Kelley Johnson, Miss Colorado 2015, had a life-changing moment on the Miss America stage. In an instant, she became the face of nurses everywhere – Thanks to the fact that she was “not just a nurse”… And if you ever wanted to hear the real story regarding Kelley’s talent, the answer to her on-stage question, or that whole blow-up with The View, today is your day. I realize I’m not supposed to have favorites – But honestly, we think this podcast ranks right up there with some of our best interviews to date. #BigJunkieThanks to Nurse Kelley… Enjoy! 🙂

Kate Peacock is one of those ladies who lived her life with purpose and direction – And just so happened to win the title of Miss North Carolina along the way!  She certainly understands what it’s like to overcome serious challenges, and then make the commitment to “give back” to those in need… We can absolutely see why Kate was such a popular Miss North Carolina – and after today’s podcast, you will as well! (PS – This interview was recorded back in June while Kate was still serving as Miss NC, before our Outstanding Teen Series began).

Today, Carrie Lakey recounts her time at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen in Orlando!

Enjoy!

Ladies like Georgia Frazier, are what make the Miss America program so amazing. Georgia is personable, smart, and completely comfortable with herself – which is probably why she finished in the Top 10 at Miss America 2016! In fact, Georgia knows herself so well – that when she was told she was about to make “one of the worst decisions” – she stuck to her guns and still chose what her heart wanted. She shares that story and much more, on today’s Pageant Junkies Podcast…
