Ep 17: Revisiting Flowers in the Attic with Meg Tietz

Flowers in the Attic was published in 1979 and has become somewhat of a cult classic novel, especially for women of a certain age who passed it among friends.

My dear friend Meg Tietz suggest that we revisit Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews, and we were both really surprised by what we found between the pages of this book.

Ep 13: Who do you tell?

Ep 13: Who do you tell?

Today’s topic - like many of these prompts - will either give you a buzz of excitement or a lump in your throat. I am aware that lots of things that we talk about on this show can fall either way. You can’t WAIT to talk about it, or you don’t ever press play because the title alone gives you some feelings you’d rather avoid. Today is one of those, I think, and believe when I say that I’ve been on both sides of this one.

Ep 9: 10 Ways to journal

Ep 9: 10 Ways to journal

On every episode of this show, I have encouraged you to take the topics and prompts to your journal. And maybe you glossed over that part, because you don’t keep a journal. Because keeping a journal seems a little bit too much 13-year-old girl to you. Or maybe because keeping a journal - STARTING a journal is way too overwhelming. Where does one start a journal? Especially as an adult. How do we do this? Is it lame? Is it private? Will I feel dumb?

Ep 8: Movie Director Jeff Tremaine has things to tell you

This episode is a little different because instead of asking YOU to answer a question I pose, I’m asking my guest the questions.

Ep 7: What are you assuming about others?

Sometimes I assume that everyone else is killin' it at life and I'm the only one flailing around. Sound familiar?

Ep 6: Revisiting Judy Blume

Ep 6: Revisiting Judy Blume

This episode is a little bit of a different format. I’m with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Dr. Cara Pence, and we’re revisiting a childhood favorite: Judy Blume.

I have several ideas for a revisit series, where we look at some popular things from our past - books, movies, tv shows, et cetera - and talk about how they affected us and how we feel about them now. So this is the first in that series and we’re looking back at the formative era of pre-pubescent literature that is Judy Blume.

Ep 5: Tell me about your teachers.

Ep 5: Tell me about your teachers.

Our ancestors, our enemies, our children, they are ALL our teachers. I can see that this topic might be something we revisit several times, from several different angles or categories, but today I want to talk about what probably came to mind FIRST: School teachers!

Ep 4: How do you connect to your body?

Ep 4: How do you connect to your body?

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt disconnected from your own body.

This episode is NOT about weight or exercise. We’re talking about the mind/body connection and the spiritual awakening that can occur when you really tune into your body instead of living on autopilot.

Ep 3: Where do you live?

Ep 3: Where do you live?

This is one of the most basic, get-to-know-you questions, and the answer can vary. Our country, state, city, and neighborhood all say something about us, whether we like it or not. 

On today's episode, we're not just talking about our zip codes, we're talking about how our location is currently affecting who we are. 

I live in Los Angeles, so I have 10 Things To Tell You about my little pocket of L.A.

Loneliness feels like one of the great taboo topics of adulthood. But all around me, I see and hear people whispering that they’re profoundly lonely.

Ep 1: When do you read?

Ep 1: When do you read?

WHEN do you read?

HOW do you read?

WHAT do you read?

In this episode, I’m answering all of those questions and so much more. I’m telling you my secret to reading (roughly) one book a week. We talk about if audiobooks count the same as reading a book you hold. And I confess my dilemma over rating books publicly.
