This week, we're joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time.We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don't want to experience

“How Does Baptism save us?” This question opens a discussion on the Biblical evidence supporting baptism’s role in salvation. Other topics include the Catholic Church’s stance on full immersion baptisms, the significance of being marked with a seal in Ephesians 1:13, and the validity of baptisms performed in Protestant churches. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:30 – What’s the Biblical Evidence That Baptism Saves Us? 11:42 – Why does the Catholic Church not employ full immersion Baptisms? 15:14 – I'm a recent convert. Ephesians 1:13 having belief in him you were marked with a Seal, how is that different from being baptized? 20:41 – Would the Church accept a baptism that was administered in Protestant Church, if the protestant minister preached that baptism was just a symbol? 29:45 – Orthodox teach full immersion baptism, why doesn't Roman rite do full immersion? 35:54 – How does baptism assist us in avoiding sin? 47:20 – In an emergency baptism how would the church validate it? 50:00 – People who return want to be re-baptized. Is it a misplaced desire?

What if trauma isn't just about what happened to you—but what your body learned about safety in relationships? If you've ever wondered why it's hard to feel safe in relationships… this episode will help you understand why—and where healing begins.

Hi! Carmel Valley schools are operating on a half-day schedule all week, and we're in the middle of an extreme heat wave, so it feels like a mini spring break before real spring break is upon us in April. I know a lot of your kids have spring break this month (my friend Mary Pell is visiting from North Carolina right now for her daughter's spring break!), so today we're sharing a few spring break-related things, should it be on your radar right now, too.Whether or not you're in a spring break time of life: spring as a season will be official on Friday! To celebrate, Saturday's new recipe includes my favorite spring vegetable, asparagus, but in the meantime, we wanted to share our team's personal favorite super-springy recipes from the archives to welcome the new season. And lest you forget: there's a whole “spring” section in the What to Cook recipe index — along with many, many more categories based on cook time, protein, and mood. If you're ever needing inspiration for dinner, let the index be your guide. Also worth noting if you're a Substack app user: we are VERY happy to report that the WTC index is pinned again under “posts” when you're on the WTC homepage within the app. The pinned posts went missing for a few weeks but they're back, baby!Caro's: sheet-pan spring salmonThis is perhaps the springiest weeknight dinner recipe I've ever written. Dilly sauce, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and salmon with lots of lemon… it's so fresh and delicious. It's also both gluten- and dairy-free as written and is delicious served either right out of the oven or at room temp, so you could cook the entire meal ahead of time, let it cool, and store it covered in the fridge. Bring it out 30-ish minutes before dinner to let it come to room temperature, then dig in! It's a total crowd pleaser. There's an even simpler version of this meal — it omits the potatoes — in WTC the book on page 40! Jillian's: crispy artichoke and chicken saladArtichokes are one of my favorite spring vegetables! This is a good-all-week salad that combines roasted marinated artichokes with chicken that you marinate in the artichoke brine, a can of white beans, kale, homemade croutons, and the most addicting, springy lemon-Parm dressing out there. I typically eat vegetarian and highly endorse the mushroom vegetarian riff that Caro suggests! Molly's: roasted asparagus farrottoI cooked this meal one day last week after the time change and it was a perfect springy experience. I sipped a glass of white wine (the same wine I used later for the recipe!) while the asparagus and farro roasted away in the oven and the evening sunlight (!!) poured through the windows. It's VERY tasty, and Caro's asparagus-roasting hack in this recipe — you cook it on an inverted pot lid! — always makes me feel like a pro. Do you have a favorite springy WTC recipe?!Whether you're traveling this season or not, these “vacation house” meal plans will get you in the springy and/or spring break spirit! Version one + version two. I'm taking my older boys on a very adventure-heavy spring break trip with Lonely Planet Journeys (formerly known as Elsewhere, the travel company that sent me on the Camino and to Patagonia!) next month. It'll be my first real trip with kids that isn't a plop vacation by the pool/beach — we are going to be making our own chocolate from native cacao! Snorkeling in cenotes! Exploring ancient ruins! We are all so excited and grateful for the opportunity.That said, my typical spring break plan is to go somewhere that I can plop in front of a body of water (pool, beach, lake, etc.) with the kids, and have easy access to a house or hotel room with all the creature comforts we may need. Other years, we hang at home and go to the pool after work and/or on local outings that we can't usually do when the kids are in school. Whatever your plans may be, here's a random collection of spring break tips and things we are loving.