♪ signed, sealed, delivered, i'm yours ♪ and signed, sealed, delivered. a dream come true. a 21-year-old's life changed forever. >> who is this kid? what an inning for the 21-year-old. >> after one major inning of baseball. ♪ signed, sealed, delivered, i'm yours ♪ it is good morning, america. we are so glad you're joining us here. we have a lot to get to and talk about the banking crisis. customers at two banks were able to get their money after the government stepped in but there are still concerns about further fallout. we'll have what it means for your money ahead. we begin with the major storms on both coasts. at least 26 states bracing for severe weather. a nor'easter hitting the east coast and more flooding slamming the west coast. we have team coverage on both sides of the country. rob marciano going to start us off in santa cruz where evacuation warnings have been issued. good morning, rob. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. well, here we go again.

after a brief break the rain has started. our next atmospheric river event has begun in places like santa cruz and monterey counties. we can't take any more water. this as new rescues happened overnight along the san gabriel river outside los angeles. overnight, the los angeles county fire department rescuing six people that were trapped on a riverbed. multiple helicopters used to pull victims to safety. rescuers searching through the night as one person may still be missing. evacuation warnings issued in santa cruz county. up to six inches of more rain expected on top of the already saturated ground. in monterey county nearly 2,000 people evacuated when a levee failed, and residents may not be able to return for weeks. some haven't still made it out. maria alvarez telling us she needs to get back to her house to get vital medications. >> she left it behind because she was in a rush to leave. >> reporter: the storms have

dealt a major blow to a major agricultural area. many seasonal farm workers facing more hardship from flooding. farm losses for the state already estimated at million and that before today's storm hits. up north in donner pass heavy snowfall causing more travel disruptions. tractor trailers at a standstill as conditions get dangerous. trucks not able to get traction with chains on their tires. plows working through the night. as snow falls, many vehicles still buried. truckee getting nearly four feet of more snow in the last four days. snow levels rising today so that means it will be another warm rain event and rivers will likely flood. san lorenzo river has a history of flooding communities upstream in the past and we expect the same thing, unfortunately, to happen today. george? >> okay, rob, thanks. >> that's the west coast. now to the east where the boston area is under a winter storm and high wind warning. trevor ault is on the scene in

chelsea. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, george. so this storm is really getting going here but already unpleasant. getting ready to get all of this salt deployed as soon as this converts into snow. of course they can't plow with the rainfall. it would wash away and already so slippery we're starting to see vehicles spinning out. we have the winter storm advisory for the whole state and high wind advisory for the coast. this will be wet and heavy snow with some areas seeing wind gusts 60 miles an hour. a bad recipe for power lines. we could see widespread outages that could take a while to get fixed. this is expected to be a two-day storm. the higher elevations might see two feet of snow. lower elevations like boston might only get a few inches of snow, but with that and all the rainfall we're having there's also concerns for coastal flooding. robin? >> that is a real concern, thank you. now to ginger in albany

where more than a foot of snow could fall on new york state capital. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, robin. state capital behind me, the branches full of this wet, heavy snow. this is super dense snow as it's making its way onto the roads we're seeing crews throughout the morning having to clear this slushy stuff and certainly slowing down traffic. you have to go north of poughkeepsie to get into the snow. binghamton, more than half a foot in a lot of places. parts of the berkshires had more than 15 inches and we have a whole day of snow ahead. i think two feet is certainly possible for some of the higher elevations. see all the winter storm warnings, the wind advisories from nevada over to washington, d.c. but i want to focus in on the nor'easter. if you're seeing rain or nothing, doesn't mean you're not getting impacts, the wind will become big through the afternoon. southern new jersey down into delaware, look at some of those snow totals that we'll have on top. boston is all rain but after the noon hour you start to transition to snow. a sloppy commute by this evening. some of the highest, green and white mountains, catskills. look at the winds, 30, 40, 50-mile-per-hour winds that could impact flights from new york city to boston. anywhere you see in that pink and blue. look at that beige area, if you're driving i-95 high-profile

vehicles will have a rough time. boston starts as rain and tra transitions to snow. a lot of places, massachusetts, could easily go two plus feet, maybe enclven closer to three. there's a look at the strong winds. be careful into tonight. robin? >> be safe, ginger. michael? now to new fallout from the second largest bank failure in history. customers lined up to take their money out while federal officials took action. rebecca jarvis is here with what it all means for your money. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning. we were just getting to see the initial ripple effects of all of this. there's frustration, there's chaos, but the government is hoping to put that to rest by guaranteeing that all deposits in these failed banks are safe. this morning, a sliver of good news for the customers of silicon valley bank and signature bank, now being

