in building your career both on and
off social media.
Speaker 14 (17:57):
It's funny because as a TV news reporter, what was
most important to me was the truth and honesty. So
authenticity is everything on social media as well. Because I'm
reporting the truth of parenting. I'm reporting the the ugly truth,
if you will, but in a lighthearted way. And I
think that that's why people like it, because I'm not
(18:19):
sugarcoating things. I'm telling you how it is, and I'm
not complaining and I'm not condoning bad behavior as a parent.
I'm very self deprecating, but the message is always I'm
still trying. I'm still trying to be better this. I
might have failed, I might have forgotten my son's lunchbox today,
but we're gonna keep trying and tomorrow is gonna be
(18:41):
a better day, and that balance of you know, work
and life and making sure that you are okay with
asking for help. I really hope that people know that
it is a village that raises children, and I think
a lot of the time, you know, when I started
doing this, I was a single mom and I found
(19:01):
community in my following, and it was an outlet for
me to feel less alone in parenting because I didn't
have a partner in parenting. And so I think that
it's so nice that social media has provided that ability
for people to be watching and saying, oh my gosh,
me too.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Oh I feel that.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
Exact same way. So I think that's why my content
has been successful, because I've been so honest and I
haven't tried to gloss over the difficulty. But at the
same time, the message isn't this is difficult. I want
to give up the messages this is difficult.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I still love it.
Speaker 14 (19:32):
Here are some ways that you know I can cope,
And I love the comment section.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
There's always good tips. You know.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
I'll talk about a.
Speaker 14 (19:39):
Struggling issue, like, for instance, my son not wanting to
wear pants. He's obsessed with wearing shorts, but it's cold outside,
so mom's will comment. You know what I do is I'll,
you know, lay out three different pairs of pants and
then he gets to choose so he feels more in
control or whatever. And then I try those things and
it actually helps me be a better mom. But if
I wouldn't have shared that that struggle, then I would
(20:01):
have never gotten that advice. So I think it's a
really good way for other parents, even in the comments section,
to learn how to be a better parent and how
to get out of some of these sticky situations that
I report on.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, your content definitely has that genuine, down to earth
vibe that so many people connect with. It reminds me
again I go through all these mom blocks. It reminds
me of what Jill Smokelers from Scary Mommy always says,
authenticity is key, and people appreciate real life struggles and
victories more than any polished version of reality. Right, So
(20:33):
I think you've nailed it now. We talked about balancing
career and parenting, and now being a stepmom sounds like
a full plate. What's your best advice for working moms
trying to keep all those plates spinning without losing their minds.
Speaker 14 (20:47):
I touched on this a little bit earlier, but being
okay accepting and seeking help. I know that help may
not always be readily available, but at least trying to
seek it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We can't do this on our own.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
I feel like keeping human or in your life is
always really helpful for me, you know, just kind of
laughing at myself and being like, okay, like you got this.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It happens. Every mom goes through this.
Speaker 14 (21:08):
Try not to compare yourself to other moms. There's no
such thing as a perfect mom. And really, I know
this comes from a place.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Of privilege and I'm very grateful for it.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
But trying to find a job that works for you
and your family. I know that not everyone might be
able to do that, but just seeking that out, trying
to talk to different people about, hey, are there any
jobs that offer maybe working from home, or are there
any jobs that I can get off at three so
I can be there to pick up my son or
whatever whatever works for you. If you don't have that,
(21:40):
help finding an employer that does actually support working moms.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
They exist, They're rare.
Speaker 14 (21:48):
I hope that the industry changes more so that they're
more supportive of working moms, but finding people who will
trust that you get the job done, but let you
leave for that doctor's appointment for your kid. And I
think that that's really important. So just seeking those jobs,
finding something that works for you and your family, and
asking for help, I think is really important. But the
(22:08):
humor aspect is what works best for me. Without humor,
I think I'd lose my mind for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
A great laugh is always a great remedy. Now here's
a fun one. If you could do a special news
report on any overlooked aspect of parenting, what would it be?
I mean, something that doesn't get enough fair time but
totally deserves it.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
I do think blended families would provide some really good content.
I wish there was more blended family content out there,
But I don't usually let parenthood topics go overlooked. If
it's going on in my life, I report on it,
and I can tell you what I'm working on right now.
