The Conversation

I finally sat down and watched an episode of a new(er) show on Lifetime produced by Demi Moore and Amanda de Cadenet called The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet. It has been waiting for me to watch it for quite a few months and I thought it was about time to check it out. The show is a series of candid interviews with famous women on a variety of topics - love, divorce, children, confidence, balance, and the media, just to name a few. Originally, a friend and co-worker told me to DVR it because the discussion topics related to our 10th Grade Media Literacy Unit. Not sure why I waited so long to tune in, but I am glad I finally did.

Sometimes I just need to hear other people discuss their lives in a way that is revealing rather than superficial, making everything seem so wonderful. That is exactly what this show does. I also am a strong believer in the power of women and since The Conversation is a collection of relaxed interviews with women, it is empowering just to listen and think about the topics. Currently, Lifetime is not showing reruns of Season One but you can view the episodes online at www.vimeo.com. Also, be sure to take a peek at the supplemental website, The Conversation, where guest writers contribute daily. Let's hope for a Season Two!
