Known for her warmth, wit, integrity, and unforgettable work on screen, Yvette opens up about the real-life experiences that have shaped her heart: caring for her beloved father, navigating grief after profound loss, finding love, stepping into marriage, and living as a relentless truth teller in a world that often rewards silence.

This episode is a conversation about what it means to show up fully. For family, for love, for yourself, and for what is right. Together, Michael and Yvette explore the beauty and weight of a life lived in public. They dive into caregiving, the sacred lessons found in grief, and the healing power of honesty. 

It is an exploration of how love can remain a guiding force even in life’s darkest seasons.

Tender, funny, wise, and deeply inspiring, this first episode sets the tone for A Lighthouse in the Dark: real conversations with remarkable people about finding hope, healing, resilience, purpose, and humanity when life gets hard.

Because even in the dark, there is always a light worth moving toward.
