Remembering Richard Simmons

On July 13, 2024 the world lost an icon… Richard Simmons. Richard brought so much joy and love to his fans. He was America’s fitness guru who made us all feel seen and loved. I know this firsthand because Richard was a guest on “A Spoonful of Paolo” on June 20th 2013. It was a big moment for our show because this was our 50th episode. A dear friend of mine made this interview possible and I am eternally grateful. I couldn’t believe we were going to tape my chat with Richard Simmons at his iconic studio, Slimmons in Beverly Hills. Not only that, but I was able to take his class right before the interview, and it was one of my favorite workout experiences ever. I can’t tell you how much fun this was seeing so many people working out led by Richard himself. There was a moment where Richard called me to the middle of the floor and we were surrounded by his students dancing and cheering us on. After class, we started the interview and what I loved about Richard was his openness with his feelings. I could tell he loved the interview because we had a real connection. I was really proud of this episode. It’s moments like this that I am so glad I didn’t give up on my dreams. This day, this experience, this episode will never be forgotten. I grew up watching #RichardSimmons and seeing him be his authentic self was the best gift he gave me and everyone else who loved him. RIP Richard and keep spreading your joy and love with everyone else in heaven. Say hi to my heavenly mom and I love you both.