Something that I realize I'll be probably posting a report
on soon is the fact that, for some reason, ever
(22:50):
since I became a mom, I've started talking in third person,
like I'll be like, mommy needs to go potty, before
the heart, Mommy needs a break, Mommy.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Needs a copy. And I don't know why I do that.
I don't do it in any other aspect of life.
Speaker 14 (23:03):
And so sometimes I realize these things about myself and
I'm like, that is funny, so I can turn it
into a report. You know, authorities are working into why
I'm doing this and why other parents are doing this.
Even I even say, like, mommy and Daddy need to
talk about that. Why can't I just guy, We're going
to talk.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
It's a weird. I don't know why I do it,
but I do it too. I know why do we
do it? I do it too, And I'm a blunted family.
Have an eight and a half year old, a twenty
two year old who just graduated University of Georgia was
now in the talent program at CAA to be a
talent agent. And my step son is at University of Syracuse.
He's nineteen. So I got lots of stories to tell you,
but that's a different podcast. Now, looking ahead, where do
(23:40):
you see your content going in the next few years?
I mean, are there any new projects or directions you're
excited to explore, Maybe something outside of TikTok and Instagram.
I mean, do you see yourself diving even deeper into
the world of social media or pulling back into the
world of news anchoring.
Speaker 14 (23:56):
I see myself expanding on social media. I'd really like
to get into YouTube. By haven't really done anything on
YouTube or like longer form content. I think that would
be really fun to make entire newscasts because I have
so many lead of these short newscasts, so making a
longer form newscast on YouTube is really a good idea,
and I think that I'm going to pursue that. I
also think that I would love to start a podcast.
(24:19):
There's just a lot of different things that I can do,
trying to further that humor in parenting, and just trying
to build that community with other moms and dads because
dads are part of this too.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
I do really want to support working moms, but I
think parents in general just enjoy to.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Look back on these moments in life.
Speaker 14 (24:39):
I love my content because it kind of serves as
a baby book for my son because when I look back,
I started doing this when he was two.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
He's five now, so I can look back and be.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Like, oh, I forgot all about the time that he
used to take off his shoes and thrill him in
the call all the time. But I reported on it,
so I when he did that, and other parents, I think,
will watch my news reports and I remember when.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
My two year old used to do that.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
I kind of miss it. I hate it then, but
I miss it now. So I think it's really a
fun way to document his childhood. So I want to
continue doing that with the thought in mind that this
could eventually get embarrassing for him. So maybe I'll stop
focusing it so much on my son in particular if
it does get embarrassing. But maybe I'm talking to other
parents about their experiences, or I'm just kind of talking
(25:24):
about parenting in general and not calling out one child
or another.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I think it's relatable.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
I think it's important regardless, and there's a lot of
room to continue doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Wow, well, you definitely have your work cut out for you.
You are headed for much, much bigger things than just
TikTok and YouTube, without a doubt, and I've enjoyed talking

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten pm on seven ten wor the Voice of
New York.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven ten WR the
voice of New york iHeartRadio. I'm your host Zenzam's up
next in the Discover Your Potential segment brought to you
by Keep the Pass. Today, we're joined by our regular
contributor and co host Anna de Vere and she is
joined by journalist and advocate Mitzi Perdue. Mitzi is a
(28:09):
tremendous force with a long list of accomplishments, some of
which include being a former rice grower, the past president
of the thirty five thousand member American agri Women, and
a former syndicated columnist for both Scrips Howard and her
column The Environment in You, which was the most widely
syndicated environmental column in the country in the nineteen nineties.
(28:31):
As a war correspondent in Ukraine, she's visited three times
since the full scale invasion and has had more than
over one hundred articles published in outlets such as The
Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Newsweek, with many of
the interviews for her articles being conducted in actual bomb
shelters in cities under active attack. They're going to join
(28:53):
me today to chat all about Mitzi's efforts in improving
the mental health crisis spreading awareness and the importance of
giving back. Welcoming now to the show are my friends
at A Devir and Mitzi Perdue. Welcome superstars.
Speaker 15 (29:06):
Yay, thank you, Zen.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Mitzi, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
What a joy to be with you. I love your
show and I love the premise of the show.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
All right, let's dive right in. So let's start off
with what you're currently working on and why. I understand
that the program you created, mental health dot Global, was
started in an effort to address the problem outline by
the World Health Organization, namely that more than one billion
people are living with a debilitating mental illness. In fact,
the prevalence of all mental disorders worldwide increase by fifty
(29:37):
percent between the nineteen nineties and two thousand and thirteen.
