Episode #150 | Kiana JacksonFounded in 2018 by Chef Jacquelyn “Jackie” Jackson and her family, Jackie's Place grew from a home dining table into a South Bay institution. Their authentic soul food and traditional barbecue began as a catering service and eventually led to the opening of their first storefront, Baby Jackie's, in San Jose Japantown. As the enterprise scaled, Chef Jackie's daughter, Kiana Jackson, and the entire family operated all-hands-on-deck—with roles spanning executive operations, kitchen leadership, mixology, and pitmaster duties.In 2025, the family expanded downtown with a second location in the SoFA District on South First Street. Operating in the neighborhood brought Jackson into close alignment with neighboring Black-owned businesses, including Nirvana Soul, Ashy Aromas, and Sainte Claire Market. These neighborly connections laid the groundwork for Soul Street, a collective formed to highlight, centralize, and celebrate Black ownership and cultural presence in the SoFA District.In this conversation, Jackson talks about transitioning from corporate event management to the family business, how her time in Atlanta shaped her vision for Black-owned corridors, and the collaborative work behind Soul Street and From Ivory to Onyx in downtown San Jose.Soul Street presents From Ivory to Onyx, on Sunday, September 6, 5–10p on South First Street, featuring a collaborative five-course meal prepared by Chef Jackie, Jalen, Chephew, Ware, and Chef Leilani with pairings from The Continental, live painting by Tyler Gordon, Derrick Bell, and Akeem Raheem, and live music benefiting local scholarships.Tickets and additional details are available at soulstreetsj.com.Website: jackiesplacesj.com | soulstreetsj.comInstagram: jackiesplacesj | soulstreetsj

Have you spent years — maybe decades — building a yoga practice or physical discipline, only to reach a point where your body simply won't cooperate the way it used to?If the one thing that once grounded you, defined you, and kept you regulated is starting to slip away — this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are.My guest is Harmony Slater — one of fewer than 20 people in the world to hold the highest level Ashtanga yoga certification, earned through 15 years of immersive training in India. A certified mastery coach and breathwork trainer, Harmony has spent over 25 years helping women navigate midlife transitions, identity shifts, and the particular grief that comes when the body you've relied on starts to change.In this conversation we go deep on why the intense physical practices so many women depend on eventually stop working — and what becomes possible when they do. We explore how the nervous system learns to stay regulated under stress, why body awareness matters more than any pose you can hold, and why the present moment is the only place real choice actually lives.This one is for the high achievers, the disciplined movers, the women who built their identity around what their bodies could do — and who are now being asked to find themselves somewhere new.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your yoga practice was always about more than flexibility — and how it was quietly training your nervous system to stay regulated under discomfortWhat happens to your sense of self when the body you've relied on for control and accomplishment stops responding the way it used toThe difference between living as a human being versus a human doing — and why high achievers struggle most with this shiftWhy your thoughts aren't where you'll find the truth — and why Harmony points you to the heart and body insteadHow midlife women return to nervous system regulation without an hour and a half on the matA hand-on-heart breathing exercise you can try while you listen — a gentle way to feel into your own body awareness right nowWhy the present moment is the only place you can make a real choice — and how tracking breath and sensation gets you thereHow a two-minute breathing practice can bring your nervous system back into regulation on even the hardest daysWhat coming home to yourself actually asks of you — and why it's simpler than you thinkWhether your yoga practice, running routine, or physical identity is falling away in midlife — this conversation gives you something more portable and more permanent than any pose: a way back to yourself through breath, body, and the quiet wisdom of the present moment.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWant to try somatic work for free?

We are halfway through August and that means San Jose is entering Low Rider season. From influential publications, and generational car clubs, the city is one of the historical epicenters of lowrider culture. And a big part of that scene centers around the music booming from the tricked out cars. Up next, we explore what it takes to preserve this culture's musical legacy. In this story from 2025, Reporter Leon Morimoto catches up with a duo of DJ's and record collectors known as the Flipside Lovers. 

