Today's episode is deeply personal. I'm honored to introduce my oldest son, Mike Nicholson, known as Digital Tapestry. At 16, Mike was in a near-fatal car crash. That accident changed everything. He walked away with a halo on his head, but the dream was put on hold. What could have broken him instead ignited something powerful. Mike turned to music and fitness as healing tools, writing songs that come from the most honest, vulnerable places. His journey from trauma to transformation is inspiring. Today, Mike is a finalist in America's Top Hitmaker competition. He's one step away from performing on the same stage as Post Malone, being featured in Rolling Stone, and winning $50,000. This isn't just a story about music; it's about resilience, redemption, and the dream that refused to die.

Her one woman show Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, which started at Club Fez in New York in 2002, has now become a world-wide phenomenon, having been performed to packed houses in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Green Bay, San Francisco, Seattle, and in France, where Arngrim performs entirely in French to standing room only crowds in her all-French version titled: Confessions d'une Garce de La Prairie and La Malle aux Tresors de Nellie Oleson. As a stand-up comedian, Arngrim has headlined at nightclubs such as the Laugh Factory, the Comedy Store and the Improv in Los Angeles; as well as the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York and assorted comedy venues across the United States and Canada.

Arngrim has mocked her status as an “ex-child star” on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, during their month-long parody, “Hollywood Survivor” and continues to be a frequent interview subject on everything from A&E, “E!

In her spare time, she takes tourists on the rollicking comedy outing, Nasty Nellie's Tour of Hollywood, (featured at Dearly Departed Tours), where she simultaneously enlightens and amuses passengers with behind the scenes tales from both Hollywood history and her own life.   Offstage, Arngrim has been a dedicated and compassionate AIDS activist for nearly three decades, volunteering for AIDS Project Los Angeles and Tuesday's Child, an organization assisting children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. In addition, Arngrim currently serves as California Chair, National Spokesperson and Founding Board Member on the National Advisory Board of The National Association to Protect Children, or PROTECT.org, fighting to give children a legal and political voice in the war against child abuse.

This week on Sisterhood of Sweat, we're diving into a true crime story turned silver screen thriller. Hollywood veteran Paul Guilfoyle—yes, Captain Jim Brass from CSI—joins us to talk about his latest role in Any Day Now, a gripping new film based on the real-life Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist—still the world's largest unsolved property theft. With a $10 million reward still on the table, the mystery remains very much alive. Guilfoyle stars as Marty Lyons in this Boston-set thriller that captures the chaos, cleverness, and consequences of that fateful St. Patrick's Day in 1990. We also talk legacy, longevity in Hollywood, and what it's like to be part of a film that's got everyone buzzing.

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Sweat. I'm your host, Linda, and today we're bringing you an extraordinary conversation with Michelle Kern - a fighter pilot who turned fear into her ultimate superpower. Imagine going from a small town in Wisconsin to flying jets for the Thunderbirds, breaking through barriers, and conquering self-doubt at 9 Gs. Michelle's journey is not just about aviation - it's about how we can all harness our inner strength, challenge our limiting beliefs, and soar beyond what we thought possible. Today, we'll explore how small, bold choices can lead to massive transformation, why visualization is your secret weapon, and how to turn that inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, an entrepreneur, or someone looking to break through your own mental barriers, this episode is going to light a fire in your soul. So buckle up, because we're about to take off into a conversation that will inspire you to embrace your fears, trust your potential, and become the badass you were always meant to be. Let's dive in! What drew you into aviation in the first place? What was going on in your life before that that made you want to live such a bold, fearless life? What was the moment you realized fear wasn't something to run from, but something you could harness? How did fear show up for you in those moments, and how did you deal with it? What did you find out about yourself when you showed up fully, stopped focusing on your fear, and had some faith? How did you earn the nickname Mace? What's the one message you want women to leave with today? Quotes: "Boldness is built, not born." "Productive, healthy, happy people don't [leave mean comments online]." "If you feel stuck, you know that you have more potential than you're currently fulfilling, otherwise you wouldn't feel that way." "When you recognize that that entity [inner critic] can be something separate from you, from your identity, and that gives you that perspective to be like, okay, sure, but that's not factual, like you can take it or leave it." "If I focus on the potential rewards of taking this risk... the potential rewards of taking this risk are so much bigger."   Connect with Michelle: https://macecurran.com/ https://www.facebook.com/macecurran/ https://www.instagram.com/mace_curran https://www.linkedin.com/in/macecurran/   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T"  Essential Formulas
