TURNING THE PAGE: Aly Orady On Finding Strength In Tough Moments

Episode three of the "Turning the Page" series features my friend Aly Orady, CEO and founder of Tonal. The company grew at rapid speed in 2021, which sparked his word of the year: Strength. The strength it takes to pivot in difficult times, sure, but also the agility needed to proceed in a different way than originally expected. Aly talks to me about managing supply chain issues, I offer him one of my favorite book picks of 2021, and he tells me the advice he'd give to himself a year ago, knowing what he knows now.

189. Kirsten Ferguson, Peloton Instructor

Kirsten Ferguson has conquered a whole lotta hurdles in the last decade. From struggling to have children and navigating multiple miscarriages to dealing with divorce, she's learned time and time again the power of faith and resilience. For episode 189, she talks to me about how she got into fitness — eventually teaching Spin from home during the pandemic — and the beautiful way that Peloton came into her life when she needed it most. I cannot say thank you enough to her for her openness, and as she says in our chat, acknowledging that speaking out — specifically about miscarriage — will help make other women feel less alone on their journey.

188. Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy, 'Dancing With the Stars' Pro

For Season 30 of Dancing With the Stars, Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy made history with partner Jojo Siwa as the first same sex couple in the show’s history. Today, I’m chatting with the DWTS vet about that and so much more, including how she got to be a pro on the show in the first place — growing up dancing competitively and winning international titles — plus her gateway to TV competing on So You Think You Can Dance. We also talk about her decision to move to LA at 18 and the difficulties she faced as she gained a following on social media — especially how troubling it was when other people started to vocalize how THEY felt about her body. Cue conversations around body dysmorphia, weight loss, and the creative outlet aside from dance that helped her come into her own and cope with various mental health battles. Plus, we rap about her husband Val and what’s on deck for her now that season 30 is over.
