SEASON OPENER- Self Image

The new season is almost here and it is with extreme excitement to say we are launching in more markets than ever (MORE)! This spring TWRS will now be 6 STATES and 4 PBS markets. It’s our mission with the show to start the conversation on real-life issues and remind everyone that their story matters! No matter how delicate it is, there’s always hope! We will navigate each issue together.

We are launching our spring season with the topic- SELF IMAGE! From a young woman who is changing the way ads feature women, to a kid who took sewing classes and stitched his way to the red carpet (literally). And we also have the fabulous Amy Schumer talking about this topic and her new movie!

This must watch episode kicks off March 25th on Lakeshore PBS. For a full lineup of spring topics and markets- CLICK HERE! Thank you for your continued support. Make sure to JOIN THE CONVERSATION every Monday and LIVE TWEET with us @whitneyreynolds.

The Emmy Awards and our NEW SEASON

Whitney Reynolds and Dave Heiner

Last weekend was a complete fairytale. For the first time in my show's history we were nominated for an Emmy. This was not only my first Award's Show, but I also got asked to present. I walked the red carpet with my team, family and even with my fans LIVE via Periscope (FOLLOW @WhitneyReynolds). This picture above is one of those moments, I will talk about for years to come. No we did not win, but that's not my end all goal. MY MISSION- is to change lives, provoke positive change and help others, through our television program. Now that's what we will ALWAYS continue to do. I am however looking forward to many more nights like this one in the coming years.

BIG THANKS- to all the prep work that went in to my night! The good news is they are local for everyone who lives in Chicago and also online for everyone else. DRESS- Borris Powell, SHOES- Emy Mack, JEWELS- Accessory Mercado, MAKEUP- Starlight Makeup, HAIR- Robert Jeffrey Hair Studio, AIR BRUSH- Celebrity Skin, NAILS- Dynamic Salon! Love that all these folks have believed in me for multiple years and continue to support the show.

SEASON 5

We are officially in week 3 of our fall season. Coming up tonight we are talking "Perinatal Loss." This show is beyond real. I am so thankful for our brave guests who came on and were honest about their personal journey. I had to take a break to just catch my breath. This topic will hit to the core. I know ANYONE reading this blog knows someone that has miscarried or had complication with their pregnancy. The stats of people impacted by this topic are off the chart and we hope tonight's show helps change the stigma around talking about it.

Still to come this season we have-

• The Plus Size Movement
• Suicide Prevention
• Rising To The Top
• A Life Story

REMEMBER- With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this is a great time to reflect on everything in your life to be THANKFUL for. We are surrounded by daily blessings, but sometimes we are too busy to see them. A grateful heart is a beautiful heart!

I want you to know how thankful I am for each of you! Your support and viewership is the reason we keep growing and reaching more people!
