Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Presley Pfereka, a crew member for Azamara luxury cruise line. I have long observed with awe and fascination cruise ship crew from the Captain to entry-level crew members and have hosted on The Joy of Cruising Podcast a cross-section of ship crew, both former as well as active over the past years. I would love to delve into their lives in an in-depth manner both on the home front as well as at sea. I have often noted that if I had the resources this is a book project I would love to pursue. While I can't begin to do justice to that in an hour or so podcast episode, my discussion with Presley affords us a brief, unique look at ship life through her eyes. The variety of crew, staff, officers, and guest performers who have guested on the podcast range from childcare associates to maitre d' to Captains, acrobats, magicians, to guest singers and comedians from all over the world. Presley is my first guest from Zimbabwe, in the Southeastern part of Africa. I first found out about Presley by way of an article I read in Conde Nast Traveler, “What It's Like to Be a Waitress on a Cruise Ship,” by Ashlea Halpern. Presley is a 37-year young lady from Easten Zimbabwe, Manicaland Province. She finished high school and started working at a young age as an organizing secretary for a non-governmental organization). This was after her parents passed on. Presley has two daughters aged 17 and 6. She moved to South Africa in search of greener pastures and worked a variety of jobs. In 2012 Presley met a fellow Zimbabwean who introduced her to Open Distance Learning with the University of South Africa. She enrolled with the University and attained a Higher Certificate in Business Management and then Registered for Bachelor of Commerce In Business Management which she is still pursuing. After coming across an advertisement on LinkedIn regarding cruise ship job interviews to take place in Cape Town in 2023, Presley applied as it was her wish to travel and work on cruise ships. This led to her being hired by Azamara January 2024 as Assistant Waitress. In November 2024 she got promoted to Administration as a Payroll Purser.Find Presley online YouTube: presleypfereka3174TikTok: @Presley PeeInstagram:  presley_pee87Facebook: Presley PeeEmail:  pee.pfereka@gmail.comSupport the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

February 23, 2005. New York City's culinary elite gather at Gotham Hall. Tuxedoed waiters pass around champagne flutes and decadent hors d'oeuvres, as famous chefs like Eric Ripert and Anthony Bourdain pose for photos and gossip with their peers before the night's main event: an announcement that could change their lives and the fate of America's dining scene. Édouard Michelin takes the stage. His company, Michelin, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of tires, but they also produce a restaurant guide that has dictated the fortunes of European restaurants for over 100 years. Now, the Michelin Guide, and its coveted stars, will be coming to America. When Michelin descends on New York City, which restaurants win? Which lose? And how does the battle itself transform American food culture? Special thanks to Peter Esmond, the former general manager of Per Se and current sales leader at DoorDash; Eric Ripert, chef of Le Bernardin in New York City; and Kathleen Squires, a food and travel writer whose work appears in the Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler and more.

Benefits of a summer romance: It's always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken. Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn't worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

About The Joy of Funerals: From the very first page, readers are drawn into the strange, often humorous world where nine women grapple with sex, power, love, and death. Meet a widow who lusts…a daughter who aches…a lover who obsesses…a shopaholic who hungers… a daredevil who desires…a single woman who longs…an outsider who hopes…an artist who craves…and a funeral-junkie who needs. These are the women who inhabit the eerily honest, often heartbreaking world Alix Strauss has created in The Joy of Funerals. Throughout this powerful and provocative collection, these characters explore the basic need for human connection while seeking to understand themselves better. It is the ‘where do I belong' and the ‘how do I fit in' that these sad, bright and amazingly strong women seek to answer. In “Recovering Larry,” a woman mourns for her dead husband by having sex with grieving men. In “Shrinking Away,” a woman pays a daring shiva call on her psychiatrist's widow. “Swimming Without Annette” explores a woman's obsession with her wife's killer, while “Still Life” peers into the life of a pregnant artist who wishes to paint herself out of a bad marriage and into a prettier world. In “Post-Dated,” a single woman wonders if her recently defunct date was perhaps the perfect man. Read independently, these vivid and raw stories stand on their own. When read as a collection, they are anchored together by the novella, “The Joy of Funerals,” which follows the life of Nina, a lonely, single thirty-something woman who attends the funerals of the deceased characters in the previous stories. Begun as an essay in the Lives column of The New York Times magazine, The Joy of Funerals is written with raw wit, mordant humor and a uniquely penetrating voice as Strauss turns the spotlight on the unattractive subjects of loss, grief and loneliness.

