From a hyper-vigilant engineering career built on survival to a life anchored in pure, unadulterated joy—discover how one woman broke through a lifetime of shame to reclaim her authentic voice.Retired engineer turned author, Lena Fein spent decades outrunning a childhood shaped by relentless maternal criticism and hidden shame. She became a high achiever, a communicator, a marketing pro — all from her head, never her heart. It wasn't until her mother's death at 51 that Lena began a radical journey inward. Now at 68, she's reclaimed her voice, her joy, and her story — and published it in her memoir "Shattering the Mirror." Brigitte Cutshall and Lena dig into generational wounds, the courage it takes to face trauma, and why it's never too late to come home to yourself.Key Takeaways:(1) Healing requires facing the trauma. (2) It is never too late to reclaim yourself.(3) Embody kindness and presence.You can find Lena Fein's book, Shattering the Mirror, on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, and Audible) as well as Book Baby.

Send us Fan MailA $5,000 lunch. A 30-year promise. A frozen walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to make the new year feel real. R. Scott Edwards sits down with comedian Mark Schiff for a warm, hilarious time-capsule of stand-up comedy history that starts in New York at The Comic Strip and stretches all the way to arena-sized shows with Jerry Seinfeld. If you love comedy stories that actually explain how this business works, you're going to get a ton out of Mark's memories and the hard-earned lessons underneath them.We talk about the crew Mark called “the funniest men in the universe” and the New Year's Day breakfast tradition that kept friendships alive through careers, travel, and chaos, including one year that turns into an international adventure. Then the tone shifts to something more personal: Mark shares how he quit drinking during a booked week at Laughs Unlimited in Old Sacramento, and we dig into that strange truth every working comic knows, the stage adrenaline that can carry you through sickness, stress, and doubt when the audience is waiting.From there it's pure “life on the road” gold: comedy condo disasters, long-distance phone scandals from the pre-cellphone era, and prank stories from touring. We also get a behind-the-scenes moment from the Seinfeld tour when Jerry gets food poisoning before a packed theater and Mark is told to go out and keep the show alive. Plus, you'll hear a full Mark Schiff stand-up set with sharp bits on 99 cent stores, Costco, parenting grown kids, and marriage.If you enjoy the show, subscribe, share it with a comedy fan, and leave a review so more people can find it.

TVC 735.4: Ed welcomes Emmy Award-winning producer Charles Floyd Johnson (The Rockford Files, Magnum, p.i., Quantum Leap, JAG, NCIS, Red Tails, John Lewis: Get in the Way). Charles is also one of the six authors whose work is featured in A Gathering of Voices: The Longwood Writers Workshop, an anthology of vibrant, introspective, lyrical, and personal stories that provide a full, rich, and multidimensional look at life in Black America in the 20th and 21st century. All of the stories told in A Gathering of Voices resonate with memories of struggles waged, battles won and lost, and experiences that illuminate the collective wisdom learned by each author and their hard-won resilience. A Gathering of Voices is available through BookBaby.com, Amazon.com, and LongwoodWritersWorkshop.com. In this segment, Charles talks to Ed about the formation of the Longwood Writers Workshop, and how that eventually led to the publication of A Gathering of Voices. He also discusses some of his mentors in television (including Roy Huggins, Stephen J. Cannell, and Don Bellisario), and how his experience contributing stories for Rockford and Magnum early in his career reflected his longtime desire to become part of the "creative" side of television writing and production.

TVC 735.5: Emmy Award-winning producer Charles Floyd Johnson talks to Ed about his successful battle against cancer in 2020, and how his journey, in many ways, makes him a "poster child" for early detection. He also discusses the importance of learning how to allow himself to become vulnerable on the page when writing about other difficult moments in his life (which he does in each of the six stories that he wrote for A Gathering of Voices). A Gathering of Voices: The Longwood Writers Workshop is available through BookBaby.com, Amazon.com, and LongwoodWritersWorkshop.com.

Cannell remains a seminal influence in his life.

Top Story: Launch emails that convert https://blog.bookbaby.com/how-to-promote-your-book/book-promotion/high-converting-author-newsletter-examples If you think you're bad at email newsletters, you're not alone, says BookBaby. Many don't seem to know what to say, or when to say it, which often leads to not sending at all, even when they're launching a new book. "Before we get into the examples, it's worth knowing why these [book launch] newsletters convert," says BookBaby. "No matter your genre, [effective book launch] newsletters have five things in common." The first is a reason to open the email; that means a strong, relevant subject line. Once opened, it answers the reader's question of "What's in it for me?" It should help them, give them a sneak peek, or give them something useful. Next, be authentic. Write like an author, not a marketer. "You create deeper connections with your readers by wrapping their hopes, pain, and questions into the narrative and share how your book fits in." Then, give them just the relevant links to your upcoming launch or pre-order, plus maybe a timely link to your most popular series or seasonal promotion they can buy now. The last thing these successful launch emails have is timing; An email newsletter is perfect for teasing your upcoming launch, but don't forget that additional emails are good on launch day, not to mention follow-up emails with bonuses or reminders. Not everyone clicks (or even sees) your first email. BookBaby's simplest example doesn't overthink things. "The subject line can be as simple as 'Preorders open,' while the email body includes a brief story about why you wrote the book. Highlight the benefit to the reader and include the preorder link." If you're featuring limited time bonuses for early buyers or pre-orders, add that, too. Finally, a call-to-action (CTA) suggests that they "Preorder now in your preferred format." Because it's an email, you can includes a P.S., too, with a last-minute reason to purchase, like telling them why they'll enjoy your novel, or fixing a pain point for non-fiction. "This speaks directly to your reader while giving them a simple path to purchase."    Trixie Silvertale is here! https://trixiesilvertale.com/