granted access to their money after a distressing 72 hours following two of the biggest bank failures in u.s. history. >> it felt like pure chaos. we had millions in svb. >> reporter: new mom and founder of dispatched goods, lindsey hoell, says she waited outside a menlo park svb last friday before being told no one would get in. now she can soon access those funds and her business is safe. >> i'm really grateful that the federal government did step in at the right time and this is, i think about as good of an outcome as we could have hoped for. >> reporter: on monday armored trucks arriving and customers lining up as regulators took action to guarantee all deposits of the failed banks will be paid back in full, even those deposits over the federally insured amount of $250,000. president biden assuring americans it's the banks who will pay.

>> no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. >> reporter: as many depositors breathed a sigh of relief, investors were still rattled. regional bank stocks plunging amid fears the pattern among bank stocks could spread. >> it's going to take at least a week to disseminate through all the other regional banks and try to ascertain or figure out are there other banks that have similar issues. >> reporter: even some of the largest banks, which are held to a higher standard, traded lower. analysts believe the overall banking system remains strong. >> the too big to fail banks have the heaviest hand of regulation. they had to have more capital on hand and take a stress test and had to have a living will to talk about how they would dispose of assets in the case of them closing for business. >> reporter: an update on

ohio business woman lindsay who we talked to earlier, she was able to recover her funds monday morning calling it a huge sigh of relief. that is the kind of update we like in a story like this. one big question, what happens to interest rates? the fed as we know has been hiking interest rates to lower inflation. we got a government report this morning saying inflation is down overall, but still up 6% in february with groceries up by more than 10%. the fed may pause on tackling those aggressively because higher rates are an issue for banks right now. robin? >> it could and know that the fight against inflation and rising interest rates a big reason why these banks fail. we keep hearing from our viewers, rebecca. should they be worried about their money? >> we understand this is a really nerve-racking thing to see. here's what you want to remember. one of the biggest takeaways from all of this for consumers no matter what type of bank your money is in, whether it's small or large, as long as it is fdic

insured, and most banks are, the government is effectively guaranteeing that you will be made whole even if that bank goes out of business. that applies to your savings accounts, checking, cds, individual and joint bank accounts. now, it does not include risky investments like stocks or bonds or crypto. another major consequence of these recent bank failures is what happens next to interest rates. now the fed was expected today to hike interest rates in the coming week to keep combatting inflation, and it still could, but wall street doesn't expect the hike to be as aggressive now, and the reason is, like i said, these interest rates when they go higher, they put even more pressure on the banks. so consumers could get a little breather here too. this is maybe the good news. already what we have seen is the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage last week 7% above that number. this week it has gone down to 6.57%. on a $400,000 mortgage, that

means your payment instead of being $2,674 would be more like $2,546. that is a monthly savings of $128 as rates come down. george? >> not so bad. rebecca, thanks. let's bring in mary bruce and, mary, the president took pains to convince people this is not a bailout. >> reporter: he is trying to prevent panic and assure americans they can trust the banking system and their money will be there when they need it and adamant this is not a bailout insisting banks, not taxpayers, will be funding this. he says those responsible will be held accountable, saying the bank's leadership will be fired. the administration is trying to get to the bottom of how all of this happened. the fdic is launching a review and the president will ask congress to strengthen the rules regulating banks to put back in place and reinstate some regulations rolled back under the previous administration.

all of this to try to ensure we don't end up in this situation again, george. >> we'll see action from the president today on guns? >> reporter: yeah, the president will be signing an executive order intended to boost background checks and also urging regulators and people to try and put in place more red flag laws. the president -- look, he knows he is limited in his ability to take action here but will be signing this in monterey park, california, where back in january 11 were killed and the administration touting this to get as close to universal background checks as possible without legislation. of course this will take action from the hill. the president wants to show americans he acting where congress is not. george? >> mary bruce, thanks. michael? all right. now to the new provocation from north korea launching missiles for a second straight day as the u.s. and south korea begin joint military exercises in the region. our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is tracking it all for us this morning. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. this is the second launch in two days. overnight north korea firing two short range ballistic missiles