One Christian rapper says music helped her survive addiction, abuse, and homelessness. Today, how music and faith became her path to recovery. Then, one musician shares how her ancestor's labor speaks through her songs. And, one South Bay couple has turned rare-record collecting into an art form.

What if joy wasn't something you had to wait for  — but something you could actually adopt into your life?If you're rebuilding after divorce or navigating a recent loss and are quietly wondering whether you're allowed to feel good again while you're still grieving — this episode is for you.Most of us treat grief and joy as opposites, as if one has to end before the other can begin. My guest today gently dismantles that idea. Her argument is the reverse: your capacity for joy grows in direct proportion to the pain you've allowed yourself to experience. So the question isn't how to get past the grief — it's how to hold both at the same time.My guest is SC Perot. A Stanford Law graduate, Vanderbilt adjunct faculty member, and author of Styles of Joy. After the pandemic, a divorce, and a career shift that dismantled the life she'd planned, SC took a grief sabbatical that led her to 17 Harry Styles concerts across five countries in ten months — and to an entirely new understanding of what joy can look like after loss. In this conversation we explore the identity loss that quietly lives inside divorce grief, why escapism only works when it runs alongside doing the inner work, and the Japanese concept of borrowed views — a practice for turning jealousy into genuine delight in other people's good news. SC also shares her four-part CAPS framework for making joy a skill you build through repetition, and lays out what life after divorce can look like when you stop settling for just okay.In this episode, you'll learn:Why SC says the opposite of joyful is jealousy — and how you can catch envy before it takes holdWhat a grief break is, and how to tell it apart from bypassing your painHow happy music became part of SC's healing journey — and what it means to build a new soundtrack for a new lifeWhy sitting fully inside divorce grief expands your capacity for joyHow the doctrine of borrowed views lets you adopt other people's joy as your ownHow an abundance mindset replaces the scarcity story that someone else's good news means less for youThe 4-part CAPS framework — cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread — and which part trips people up mostHow SC's body told her it was time for a career pivot before her mind caught upWhy collective joy counteracts lonely grief — and where to find it without a concert ticketHow the three circles of connection — intimate, relational, and communal — protect you from loneliness after divorce or anytime.Whether you're deep in divorce recovery or simply carrying more than you expected this season — this conversation offers something rare: a concrete, compassionate path back to more joyful living and feeling like yourself again.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:Click here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteInstagramSubstackWant to try somatic work for free?

The Bay Area's homelessness crisis is one of the most acute in the nation, and it has concentrated in the region's biggest cities, like San Jose. Many communities have adopted new policies aimed at mitigating the crisis – from checks aimed at stabilizing vulnerable renters to making it illegal to refuse shelter beds. We examine the causes and potential solutions being implemented around the Bay Area, with a special look at a series of controversial new policies being implemented in the South Bay, including an effort to redirect funding from permanent housing projects to build more forms of temporary shelter.