* I've said this before but one of my favorite vacation tricks is shipping a Thrive order to the rental house with pantry staples, kids snacks and meals (like Goodles!), and any other miscellaneous things we'll need during the trip like sunscreen, dish soap, diapers, etc. I love that when I'm filling my Thrive box I don't have to study the ingredients lists — they have a strict vetting process to ensure that everything they carry is organic and free from more than 1,000 artificial, synthetic, and GMO ingredients. It also saves me money!!! The membership's only $5 a month, they run sales all the time within their membership, and the items are already priced up to 30% off retail. Click here to get 30% off your first order and a free $60 gift of your choice when you sign up. And as a reminder, new-to-Thrive WTC Insiders get $25 off their first four orders (plus lots of other perks)! * I got this suit in black for Mexico and it's a really nice middle ground between mom suit and sexy suit. It's definitely VERY SNUG in my normal size, so size up if you're on the fence about going up or down!* At the pool this week three of my friends had this sun hat and it looked so good on everyone! I'm a ball cap person but I know I need to become a sun hat person for more coverage, ugh. * I continue to be obsessed with this glowy face sunscreen. It's honestly helping me remember to wear SPF every day because I love the way it brightens up my face when I'm not wearing makeup!* Loeffler Randall gifted me a really great travel tote bag and it got a lot of use in February. I love that it slides onto the handle of my roller bag and actually stays in place, it fits under the airplane seat nicely, and has tons of storage compartments. And it's nylon, so it transitions from airplane to poolside splashes nicely.* Speaking of roller bags, I just got a new one and I'm VERY into it. I really prefer a hard shell when I'm trying to cram WAY too much stuff into a carry-on (like for my 10-day business trip in February!), and this one has tons of great storage compartments and glides really nicely.* I just ordered these Bermuda shorts! In black. I'm very excited about them!! * From Molly: I went shopping at Vuori this past weekend in NYC and found another pair of my all-time favorite shorts, the Villa, in this new color. I wear them everywhere — exercise classes, my kids' sports practices and games, and as a coverup at the beach and pool. They have a wonderfully roomy thigh, dry quickly, and are just the comfiest. I also got this tee — I'm a shorty and the crop hits perfectly with high-waisted bottoms like the Villas. (From Caro: I've been thinking about ordering these!! We love a roomy thigh. I've been getting a lot of wear out of my fave $20 shorts but they're more athletic looking than the Villa.)* Speaking of coverups…* From Caro: I've been wearing this button-up dress to the pool (and around town) all week (and I wore it all last summer while pregnant and postpartum!).* From Molly: I shared this Quince coverup last year but can update that it held up well all summer (and we live at the beach so I wore it a ton!). It stretches out/gets weighed down a bit when it's wet, but shrinks back up once washed and dried. I love this one, too, that's similar but collared. I'm also excited for an order from this sister-owned small business to arrive soon — I'm trying to invest in more UPF-50 coverups!* From Molly: One last staple I'll be packing for beach outings this spring: my Reefs! The back strap makes them easy to walk through soft sand in (I hate it when flip flops fling sand up my legs!), and you can hose them down afterward.Every week, we dig into the What to Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup.1. farro fattoush, 2025Here's another springy good-all-week salad that will hold up well in the fridge for days! This one packs farro, chickpeas, tons of herbs, crunchy veg, a punchy lemony dressing, and poached chicken for protein. It's fresh, herby, and satisfying in a way that makes a lunch (or dinner!) salad feel like a real meal, not a side dish.2. the ultimate easy-but-fancy spring menu, 2024Your blueprint for a special occasion spring meal that comes together with zero stress: slow-roasted lamb, lemony potatoes, a bright salad, asparagus, and Gruyère & black pepper biscuits with hot honey butter! It comes with a full plan of attack to keep things seamless, but you can also mix and match pieces for a simpler, just-as-delicious meal.3. rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy frizzled cabbage, 2023A sheet-pan dinner where the chicken does double duty — roasting on top of cabbage so all that schmaltzy goodness drips down and transforms it. Add buttery sweet potatoes and you've got a cozy, low-effort, high-reward situation. From WTCer Jill: “Wow. My husband kept saying, ‘this is restaurant quality'… The cabbage is SO GOOD… And the chicken was so moist and flavorful. First time cooking a whole chicken and this recipe made it so easy.”4. roasted harissa chicken and sweet potato bowls, 2022Jammy, caramelized sweet potatoes and harissa-roasted chicken layered over a cool, creamy swoop of yogurt or labne — then finished with crunchy nuts, pops of sweet dried fruit, and a squeeze of lemon. This meal hits every note (spicy, creamy, tangy, crunchy) and is endlessly adaptable depending on what you have.5. one-skillet crispy chicken burrito bowls, 2021So many of you have this recipe on repeat — it's easy, reliable, and a total crowd-pleaser. Rice cooks in salsa until it's rich and flavorful, chicken gets golden and crispy on top, and everything finishes with melty, bubbly cheese under the broiler.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means we may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

