KALEY CUOCO is on the show!!! Whaaattt???!!! Oh my gosh, I was so excited when she said she would come on the show.

I'm lucky enough to call Kaley a friend and I have to say she is one of the most loyal, kind-hearted and generous people I have ever met.

She really needs no introduction but Kaley, is an actor and producer. In the late 90's, she landed her breakthrough role as Bridget Hennessy on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules but she is best known for playing Penny for 12 seasons on the mega-hit TV show The Big Bang Theory, which is the longest running sitcom in U.S. history.

Since Big Bang ended last year she started her own production company -Yes Norman Productions (named after her beloved dog) and is currently working on various projects including a TV series for HBO Max called the flight attendant and is the voice of Harley Quinn on the animated series.

One of the things I'm most inspired by in Kaley is her love and passion for animals. She devotes a huge amount of her time and resources advocating for animal rights, promoting animal adoption and has a whole slew of animals herself. If you're an animal enthusiast you have to follow her on Instagram.

 

In today's show we explore

  • Life after The Big Bang theory
  • How she has stayed so grounded and "normal" in show business
  • One of her most pivotal moments in life that nearly ended her acting career
  • The value of loyalty
  • Her passion for rescuing animals and being an animal advocate
  • What she believes her true purpose is
  • And much much more
