Say Yes is going to be taking a break, but the show so far has been a journey!

Planning for the future shouldn’t come as an afterthought, but it’s often one of the hardest things to talk about. Financial expert Suze Orman has spent her career giving advice to help people take control of their money and save for an emergency. She talks with Carla about how she first got into finance as a waitress with no background knowledge, and quickly became a top performing broker. And Suze tells Carla about the health emergency she recently suffered, and how it made her slow down in life. This week’s ingredient: talk with a family member or friend about your short-term money goals!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s hard to let go of controlling so many things in our lives - when a beloved project ends, what our kids will grow up to be - but all the more rewarding when we accept the unexpected. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, best known for playing Mitchell on Modern Family, pivoted from acting to write a cookbook with his friend Julie Tanous, Food Between Friends. He talks with Carla about the end of Modern Family, his love for cooking, the state cookie of New Mexico, and being a new parent - an exercise in being ready for anything. This week’s ingredient: cook a favorite recipe with a family member or friend that has special significance to you, and share those memories with them!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sometimes following your own rhythm is the best example you can show others. Iliza Shlesinger, comedian and actor, is known for her Netflix standup specials including Unveiled and Elder Millennial. She and her husband also started a series of cooking videos called Don’t Panic Pantry, to show people how to cook some favorite home cooking staples during the pandemic. Iliza and Carla talk about being morning people in the very late night industries of comedy and restaurants, and Iliza shares how she’s never felt shy or hesitant about being herself. In fact, sharing personal experiences on stage has shown her how many women are dealing with the same challenges.

Being the newbie in the room can be embarrassing, but how else will you expand your horizons? Folake Olowofoyeku, star of Bob Hearts Abishola, talks with Carla about moving from Nigeria to the US, stepping into her first big TV role, and navigating her first press event. Plus they discuss the differences in racial identity and experience between Black Americans and Nigerian immigrants, and the deliciousness of West African food.

It’s scary to break away from the group and start a solo project, but the new adventure can bring creative success. For Darius Rucker, frontman of Hootie and the Blowfish and Grammy-winning country music singer, another bandmate’s departure signaled the beginning of his solo career. As a Black man, Darius’ path into the mostly white industry of country music was difficult but rewarding. He talks with Carla about the musicians who inspired him, his career in music, and his new single Beers and Sunshine.

Sometimes getting a creative project done means being willing to risk failure - that’s what award winning author Danielle Evans learned from writing her second book, The Office of Historical Corrections. Danielle talks to Carla about how she tricked herself into writing through a block, and how feedback provides important insight during the writing process. And they discuss the ways that storytelling can show different perspectives on American history, apologies, and second chances. This week’s ingredient: try telling a familiar story from another voice or perspective!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you’re used to working alone, it’s tempting to just keep going solo - but finding the right person to work with can make an enormous difference. For Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer, becoming partners and starting their home organizing business together was unexpected, but an instant success. Their show on Netflix, Getting Organized with the Home Edit, shows Clea and Joanna doing what they love best: organizing mess and chaos into labeled containers and restoring balance. They talk with Carla about how a random lunch date turned into a business meeting, and how their introvert/extrovert combination is the perfect match.

These days, we’re all having times when it’s hard to stay positive. But as Robin Roberts reminds us, being optimistic and hopeful is a skill that needs to be practiced. The veteran journalist and co-anchor of Good Morning America talks with Carla about getting out of her comfort zone to switch from sports to anchoring GMA, how she identifies the ease and rhythm of a good interview, and one of the most important lessons she learned from her mom: make your mess your message. And Robin gets real about being nervous on the job when she was younger (hint: gotta make a quick bathroom getaway!).

Diverse representation means changing not just the cover of the magazine, but what conversations and decisions go into making it. Michelle Lee, Editor in Chief at Allure magazine, made it her mission to redefine beauty by diversifying the images, voices, and stories inside. She also banned the term “anti-aging” from the magazine in an effort to show that beauty isn’t determined by youth. Michelle and Carla talk about her career in magazine journalism, facing imposter syndrome at work, and how Michelle found her place in her job by sticking to her ideals. Plus, she shares her best sunscreen recommendations.

Living in the middle of nowhere doesn’t mean being disconnected - sometimes, it builds the strongest bonds. Author, home chef, and Food Network star Ree Drummond found herself living on a remote ranch in Oklahoma when she married her husband Ladd. It wasn’t the life she’d envisioned for herself, but as she soon found out, it was the life that fit her. Ree tells Carla about the beginnings of her blog-turned-TV show, The Pioneer Woman, and about how her relationship with Ladd involves a lot of humor and rubber snake pranks.

Actress, author, and scientist Mayim Bialik started acting when she was a kid, then got her doctorate in neurobiology before returning to TV in The Big Bang Theory. She’s also written books about the science behind adolescence, and hosts a new podcast on mental health. Mayim’s also starring in a new show, Call Me Kat, about a single woman who opens a cat cafe.

Even champions have their doubters, and sometimes that’s an inspiration to fight even harder. Laila Ali, champion boxer and cookbook author, talks with Carla about how her determination to fight overcame her father’s misconceptions about women in the ring, and about how preparation gave her confidence when facing an opponent. And now that she’s retired from boxing, Laila has turned to another of her passions: cooking. She and Carla geek out over how Laila developed her own organic spice mixes, and what they’ve learned about honoring your own palette.

Saying yes is always hard, especially when it means being the first person to break boundaries. Misty Copeland was the first Black woman to be named principal dancer at the American Ballet Theater, and her stunning career has been focused on further opening up ballet for Black and brown dancers. Her new children’s book, Bunheads, inspired by Misty’s own childhood, shows the power of friendship and storytelling in ballet.