"Nobody knows how to make 100 million view videos until they just start posting."  In this episode of Retail War Games, Jeremy sits down with Isaac Cook, former Lead Producer at MrBeast, former  producer for the massive Beast Games production and now founder of White Rock Media and Farther Media. Isaac shares the high-stakes tactical lessons learned while managing $2.5 million production budgets per video and leading teams of over 1,000 people on set. We dive into the granular "science of the click"—from why the shape of a smile on a thumbnail can drive millions in revenue to why the CEO of McDonald's recently went viral using nothing but an iPhone. Isaac breaks down the strategic void many retail brands face: spending millions on massive sponsorships while neglecting the authentic, raw content on their own digital channels that actually builds long-term consumer trust. Whether you are a founder scaling a $5M brand or an executive at a billion-dollar enterprise, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the world's most successful content engine to show you how to turn digital attention into a measurable retail advantage.  

I jumped on the mic after a morning doom scroll that left a bad taste in my mouth (as they often can). Two smart, credible humans I follow and generally value their content... One publicly and shamelessly tearing the other apart. But this is not the exception these days, it's sadly becoming the rule. Just today's standard algorithm bait dressed up as 'education.' And it got me thinking. We say we value integrity, kindness, critical thinking. Then we reward outrage, pile-ons, and public shaming because it gets clicks and views. We tell kids not to bully while modelling the exact behaviour online (and offline). F*cking wild, huh? So, here’s my general consensus... If you’re putting yourself out there, expect heat. Life is a contact sport... (online sure effing is) If you’re the one throwing the heat, ask who you’re becoming. Cos guess what... We can share ideas without being dickheads.We can disagree without tearing people down.We can influence without manipulating. Be loud if you want.Just don’t lose your integrity on the way. Tune in if this interests you as much as it did me...

Ambitious Addicts welcomes Oklahoma-based Christina Cook back to the show. Christina Cook, a gambler in recovery, created the Broke Girl Society Podcast and online community to help women. Christina retells a bit of the origin story of her recovery as a former problem gambler. Like a lot of people who fall into problem gambling as a vice, Christina speaks about life events such feelings of powerlessness in early childhood and later in adult relationships. "Not feeling like I had control in my life was a big catalyst," she said of gambling. For awhile, gambling became her solution. "Even my own [inner] voice went quiet ... it felt like a sense of peace for awhile." Later in the episode Christina recounts how those early traumas and experience struggling with problem gambling eventually shaped her vision for a women-centered community specializing in gambling recovery. Women were particularly underrepresented in her part of the country, so she saught a way for women to have a forum to connect. The Facebook Group Broke Girl Society has about 3500 members and hosts multiple virtual meetings weekly. People from all over the U.S. and the world tune into the Broke Girl Society podcast and visit the online community.  You can find the online facebook community here https://www.facebook.com/groups/brokegirlsociety/. Christina continues to attend conferences throughout the U.S. and the world to gather the latest emerging knowledge in the gambling harms space, so she can bring it back to her audience.  --- Do you know someone who you'd consider to be an Ambitious Addict?

