Karen Finocchio Karen Finocchio: My name is Karen and I am here for you. In fact, the whole OTM Army is here for you. Directly out of high school at age 19, I married a military man and by age 28, I had four children and a toxic marriage. At 30, I decided to leave my extremely unhealthy marriage to become a single mother. With no education, I took any job I could get, as a waitress, a bartender, a mail delivery person, a bank, to eventually sell and voice radio commercials. Denied food stamps and struggling financially to provide for my children, I met an earth angel who told me about a government program for single mothers. The program allowed low-income women to buy a house, with no money down and no interest. So, against negative opinions, disbelievers, all self-doubt, and fear of failure; I did it, by myself, as a single mother, we bought our home. While my children grew, I focused on my career. I learned everything I could, especially about advertising and marketing. Within years, I opened my own in-house agency, allowing me to work with the WWF/WWE, NASCAR, The Grammys, Sharon and Ozzy Osborn, as well as cast members from The Sopranos and the Jersey Shore show. Learning from others, I wrote and produced national radio and tv commercials which aired on NBC, CBS, FOX and every network in-between. However, as my career and column flourished, I faced some very tough times. Two failed marriages and a devastating suicide by someone I loved, left me questioning my purpose in life. In 2012, on the advice of my children, I started the One Tough Muther (#OTM) advice column. A web critic critiqued me as “Dear Abby on steroids” due to my tough love answers and my column skyrocketed. To date, I’ve been published in magazines, interviewed on radio shows, on podcasts and TV shows. In August of this year, The One Tough Muther Show hit the market. Premiering on CBS Radio with co-hosts, Tough Muther and Tough Brother Seth, we aim to inspire women at any stage in life, to believe in themselves with self-confidence, building self-esteem and courage. Our goal is to help women realize, that the only person that must truly believe in you, is YOU. able guests include: Gloria Allred, Kara Goldin, Melinda Wittstock, Joy Altimare, Erin Cole, Dr. Lillian Glass, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Tracy “JackieO” Latourette, Polo Tate, Taylor Daynes, Dr. Anna Lee Fisher, and Jennifer Dulski.

As a passionate modern-day renaissance woman, Polo Tate is an actor, an artist, and the author of Deep Dark Blue. Her Great Great Grandfather was Ransom Eli Olds (R.E. Olds), a pioneer and prolific inventor most notably responsible for inventing the first American internal combustion automobile—the Oldsmobile. Polo is on a mission for all to see, feel and understand their own self-worth, empowerment, and value. She loves people, lives every moment to the fullest, lets no one take her joy, and avidly practices the belief that you can do anything upon which you set your mind, heart, and spirit. When she was eleven years old, Polo had a dream: she wanted to be in the Air Force. She stamped this dream into an aluminum alloy pair of dog tags, and shoved them in her sock, and proceeded to wear her dream every moment of every day—through self-imposed double-day practices, through four years of varsity volleyball, basketball and soccer games, through National Honor Society, through every class and test to keep her 4.0 GPA, through SATs, ACTs, military vetting, even through the senatorial nominations she earned. She wore this dream when she accepted the appointment and signed her NCAA letter of intent to attend and play volleyball for the United States Air Force Academy. Then, her dream was warped, whipped, and ripped out from under her. In her terror, she was faced with one question—Do I stay, or do I live? Join Polo Tate and me on Tuesday, December 11, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about her life’s journey, and her recently released memoir of survival, Deep Dark Blue. Surviving physical, sexual, and emotional abuse at the hands of her superiors at the United States Air Force Academy, and her devotion to wholly embody the principle that no one can take your joy when you live heart first.