Here's the big question… is a Tattoo the Best Souvenir You Can Bring Home from A Vacation? Jetsetters are opting for a more permanent token from their trips: they're getting inked, as “tat tourism” is on the rise. Data from Hostel World found that more than 40% of adult vacationers under the age of 35 got a tattoo while traveling — half of whom revealed they went abroad just to get some ink. California tattoo artist Rose Hardy previously told Conde Nast Traveler that around 70% of her clientele travel from other cities or even countries to get inked by her, while Oaxaca, Mexico, artist Dr. Lakra said half of his clients travel from abroad. we also had a chat with Daniel Pinto who on a INSANE journey to visit EVERY country on earth (135+/197) make video to hopefully motivate and inspire you to get out there and see the world and get a tattoo while you are at itSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federico Giuliani"Santi e bevitori"Lawrence OsborneUn viaggio alcolico in terre astemieTraduzione di Maria Grazia GiniEdizioni Adelphiwww.adelphi.itPer curare l'alcolismo c'è chi si fa ricovera­re in una struttura specializzata, chi si affida a una terapia farmacologica, chi anco­ra pratica una ferrea astinenza. Lawrence Osborne ha una ricetta più originale: in­traprendere un viaggio nel mondo islamico per studiare come vivono gli astemi e scoprire se da loro si può imparare qual­cosa. L'esperienza sarà illuminante, teme­raria e – per la gioia di noi lettori – sempre irresistibilmente spassosa. Accompagneremo Osborne a caccia di una birra a Sura­ karta, presidio indonesiano di al-­Qaida, dove, sotto un ritratto di Osama bin Laden, un gruppo di studenti biancovestiti cer­cherà di convincerlo che l'alcol è «una ma­lattia dell'anima». A Mascate lo seguire­mo nell'affannosa ricerca di una bottiglia di champagne per brindare al nuovo an­no, mentre la sua vita di coppia sperimen­ta impreviste dinamiche dettate dalla so­brietà forzata. E trepideremo per lui a Isla­mabad, quando si lancerà nella sconside­rata «avventura culturale» di ubriacarsi «in uno dei paesi più pericolosi e ostili al­l'alcol» della terra. Ma, davanti a un bic­chiere, tutto il mondo è incline al parados­so: prova ne sono le cosiddette dry towns del New Jersey o certi sobborghi inglesi, do­ve fino a pochi decenni fa la «cultura subur­bana dell'alcol» era l'antidoto alla «cultura urbana della droga». E al termine di questo rocambolesco tour ci apparirà lampante che lo scontro di civiltà tra Oriente e Occi­dente altro non è che il riflesso di due ap­procci diametralmente opposti alla vita – temperanza e sregolatezza, continenza e dissolutezza, con i loro paladini, astemi e bevitori, per sempre affiancati «in uno spi­rito di reciproca incomprensione».Lawrence Osborne è nato in Inghilterra e ha studiato lingue moderne a Cambridge e Harvard. Ha vissuto a Parigi per dieci anni dove ha scritto il suo primo romanzo Ania Malina e successivamente il diario di viaggi Paris Dreambook.Si è poi spostato a New York dove vive dal 1992 alternando l'attività nella Grande Mela con lunghi soggiorni nel lontano Oriente.Ha scritto per il New York Times, Salon, New Yorker, Financial Times, New York Observer, New York Magazine, Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, Gourmet e Men's Vogue.Oltre ad Ania Malina e Paris Dreambook, ha scritto la collezione di saggi The Poisoned Embrace (1993) e un controverso libro sull'autismo intitolato American Normal (2002).In Italia ha pubblicato per Adelphi Il turista nudo (2006), Shangri-la (2008), Bangkok (2009) e Nella polvere (2021).Federico GiulianiCome vivono gli astemi?Santi e bevitori: l'ultimo viaggio letterario di Lawrence Osborne attorno ai “piaceri del bere”https://mowmag.com/culture/come-vivono-gli-astemi-santi-e-bevitori-l-ultimo-viaggio-letterario-di-lawrence-osborne-attorno-ai-piaceri-del-bereIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Thomas is joined once again by New York Times bestselling author and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, Elise Loehnen. They discuss the important work of reconnecting to our bodies, learning to fully embody our emotions—including anger—and what it takes to create safe spaces for difficult emotions to emerge and become integrated. Elise shares personal insights about grounding and releasing anger, and the powerful healing potential of setting honest boundaries. She and Thomas explore how increasing our inner resourcing and individual capacity for discomfort can help us detoxify wounds inherited from previous generations, bring us closer to nature, and collectively reduce polarization in society. ✨ Join Thomas and couples therapy expert Terry Real for a free, LIVE event: Daring to Embrace Intimacy in a Fractured World On July 18, Thomas and Terry will come together to explore how trauma in our world creates a pressure cooker for our day-to-day relationships, and share tools and practices to help you shift from conflict to connection to heal your relationships—with yourself, your partner, and the world at large.

