Out of Bounds | Episode 10 - Dee Patel

This episode, Jaimie and Abby are hosted by the extraordinary Dee Patel, the Hermitage Hotel's first female Managing Director in the hotel's 111-year history. Patel began her career at the Hermitage Hotel in the rooms division and quickly rose through the ranks to General Manager before earning her current historical position. One of Nashville's most influential voices and advocates for women and diversity, Dee has served on over 18 civic and community boards and earned a gamut of accolades, including Nashville Business Journal Power 100, NBJ Women of Influence, NFocus Nashville's Most Powerful Women, and NBJ 40 Under 40.

Charming and humble, relatable and inspirational, Dee shares her journey to success with Jaimie and Abby, including graduating with her Bachelor's degree at only 19 years old, her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and her other successful career: being a mom of two.

Thank you to the Hermitage Hotel for hosting Out of Bounds with Jaimie and Abby at their new glamorous dining destination, Drusie & Darr, a culinary partnership with Michelin-starred Jean-Georges, serving approachable and seasonally-driven cuisine.

Compassionate. Meticulous. Dedicated. Genuine. Those are some of the words used by patients to describe Dr. Nneamaka Nwubah - who goes by "Dr. Amaka" - a board-certified plastic surgeon at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute at Maxwell Aesthetics. Not all plastic surgeons complete an aesthetic fellowship, and fewer are trained by recognized giants in the specialty; Dr. Amaka has done both. In one of the most revealing episodes of Out of Bounds to date, Jaimie and Abby lean into the "nothing is off limits or out of bounds" mantra and ask Dr. Amaka everything you're dying to know about being a plastic surgeon. Mommy Restorations, collagen, post breast-cancer reconstruction, and more: It's time to axe the taboo around plastic surgery and consult the pro.

Taylin Lewan jokes that her Instagram page might get a lot of traffic from people actually looking for her husband Taylor... but WE are looking for HER.

Breaking all stereotypes of the "NFL wife," she cofounded Feeding Nashville with Hayley Hubbard to provide daily meals to individuals and families in middle Tennessee.