traveling 380 miles or so landing in the sea of japan. now, on monday north korea claiming it launched two strategic cruise missiles. this time from a submarine although the u.s. and south korea is still trying to access what happened. these launches come as the u.s. and south korea conduct 11 days of military exercises and they have already begun. the north, of course, sees things differently. the u.s. warning the north, though, against potential escalation fearing it could resume nuclear tests during these military exercises in the next few days saying if it does that would be a dangerous provocation and significant threat to peace and security in the region. george? >> thanks, ian. we get the latest now on the investigations into former president trump. his former attorney and fixer michael cohen testified yesterday before a grand jury here in new york signaling the case is close to completion. aaron katersky is tracking the case. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning, george. michael cohen's testimony came as former president trump

campaigned in iowa, undaunted by the possibility of criminal charges here. cohen testified for about three hours and will come back tomorrow to answer more questions about the $130,000 he paid to porn actress stormy daniels on behalf of former president trump. cohen said the hush payment weeks before the 2016 election amounted to an illegal campaign donation. an attorney for trump said it was meant to protect his family from embarrassment. now, cohen may be among the last witnesses before the manhattan district attorney decides whether to charge trump. he has been invited to testify too but his attorney told us he has no plans to participate. instead, trump is campaigning telling an audience in iowa he would turn the justice department on any prosecutor that seeks to indict him and if that happens, george, as you know, trump has said he has no plans to leave the race for the white house. >> legal and political worlds are colliding.

aaron, thanks very much. robin? now to senate minority leader mitch mcconnell waking up this morning at an in-patient rehab center after being discharged from the hospital. mcconnell is recovering from a concussion and rib fracture from a fall last week. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill with more for us. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. we are told that senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is recovering well out of the hospital after suffering that fall last week and we are learning new details about his condition. in a statement his office says, at the advice of his physician, the next step will be appearing at physical therapy at an in-patient rehab facility before he returns home, adding the leader's medical team discovered he also suffered a minor rib fracture. mcconnell is 81 years old, the longest serving party leader in the history of the senate. sources tell me he's been in touch with senators by text and met with his team including his advisers at the hospital, but at this point it's unclear when he will return to capitol hill.

aggressive. >> is there a way for you to keep him back? we're trying not to shoot him. >> reporter: despite trying to shoo him, the zebra continuing to move toward the deputies leading them to make a snap decision. >> they had put down the zebra because it became aggressive towards deputies and other people on the scene. >> reporter: clifton taken to the hospital where doctors were able to reattach his arm. experts say the animal may have felt threatened and acted out. >> male zebras, especially if females are in season, get incredibly territorial. that male was probably looking at all these things as a threat. >> reporter: the u.s. is the biggest importer in the world of wild animals for pets. owning and trading them is a multibillion dollar business. in ohio exotic animals have to be registered with the state but ohio doesn't consider zebras to be exotic pets. >> they're trying to categorize it as a horse. you have an absolute wild stallion in a zebra. an animal with wild instincts. it makes it that much more

dangerous. >> reporter: thehe ty aren't se why it the owner had one male zebra and multiple female zebras. you heard it could have been them protecting the females but they were also doing some work on the farm so it's possible he was spooked by the equipment. we'll never know exactly why. >> completely legal to have zebras in ohio. >> categorized as a horse in the state of ohio. >> okay, thank you, eva. >> glad he's going to be okay. weno a driver who used an ingenious method to survive being stranded in a snowstorm. matt gutman spoke to him. >> reporter: an ordinary motorist stuck in the snow might think of hiking to safety or more likely hunkering down and just waiting for help, but not casey ryan. >> my friend was saying, we have everything we need and so i just thought, okay, let's just give that a shot. >> reporter: earlier ryan, his dog and a friend nosed their truck into this park. casey is used to these snowy roads.