Although Charleston, SC, has changed a lot, it is still one of the cities in the US with a decidedly European feel. Many parts of it are very walkable, there are cobblestone alleyways and al fresco dining, and lingering over a meal is absolutely encouraged. One of the best places to linger this time of year -- or anytime really -- is Malagón Mercado y Tapería. Juan Cassalett is the executive chef and co-owner, and although he grew up in Tennessee and Colombia in South America, his family is originally from Spain. Malagón is a slice of Spain in the Holy City. There's jamon hanging from the rafters, a Spanish wine list and a mercado filled with Spanish groceries, but the Lowcountry shines through too in the seasonal dishes created with local ingredients. The restaurant has been featured in multiple publications, including Forbes, Charleston Magazine, and Conde Nast Traveler. Juan is married to Jill Mathias, executive chef/co-owner of Chez Nous, where he was the sous chef for 5 years.   Other episodes that are related to this one: Jill Mathias, Chez Nous (Charleston, SC)

Do you ever feel like you have to be perfect? The perfect mother, daughter, employee, partner, etc?It's a familiar struggle that I have grappled with in my own life, and as a therapist, I've witnessed this innate desire to be perfect from thousands of women. That's how I first came across Elise Loehnen's bestselling book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.  It is such an intriguing read and I am thrilled to have her on the Cracking Open podcast today.Elise is not only a New York Times bestselling author, but also the host of the podcast Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about life's big questions. In our conversation, we talk through some of our own big questions like how she got the idea for her book after speaking with the celebrity therapist Lori Gottlieb on the Goop podcast. Ms. Gottlieb told her - pay attention to envy, it can show you what you want. Gottlieb's insight into using envy as a revealing emotion inspired Elise to explore the other six "deadly sins" —lust, anger, greed, gluttony, sloth, and pride—and their impact on women's lives. Not only did this exploration deeply influence millions of women's lives but her own as well."I'm the primary breadwinner. I've killed myself to succeed in life and be a good mother, partner, citizen, employee, and boss. And, you know, I was breathless, exhausted, and recognized that I was running a race with no finish line, that I was competing against a standard that I had not created and that would never give me any rewards that would mean anything to me." ~ Elise LoehnenBoy oh boy, can I relate! Maybe you can too?Join us as we delve into a wide range of topics, such as the Enneagram personality type system, Elise's affinity with spiritual figures such as Mary Magdalene (and how I feel that Elise is our modern-day Joan of Arc!). Elise was previously the chief content officer of the famous lifestyle brand goop. While there, she co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix, and led the brand's content strategy and programming, including launching a magazine with Condé Nast and a book imprint. Before goop, she held roles as the editorial projects director of Conde Nast Traveler and editor at large and deputy editor of Lucky Magazine, where she also served as the on-air spokesperson, appearing regularly on shows like Today, E!, Good Morning America, and The Early Show. Elise is highly accomplished in her career and a staunch advocate for women's self-acceptance. She emphasizes that it's not about striving for perfection but rather about becoming aware of how cultural programming and ancient ideas of morality, such as the seven deadly sins, continue to control and distort women's lives today. Elise believes that trusting in our natural instincts can lead us back to a more balanced, peaceful, and spiritually fulfilling way of living.My conversation with Elise was a breath of fresh air. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Love,MollyLearn more about Elise Loehnen hereJoin Elise's Substack herePurchase On Our Best Behavior hereListen to Pulling the Thread podcast hereFollow Elise on Instagram