In Part 2, Aft joins us to chat about the band—Top Chefs. We start with the story of how TJ met Aft. A mutual friend of his and Loveberry's, Lucas Hanson, put on a show at DNA Lounge called "Liam Berry and Friends." TJ was just getting out of high school at the time. They asked him to join them on stage, something he'd never really done before. TJ had been playing smaller sets in restaurants, but joining a band at a bona fide venue was new for him. Loveberry (Liam) had met Aft at something called a "sound gig" for a set they would play as part of the effort to keep People's Park in Berkeley from being closed. They called Loveberry because he had a PA and they needed someone to run sound. Loveberry didn't really know what that meant at the time, and he might've been mistaken for a guy named Jeff whom they'd been expecting. Nevertheless, Aft was one of the few people who was nice to Loveberry that day in Berkeley. The band ended up needing a guitar player, and so a mutual friend told Aft that he should have this guy, Loveberry, play guitar with him. They agreed and ending up borrowing a guitar from a member of the crowd. Aft later invited Loveberry to a rehearsal back in SF. Afterthough, aka Aft, joins the conversation at this point. He recounts his version of that day in Berkeley. It was still early pandemic enough that folks were wearing masks. He liked Loveberry's playing that day enough to ask him over. They played a couple of shows as "Aft and His Band" or "Aft … backed up by (various musicians.)" Aft was also asked to play with "Liam Berry and Friends." At that DNA Lounge show, Aft met TJ and the trombone player Will, who's also in Top Chefs now. Aft had played in bands for years, including with a set of twins who played piano and bass. But those guys moved to New York around the time he connected with Loveberry. And soon after that, TJ and other members of today's Top Chefs. There's some collective fuzziness around when this all went down, but that doesn't matter. It was the beginning of coming out of a worldwide pandemic when time began to get totally skewed for everyone. But also, they were just busy playing music and making friends. I ask the three of them who came up with the idea to play shows on the stoop of Aft's childhood home on Scott Street. Loveberry and TJ credit Aft with the idea. Liam talks about arrangements that Aft was putting together with complex horn sections. And in those sessions, one of the musicians started a habit of saying, "Yes, chef" to Aft when he was asked to do something. That came from watching cooking competition shows. The dude was messing with Aft, so at the end of a show one night, when Aft was introducing band members, he called this guy "the top chef" to get him back. The name stuck for the entire band after that. There's a story about TJ's Filipina grandma, who lives near DNA Lounge, making Filipino BBQ on a stick and madeleine cookies for the band. TJ wasn't sure what to do with the food, so he set it out in the crowd while they played a song called, "Everybody Eats." It was a whole thing, and something Aft says he wants to bring back. I ask the fellas whether anyone has ever compared their Stoop Sessions to NPR's Tiny Desk music series. There's a resounding "yes" from all three. Then Aft shares that Top Chefs actually shot a Tiny Desk audition video on the stoop. It was early 2024, and despite not making it onto the hit public media show, they realized that they had something in shows on the stoop. In 2025, thanks to a fundraiser show, the band went to South by Southwest in Austin. After that, they played in the Haight, Hunters Point, Bernal Heights, downtown. Then Top Chefs started ramping up the quality of the videos. In late 2025, just before they planned to take a break from the band, Aft called a media day. The video of that performance went viral. Top Chefs' Stoop Sessions had arrived. It must've been around that time that my wife and I discovered them and immediately knew we'd found something special. And it was basically in our backyard. This coming Sunday, Aug. 2, they'll be at Chapel of the Flowers in Berkeley. If you're in the South Bay next weekend, they're playing San Jose Jazz on Friday, Aug. 7. There's a show in Levi's Plaza in The City on Saturday, Sept. 12. And for more shows and info, and to lose yourself in videos of past Stoop Sessions, follow @stoopsessionslive. The band account is @topchefsband. Their website is topchefsband.com. Sign up for their email list to learn about upcoming Stoop Sessions. That's the only space they share that info with folks.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Agnes K. Simone, a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Olea Women's Health in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Dr. Simone specializes in integrative, hormone-informed psychiatric care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife — a space she says is deeply underserved. After training at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute and the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, Dr. Simone noticed a recurring gap in her practice: women were coming in with new anxiety, mood changes, and cognitive concerns, yet the hormonal connection was frequently being missed. That experience led her to found Olea Women's Health, a boutique practice designed to treat the whole picture — both the psychiatric and hormonal dimensions of midlife. We discuss what hormone-informed psychiatry actually means, why perimenopause is so often overlooked as a mental health inflection point, and what women deserve to know about the connection between hormones, mood, sleep, and cognition. Dr. Simone brings both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to this conversation, and her core belief is simple: women deserve care that takes their experiences seriously.