>> thanks. >> reporter: so to recap, casey takes his cell phone and writes a text to his wife with location details,ra it aper towel, gets a piece of cord, ties that to the bottom of the drone and it worked. >> she let me know do not leave the vehicle, they are coming. >> reporter: hel way. by the way, that drone flew three times over a 24-hour period sending those messages to >> when he said he used his drone to get reception, we were shocked and kind of amazed at the ingenuity. >> reporter: the county sheriff's search and rescue rolling in and pulling out casey's truck. casey's grateful to be alive and still showing off his drone skills. >> i immediately texted my wife. i told her, you know, thank you so much. it's because of you we got out of here. >> reporter: that sheriff saying creating a drone, attaching a

>> no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. >> reporter: but as many depositors breathed a sigh of relief investors were still rattled. regional bank stocks plunging amid fears the problems facing svb could spread. but this morning, one more reassuring sign, we are seeing a huge rebound in those regional bank stocks. one of the key takeaways for consumers here is no matter what type of bank your money is in, small or large, as long as it's fdic insured the government is effectively guaranteeing you'll be made whole even if that bank goes out of business. your checking, savings, cds, individual and joint bank accounts. it does not include investments like stock, bonds or crypto, michael, those are always risky bets. >> oh, yes, they are. yes, they are. thank you so much for that, rebecca. we go overseas now where anti-royal protesters chanted "not my king" outside westminster abbey as king charles arrived for an important address.

all this with just under two months until the coronation. let's go back to chief foreign correpondent ian pannell outside buckingham palace with the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. you're right, some potentially worrying signs, i think, for the new king as he prepares for his coronation in a few weeks' time. once again met by protesters from this group called republic. king charles arrived for his first commonwealth day services, and the protests are still relatively small but i think represents a drop in support for the monarchy and relatively low approval rates for charles especially compared to his late mother. now, they've followed the king to recent engagements and say they're getting ready for their biggest protest on the day of the coronation. their mission is to see the monarchy abolished and want the king replaced with a democratically elected head of state. protests against the queen were rare where charles has had eggs hurled at him. while many brits will support

his coronation in a few weeks' time, questions will be asked about holding a lavish expensive ceremony when so many in britain are in the midst of a cost of living crisis. michael? >> definitely going to be a lot linking a mediterranean diet to lower risk of dementia. our medical contributor dr. darien sutton is here to break it down for us. doc, tell us about it. >> we have long known the benefits of the mediterranean diet in terms of heart disease and reducing our risk of heart attacks and strokes and in this new study they found an associated reduced risk of dementia. they looked at a study 60,000 people in europe and those who most closely stuck to that diet had a more than 20% reduced risk of dementia despite genetic risk. >> this is the second study of this type we've seen in the last week. >> yes. >> how do you incorporate this florida your own diet? >> at the end of the day it's leaning away from processed

foods and toward plant-based diets is what the epicenter of the center of the mediterranean diet is and making sure you limit saturated fat swapping out butter for good fat like extra virgin olive oil and supplementing with whole grains, lentils, beans and nuts. >> makes sense to me if i can get somebody to make it for me. [ laughter ] >> any volunteers? >> i can't help you there. >> thank you so much for that. we want to wish a big happy birthday to a friend of ours on "gma." happy 100th birthday shirley goodman better known as the dancing nana. you may remember she visited us on the show three years ago with her family, remember this, even at 100. she doesn't miss a beat. here she is dancing away at her birthday party over the weekend. >> wow. >> okay, you want to know her three secrets to a long, happy life? >> she's tap dancing. >> she can dance. she's said that's a key, dancing, a positive attitude and

we are back with our "gma" cover story. kara goucher who made allegations of sexual abuse against her former coach is telling her story in "the longest race." linsey davis spoke to her. >> repter: she's one of the fastest long distance runners in a world championship medalist, two-time olympian and marathoner. >> running is life changing and it's given me so much freedom and strength and power. >> reporter: but now in her new memoir, "the longest race,"

goucher says publicly for the first time she is the woman behind the sexual assault allegations that led to her once famed coach alberto salazar getting a lifetime ban at the olympic and national level in 2021. >> alberto salazar was very, very powerful. he was a legend. he won the boston marathon. he won the new york city marathon three years in a row. the more i got to know him, the more i liked him. he was very personable. >> reporter: goucher says she first met salazar in 2004 when she and her now husband adam were approached by nike to join the oregon project. >> i became the first woman to join. >> did you think alberto can take me to the olympics? >> the longer i was there i really believed he was the person that could get me there. so much so that later on i felt like i was nothing without him. >> reporter: goucher said she made great strides, running some of the fastest times of her life but rationalizing what she says was unusual, salazar sometimes

