I wanted to look behind the curtain, and I did! Turns out, she&#8217;s just a normal person. Who knew?! We cover everything from our favorite TV shows to her career in PR, over to dirty words in Australia that mean something completely different in Canada&#8230; and we did all of this from her car.
