My dad's passion was to teach adults to read so they could read to their kids.

My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets - Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet.

It's never too late to take your heart health seriously and make it a priority.

When I turned 30, due to my father's heart history and my family genetics, I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.

I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around.

My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.

I love kids and children, and I love being a mom.

I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher - all in high school.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot, so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more, trying to prolong their youth.