personally massaging his athletes. >> i had never seen a coach give an athlete a massage and so i just thought he's just so dedicated he's even willing to give his athletes massages. i kind of convinced myself that that was normal. >> tell us about the moment you felt like this wasn't normal. >> i was in a hotel alone with alberto in italy and he was giving me, you know, a post workout prerace what he would call flush and it just felt wrong. i was thinking there's no way he's touching me like that. i'm imagining this. he's just a bad masseuse, but really i was sort of frozen, not knowing what to say or do or accept that this was happening. >> reporter: goucher says at the time she didn't tell anyone about the massage. >> i felt like maybe it was just a mistake. le the two were in lisbon for a race. >> it was the same situation where i felt his finger was going where it shouldn't be going and i was so uncomfortable.

>> reporter: goucher left the oregon project and says she never spoke about the alleged assaults until she was questioned by lawyers about doping allegations against salazar as part of a u.s. anti-doping agency probe. in 2019 salazar was suspended for four years by that agency for doping violations. allegations he has denied. but in 2021 he was banned for life by another agency for sexual misconduct. in her book goucher says she testified about the alleged touching before safe sport, an organization that investigates abuse claims in sports and that her allegations were the basis for his lifetime ban. nike said in a statement in part, sexual misconduct has no place in sports or society and is something we stand vehemently against. alberto is no longer a contracted coach and we shuttered the oregon project several years ago. mr. salazar did not engage in any doping of his athletes and not a single oregon project athlete was found to have violated the rules.

salazar tells abc news in part, any claim that miss goucher was sexually assaulted by me is categorically untrue. i've never sexually assaulted ms. goucher and never would have done so. the accusation is deeply hurtful and abhorrent and contrary to my fundamental beliefs as a husband, father, and a deeply devout catholic. >> is there any satisfaction for you that he will be never participate in the running world >> honestly it makes me a little sad because i know how much he loves it. that's his whole life, but at the end the day he should not be coaching. >> you say in the book you finally realize the power is not in your legs. where have you found your power? >> in my voice. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> "the longest race" is today. michael? now to pop superstar selena gomez sharing her personal

struggle with social media in a new interview and how she finally learned to stand up for herself. erielle reshef is back with that. good morning, again, erielle. welcome back. >> reporter: good to be back. good morning, michael. selena gomez says she was lying when she acted like the body shaming she experienced on lie didn't bother her. she remembers the comments about the weight, and the times it left her in tears. ♪ >> reporter: as the most followed woman on instagram, at 398 million, seemingly everyone is looking at selena gomez. and with that attention, selena says a hidden struggle, behind otherwise picture-perfect images. >> i lied. i would go online and i would post a picture of myself and i would say, it doesn't matter. i'm not accepting what you're saying. all the while being in the room posting that crying my eyes out because nobody deserves to hear those things. >> reporter: in a new episode from apple tv plus documentary series "dear," the artis businesswoman sharing how t d medication she took to treat her

lupus caused weight gain which she says fueled online criticism about her body. >> i was posting these things saying, it doesn't bother me because i didn't want it to bother other people who are experiencing the same thing, getting shamed for what they look like, who they are, who they love. i just think it's so unfair. i don't think that anybody deserves to feel less than. >> reporter: selena has been outspoken about protecting her mental health, explaining to our juju chang last year the power of stepping away from social media and giving her team the reins. >> i haven't been on the internet in 4 1/2 years. >> what does that do to detox your life? >> it has changed my life completely. i am happier. i am more present. i connect more with people. it makes me feel normal. >> reporter: selena is not alone. a recent study found that teens and young adults who reduce

their social media use by 50% for just a few weeks saw significant improvement in how they felt about both their weight and overall appearance. >> we got to recognize what our warning signs are that maybe we need a social media break. so some things i look out for is if we're having trouble sleeping and constantly feeling like we need to be connected to our phones. >> reporter: good things to look out for. experts also say if you are feeling more anxious or sluggish, those might be signs to take a break from social media. try it for a few days, even a week, see how you feel. you can always go back online, just be mindful how it impacts your mental health. >> dr. sutton is nodding along, as am i. erielle, thank you. did you know it's sleep awareness week and just over 48 hours into daylight saving time, many of us are still adjusting to moving our clocks forward an hour but sometimes sleepiness is

