Kathryn interviews Author Dr. Katherine Reid.Katherine Reid, a biochemist, and Barbara Price, a seasoned science writer, delve into the hidden dangers of MSG, revealing how this additive, prevalent in processed foods, is linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, autism, addiction, depression, and cancer. Their research not only sheds light on how MSG is produced during food manufacturing but also provides practical dietary solutions to combat its harmful effects.

Dr. Reid is the founder of Unblind My Mind, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to improving health through informed food choices.Kathryn also interviews Author Laurinel Owen.International cellist and journalist Laurinel Owen knew her husband, Klaus, for 27 years — or so she thought. After nursing him through a lengthy illness and eventually mourning his passing, She discovered that Klaus had taken a devastating secret to his grave: she wasn't his only wife. But that wasn't all. Klaus had bilked her out of thousands of dollars and was the son of a Nazi murderer who had fled the United States amid FBI accusations of being the head of the American Gestapo. With honesty and vulnerability, Owen invites readers into her multi-faceted tale of deceit, self-deception and the high price she paid for living in denial. Her husband's transgressions spawned a three-continent lawsuit that she had to navigate while bearing the weight of the shame she carried over her part in the real-life drama. She has published over 130 articles in Strings Magazine and the British magazines The Strad and Muso on topics related to cello technique, soloist, luthier and music school profiles, concert, festival, and record reviews.

Kathryn interviews Author Susan Hensley. When you were a child, there may have been no better feeling than picking up a crayon and letting your imagination run free. The joy, simplicity, and freedom of just creating was easy and honest. As you became an adult, life became complicated and overwhelming. Author and transformation coach, Susan Hensley, introduces us to art journaling, a helpful tool for navigating life transitions, cultivating mindfulness, processing emotions, building resilience, and uncovering inner wisdom. She shows how putting colors, shapes, and images on paper can be a profound path to self-discovery, emotional healing, and unleashing joy! She holds a BS in communication/social science from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MS in journalism from Northwestern University.Kathryn also interviews Dr. Andrew Elliston.Schools in two states experiencing a rise in Covid cases announced they were closing facilities and switching to remote learning. Alabama and Tennessee announced the closure of two schools — affecting more than a thousand children — just days into the new academic year, with officials saying the virus had forced them to shut down and carry out a 'deep clean.' At one of the schools, children had to abandon their desks and revert to remote learning for two days — a move reminiscent of the early days of Covid. Sharing his insight is Dr. Andrew Elliston, a board certified pediatrician based in New York City. He received his Doctorate of Medicine at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed his Pediatric Residency at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. He has been chosen for inclusion on the “Super Doctors and Rising Stars of New York City Pediatricians” list by The NY Times in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Kathryn interviews Author Karen Olson.In 1981, marketing executive Karen Olson hurried to a business meeting in New York City. An elderly, homeless woman outside Grand Central Station caught her eye.

Kathryn interviews Author Michael Grossman MD.All couples long for an intense, passionate love that lasts, and all couples will encounter conflict—the challenge is knowing how to navigate this journey while growing a deep, enduring partnership. Having been married for over 50 years, Michael Grossman MD and his wife Barbara Grossman PhD are now sharing the science of “falling in love forever”. They admit they ran into headwinds as a young couple and faced painful and destructive conflicts but they had two children, which motivated them to find a solution. The doctors share their wisdom to clarify and enlighten readers with strategies that balance both security and mystery in romance. Michael Grossman MD has been a board-certified family physician and has been a fellow of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine since 2009. Kathryn also interviews Author Brian Belefant.When he was a young student in Italy, Alex flirted with becoming an artist. After returning to the USA, he built a career as a commercial photographer, shooting houses, cars, breakfast cereals, and other objects for sale. He found a business partner, Tony, who got him funding for a studio. As Alex reflects, his work wasn't glamorous—he never got to shoot gorgeous swimsuit models or go on location to Paris. Yet he remembered the lessons his mentor, Janusz, had imparted about lighting and observation, which made his work not only better but also satisfying. After ten years, Tony sold the studio and handed him a big fat check. So, now he is a millionaire with a condo and a beautiful live-in girlfriend, Grace, who always seems to have a headache. He is frustrated and uninspired—until he stumbles across the existence of an artificial floating marvel (or atrocity) called the Pacific Garbage Patch. Why not charter a yacht to go out and explore it? Brian Belefant started his career as an advertising copywriter, writing hundreds of commercials for major brands, from Nissan to Pepsi. He is an award-winning fine art photographer.

Kathryn interviews Author Author Sara Glass PhD LCSW. With honesty and courage NYTimes Modern Love contributor -Please God Help Me Stop Missing Her- Dr. Sara Glass tells her coming-of-age, awakening and survivor story. As a teen growing up in the small, insular Gur Hasidic sect in Borough Park, Brooklyn she had accepted her calling as a servant of God: to become a dutiful wife and bear children. Still, she had questions. Hardest of all was to understand why she so deeply and powerfully felt a love that she was taught to hate — love for someone of her own sex. She takes us inside the community and family in which she was raised, her two troubled marriages, and her struggles with shame, guilt and the dread of losing her children. We follow her through a hard-won divorce and her extraordinary journey to finding herself. Sara, therapist, writer and speaker, helps members of the queer community and individuals who have survived trauma to live bold, honest and proud lives.Kathryn also interviews Author Bill Eddy.When we think of bullies, most of us think of aggressive kids or teens who terrorize individuals they perceive as weaker. Yet, bullying isn't relegated just to the schoolyard. On the contrary, adult bullies exist everywhere and run rampant in many families, workplaces, neighborhoods, political arenas, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, chaos, and fear reign supreme, we witness celebrities, politicians, and other public figures exhibiting some of the most egregious behavior. Bill Eddy — therapist, lawyer, mediator, and personality expert — reveals how adult bullies have infiltrated every aspect of our society and explains why we so often allow them to operate unchallenged. He is the author of over 20 books and manuals and has a popular blog on PsychologyToday.com.