America will officially commemorate 250 years since it declared independence from British rule, and celebrations are well underway.But the Fourth of July also marks another important anniversary: 80 years ago, the U.S. signed the Treaty of Manila, which liberated the Philippines from colonial rule.Wednesday on Midday Edition, we talk about a new four-part series from KPBS, "The Forgotten Fourth of July," which looks at how that treaty shaped the Filipino diaspora over the past several decades — both here in San Diego and beyond.Guests:Elaine Alfaro, East County reporter, KPBSKori Suzuki, South Bay and Imperial Valley reporter, KPBS

The legal, environmental, and logistical challenges surrounding SpaceX's expansion in South Texas. Conservation groups and indigenous organizations have filed multiple lawsuits to block a land exchange with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and to challenge frequent beach closures that restrict public access. While the Texas Supreme Court recently upheld the state's authority to close beaches for launches, federal litigation remains active regarding the protection of endangered species and sacred lands. Simultaneously, SpaceX is advancing its "Starpipe" project, an eight-mile natural gas pipeline designed to replace truck convoys and support a significantly higher launch cadence. This infrastructure push coincides with the company's record-breaking initial public offering, signaling a strategic move toward total vertical integration of its fuel supply chain. However, local opposition persists over concerns regarding industrial wastewater discharge and the long-term ecological health of the South Bay estuarine environment.

The 4th of July holiday is this weekend. For some Bay Area nerds, their weekend will include not only fireworks and hot dogs… but space ships, and magic too!

Childcare is not a personal problem. It is an economic one, and the system built to support it is underfunded, understaffed, and breaking down.On She Built It®, Jennifer Cowan, CEO of Connections for Children, a $30 million nonprofit serving the West Side and South Bay of Los Angeles, shares what it actually takes to lead a mission-driven organization through a pandemic, wildfires, a headquarters move, and a national childcare workforce crisis, all while continuing to grow. Jennifer talks about how she turns big ideas into scalable systems, what it takes to align public, private, and community stakeholders around a common goal, and why resiliency and flexibility are the most critical leadership skills in the nonprofit sector today. She also speaks to the founding of New York City's first Expanded Learning Time model (now replicated nationally) and what leaders need to understand about building something designed to scale.This is a conversation about systems, leadership, and what it looks like to keep showing up for families when everything around you is changing.Connect with us:Connections for Children WebsiteConnections for Children LinkedInConnections for Children InstagramConnections for Children FacebookJennifer Cowan LinkedInWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedIn

Tom Mueller is driving his candy green Porsche Taycan Turbo S the way he builds rocket engines: with a terrifying amount of instantaneous thrust and little regard for the local speed limits of El Segundo. He is headed west on Marine Avenue, cutting through the smog-tinted sunlight of Los Angeles' South Bay aerospace corridor, talking about Earth's limitations.  “If we continue to grow like we have, eventually you just use up all the metals, you use up all the energy,” says Mueller, 65, who is especially concerned by the energy demand of AI data centers. “By about 2045, the total power that the world is generating right now would be needed just for compute. Exponential growth can crush resources on Earth.” From behind his reflective wrap-around shades, Mueller spots a gap in the afternoon congestion. His electric sports car can rocket from zero to 60 in 2.3 seconds, and Mueller seems eager to demonstrate the point. “This is where we accelerate,” he says, stomping on the pedal. The torque hits like a physical blow, pinning us against the leather seats as Mueller cackles. “The moon and the near-Earth asteroids,” he continues moments later, now parked at a red light, “contain billions of tons of metal, silicon, water and ice, so we have to start using it. It seems a little farfetched to start using it now, because we just haven't built the space economy. We haven't got there yet.” By John Hyatt, Forbes Staff Alicia Park, Reporter Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1215 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…138 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.1.Which approach to South Bay (or broader) culture do you usually lean toward: harsh rejection or thoughtless embrace?2."You can't love your neighbor if you don't care at all about what they love." Are there people around you — neighbors, coworkers, people at your kids' school — whose world you haven't really entered? What's kept you at a distance? 3.What's the darkness in your workplace or industry or other key community? What would you name? And is it something you've mostly accepted, or actively resisted?4.Saying yes to a culture — being genuinely present and engaged — is what gives your 'no' real weight. Have you experienced that? A time when your presence earned you the right to be distinct? 5.Augustine's restlessness — the inability to feel fully at home anywhere — is offered as something universal, not just his personal neurosis. Does that resonate with you? Where do you feel it most? 6.“Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh." This is preparation — what you dress for depends on what you're anticipating. What practices actually help you do that in the morning, or throughout the day? What's missing? 

