We get into all of it—no fluff, no BS, just raw, honest conversations that’ll leave you fired up and ready to chase your own dreams. Come for the inspo, stay for the laughs (and maybe a few “OMG, same” moments). Let’s rise together!

   Rise Uncovered:12 Questions & No Filter with LJ & Barb

   73: No guests, no scripts, just LJ and Barb, a dozen questions, and zero chance of leaving with our dignity intact. 😅 This week we flip the mic on each other to find out what really makes us tick, from the deep stuff to the deeply questionable. Expect big laughs, a few surprise confessions, and at least one answer we’ll probably regret by Friday. Pull up a chair, get nosy with us, and meet the faces (and voices) behind Rise. 🎙️
