From Bestsellers to Barbells: A Former Editor's Midlife Reinvention Before she was coaching women through strength training and hormone shifts, this week's guest was deep in the world of book publishing and public relations. Today, she's a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT, and a Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY. Over the past decade, she's helped women of all ages reclaim their health through fitness, nutrition, and mindset work. In this episode, we talk about the career pivot that took her from editing manuscripts to coaching bodies and minds, what she wishes more women understood about perimenopause and menopause, and why strength training looks different (and matters more) in midlife. We also get into the mindset piece. How do we separate what's actually happening to our bodies hormonally from the stories we tell ourselves about aging, energy, and capability. Whether you're in the thick of menopause, anticipating it, or just curious what a truly holistic approach to midlife health looks like, this conversation is full of practical, grounded wisdom. Hilary Rifkin is a 61-year-old former book editor and public relations executive. She has spent  the last decade empowering women of all ages through fitness, nutrition and mindset coaching. Hilary is now  a holistic midlife and menopause coach based in Greenwich, CT. She is also Studio Leader at Life Time in Harrison, NY.  Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/

They open up about the parts of the process most people never see: the self-doubt, perfectionism, pressure, and vulnerability that come with putting your ideas on paper + sharing them with the world.  You'll also hear the lessons they learned navigating publishing, building a sustainable writing practice, and finding their authentic voice in a world overflowing with content. We also talk about: Why social media matters in publishing Balancing creativity + business The reality of the editing process Writing routines + accountability Designing a book cover that feels timeless Writing a book takes longer than you think Book marketing + launch strategy Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik  Instagram: @itskrista  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.

it is a truth universally acknowledged that there is no such thing as too many Jane Austen adaptations. it seems truly impossible to ever fully know the scope of how many literary adaptations of Pride and Prejudice have been made. there are the ever-predictable steamy retellings that ask the ever-present question “but what if they f*cked???”, retellings exploring the key themes but set in different cultures or countries and of course, novels that amplify the voices of Pride and Prejudices' many rich but silent characters.this month on the show, we're reading eligible by curtis sittenfeld to find out where her adaptation of one of the world's most famous classics lands on the sliding scale of literary retellings and reimaginings.send us your voice messages here

I know you've seen those bestseller badges on Etsy… Or those listings that instantly look like bestsellers. The ones that make you stop scrolling… click immediately… and somehow just feel more expensive, professional, and desirable. Well… there's a reason for that. And honestly? It usually has way less to do with the product itself… and way more to do with the listing image. In today's episode, I'm breaking down what bestselling Etsy listings actually have in common… why your mockups matter WAY more than you think… and how I now create high-converting listing photos in literally minutes… and how you can too.

before monsters learned their names, before heroes thought themselves immortal, there was a voice learning to speak. it's time for herstory, not history as we turn to Circe by Madeline Miller - a retelling and reimaging of Circe, the witch of The Odyssey - a story that promises to be absorbing, luminous and spellbinding – a feminist novel, ripe for the #metoo generation. we talk all about Greek mythology, our newly uncovered adoration for Madeline Miller, our previous podcast episode on the highs and lows (but mainly lows) of The Song of Achilles and ask ourselves the question, can the works of Madeline Miller be redeemed by Circe or are we fated to eternal literary woe?  send us your voice messages here

Most people think their kitchen is the safest place in their home. The truth is the opposite. The cookware you use every day, the cutting boards you trust, the utensils you stir with, even the coffee maker on your counter, may be quietly leaching forever chemicals, microplastics, and heavy metals into your food and into your brain. In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Nathan, founder and CEO of Caraway, the brand redefining what nontoxic actually means in the modern home. Jordan walks me through the night he called poison control after overheating a Teflon pan, the 2-year journey to launch a cookware line free of PFAS, and why six U.S. states have now banned forever chemicals in cookware. We unpack what PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE actually are, why they accumulate in fat tissue and cross the blood brain barrier, and why scratched pans, plastic cutting boards, and black nylon utensils are some of the most dangerous things in your kitchen. Then we go deep on the science. I break down the Nature Medicine 2025 study showing microplastics in human brain tissue at higher concentrations than the liver or kidney, with the highest accumulation found in dementia brains. We cover the rise of autoimmune disease, the credit card's worth of plastic the average person consumes every week, Caraway's third party testing for over 600 PFAS chemicals, and a full kitchen audit on a $1,000 budget covering induction vs gas, dishwasher dangers, and what's coming next as Caraway expands into the broader nontoxic home. This conversation will completely change how you think about what is in your kitchen, what is in your body, and what you can actually do about it.