I was doing my scroll of all of my favorite magazine's sites when I saw a headline on Vanity Fair that read “Elise Loehnen Would Like Mothers to Give Themselves a Break.” Now, look, I'm not even a mother, and even I get how much mothers giving themselves a break is necessary. I have so many friends that are moms, and even beyond mothers, just for women, in general, that pervasive guilt always seems to be so present—that we're never doing enough, or, perhaps even more catastrophically, that we ourselves aren't enough. That's why I wanted to release today's episode on the Friday before Mother's Day specifically—Elise is my guest on the show today, and her message is one all mothers and all women need to hear, and her book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, is one all mothers and all women need to read. This isn't just a book—it's a masterclass, a manifesto, a book of a generation. Truly. On Our Best Behavior has one of the best frameworks I've ever seen for a book, one that uses the Seven Deadly Sins—ancient ideas of morality that still control and distort women's lives today—to reveal how these are rules we unwittingly follow in order to be considered “good,” and how we equate self-denial with being good. These unselfish, often distinctly feminine instincts are ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits of it. The Seven Deadly Sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth have exerted insidious power and have done so since their adoption in the fourth century up to the present day. Elise's book is at the same time very modern, tying everything to the present day, but also steeped in history—and, thankfully, it teaches us how to break free from the chains that bind us. The book is a New York Times bestseller and has been since its release in May 2023, a groundbreaking work that every woman and, really, every person needs to read. By the way, Elise taught me that the seven deadly sins were actually once eight sins. I really can't tell you how much this book impacted me, and how excited I am for you to read this book and hear this conversation. Closing out this incredible week on the show, we have Elise Loehnen herself, who is not just the writer of On Our Best Behavior but is also the host of the podcast “Pulling the Thread” and the Substack newsletter of the same name. Elise went to Yale and, interestingly, was a national championship mathlete finalist, which I deeply appreciate made the cut of her bio. She was a deputy editor at Lucky magazine (which we've talked about on the show before, in our episode with Jean Godfrey June), was editorial projects director at Conde Nast Traveler, and was chief content officer of Goop—where she hosted the Goop podcast and the Goop Lab series on Netflix and oversaw Goop magazine. She actually left Goop in 2020 to focus on this book. This is actually not Elise's first book, not by a long shot—she has worked as a ghostwriter on a ton of books in the areas of self-help, style, and business, and has worked with Ellen DeGeneres and Lea Michelle, for example. She's co-written 12 books, and five of those were New York Times bestsellers, which is incredible. On Our Best Behavior is her first book written under her own name and not ghostwritten. Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah and has written for The New York Times, Elle Décor, Stylist, and more. She is a wife and a mother of two sons, and they live in L.A. I can't wait for you to meet her in this conversation.

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley and Kim Sorrelle of The Love Is Podcast interview Joe Yogerst. During three decades as an editor, writer, photographer and speaker, Joe Yogerst has lived and worked in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. His writing has appeared in Conde Nast Traveler, CNN Travel, BBC Travel, Outside and Islands magazines, the International Herald Tribune in Paris, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Examiner, and more than 40 National Geographic books including the best-selling "50 States, 5000 Ideas" series. His latest National Geographic books — on global cities and North America's best trails — will drop in late 2022/early 2023. Joe wrote and hosted a National Geographic/Great Courses video series on America's state parks. He also writes historical fiction. "Nemesis" — a murder mystery set in 1880s California — was published in 2018. Joe has earned six Lowell Thomas Awards from the Society of American Travel Writers and is currently working on a book about American and Canadian food.

Thomas is joined by the author of the New York Times bestseller, On Our Best Behavior, and the host of the podcast “Pulling the Thread”, Elise Loehnen. They discuss what she calls the ‘cultural shadow' of women - the ideas and behaviors that women have been socialized and conditioned to reject - and how women can embrace their complicated totality instead of repressing their authentic selves. Elise's recent book examines women's social conditioning through the lens of the “seven deadly sins”. She and Thomas explore the trap of “goodness” for women and how the standards imposed on them lead to harmful repression, inequality, and resentment. Elise stresses that people of all genders are harmed by unfair standards that are propagated through social power structures, and posits that we can free ourselves from these constricting gender roles by reframing our thinking and integrating our shadows instead of projecting them onto others. ✨  Join Thomas for a free, live online event with Q&A - The Evolving Map for Trauma Healing

After gaining 10+ years of experience as a Director of Marketing helping build multiple 6 & 7-figure businesses for other women I've created the Chaos Control System to equip moms to overcome their own objections so they can live the life they want to live and start that business they have always wanted. The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home. For new biz owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other business platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-tos

