Welcome back to The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we help women step into strength, vitality, and purpose at every stage of life.

Today we're diving into one of the most exciting frontiers in women's health — how fasting-mimicking diets can transform the way we age, think, and thrive.
My guest is Renee Fitton, MS, RD — a leading longevity dietitian and the Director of Education & Healthcare Sales at Prolon (by L‑Nutra) — the company behind the world's first fasting-mimicking diet backed by decades of research in nutritional science and cellular health.

Renee specializes in helping women unlock the benefits of fasting — without extreme restriction — using smart, science-based nutrition that supports metabolism, hormones, energy, and longevity.

If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and want to learn how to reset your biology, boost energy, and feel vibrant again, this episode is for you.

Tune in as we uncover: what a fasting-mimicking diet actually is, how it supports women in midlife, how it affects hormones, metabolism, skin, gut health, and how you can safely integrate this into your life.
Let's get ready to step into a new level of vitality — from the inside out.

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we believe strength, confidence, and beauty start from within.
Today, we're diving into clean skincare, self-care, and the courage to build something beautiful out of personal struggle.

Our guest is Sarah Vilenskiy, the powerhouse founder and CEO of Blossom Essentials — a clean skincare brand created for sensitive, condition-prone skin. Sarah turned her lifelong battle with severely dry skin into a thriving, mission-driven business that recently sold out on QVC!

She's been recognized with the 2015 Woman of the Year Award for leadership, and she's on a mission to help women calm their skin, reclaim confidence, and feel beautiful — naturally.

1. Sarah, take us back to the beginning — what was your personal journey that led you to create Blossom Essentials?

2. You've said your skin struggles shaped your brand mission. What were those early challenges like — and how did you turn pain into purpose?

3. Many women listening struggle with self-esteem because of skin issues. What helped you move from insecurity to empowerment?

1. You bootstrapped Blossom Essentials into a fast-growing eCommerce brand. What's been your biggest lesson in growing something from scratch?

2. Your first QVC airing sold out — that's huge! How did that moment feel after all your hard work?

3. You've been featured on Cause of a Kind for your bootstrap story. How do you balance authenticity, marketing, and mission as a founder in the clean beauty space?

1. Many of our listeners are active women who care about what they put in — and on — their bodies. What are your top tips for non-toxic skincare that empowers women?

2. How can clean skincare be part of a holistic self-care routine that includes fitness, nutrition, and mindset?

3. What are some simple swaps that can help women with eczema, acne, or sensitive skin calm irritation and feel confident again?

4. What's next for Blossom Essentials — and how can women support your mission of healing skin and boosting self-love?

Ladies, if your skin's been crying out for something gentle yet powerful, check out Blossom Essentials at tryblossom.com.
Remember: the best glow doesn't come from makeup or filters — it comes from self-respect, nourishment, and showing up for yourself every day.

Today, we're joined by veteran journalist and NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert, who has reported from the White House lawn to the battlefields of the Middle East. But now he's sharing a story no one has ever heard before—his own. In his powerful new book Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism, Leland opens up about his childhood struggles, the relentless dedication of his father, and how love, grit, and resilience shaped the man we see today on primetime TV. Leland, welcome—it's an honor to have you with us.

1. You've been on camera for years as a journalist, but this is the first time you've opened up about your personal story. What made now the right time to write Born Lucky?

2. The book really honors your father's role in shaping your life. Can you share a moment that captures his determination to never let you be defined by your diagnosis?

3. Growing up, you faced painful bullying and rejection. How did those experiences shape your resilience and your drive to succeed?

4. You describe your father quitting his job to essentially "coach" you through life. What were some of the unusual or even tough methods he used that ultimately paid off?

5. From not speaking as a child to anchoring a national news show—your journey is extraordinary. What do you think surprised people most when they learned your story?

6. Your book is both raw and hopeful. What do you want readers—especially parents and kids facing similar challenges—to take away from it?

7. James Patterson praised Born Lucky as "a beautiful, emotional, true story." What has that kind of support meant to you personally?

8. Now that the book is out, how do you hope this changes the broader conversation about autism, labels, and what's possible?
