It’s one of the biggest reasons why she decided to pen Warrior; she felt like there was a lot more to her – and her story – than many people may have realized.

Rather than brutally attacking others, she provides insight and details to help us understand situations she was in, and how they helped form her. How did Lisa Guerrero go from broadcasting punchline to winning eight National Headliner Awards (including one over runner-up Anderson Cooper)? I loved the way she told her story from trying out as a cheerleader to becoming a coach and reporter all while acting too! In a podcast last week, Tafoya acknowledged the pain of a miscarriage but blasted Guerrero’s literary depiction of Gaudelli. Meanwhile, my father, a planning consultant for nonprofits, is also a gifted photographer, poet, and visionary.There was that time, for example, she walked down a hotel hallway with broadcaster John Madden after a production meeting in a conference room. You will be able to overcome that challenge because you’ve already practiced being brave, every single day. We wouldn’t listen to these women, and we wouldn’t eat their cooking (we’d rather have McDonald’s anyway). During her career in sports broadcasting, Guerrero covered Super Bowls, Worlds Series, NBA Finals, and interviewed sports superstars. Then when the time comes when you really need to be brave whether there’s a conflict, or a challenge, or a catastrophe?

When I became an actor, I was trained to channel the suffering, rage, and love that my characters possessed into my performance. At the same time she was doing the MNF job and does nothing but complain about how bad her life was, how depressed she was, how she considered suicide, etc. She followed her dreams, broke ground for other women, became a role model by her actions and a hero by sharing the costs and conditions behind it all.

A collapsing marriage, embarrassment in front of a national TV audience, an extremely difficult medical issue while working the MNF sideline, and an unwise financial investment mark just a few of the very personal and difficult situations delved into here, and I can't help but commend Guerrero for taking what could have been a fairly inspirational but bland "rah-rah" kind of "overcoming the odds" life story and making it as open and powerful as the news pieces she has changed lives with over the years. Her new book, Warrior: My Path To Being Brave, takes all the parts of her life experiences (the good, the bad and everything in between) and weaves them together in an intimate yet entertaining way that encourages and emboldens the reader to discover their own path to being brave. The one-two punch left her in such “an endless pit of despair,’’ as she described it, that she once fought off the strong urge to drive her car off a cliff along the Pacific Coast Highway.

She also prides herself on preparation, gearing up for these showdowns by reading court transcripts, interviewing attorneys, visiting with victims and speaking to the show’s legal team. I was struck by how fast paced and well-written it is, told in a voice that is surprisingly vulnerable and raw. The tell--I was legit disappointed when it was time to go out to dinner, even though it was to one of my favorite restaurants with someone I adore! The initial hour set aside turned into a six-hour non-stop journey of “one more chapter” to the final page.As a woman, that’s what I faced in that role, and it was definitely not the happiest time in my life,” She continued. I feel like they are necessary, not to serve myself, but to serve the purpose of the story or the victim or survivor. Then, I felt it was more important: post-Me Too, post-Time-Out, and when there’s a real discussion in sports about mental health. I do a lot of speaking about being brave, but for some reason, I had a hard time tackling my Frida Kahlo series. She said the key to breaking the ice with Giants outfielder Barry Bonds before an interview was a last-second booger check.

He had Guerrero come up and asked her to improvise some aggressive questioning of the actors portraying A’s players.Guerrero is an excellent storyteller, and I loved the honesty, vulnerability, and vivid detail of most of her story. But at age 41, and with her career at a crossroads, she saw it as an opportunity, as she describes in the book, for “my big f— you to the critics, the media and everyone who had ever said anything disparaging about me.