So it's clear of focus on improving mental health is
exceedingly important, as it's an issue that is certainly not
going away. Please tell us more about your program and
what it is doing to help.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Okay, I got into it because while in Ukraine, I
kept interviewing people, particularly war crimes victims, who we're suffering
from like panic attacks or depression or disassociation, and I'd
ask others, Are they going to get help? And the
answer was no, not a chance. There's many's fifteen million
people in Ukraine right now who have mental health issues.
(30:15):
How do you address that? Oh, since there aren't enough
mental health professionals in the world to take care of them.
And so my background actually is computer science and I
wrote my master's thesis on computers and I began wondering,
might it be possible to use an equivalent of chat
(30:37):
GPT to provide emergency first aid? And that's what I'm
up to.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Wow, well, this, I mean, this sounds like an incredible
program because with such a large population to your point,
struggling with their mental health. According to the World Health Organization,
even before COVID nineteen pandemic, which was brought what of
course brought about its own slew of issue, is just
a fraction of those in need of mental health care
(31:03):
had access to quality, affordable and actually effective treatment. So
you're onto something now. I know Anna has some questions,
so I'll let her hand that, I'll let her take
it away.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Yeah, and I think MITSI, you've already kind of raised this,
but you've traveled to Ukraine three times in the past
few years, a great risk to yourself, I have to add,
but why did you decide to do a pilot of
your program there?
Speaker 11 (31:26):
In particular?
Speaker 8 (31:28):
I did it because I have contacts in Ukraine right now.
Who are the ones who I have particular contacts with
the police, because it's the police who investigate war crimes
and they're the ones who introduced me to people who
want to talk about what the Russians did to them.
But I would say, pretty much every case of anybody
(31:49):
I've interviewed, they have issues like insomnia, panic attacks, depression,
just endless And so it seemed to me, if I'm
going to work on this, maybe work where I already
have a network of people who want to help, including
academics at the University of Ukraine. And right now we've
(32:13):
very likely raised money to hire somebody full time at
the University of Ukraine two or Ukraine University to help
operationalize this. So that's why we're starting there.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But the goal is for it to be global, excellent, phenomenal.
Now I know you. After your second trip there, you
decided to auction off your historic Emerald Engagement ring to
benefit Ukraine, which part of the one point two million
proceeds going to a women's shelter, and another part going
(32:45):
to landmine clearance efforts. Missy, it's abundantly clear that you
dedicated to your life and efforts to giving back major
altruistic acts. So one drives your passion.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Oh that's so easy to answer. I got influenced by
Mother Teresa and a quick quick story. But Napoleon Bonaparte
and Mother Teresa both had biographies, and I read biographies
of both the same week. Napoleon had all the money, glory, power, status,
sex that the world has to offer. Mother Teresa, with
(33:16):
her vow of poverty and chastity, had none of that,
and yet at the end of their lives, Napoleon said,
I can't count five happy days in my life, even
with all those goodies that the world offers. Mother Teresa,
on the other hand, who her only property was three
sorries and the shoes on her feet, the sandals on
(33:37):
her feet, she describes her life as a feast of
unending joy. So which is better to have a feast
of an ending joy to not have five happy days
in your own life? So it seems to me that
philanthropy is selfishly kind of a road to happiness and
you mentioned, bring feels so happy that I did that.
It gave me more joy to give it a way,
(34:00):
and it did to own it.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
You are gorgeous. I would say the same thing. But
you know, MITSI, as.
Speaker 15 (34:06):
A war correspondent, you've dealt firsthand with some pretty extreme
conditions and circumstances. I just wonder how you maintain yountal
your own mental health enough, how you could advise other
people who may feel really overwhelmed by what's happening in
the world today.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
All right, I have a premise that I followed. I
recommend to everybody your responsibility is and I'm being metaphorical
when I say this, but your responsibility is to live
to fight another day. And what does that translate into
real life? It means you can't just immerse yourself twenty
four to seven in the pain horrors that have going
(34:44):
on in the world. Do you go nuts? So I
make it an absolute requirement to have at least an
hour a day of something that's uplifting. And so what
I do is so small and trivial, but I'll share
it with you. So there are all these wonderful of
like people rescued animals, or there's beautiful parts of life.
