How do news anchors detach from the influx of negative stories they have to cover every day?
That’s the question, and so many more, I was able to ask one of LA’s most recognizable faces; Araksya Karapetyan. She's a working mom, human rights advocate, and the co-anchor of Good Day LA.
We’ve had a few encounters over the years, when I’ve been a guest on her show, and she always struck me as a woman with incredible drive and pose—and I’ve always wondered how she juggles it all. In this episode, we find out what it’s like behind the scenes.