Can dentists go to heaven? That's the question that only Toothless (1997) is bold enough to ask, and also bold enough to answer: No.This is what dead dentist Dr. Katherine Lewis discovers after she is hit by a car and wakes up in limbo, and discovers that, as punishment for her life of fixing people's mouths, she is sentenced to be the tooth fairy, visiting children's homes unseen to collect their teeth and exchange them for shiny silver coins, until such time as the powers that be decide that she has served her time and can go to heaven. But in an interesting twist, it turns out that Katherine is bad at this and so before long, she's chatting to kids, giving them advice and occasionally watching their dads undress. Will Katherine be able to make it to heaven despite her many, many crimes? Does Disney realise that not every country has the concept of a tooth fairy? And if your movie's script is bad, is it enough to just do the cabbage patch and hope for the best?

For decades, Jacqui Cook lived in a cycle many women know all too well: losing weight, gaining it back, and starting over… always wondering why nothing seemed to stick. Food was her love language, life kept getting in the way, and no matter how hard she tried, maintaining her progress felt impossible.Everything changed after a wake-up moment that led her to try a GLP-1 medication. Now, 115 pounds lighter, Jacqui shares the real, honest side of her journey: navigating maintenance, facing the fear of regain, letting go of guilt, rebuilding lost muscle, and learning to live fully in her body. She also reveals the diet habit she finally ditched, and why it turned out to be one of the best decisions of her life.ReferencesBody Composition Mini CourseGet the free podcast roadmap for The Obesity GuideAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Episode 3490: Keith Wilson explains how the mind naturally fixates on negative experiences and overlooks small moments of success and positivity. By deliberately noticing and strengthening these small positive exceptions, people can gradually reshape their thinking and even heal painful memories. Wilson's simple “HEAL” process shows how nurturing positive experiences can transform negativity into growth and resilience.

Episode 3490: Keith Wilson explains how the mind naturally fixates on negative experiences and overlooks small moments of success and positivity. By deliberately noticing and strengthening these small positive exceptions, people can gradually reshape their thinking and even heal painful memories. Wilson's simple “HEAL” process shows how nurturing positive experiences can transform negativity into growth and resilience. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://keithwilsoncounseling.com/2020/06/03/cook-the-negativity-2/ Quotes to ponder: "You learn a lot quicker from negative experiences than you do from positive ones." "Notice the exceptions to the behavior you want to change." "When you cook something, you're generally taking something that is not very good; something unpalatable, tasteless, and indigestible, and turning it into something that sustains life and tastes great."

Jessica Koslow has been thinking about dinner for a long time. Since Sqirl opened in LA's Virgil Village neighborhood in 2012, she has built one of the most influential restaurants in California—and watched as an entire generation of all-day cafés took note. Dinner has long been anticipated. In February, “Sqirl After Dark” finally launched. I sat down with Jessica to talk through the first weeks of service, the new menu, and what it feels like to cook the food you've been planning for decades. And before that it's the return on Three Things. Aliza and Matt discuss some of their recent restaurant visits in Mexico City and Los Angeles, including: El Cardenal, Orbita, El Tibur, and Contramar in CDMX and in LA: Max & Helen's, LaSorted, and Sora Craft Kitchen.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo APPLEaks con TODO sobre el futuro de Apple: cambios radicales en producción, iPhone plegable, productos Ultra, línea NEO y el 50 aniversario. Arrancamos fuerte: 1 de cada 4 iPhones ya se produce en India. Apple se aleja de China y se viene producción en territorio americano. Además, Apple está probando impresión 3D de aluminio para iPhone y Apple Watch: bajan costos, usan aluminio reciclado y mejoran el diseño. iPhone plegable confirmado: ya empezó la producción y saldría este año en septiembre. Por eso NO habrá iPhone 18 estándar, solo 18 Pro y 18 Pro Max + el iPhone Fold. Tendrá multitarea como iPad y posiblemente se llame "iPhone Ultra" siguiendo la lógica de nombres actuales. Productos Ultra: nueva categoría de alta gama. MacBook Pro Ultra con procesador M6, pantalla táctil, isla dinámica y panel exclusivo. El M6 llegaría primero a esta línea. Productos NEO: la revolución de Apple. MacBook NEO con 8GB RAM (ojalá 12GB próximamente), puerto USB 2.0, pero diseño reparable (iFixit le dio la mejor calificación en 14 años). Precios: $399 regular, $299 para estudiantes. Se viene línea completa: iPhone NEO, iPad NEO, Mac NEO, iMac NEO, Mac Mini NEO. Esto destruye el mercado de entrada. iPhone 18 Pro: isla dinámica más pequeña, Face ID bajo píxeles activos, mejor batería, sensores de cámara superiores, Always On Display mejorado y mayor eficiencia energética. 50 aniversario de Apple (1 de abril): Tim Cook adelantó celebraciones masivas. Se viene libro "The First Fifty", eventos especiales, nueva categoría Ultra, productos de edición limitada con logo Rainbow del Apple II. Rumores de iPod edición limitada (20-40 millones de unidades escala Apple). Tim Cook se retiraría: después de llevar Apple de $350 millones a $4 trillones, daría un paso al costado. Jony Ive ya se fue, ahora manda Jeff Williams (quien trajo de vuelta MagSafe, puertos USB y todo lo que Johnny había sacado). Se viene sangre nueva. La cara del futuro: rumores indican que el personaje Finder Guy (el muchachito del Finder) sería la imagen visible del asistente de IA de Apple. Recuerda a Clippy de Microsoft. ¿Te gusta la idea?