In this episode, New York Times bestselling author Elise Loehnen discusses her book On Our Best Behavior, which is about the seven deadly sins and their impact on women's lives and roles in society. She also shares how women are often conditioned to disconnect from their bodies and emotions due to societal and cultural pressures and how health coaches can help them reconnect with their desires, boundaries, and suppressed feelings.   In this episode, we talk about: The inspiration behind Elise's book On Our Best Behavior  How writing the book helped Elise with her personal transformation and how it impacted her well-being and relationships The need for collective work to recognize unhealthy language and behaviors toward women Elise's journey toward self-definition away from cultural and social expectations How can people reconcile their faith with the empowerment and reevaluation of women's roles in society The role of health coaches in helping women reconnect with their desires, suppressed feelings, etc The concept of envy and how it is reframed in a positive way in the book Memorable Quotes “It's really difficult to liberate yourself from these ideas of what it is to be a good woman and stand alone, because you'll be vilified and continually sort of painted as a bad person.” “If patriarchy were so natural, we wouldn't chafe against it.” “We women, through trauma, self-hate, etc., are generally totally disembodied... So the most loving thing a health coach can do is to get women re-embodied and re-in touch with our appetites, our desires, our boundaries, our suppressed and repressed emotions.”   BIO:  Elise Loehnen is a New York Times bestselling author and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about the big questions of today, including people like Jo Harjo, Loretta Ross, Pico Iyer, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Terry Real.

I have with me the remarkable Kaitlin Menza, another contemporary of mine who has just done so much, it's baffling. Kaitlin is another journalist whose byline has literally been everywhere you can think of: The Cut. InStyle. Conde Nast Traveler. Elle. Town & Country. Vogue. Marie Claire. Esquire. Business of Home. Rolling Stone. The Hollywood Reporter. Architectural Digest. Cosmopolitan. The New York Times. The Guardian. Time. Vanity Fair. Popular Mechanics. Have to say, I wasn't expecting that last one, but it's true! Kaitlin prides herself on sharing the stories of women, whether it's celebrities you've heard of like Paris Hilton, or women sharing personal stories about life events they've been through, like the plaintiff in the largest-ever revenge porn case or a mom who was addicted to opiates. She's spoken to politicians, like the youngest Black woman to serve in Congress, Lauren Underwood. Her stories are famously heavy hitting, like how the number of women in prison is up 1,260 percent in a generation. Now a freelance writer, Kaitlin has also edited for T: The New York Times Style Magazine, House Beautiful, Refinery29, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Business of Home, and Publisher's Weekly, and she has been on staff at Teen Vogue, Glamour, and Seventeen, and while at the latter, wrote the first American cover stories featuring Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, and Harry Styles. Again—just an absolute dynamo. She has multiple columns now that she writes—“How I Travel” and “How We Pulled It Off” for Conde Nast Traveler, a column at Business of Home, as well as writing extensively about weddings for New York Magazine's The Cut, which you know I am wildly obsessed with. Speaking of obsessed, Kaitlin was one of the first royal family podcasters—of which I am now one—and was one of the two original hosts of the hit show Royally Obsessed, which led to television appearances on Good Morning America, 20/20, and MSNBC, as well as in Argentina, the Philippines, Canada, and the U.K. After 13 years in New York City, Kaitlin relocated to Taipei, Taiwan in 2022, and we talk about that experience on the show, including how she manages doing business in New York City from all the way across the globe, while also being a new mom. This is actually a level of Superwoman that I didn't know existed. How Kaitlin is able to get it all done, and done so well, is really, truly incredible. I can't wait for you to get to know her.   Kaitlin Menza's portfolio “How I Travel” for Conde Nast Traveler “How We Pulled It Off” for Conde Nast Traveler “Shop Talk” for Business of Home “The Wedding Files” for New York Magazine's The Cut   + it's leave you with four today!

How often is it that you write an essay so oft-quoted and ubiquitous that you define an entire generation by a single color? Today's guest, Veronique Hyland, did just that, but what could perhaps be called her signature piece isn't all that she has to offer—and not even close. She is fashion features director at Elle and is also the author of the fantastic 2022 book Dress Code: Unlocking Fashion from the New Look to Millennial Pink. Dress Code is an essay collection centered around the fashion industry, from its history to its importance, why we wear what we wear, and why it matters. The book covers whether gender differentiated fashion will go out of style forever, the appeal of the “French girl” aesthetic, how social media has warped our sense of self-presentation, and so many more thoughtful and interesting takes and perspectives. In addition to her work with Elle and her book, Veronique has also written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, Conde Nast Traveler, W, New York Magazine, and Harper's Bazaar, and she was an absolute delight to speak to.   By Véronique Hyland: “Why Is Millennial Pink Suddenly So Popular?” Work with Elle Dress Code: Unlocking Fashion from the New Look to Millennial Pink “Jennifer Lopez Is Standing in Her Power” “Mariah Carey Is Here to Un-Cancel Christmas” “Dolly Parton May Look Artificial, But She's Totally Real” Véronique also recommends the work of Kennedy Frazer, Holly Brubach, Anne Hollander, Annie Dillard, and Jenny Odell   + three more incredible books for you to add to your shelf via my recommendation!

