Breaking Through

In this month's half-episode, our own Kristen Brockman is in the hot seat as she gets interviewed by Episode 2 guest Richelle Meiss. Kristen shares her own CF story, about her sister Kelsi, who was the inspiration for Kristen's "UnBucket List" project, aimed at raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Later, we share some of our own picks from the world of CF this month, and give a preview of October's episode. You can learn more about the UnBucket List at www.theunbucketlist.com (http://www.theunbucketlist.com/).

This month, Breaking Through catches up with Los Angeles-based comedic, writer and actor Richelle Meiss. Four years ago, Richelle ditched the idea of law school, threw all her earthly possessions into her Honda Civic and headed out for LA to follow her dreams. She talks with Kristen Brockman about the bumps along the road, and how her sister with CF has kept her going--even in the face of doubters. You can find out more about Richelle at www.richellemeiss.com or by following her on Twitter or Instagram @reeshmeese.