Janet Housden in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://www.facebook.com/janet.housden A fixture in the earliest days of the LA area punk scene, Janet Housden played drums with Redd Kross and was a member of several other bands, while also appearing in classic cult films.  Janet Housden has been a creative force for decades in Southern California's punk scene. She grew up alongside many of the South Bay scene's iconic punk pioneers, including members of Black Flag, the Descendents and Minutemen, and played drums in the renowned Redd Kross (1982-83) and was a multi-instrumentalist in several other rock & roll bands.

Episode #147 - Jasmine BridgesSouth Bay native Jasmine Bridges has been known to dive headfirst into creative outlets. Early on, she did theater in primary school, later picked up a camera, and even performed competitively in Bachata and Latin Dance during college. Seeking a change of scenery and a "nomadic lifestyle," she left the Bay Area after her time at West Valley College to continue studying communications at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona.After graduating, Jasmine worked in higher education, coordinating operations at the university's College of Natural Sciences. There, she fell in love with student mentorship, managing interns, and supporting faculty by anticipating the small, human details that keep a large operation running smoothly.Despite building a deeply rooted community in the desert, a persistent pull toward home eventually brought her back to San Jose. Returning required an intentional effort to reconnect, leading her out to local creative hubs like the Goodtime Bar run club, local galleries, and regional photography meetups. Now as Production Manager for Content, Bridges brings her background in photography, communications, operations management, and community-building to help shape the magazine.In this conversation, Bridges traces her journey from photography to event management and explains how her return to the South Bay inspired a renewed dedication to storytelling and uplifting local artists.Website: jazziebphotography.mypixieset.comInstagram: @jazziebphotographyLearn More: ⁠content-magazine.com⁠