caused for greater concern. dr. sutton is back to talk to us about this. so how does this affect us? >> that forward turn of that clock has been associated with sleepiness for all of us. everyone is having difficulty. it messes with our circadian rhythm and leads to loss of sleep. and specifically beyond that it has -- daylight saving time has negative effects on our physical health and certain studies we found that daylight saving time has been associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. in fact, the first day after daylight savings time the rate of heart attacks increases by 24%. in the first two days the rate of strokes increases this 8% and associated risk of depression and fatal car accidents. >> so because a lot of us here have been saying for the last couple of days we're feeling a little groggy and sleepy. how do we know the difference between it's something normal or could be more? >> as inside the primary care offices many providers like myself will ask questions relating to something called the

sleepiness scale. there are questions starting with how sleepy are you during the day and eight some include how likely are you to fall asleep when you're sitting reading and watching tv, zero being no likelihood, three, a high chance, additional things how likely are you to fall asleep after sitting quietly after a meal with no alcohol or sitting in a car at a stop light. if your score is over ten, that is concerning and you should talk to a medical provider. >> if you don't do well on the test or -- what can we do? >> if you don't do well on that test my recommendation is adjust your sleep schedule, making sure you make that sleep schedule. we have talked about this numerous times. making sure your naps are minimum -- maximum of 20 minutes and eliminating alcohol, caffeine at least four hours before bedtime. and in terms of making sure that we're doing all this, again, bedtimes aren't just for kids but all of us. trying to keep that sleep schedule the same throughout weekdays and weekends. >> there's no such thing as being able to catch up on your sleep on the weekends.

you can't catch up your sleep? >> there is some benefit. you're catching up on that sleep debt, but research studies, only two to three days maximum. you can't try to catch up on saturday for monday's loss. >> got you. all right. ah, we all try. >> i know. now to ginger who is there in albany. how is it going, ginger? >> reporter: i am planning my sleep deficit taking care of this weekend already. it's going well, robin. we got a half foot. 12 hours left of the snow here and winter storm warnings all over. so boston, we'll take a look there. the ceiling really low. they've had the rain and look for more than three inches, up to six inches closer to the new hampshire state line because it will transition to snow later this afternoon and don't forget hefty wins from washington, d.c. up to the northeast today. meteorologist drew tuma. it is a stormy morning. strong and gusting winds and a. -- flood watch is in effect.

a strength and not a weakness and how you share about how other women from -- young women from that era talking about lindsay lohan and britney spears and selena gomez speaking out, how they too went through what you did with social media and that and didn't selena reach out to you after your documentary in 2020? >> i ran into her at britney's wedding and said she saw my documentary and it inspired her to want to be vulnerable and open up and that just meant so much to me. i think it's so important when people can feel comfortable enough to tell their stories and especially people with big platforms to show life isn't perfect and people go through thing. >> and knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self? >> i would tell her that you're going to go through a lot in life, but one day you're going to use your voice to help others and make such an impact so it's going to be worth it. >> how did writing it all down help you? >> it was just so cathartic and

just therapeutic just letting go of so much because i carried so much on me for so long, and i have been through so many hard times, but just to put it all out there really felt good. >> you have good times as well, a new baby at home. how is it going? >> my little phoenix is my angel. so obsessed with him. he is just everything to me. my heart feels so full. >> that's a great name, phoenix. i love that name. >> thank you. >> how about your parents? how have they reacted? you said you weren't quite sure if your mother was going to read it. how did they react? >> we talked about it last week. she just read it and it was very emotional. i think it's very difficult to read about things that you had lovea s and supports me so much and she's so proud of me for being brave and telling my story. >> y'all are in a good place. >> yeah. >> we think of reality tv, i

think about "the simple life." 20 years. 20 years but now it's entertaining a new generation including your friend and co-stars' kids. nicole richie's kids are watching. >> yes. i was at dinner at her house recently, and her teenage kids watch the show and love it. so it's so amazing just how timeless it is, just love it. >> you have a whole other live going in the business world. how is it going? >> incredible. i have my media company, 11:11, and we're just doing so many projects and it's so exciting. >> great. well, thank you for coming in. "paris: the memoir" is out now. coming up, the new book on self-care. the four principles that will help you live your best life. help you live your best life.

