The Legit Chix (Phyllis Rogers, Alese Stroud, and Rhonda McKinnis) met for the first time in 2015 when they were the only 3 female leaders in a highly exclusive peer leadership development program. The bonding was instant! They’ve counseled and supported each other through personal and professional highs and lows ever since and now bring their candor and compassion (and sometimes unique sass) to the airwaves with this podcast.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? That’s what all the songs and movies this time of year tell us . . . but, for some, the holidays are incredibly challenging. The sights, sounds, and even the smells of the holidays tend to bring up memories of loved ones lost or relationships ended or even being stuck in a relationship that is not fulfilling your needs. Holiday grief affects a lot of us, so we invite you into our conversation with Sam Daily, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, to have a conversation about grief and some tips about how best to manage it. This conversation is raw and thought-provoking. And if you are struggling with grief right now, please reach out to family or a professional to help guide you through it. The Legit Chix are sending you all the love this holiday season. Please make sure to take care of YOU.
And for those living with or recovering from cancer, Sam is involved with some really cool organizations that can provide for free fly fishing trips for a weekend getaway that is all about you! See the links below.

Episode 46: Bone Deep (The Betsy Faria Murder) with Joel Schwartz
The Legit Chix were honored to sit down to speak with Attorney Joel Schwartz to discuss his book Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Murder and the most insane case we have ever heard or read about. The murder was featured on 6 different Dateline episodes, was made into a hit podcast narrated by Keith Morrison, “The Thing About Pam”, and eventually turned into an NBC dark comedy series with the same name starring Renee Zellweger as Pam Hupp and Josh Duhamel as Joel Schwartz. We dive into the challenges Schwartz encountered while trying to defend and then free Russ Faria for the murder of his wife, and we get the behind the scenes scoop on what it was like on the set of the TV series. If you are a true crime junkie, this is the episode for you!

Meryl Kennedy and her 3 sisters, Chantel, Felicity & Patchez, grew up on a rice farm in Mer Rouge, Louisiana. To them, rice is a part of their family’s legacy. Their father, Elton Kennedy, started farming back in 1964 and grew his first rice crop in 1969. Fast forward to today and their family, tenants, and employees directly farm over 25,000 acres of rice. Their local suppliers and family farmers share their vision to bring those of us who love to eat rice sustainably grown organic and natural rice products that look and taste the best!

Murder and intrigue in Arkansas! The Legit Chix were honored to host Denise White Parkinson for this two-part episode to discuss her fond childhood memories of summers on the White River, her connection to the River People, and a friendship she developed with L.C. Brown, which led to her writing a book, “Daughter of the White River: Depression-Era Treachery & Vengeance in the Arkansas Delta” about the incredibly tragic story of Helen Spence.
Now, Denise’s book has been turned into an indie documentary that has upcoming premiers in Little Rock and Hot Springs. In this first of two episodes, we take you up through a shocking murder in the Dewitt, Arkansas courthouse, and, along the way, we learn some equally shocking news about Alese’s grandpa!

Get ready for some laughs as we talk to the hilarious and entertaining Yancey Prosser, Agency Director at The Agency, Inc. We learn about casting for movies, TV shows, commercials, print ads, you name it! We were surprised to learn of some unique tax incentives for production companies to shoot in Arkansas. The warm fuzzies came out when Yancey shared the story of casting one of the stars of “Mud” and “True Grit”. (And watch the Chix make a plea to be in the next Matthew McConaughey rom com as extras or love interests . . . Anything! LOL!) Finally, Yancey has a newly released project that is going to make your television life much easier --- take a listen!

Our guest this month is Justice Stacy Leeds, educator, scholar of Indigenous law, Dean Emeritus of the UofA School of Law, and the first woman to serve as a Justice on the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court.
Have you ever considered what it must be like to walk the Trail of Tears as a Cherokee? In this episode of The Legit Chix, Justice Leeds shares her experiences biking that trail following a journal written by the man who led her ancestors on their journey.
Justice Leeds clarifies for us the impact of the McGirt vs. Oklahoma court case on tribal rights, and she shares the importance of her long-time friend Deb Halland becoming the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary in the US government.

The Legit Chix had so much fun sitting down with Nick Leopoulos, Executive Director of the Thea Foundation, and discussing how instrumental the arts are to education and how they give students the confidence to excel in whatever path they choose. The story of how the Thea Foundation came to be is compelling and bittersweet, but the incredible good that has come from a beautiful life cut short is inspiring. Since its inception in 2001, the Thea Foundation has awarded over $2 million in scholarships to high school students and more than $1.5 million for art supplies and creative materials to underfunded schools. Thea Foundation is literally changing lives! Please take a listen and go to the links below for how you can learn more.

In this latest episode, the Legit Chix hosted the award-winning author and journalist Sam Quinones to discuss his follow-up book to the New York Times bestseller Dreamland, where he broke open and exposed the opioid epidemic in this country. Now, with The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth, once again, Quinones was among the first to see the dangers that lay ahead with synthetic drugs and a new generation of kingpins whose product could be made in Magic Bullet blenders. We visit with Sam about his book and discover some of his reporting and interviewing techniques beginning with his days as a crime reporter. Finally, we learn how some subjects in his book made a lasting impression on him and led to the chapters on hope and how the community plays a role in rebuilding America after these tremendous losses to drugs.

Other Books by Sam Quinones:
- True Tales from Another Mexico: The Lynch Mob, the Popsicle Kings, Chalino and the Bronx (University of New Mexico Press, 2001) is a collection of non-fiction stories of Mexico on the margins and a country in transition.
- Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration (University of New Mexico Press, 2007) is a collection of non-fiction stories about Mexican immigrants and their lives on both sides of the border, based on Sam's reporting in Mexico. Stories include the Henry Ford of Velvet Painting in El Paso/Juarez; how a rich and vital opera scene emerged in the babbling border city of Tijuana; the season of a high school soccer team in Garden City, Kansas; and finally, how drug-trafficking Mennonites in Chihuahua ran Quinones out of Mexico. Threading through the book are the stories of a young construction worker named Delfino Juarez, who first hitched his future to Mexico City. Then, when it failed him, he moved north to Los Angeles.
- Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic (Bloomsbury Press, 2015) is the story of the evolving opioid epidemic in Mexico and the United States. Quinones describes the "explosion in heroin use and how one small Mexican town changed how heroin was produced and sold in America."

EPISODE 15: CAREGIVING, DEATH & DYING WITH THE HOSPICE DOCTOR’S WIDOW
The Legit Chix are so honored to have sat down with Jennifer O’Brien to have real conversations about caregiving and end of life. Jennifer, an artist, author, and businesswoman, encourages compassionate conversation about these topics through her multi-award-winning book, The Hospice Doctor’s Widow: A Journal, where she shares her story of caregiving through collages and writings.
Jennifer was no stranger to loss after her brother died at a very young age and then losing her mother years later. When her beloved husband, Dr. Bob Lehmberg ( a hospice doctor), was diagnosed with a stage IV, metastatic cancer, Jennifer’s life changed dramatically. To cope, she turned to what had brought her comfort for years—art journaling. She documented and depicted the raw, honest, beautiful and exhausting reality of caregiving through collage, tableaus, notes and observations, not realizing how, in time, they would come to help others, including one of the Chix.
Do yourself a favor --- listen to this podcast, read Jennifer’s journal, and then make a plan about what you can do to prepare your loved ones for the inevitable. The links below will take you to where you can buy her book, where you can get her “At Peace” tool kit, and how you can follow her on social media.