TVC 714.4: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Louise Sorel (Days of Our Lives, Santa Barbara). Louise's new book, If There Were No Dogs: Musings and Mutterings, is a collection of prose pieces and poems drawn from her life, childhood, and career that reveals how Louise navigated a sometimes difficult childhood with emotionally distant parents by discovering the theatre at a young age and through her lifelong love of animals. Topics this segment include the surreal, almost sitcom-like way in which she first met Dame Judith Anderson, one of her co-stars on Santa Barbara (and an accomplished stage actress who was one of Louise's idols long before Santa Barbara); how the works of Shakespeare become easier to understand once you realize that The Bard wrote in language that actors could perform; plus Louise shares a few memories of her marriage to actor Herb Edelman. If There Were No Dogs is available wherever books are sold online through Book Baby and Amazon.com.

TVC 713.5: Louise Sorel (Days of Our Lives, Santa Barbara) talks to Ed about why she enjoys writing about some of the many canine companions she has had in her life, including a poem that she once wrote from the point of view of her dog Jiggs.

TVC 713.5: Ed welcomes back actress and author Louise Sorel (Days of Our Lives, Santa Barbara). Louise's new book, If There Were No Dogs: Musings and Mutterings, is a collection of prose pieces and poems drawn from her life, childhood, and career that not only shares memories of her working with Art Carney, Charles Boyer, George C. Scott, Walter Pidgeon, Rita Moreno, Dame Judith Anderson, Don Rickles, and many others, but reveals how Louise navigated a sometimes difficult childhood with emotionally distant parents by discovering the theatre at a young age and through her lifelong love of animals. Topics this segment include the unlikely assist that Louise received from her father, film producer Albert Cohen, shortly after she had moved to New York at age twenty to study acting at the venerable Neighborhood Playhouse. If There Were No Dogs is available wherever books are sold online through Book Baby and Amazon.com. Louise Sorel is scheduled to appear at United Solo, the world's largest solo theatre festival, in New York City on Saturday, Nov. 15 beginning at 2pm.

Many Korean women face both institutional barriers and everyday cultural expectations. Life often feels mapped out in advance, and those who deviate from that path meet resistance or worse. Meanwhile, the media tends to celebrate only the rich and famous, making it harder to see the everyday heroes and role models who truly reflect women's lives in Korea. In this episode, I'm joined by Minyoung Kim, Victoria Yi, Sarah Soeun Lee, and Sangeun Kim — a team of writers behind a recently published bilingual book that shares real stories of women's experiences in Korea: their challenges, frustrations, families, dreams, and triumphs. Together, we talk about what it means to live honestly in a society that often prefers silence. Apologies for the sound issues in this one. It was a new set-up and mistakes were made. Hopefully you can still find value in the courage and ideas of the four women. Book Links

What would happen if you started showing up like you — exactly as you are — were already enough?In this episode of Empowering Her, I'm getting real about something I call “fix-it culture.” It's the sneaky belief that we (or the people we love) are broken and need repairing before we can live our fullest lives. Spoiler alert: it's an illusion — and it's exhausting.This conversation was sparked by a private coaching session where I kept hearing the phrase “fix it.” It got me thinking about how deeply this mindset is baked into our self-talk, parenting, and even our work as mentors and coaches. So today, we're breaking it down and reframing it completely.Here's what we explore:The illusion of brokenness and how society trains us to believe we're incompleteWhy wholeness is our birthright — we are born with nothing missing and nothing wrongSwapping “fix it” language for “evolve” — the powerful shift from lack to growthA reflection on Coldplay's Fix You and why love isn't about repairThe truth that we can't “fix” anyone — not our kids, not our clients, not our friendsHow parents, coaches, and girls' empowerment leaders can hold space without trying to solve or repairThe impact of modeling self-love and personal evolution instead of perfectionReframe questions to try this week for yourself and the people you leadAnd… I share a little teaser about Book Baby #3, coming out next week! This one is for children and the grown-ups who love them — a beautiful tool for connection you can share with the kids in your life.Let's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!