(35:08):
So anybody who's in danger of burnout, you must it's
medically necessity to give yourself a respite. You have to
live to fight another day. You just can't give into
a full diet of the unbearable.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's great advice. Now you're leading quite the charge and
using social media as a vehicle for advocacy and change,
and with over five billion social media users around the world,
this is definitely an important tool to utilize to get
your voice and cause out there. Now with the online
world only continuing to grow in the rise of various
pieces of cutting each technology, how has the use of
(35:45):
artificial intelligence and similar tools help you move the needle
in your cause?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Okay, it's going to be fantastic because allow me to
give a couple of statistics. In nineteen thirty nine, the
computer power was such that you could make one calculation
every forty hours. Today with Nvidia, you can give half
a trillion calculations every second every second. That means that
(36:11):
we're able to with chat, GPT and with artificial intelligence,
we're able to give people almost in real time, in
any language, advice on mental health. And we can't make
the mental health problems go away. But we already know
that we can be like a merchancy first aid. We
(36:33):
can help people deal with what they're up against.
Speaker 15 (36:36):
H that's fantastic. I sense that we're going to have
a chat about that in a longer form. Let see,
Because I always like to highlight the upside of AI,
I want to talk a little bit about the art
of influence. One of the articles I read that you
talked about the difference between how ideas are introduced into
the world, and since you're such an idea person, can
(36:59):
you just talk about the art of spreading ideas in
a way that they're adopted instead of opposed.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Okay, we have in any organization that I've ever been
part of, starting with American Agro Women, which is right
now it's forty thousand women. Wow, we have an approach
which is an idea imposed, is an idea opposed. So
in anything where I've tried to persuade somebody of something,
I don't want to say, hey, you have to do it.
(37:28):
I would much rather almost with salesmanship, paint a picture
why it's a good idea, and you know, if you
like it, please join me. Oh, it's that that approach
I think has taken me a long way. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
It's very it is very gumble. Now looking to the future,
how do you foresee the Mental Health DOT Global program
being implemented in other countries including our own?
Speaker 8 (37:52):
All Right, I'm just so excited about this. But at
the United Nations there's a group of twenty ambassadors who
like this idea and they tell me that they're going
to have a UN resolution about it in October. It's
so good for the United Nations, and I even know
the President of the General Assembly. And the reason that
(38:15):
it's you know, it's got the United Nations written all
over it as far as I'm concerned, is because with
the latest technologies of language translation, the advice that we give,
or not that I give, but that the CHAT GPT
equivalent will give, it can be in any language, and
it's so scalable. It doesn't cost a very great deal.
(38:37):
And with the United Nations, I mean, the United Nations
can always use some really good publicity, and this is
something that nobody's against. I mean, nobody's against mental health.
And it's good for both the Global South, for European
just for everywhere. It's good and it doesn't make any enemies,
(38:59):
and I'm actually going way out of my way to
have it not be focused on Ukraine. Ukraine's the pilot,
but for then on Global.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Wow.
Speaker 15 (39:10):
I love that, and I want to know how can
anybody who wants to make a difference to the two
programs like yours?
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Where do they start? How do they get connected with you? Mitzy?
Speaker 8 (39:20):
I would like more than anything in the world to
connect with people because this is something that we can
all do together and we can make it bigger and
better and faster. Contact me. The best way to contact
me is mitzipurdue dot com and there's a contact area
and when you go to mitzipurdue dot com you'll also
get links to the program that we've been describing. And
(39:43):
it's called mental Health dot Global and I want to
pronounce it really carefully because you want to think mental health,
but no, this is mental help dot Global. So please Yeah,
if you write to me, I will write back to you,
and I will welcome you as somebody who who wants
to be part of something that you're going to feel
(40:04):
really good about when you join.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. This is Denzun's your
favorite iHeartRadio host for seven ten WR the voice of
New York ire Art Radio Today and all the way
in Nashville, Tennessee covering Scale Music City twenty twenty four.
And I'm chatting with doctor Joe Naam two from Richmond,
(42:41):
Virginia and he's a Board certified facial cosmetic plastic surgeon.
I'm gonna be chatting about what the latest trends are
this Scale twenty twenty four that he has noticed and
we're about to pick his brain. Here we go. Are
you ready?
