LGF Ep. 248: What Your Birthday Really Teaches You

We’re talking with Bethenny Frankel about her B Strong initiative where she is raising funds to put together “BStrong corona kits.” BStrong corona kits will have the essentials for families to prevent coronavirus, providing  masks and gloves, antibacterial and sanitization wipes. She plans to distribute them for prevention in poverty-stricken areas.  BStrong is also raising money for cash cards to be distributed to parents who cannot afford to keep their children out of school and to help provide lunches.

There are so many heroes around the world doing what they can to help right now. Dimitria Murphy is one of them. She is a long time friend of mine and native of Somerville, MA and has owned a restaurant in Somerville since 2012. Her restaurant is Daddy Jones Bar and they are doing something incredible during this time of crisis. They started a go-fund-me to help local families with food donations. I know we’re all taking social distancing very seriously, but a lot of us still want to help. Dimitria is providing us some inspiration and we’re also going over updates from the White House and around the world, and providing a list of ways to manage your quarantine anxiety.

**ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON 03/18/20** Meghan Trainor is a Grammy-winning pop singer known for  hits like "Lips Are Moving" and "All About That Bass." Today, she opens up like never before talking, VMA’s and why she’s never been, being a boss & learning how to fire people, how the award shows can be rigged and how her husband, Daryl Sabara supports her through it all. She spent her childhood surrounding herself with music, learning to play various instruments and writing her own songs. As her career began to blossom she began writing music for other artists like Fifth Harmony, Jennifer Lopez, Rascal Flats and Jason Derulo. There are so many special things about Meghan, but I have a deep respect for the way she has built such a massive platform and stayed healthy while spreading so much love and positivity even in such a demanding industry, and the relationship she has with her family is so amazing.
