In this week's random riff, Colleen talks about a new challenge she's undertaking over the next month and how she's staying on track despite some early setbacks. She encourages us to get started with our own challenge, to push for change as it's the only way to get results. Are you up for it? 

This week Colleen interviews Lu Ann Cahn, eight-time Emmy award-winning TV reporter, mom, two-time cancer survivor, and author of the inspirational book I Dare Me. Lu Ann discusses getting stuck in her career and life and how, at her daughter's urging, she embarked on a year-long journey of firsts to find courage and happiness. Lu Ann's story and advice are applicable to all ages and situations as we look to be our best and happiest selves. 

This week Colleen speaks with the lovely Mary Jane Hurley Brant, psychotherapist and author of the book When Every Day Matters. MJ shares her deep perspective on dealing with loss, finding our passions and learning to accept the life that's in front of us. 

In this week's solo episode, Colleen riffs about the importance of taking that first step and getting started. No matter what it is you want to do, there's no better time than the present to take the initiative and move forward.