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Ednali Beautiful, you got a cool name. So oh so
happy to be at this meeting again this problem like
fifth or sixth time. And the amazing thing about this
meeting is the multi specialty aspect. There are doctors here
from just about any specialty that you can imagine that
does something cosmatic and.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
With the fun part of this entire conference is the
nineteenth year doctor Golds and doctor Wiseman, the original founders,
and it's a brilliant meeting of the minds. I have
to say, it's nothing like I've ever seen. I'm getting
not only to talk to you the coolest people, but
feeding directly into what we do right here at WR,
which is expert on the microphone series. So I have
(43:36):
some questions for you. Your specialty is everything cosmetic facial
beautifying women and men. Perhaps what my question to you is.
In Q three of twenty twenty three, there was a
top three Google search and it was carboxy therapy. Now
it's not that it's something that just came about. I
(43:58):
mean it's been around the nineteen thirties, but to my understanding,
the method of delivery has changed since then and now
it's applied continuously forty five minutes over this gel like format.
But I would like to know what truly is behind
this science, how you use it, what your patients are
saying about it, and if you've tried it yourself.
Speaker 9 (44:17):
Okay, so yes, I've tried it myself. Kelen Alama treated
me at I think it was the Cosmetic Surgery Forum
last year and the year before, and so I bought
some at a center of my office and we use
it on my facelift patients, on my patients for bruising.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
But my staff also used.
Speaker 9 (44:39):
It for our laser patients, and plus they stole, they stole,
then it pasted on each other and then we had
I think some of the vaginal kids and yes and
so yeah, school stopping so great.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Use cases pre and post.
Speaker 9 (44:51):
Yes, and I use it mostly posts, okay, but obviously
you could use it pre or post and think about
that product. I just do cosmetic facial surgey, but it
can be used all over the body. It has the
you know the CO two in the car boxy. I
can't speak to all the science, but it works. I
have a ton of frenzy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yes, sure, well that's great. It's great to know that
this is something that you could do at home where
you could do you know, your prediction practitioner's office, pre
and posts treatments and I'm going to shift a little
bit so scale twenty twenty four. We've seen a lot
of keynotes come into this conference with a lot of
research backing up regenitive medicine. I've heard exosomes as buzzwords.
(45:33):
I've heerd you know, COEO two technologies going to the
next label, lavel it and appoloative laser. Tell me what
you're what you're hearing between all these doctors here to me,
when is the top trend?
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Yeah, so regelative medicine is huge, okay, and this meeting
really kind of started off and it's still largely a
dermatology meeting. You now that specially is a front runner
in minimally invasive treatments. And so I'm a surgeon, okay,
you know, I'm I'm making incisions and my hands aren't bloody.
(46:06):
I'm not doing anything, but so Maydia, my friends and
so many of the people here do non surgical or
minimally invasive things, and that is taken off exponentially. And
you know, for what I do, somebody may have a
faceliff once in their life. They may do it twice.
The orderly invasive stuff, I mean, it's you know, these
(46:29):
people do it, might do it weekly. And the science
on this is improved. I mean, you know, ten years
ago some of the minor reinvasive stuff, who's kind of questionable,
but it's it's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
It's here to stay, and if you're here, you'll learn
about it.
Speaker 10 (46:44):

Hi, I'm Sarikatz with this week's Express Beauty sentiment for
a Moment of Zen by your works Truly Skiinden by Sari.
Have you heard that new trend going around on social
media about botox bacelink. Can you believe it? Can we
actually get a facelift effect just by using botox to
our lower face? Well, historically we've used botox on the
(49:05):
neck area for a muscle we called the platissima muscle
that draps down like a sheet over our lower face
and onto our neck into our conbone. And when we
see that area relax or when we botox that area,
we can actually get a contouring effect of that muscle.
(49:25):
In other words, we call it a nevertidy lift or
a more defined jawline. Well, now the trend is take
it one step further and put botox on your lower face.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
What does that do?
Speaker 16 (49:37):
It relaxes that same muscle or set of muscles at
the lower face that pull down and contribute to the jowl.
When we relax that muscle, the cheap muscles are the
zygomaticus muscles.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
The spy muscles.
Speaker 16 (49:51):
Win the tug of war, and we see an actual
lift or repositioning of the tissues and volume in our face.
So how much of a lift can you expect from
just putting some botox along your jawline? We see an
upwards of sometimes twenty to thirty percent effect. That's pretty
good considering your no surgery here, So would you try it?
(50:15):
Would you try the boatox spacelint I suggested, But tune
