#953: Join us as we sit down with Valerie Bertinelli – Golden Globe–winning actress, Emmy-nominated host, New York Times bestselling author, and entrepreneur whose decades-long career spans television, publishing, food, and lifestyle. From her early days as a teen sitcom star to becoming a beloved Food Network host and bestselling author, Valerie has continually reinvented herself while staying true to who she is. In this episode, Valerie opens about her deeply personal journey toward self-acceptance, healing from past trauma, and doing the emotional work that comes with it. She shares the vulnerability behind writing her latest book, the lessons she’s learned throughout her career and personal life, and how her son, Wolfgang Van Halen, continues to inspire her every day.