and we are back now on "gma"

taking on llness industry. it's called "self-care", and we're back with stephanie ramos to explain how it all works. >> we can probably count the amount of times we hear self-care in a day. there is a number of choices and products, but your self-care process may be incomplete. >> reporter: when the relaxing bubble baths aren't cutting it and you can't light another candle, it might be time to try something new, real self-care. >> real self-care is an internal decision-making process that can layer into everything that you do. it's a verb. it's not a noun. it's not a thing to buy. it's actually a way to be. >> reporter: that's the goal of this new book, "real self-care," a transformative program for

redefining wellness. >> the first is setting boundaries and learning how to deal with guilt. the second is developing self-compassion for -- in the way you talk with yourself. the third principle is identifying your values and making decisions that are aligned with your own internal sense of self and then the last principle is that recognizing that in practicing real self-care, you are reclaiming power. >> reporter: another important tool be aware of your self-care compass. >> so with the compass, what is in the center? and that's your goal. that's the thing you're trying to achieve. the middle part is your how and so that is the values that you would like to bring and your personal manifesto. so that is the reason that these

goals and how you're going about them really fill you up. >> reporter: most importantly, be compassionate with yourself. >> as women, we're taught that selfish is a bad word and have exalted selfless and in real self-care i'm saying there is a middle ground. mi ph 'slledood enough and ywe f ou y>> a she says stop litigating your suffering. how many times do you say i shouldn't complain, i have so much in my life? telling yourself it's not okay to feel bad doesn't help. so step one is saying to yourself that it is okay to want change and it is okay to ask for more and it's okay to set boundaries which is the backbone of self-care. her book, guys, is on sale starting today. >> i couldn't agree with her more what she was alluding to.

self-care is not being selfish and sometimes you think i'm thinking -- no, self-care is not being selfish. >> exactly. you have to take that time for yourself especially if you're a working woman, a mom, you have to take that time in order to be able to care for others. >> don't care of yourself you can't take care of anybody else. >> amen. >> thank you so much. i'm loving this look in 2023. picking it up. what's going on? >> you know what, new year, new me. isn't it the same? >> yes. >> that's it. >> self-care. [ laughter ] >> every single year, self-care, george. taking a little more care. thank you, robin. made my day. hey, ginger, let's go back to you in albany. >> reporter: thanks so much, robin. i'm going with the snow facial today for my self-care. very heavy wet packing to trying to catch up to average in albany. but we know we're way above average in the sierra. can i show you a picture from

the central sierra snow lab? they got down to do the snow depth. that is three people long with the ladder deep in the hole to get to the base and now they know they're at least their third snowiest on record. that snow lab opened in 1946 with 651 inches already. they would likely get to second place with the storm currently happening. when you go to the coast or even the foothills, it's all rain and so with what happens today you could end up with high flood risks from san luis obispo, big sur, santa barbara's included nearly to malibu. the moderate risk includes los angeles. what this means is you could see mudslides, the creeks and rivers and levees could break and worried about that today and tonight. the timing takes you through 6:00 p.m. th drew: i am abc7news meteorologist drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. let watches and high wind warnings are in effect. after this morning, we dry out

leave the hammock. so don't push it. nay they go through a period of not reading, that's okay. >> reading anything is good. >> anything. you and i grew up reading the back of cereal boxes, remember that? so just read as long as you're reading you're doing okay. >> how is being an empty nester now? how's that changed your writing routine? >> i don't go out to write as much. i used to because i had four kids and go to coffee shops and places like that to write because i needed to get away from them. now finding it -- i'm actually looking for noise going around, why is it so quiet in here? so now i'm writing more at home. >> you're not precious about writing. a lot of writers have to have that same time every day, same place. you'll write anywhere. >> i'm a street writer so have written in the back of ubers, on airplanes, anything -- any time you can give me a little bit of space, i'm trying to write. >> you credited stephen king as one of your mentors. what did he teach you? >> the most important thing he -- first of all, the work ethic.

he is a genius. always producing but also the insecurity never goes away. i mean, even when he sometimes will send me a new book he's still nervous how i will react to it so i realize that insecurity will never go away. >> just part of the process. >> only bad writers think they're good. if you have a writer saying, yeah, i'm really great, trust me, the book is horrendous. don't read it. we all have those doubts and you have to have them or else it won't work. >> you have a big tv career coming out. what's going on next? >> the next tv show will be "shelter," on prime video, based on my younog adult series and filmed it right in new jersey across the george washington bridge. that will be out time this summer. >> all right, harlan coben, thanks for coming back.
