My Legacy Podcast

Originally aired September 30, 2025
In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations about resilience, friendship, and the strength of women who lift each other up.
Entrepreneur and bestselling author Marie Forleo joins My Legacy podcast with her ride-or-die best friend Kris Carr for a raw and deeply personal conversation about navigating life’s hardest moments—and the power of having someone by your side through it all.
Join hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger as Marie and Kris turn hard-won wisdom into practical tools you can use right now. Together, they share how their friendship has carried them through illness, family crises, and the pressures of building meaningful lives and careers.
Together, they reveal how:
A simple mantra — “everything is figureoutable” — can help you face any challenge
Fear and anger can become fuel for courage and growth
A “friendship code” can transform how you show up in moments of crisis
Facing grief—not outrunning it—leads to real healing
Long-term love thrives when you celebrate differences instead of trying to erase them

The critical difference between trauma bonding and drama bonding
How social media and the “attention economy” fuel stress addiction
Why loneliness is more dangerous than we realize

Before Dr. Scott Lyons became an expert on drama addiction, he was living it – weaponizing empathy, chasing crisis to feel alive, and mistaking stress for connection.
Now a clinical psychologist, body-based trauma expert, and author of Addicted to Drama, Scott joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger for a fearless and deeply personal conversation about chaos, trauma, and the hidden ways we keep ourselves stuck.
Joined by his best friend of over 20 years, Nicole Asselin, Scott reflects on the childhood trauma, shame, thrill-seeking, and relational patterns that shaped his life – and how he ultimately broke free.
Together they explore:
The science behind addiction to stress (and how endorphins keep us hooked)
Trauma bonding vs. drama bonding
Why chaos can feel safer than peace
How to build connection without crisis
Turning thrill-seeking into growth instead of self-sabotage
Note: This episode includes discussion of suicide and mental health. Viewer discretion advised.

Zarna Garg is one of the fastest-rising comedians in America. A sold-out touring headliner, streaming special comedy star, and breakout voice redefining what midlife success looks like, Zarna didn’t step onto a stand-up stage until she was 44.
In this electric and deeply personal episode of My Legacy, Zarna joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to talk about losing her mother at 14, leaving home, immigrating to the U.S., and reinventing herself more than once. By her side is her plus one — her daughter Zoya — the person who dared her to try stand-up and helped turn her jokes into a viral, sold-out comedy career.
Together, they share how:
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself
The life experience you think disqualifies you may be your greatest advantage
Betting on yourself can change your family’s future
Reinvention requires courage — not permission
Your voice gets stronger with age

Jurnee Smollett – Emmy-nominated actress known for Lovecraft Country, Friday Night Lights, The Great Debaters, and Apple TV+’s Smoke – has spent her life in front of the camera. But long before the accolades, she was a young girl raised in a home where art, activism, and self-reliance were daily lessons.
In this deeply personal conversation, Jurnee sits down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to reflect on the moments that nearly pulled her away from acting – and the calling that brought her back. Joined by her plus one, sister Jazz Smollett, she opens up about growing up in a house of creators, refusing roles that didn’t reflect her standards, navigating insecurity, and redefining strength after motherhood.
Together, they share how:
Failure can redirect you toward your true calling
Refusing to conform can protect your purpose
Strength is about discipline and willpower—not appearance
Motherhood expands who you are—it doesn’t diminish you
Art can heal both the artist and the audience
