This episode is especially close to my heart—meet my Grandma, lovingly nicknamed "Bocca" when we were just toddlers. At 90 years young, she's still sharper than a tack! You could say my love for TV hosting runs in the family. My grandparents hosted a Christian television show called Heartbeat for over 30 years, interviewing remarkable figures like Mother Teresa and how Joel Osteen's father, John, got his start. Their missionary work truly spanned the globe.

For this episode, I traveled to North Carolina, where their former television station has now been transformed into a beautiful home and family retreat... I have lots of videos to show you! And of course, no visit with Grandma is complete without stories—like the time I accidentally convinced her to buy me alcohol when I was 13. Oh, the memories!