Lords: Jenni Chris Topics: Having to relearn how to autism mask for parenting situations because the rules are different APPARENTLY Only after five years learning to how make an irrigation system for a thousand plants, do I finally truly understand Han Solo's struggles with the Millenium Falcon. The D&D conspiracy theory I saw a few days ago and can't find now Don't Ever Kill the Buddha, by adzolotl https://irrealisms.tumblr.com/post/677079389150887936/dont-ever-kill-the-buddha Microtopics: Kitchen Bitchin' Forgetting about plugs because there's a small child. Out of Taskmaster again. A tiny, very opinionated man. Only understanding about seven concepts but having strong opinions about all of them. Plugging PicoSteveMo again. The Longing is Real Time. Being in charge of all the Jaunt capsules for a few minutes before you fuck someone's life up. What Stephen King would say if he heard about PicoSteveMo. PicoSteveMo: it's a good time. People at the bank thinking you're normal. Ordering whatever donuts make sense. Whether autistic people can order donuts. Putting on your donut ordering face and instructing your toddler to do whatever makes sense. Enjoying activating objects. Loving to access their functions. A wonderful world where everything is interactive, especially dog tails. What is a dog's tail for if not grabbing?? Better child-rearing outcomes associated with having heard more words. Keeping a running commentary going while you put pants on your toddler. Successfully interrupting your toddler before they disassemble anyone's grocery order. Drug dealers in the parking lot who love when your toddler tries to catch a bird. Yes! Yes, it's you! Feel shame! Learning how to make small talk so you can get a job at Spencer's Gifts. Whether you're autistic or if it's some other weird trauma instead. Dad at Swim Class. The kind of dads they have in Bakersfield. Trying to find O.G. Dad in the Dad Soup. Patriogenesis. Fixing the water pressure on one end of the line which breaks all the janky connectors on the other end of the line. The Big Chungus Alarm that you installed five years ago when you were working with the Big Chungus system. Robots tearing themselves apart in ways you don't understand vs. in ways you do. People who have worked on complicated systems. Trying something new and suddenly you're dumb again. The Millennium Falcon as a jalopy from American Graffiti. Twenty extremely cool-dressed Asian kids in their twenties with souped up cars there's a racist term for that I legitimately don't remember, I'm not just trying to avoid saying it. Somebody flipping their car in front of your house while the baby is trying to nap. Self depreciation in the South Bay pan-Asian community. Keeping nitrous oxide balloons in the back of your sports car and popping one into the Mr. Balloon when you need a speed boost. Kids making too many U-turns in the 1950s and the No U-Turn signs are still making it hard to get their you're going to this day. Things everyone knows about Walter White. Black Walnut Trees extruding Juggalos, killing everyone in the vicinity. A biome map that looks like when you take Minecraft and turn the biome setting to "really small" The D&D conspiracy theory that you saw on Tumblr but can't find any more. Being outed as someone who still thinks in terms of THACO. Running a Shadowdark campaign and making delighted noises the entire time. D&D characters leveling up too much and wanting to run a business. What purpose dice serve in a TTRPG. Rolling two natural ones in a row and cutting your own head off. Orcs running ice-cream shops. Having a hypomanic episode about not being allowed to be an elf with chainmail. Having the Red Box and also the four subsequent boxes of different colors. Picking up a gold piece and putting it back down over and over because finding a gold piece is worth 1 XP. Reading a lot of things that rhyme. Reading Dr. Seuss like Ulysses. Playing pranks on people who reincarnate. When one set of footprints disappeared it's when you married the Buddha and he carried you over the threshold. Everyone trying to understand the "kill the Buddha" koan when it's just that the guy really hated the Buddha.

Brent Jones sits down with me to talk about his fatherhood journey. He and I talk about the life lessons his kids have taught him. In addition, Brent shares the values he looks to instill into his daughters. After that we move to talk about his fantastic football career. We chat about his tough start into the league after a car accident to playing with the 49ers and winning Super Bowls with Joe Montana and Bill Walsh. We get into his broadcasting career and the challenges that he faced in the broadcast booth. Then we talk about him creating Northgate Capital and getting into the financial industry. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five.  About Brent Jones  Brent Jones spent his entire athletic career—prep, college and professional—in the Bay Area, going from Leland High in San Jose to Santa Clara University to the San Francisco 49ers. He was the third tight end taken in the 1986 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 5th round. After being injured in a car accident, the Steelers released him allowing him to be signed by the 49ers and the rest is history for the South Bay product. Eleven of his twelve years in the NFL were as the Niner's All-Pro tight end. Jones ranks fifth in 49er career receiving history. In regular season play, he caught 417 passes for 5,195 yards and 33 touchdowns. In addition, Jones had 60 receptions for 740 yards and 5 touchdowns in the playoffs.  He helped San Francisco to victories in Super Bowls XXIII, XXIV and XXIX. Therefore, Jones became the prototype for the tight end position under legendary 49er Coach Bill Walsh, the architect of the West Coast Offense. A strong blocker, he was an integral part of the 49er offense. In 1998, Jones was awarded the AIA Bart Starr Award, given annually to the NFL player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community. Brent retired from the NFL in 1998 and was quickly signed by CBS Sports for the NFL Today Show, and later as an NFL game analyst. He co-founded Northgate Capital and resides with his family in the Bay Area. Brent Jones and his wife, Dana, have two daughters, Rachel and Courtney.