What happens when your body starts telling a story your mind cannot ignore? In this episode, Dr. Alison sits down with author Justin Whitmel Earley to explore the connection between spiritual formation and the everyday rhythms of our bodies. From the outside, Justin's life looked stable and successful. But anxiety and panic began surfacing in ways he could no longer explain away. What followed was a deeper question many of us quietly carry: what if our bodies are revealing something about how we are living? Together, Alison and Justin explore the forgotten wisdom of embodied faith and how small daily practices shape the soul over time. In this conversation, they explore: Why anxiety sometimes appears even when life “looks fine” on the surface The surprising ways your body may be revealing deeper patterns in your life What modern faith may have forgotten about the role of the body How simple daily rhythms can slowly reshape who we are becoming This conversation is not about fixing yourself. It's about learning to listen because most likely your body knew something before you had words for it. Because sometimes the path toward healing begins by paying attention to the wisdom already present in your body.

Hi! First of all, I recorded a voiceover of this So Into That! Click the play button above if you'd like to listen. I really, really tried not to cry, but it was just a crying kind of day apparently.I've had a wild few weeks of travel — both for pleasure to Mexico with the kids, and then, eight hours after landing from Mexico, I left for a 10-day work trip that included announcing my new book on Good Morning America, delivering a keynote at my alma mater (go Heels), taping an upcoming appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, bringing my 5-year-old along for the second half of the trip, and having a bazillion meetings and coffees in between.That 10-day trip marked the end of breastfeeding my fourth baby. I breastfed my first baby for 14 months, my second baby for 12 months, my third baby for six months, and my fourth baby for seven months. That's three years and three months of breastfeeding. Before I go on, I want to say that I am not writing this to glorify breastfeeding. Any way you feed your baby is absolutely perfect. Formula rules. Giving a baby a pumped milk or formula bottle is just as cozy and wonderful (and also difficult at times) as breastfeeding, and provides many or all of the same moments I share below. But I did breastfeed (in combination with formula for my last two babies), so, now that that chapter of my life is behind me, I wrote a toast to it, to say goodbye.Breastfeeding: You made my boobs resemble empty wind socks, you made me question every single food or drink I had consumed in a 48-hour period whenever my baby wiggled slightly too much in his sleep, you made me smell so, so bad, you made my nipples bleed, you made my boobs leak in so many public places, and, according to my math, you consumed roughly 2,400 hours, aka 99 entire days, of my life over the past seven years. You also allowed me to spend precious hours alone with my tiny, perfect babies, to escape countless boring conversations, to get out of so many tedious obligations, and to hide in dark rooms at parties. You created quiet pockets of time in the middle of loud, busy life. You gave me thousands of small moments with my babies that I'll never quite be able to explain to anyone who wasn't there with us. I have loved you, I have hated you, and I have felt pretty whatever about you, sometimes all in the same minute. And it's time for us to say goodbye forever. But before we do, here's a toast to you. To the 1 a.m. feeds, the 3 a.m. feeds, the 3:45 a.m. feeds, the 5 a.m. feeds, and the 5:32 a.m. feeds, when the whole house was silent except for the rhythmic, baby-piglet snorts and gulps. To that first successful latch. To that first public breastfeeding session when you're still trying to maintain a shred of modesty. To that last public breastfeeding session when you've thrown modesty to the wind. To the newly postpartum oxytocin blasts that felt like drugs. To never ever sitting in the rocking chair that my mother-in-law so lovingly bought me, instead preferring to breastfeed in bed, surrounded by pillows, in what my sons aptly