I love books. I love lists. I love the end of the year. So naturally I LOVE the annual Best Books of the Year conversation with my real life book club friends Yasmin Dunn and Stephanie Newman-Smith.
Read MoreDuring our monthly Symposium meeting, the Secret Stuff community had smart, thoughtful, and compassionate takes on Britney Spears’s memoir itself and on Britney's place in music history and our pop culture lexicon.
Read MoreI love memoirs. I love hearing other people's stories in their own words. And, of course, I champion the idea to Share Your Stuff.
But what if the story you need to tell is really difficult? What if it's hard to do justice to the truth while also protecting (or not protecting) other people? My guest for this conversation is author Carmen Rita Wong and she is sharing her own 4 rules to doing this well.
Read MoreWhere a 40-something aunt (me) chats with her 20-something niece (Alex) about what we're reading, where we get our book recommendations, and how the algorithm affects both of these things.
Read MoreMy life’s greatest passion is reading. Books are my lifeblood. And so you will not be surprised that I have been greatly alarmed by the rise of book bans in America in the last few years. The idea of banning books is so archaic to me, so outdated, so harmful, it’s as if we have learned NOTHING from history.
Read MoreOne of the things I've been working on personally this summer is examining and resetting some of the systems in my life, mostly professionally related, but also personally. Kevin Miller’s book and this conversation came at the perfect time. Identifying what motivates you can be such a key to your success.
Read MoreI met author Alli Worthington over a decade ago when we were both in the mommy blogging world, and I've long looked up to her as an entrepreneur and innovator in the online space. And while I was a mommy blogger back then who didn't write much about motherhood, Alli was creating conferences, writing books, and raising FIVE boys and a stepdaughter.
Read MoreInstead of waiting for the end of the year to talk about our favorite books, my real life book club members Yasmin Dunn and Stephanie Newman-Smith and I decided we should have a mid-year meeting to discuss some of the great things we've read in this first half of 2023.
Read MoreMary Marantz and I talk about striving to be the most put together person in the room in the pursuit of perfection and acceptance, feeling like we need to prove that we deserve whatever success or opportunity we have, and how our little girl selves would be so happy with who we have become.
Read MoreIn this episode, I wanted to share with you ten thoughts about the book, the creative process, why I felt like a fraud writing it, and why I believe in its message so deeply.
Read MoreThis episode is an excerpt from the audiobook version of The Life Council, read by me. The sections I'm sharing here are called A Friendship Reckoning and Five Friendship Philosophies.
Read MoreMy second book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs comes out in just two weeks, and so I have writing on my mind.
Read MoreMy favorite thing in the world to talk about is BOOKS and two of my very favorite people to talk books with are Meredith Monday Schwartz and Kaytee Cobb of the Currently Reading podcast.
I've been such a fan of these two women and their podcast since it launched and it is always fun to chat with them about the best books we've read lately.
Read MoreIt's the FIFTH annual Best Books of the Year episode with my real life book club friends Yasmin Dunn and Stephanie Newman-Smith.
This is one of my very favorite conversations every single December and I do not apologize that it is super sized!
Yasmin, Stephanie, and I share 3-4 of our favorite books of 2022 across all genres.
As usual, there are some suprises, some curveballs, and LOTS of opinions.
Read MoreMy real life book club is BACK with our annual conversation about the Best Books of the Year!
Please welcome my friends Yasmin Dunn and Stephanie Newman-Smith back to the show for our fourth annual Best Books of the Year episode.
Read MoreI have a running list of classic novels that I want to re-read as an adult or read for the first time because I missed them in high school English class.
If you have the same literary burden, this episode is meant to help you choose a classic that won't be a total bore.
Read MoreThis summer I read NINE books that I gave a 5-star rating. NINE. This is unheard of, to read such incredible books all in the same couple of months. But now I'm so excited to share them with you!
Read MoreI'm so happy to welcome fellow debut author Sarah Bragg to the show!
Sarah's book A Mother's Guide to Raising Herself: What Parenting Taught Me About Life, Faith, and Myself is out this week.
Hope Anyway is Leeana Tankersley’s sixth book, and it comes after Tankersley found herself sorting through immense grief following the unexpected end of her long marriage.
Leeana Tankersley is funny and relatable and a great writer. I just loved our conversation that was full of vulnerable moments (me) and kind wisdom (her).
Read MoreThis conversation with my old friend Shawn Smucker is one of the best I've had in awhile. We talk about reading and ghost writing and self-publishing and (not) censoring what our kids read.
And we also talk about the books we wish we'd written. Somehow I shock Shawn with one of my answers!
Laura Tremaine has 10 Things to Tell You.
I live in Los Angeles. I'm a reader, a podcaster, a wife, and a mom.
At all times, I have (at least) 10 Things To Tell You. And I know that YOU have 10 Things To Tell.
This place is about connection, with each other and with ourselves. We can only do this by opening our eyes and seeing others and (even harder) by letting ourselves be seen.
Let’s tell our stories.
Let’s share our stuff.
I’ll go first.
