She’s a familiar face to so many Angelenos—an Emmy award-winning journalist who spent decades in local news, including anchoring right here in Los Angeles at KTLA and later at KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV.
But beyond the headlines and the bright lights… there’s a deeper story.
A story about identity, reinvention, and what happens when the career you’ve built for decades suddenly shifts.
She’s someone I’ve long admired—first as a young journalist looking up to her… and now, as someone walking a path not so different from mine.
Today, we’re talking about resilience, letting go, and what it really means to rebuild…
and yes—what we don’t miss about the industry either… the early wake-up calls, the constant glam, the big hair, and how much of your personal life gets wrapped up in the job.
