My love for radio began in 1980, when I was a newscaster at a college radio station, and then, I met my husband, Ted Nugent, when I was a traffic reporter at a rock'n roll radio station in Detroit. After getting married, raising a child and becoming an International Fitness Presenter, I still felt like something was missing in my life.  I’m a seeker.  I want answers to the most important questions in life like, what’s my purpose in life….how can I be healthier, happier, more prosperous, and how can I eat chocolate cake and not gain a pound?   Doesn’t everyone? I love hearing about what makes people tick, how they got to where they are today, what inspires them, and what their successes and failures are. This Rockin' Life is an educational, enlightening and entertaining podcast that will encompass a variety of topics from experts that can help you live an amazing life - a Rockin Life!