Book Club but make it hot. We're told what to read. We're told what's “banned.” And we're definitely told what's a bestseller. But what if all of it is… kinda BS? In this episode, I dive into all of it with Tyler Wagner, founder of publisher Authors Unite, who's seen exactly how the game is played. Plus, I weigh in on the trending stories everyone's talking about, from continuous Unwell podcast drama to Russell Brand's culture war chaos, and what they actually reveal beneath the surface. A page-turner if you ask me ;)

Step into Episode 207 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Matt and Brian of Iconic Cocktails to talk about building an Arizona mixer brand over the last decade, from farmers markets and small-batch production to wholesale growth, hospitality partnerships, and a 10-year anniversary worth celebrating. What starts as a fun catch-up turns into a sharp conversation about partnership, product pivots, local sourcing, education-based selling, and what it really takes to keep a niche brand alive and growing in hospitality.​Matt and Brian break down how Iconic Cocktails evolved from an idea that once included soup and bar catering into a clean-label mixer company built around Arizona ingredients, strong local relationships, and constant customer education. They talk about building the business without a big machine behind them, producing by hand in small batches, growing through wholesale and hospitality accounts, and staying relevant as more consumers look for flavorful nonalcoholic options and more operators need something unique on their beverage menus. Along the way, Delo gets into their origin story, top-selling flavors like prickly pear and spiced honey, the new Strawberry Sage release for their 10-year anniversary, and the everyday habits that keep both founders grounded while balancing work, growth, and life.​Chapter Guide (Timestamps):​(0:00 - 4:50) Intro, 10-Year Anniversary, and How Matt and Brian First Connected​(4:51 - 8:15) Bringing on a Partner, Early Roles, and Why Working With People You Like Matters​(8:16 - 10:50) Devour, Arizona Hospitality Community, and Showing Up in Person​(10:51 - 16:10) From “Iconic Soup” to Cocktail Mixers, Education, and Small-Batch Production​(16:11 - 19:48) Distribution, Wholesale Growth, and Where to Find Iconic in Arizona​(19:49 - 24:48) Beverage Trends, Seasonal Flavors, and the Story Behind Strawberry Sage​(24:49 - 28:44) Flights, Best Sellers, 10-Year Milestones, and What Customers Love Most​(28:45 - 34:45) Daily Habits, Website Resources, Mat Facts, and Future Book Ideas​(34:46 - 42:30) Rapid Fire, Favorite Ingredients, Markets, Events, and Delo's Close​

Episode Summary In this Brand Retro Vault Series ("Lost Episode"), Mike Brevik sits down with Steph Silver, founder of VINE Collective, to explore one of the most misunderstood aspects of branding: the experience behind the brand. Steph shares how her unconventional journey, from theater and storytelling to marketing and leadership coaching, shaped her belief that a brand is not just what customers see on the outside, but what happens behind the scenes inside the organization. From how employees are treated to how decisions are made during difficult seasons, every internal choice ultimately shapes the customer experience. Throughout the conversation, Mike and Steph unpack the deeper layers of branding, including the importance of culture alignment, customer empathy, and empowering teams to carry the brand forward. They also discuss why the most successful brands are often built not through rigid control, but through shared passion and purpose that flows through the entire organization. This episode offers a thoughtful reminder that branding is not just about logos, colors, or marketing campaigns, it is about the experience people have with your business, from the inside out.

In this episode, Who What Wear Shopping Director Bobby Schuessler sits down with jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher to look back on her career 20 years after she started her namesake brand. Over the last two decades, Fisher was named a finalist for the 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, was crowned the "queen of hoops" by The New York Times, and has counted celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber among her clientele. She's also sharing the ways she's expanding her empire—from new retail locations to her cookbook, Trust Your Gut, to her lifestyle brand, Maedyn.