When InStyle's cover for “The Confidence Issue” came out, I tore through Mattie Kahn's cover profile on Sharon Stone. Listeners, this is a fantastic article, but when it comes to Mattie Kahn's writing, that's just what one comes to expect when it comes to her. Mattie is one of the most published writers today, and after working full-time at outlets like Elle and Glamour, she's now a full-time freelance writer and has written for literally every publication you can dream of: Vogue, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, Time, The Atlantic, Town & Country, New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Seventeen, I could go on and on. Today Mattie and I talk about the secrets to a good celebrity interview, what she wishes she knew before going freelance, how telling stories of powerful women and girls is a running theme throughout her work, and about her first book, Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America's Revolutions, which came out in June 2023. The book is about teenage girls involved in activist work and, as the book description reads, is “the untold story of the people who have helped spark America's most transformative social movements throughout history: teenage girls.” Mattie is a Harvard graduate and, in addition to all of the publications she writes for and her book, she also has a Substack called “Things I Ask My Mother.” Mattie Kahn is very deservedly one of my Women in Power.   By Mattie Kahn: Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America's Revolutions “Sharon Stone Has Found Her Limit” for InStyle “Things I Ask My Mother” Substack   + another day of extra picks by female authors!

Continuing our Women in Power series for Women's History Month, today I'm bringing you the absolutely fabulous Danielle Pergament, whose work as a contributing editor at Allure, as well as with The New York Times, Goop, Conde Nast Traveler, Women's Wear Daily, and my new obsession, Air Mail, have been some of the best celebrity profiles and travel writing you'll read. Here is but a sampling of the A-list women Danielle has interviewed and profiled: every Jennifer possible, first of all—Jennifer Lopez! Jennifer Garner! Jennifer Aniston!—Victoria Beckham, Charlize Theron, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys, Sharon Stone, Hillary Duff. I could go on and on. Halsey said, when being interviewed by Danielle, “This wasn't an interview. This was a therapy session.” There is something very disarming and comfortable about Danielle, particularly her unbelievable ability to self-deprecate, which is a quality I absolutely love in people. As someone who has interviewed celebrities myself, though nowhere near as many or as well as Danielle has done it, I have to tell you that it is a art form, especially when you get to the A-listers among A-listers like Jennifer Aniston or Kim Kardashian, people who have been interviewed a bazillion times. It is difficult to get nuggets out of them that haven't been told before—but Danielle can do it. Wait until she tells you how she was able to help Jennifer Aniston feel comfortable enough to open up about not having children, or with Charlize Theron, where she talked about aging in Hollywood. Danielle is a master at the celebrity profile; she is also a gifted travel writer and beauty writer. In the past, Danielle has served as Allure's executive editor and editor at large, as well as editor-in-chief at Goop, and she has also been published at Marie Claire, which you know I have to shout out every time a guest has worked for my wonderful employer. I knew I appreciated Danielle as a writer; after this time with her, I couldn't get enough of her as a person.   “Jennifer Aniston Has Nothing to Hide”   “Victoria Beckham Is in Control”   “The Griselda Creator's Miami”   “The History of the Bob Haircut and Why It's Trending Now”   “Charlize Theron Didn't Get a Facelift, Thanks for Asking”   “Jennifer Garner: I'm Not Good at Being Fake”   My absolute obsession Air Mail, where Danielle writes frequently

Lee's work has also appeared in The New Yorker, NPR's Selected Shorts, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, Conde Nast Traveler, The Times of London, and The Wall Street Journal.

But prior to joining the cruise industry, Sachs graced the masthead of several magazines, from his first gig as a fact-checker for Conde Nast Traveler to his time at GQ and as Editor-in-Chief of Saveur, a food-focused entertainment and culinary travel magazine. Through his written work, he aims to celebrate the culture of the places he's visited — and the people he's met — through the lens of what's on a plate. In this episode of Humans of Travel, the three-time James Beard award-winning writer reflects on his early career as a foodie journalist and some of the most meaningful stories he's written, from an around-the-world trip on a single airline ticket to a New Zealand escapade planned completely by the Kiwis he met along the way.