named “mama's nest.”To the frantic “I NEED WATER! SERIOUSLY, I'M DYING, PLEASE HELP ME RIGHT NOW!” shouts to my husband. To the times he handed it to me before I even asked and it felt like the truest form of love. To my sons asking “does he need to drink yer boob!?” every time the baby cried. To all the food dropped on my babies' heads. To going from breastfeeding being a quiet, peaceful time to learning how to breastfeed while kissing toddler boo boos, or feeding myself lunch, or building MagnaTile castles, or making snacks. To living life to a soundtrack of white noise. To crying while listening to Michelle Obama's memoir in my first baby's first nursery. To flipping the pages of so many books with my chin because I didn't have any free hands.To my body literally having a super power: the ability to instantly calm a baby. To powering through the extreme discomfort of breastfeeding on the bleachers at a baseball game or on a 90-degree day at a water park or on one of those tiny chairs at a pre-K teacher conference. To the hours spent pinned under a sleeping child, oscillating between feeling trapped and feeling like I was exactly where I was meant to be. To the way a soft diaper-clad newborn felt curled against my soft, squishy postpartum body. To the milk drunk faces. To the milk that dribbled out of the side of their mouth when they couldn't even stay awake long enough to finish that mouthful. To kissing their little face and tasting the sugariness of my own milk and being kind of grossed out but not really.To helping me get to know my babies. To helping me understand every single noise they made except for the really weird ones that made me and my husband or whatever big kid was in the room laugh and laugh at the absurdity of such a tiny, adorable baby making such a wild noise. To my body waking up when the baby's breathing changed ever so slightly because they'd just woken up. To the cheeks and thighs and knuckle dimples and wrist rolls my body created. To all the times I've nibbled on those cheeks and thighs and wrist rolls because I had no other option, I had to.To the thousands of hours of anxiety, joy, pain, and overwhelming contentment.To the end of an era. No more nursing bras. No more leaky boobs. No more pumping! No more calculating feed times before leaving the house.Thank you for allowing me to feed another human with my body, how cool. Thank you for the quiet moments, the escape hatch, and the excuse to re-watch every single season of Gray's Anatomy. And now, respectfully, lovingly, goodbye.Unless you're brand new here, you know that I'm a huge audiobook fan. Audiobooks accompany me on walks, make doing the dishes and folding clothes infinitely more fun, and played in my ear so, so often while I fed/rocked/walked/shushed my babies over the last seven years. I am excited to be partnering with Macmillan Audio today to introduce you to my new-favorite listen that I can't bring myself to press pause on: This Story Might Save Your Life (TSMSYL) by Tiffany Crum, which released yesterday! I've been venturing outside of my usual romance reading over the last few months and am loving this story — it's part romance, part suspense, with a touch of humor. And the audiobook specifically is a work of art. To celebrate the release of TSMSYL, we chatted with Tiffany! CARO: Before we get into This Story Might Save Your Life, we want to learn about you! I know (but also can't believe because it's so well done) that this is your debut novel — give us a quick rundown on your path to becoming a novelist.TIFFANY: First of all, thank you so much for inviting me into your community! My path to getting published was a long one. I've always loved writing, but I never allowed myself to pursue it as a career until my oldest son was born. That was when I realized: if I wanted my children to grow up believing they could follow their dreams, I needed to teach by example and follow mine first. I'd love to end the story there and say that was all it took — boom, immediate book deal! — but in reality it was a winding 18-year journey of writing manuscripts that will (very happily) never see the light of day. In the end, This Story Might Save Your Life is the one where all that practice and determination finally came together.CARO: I can relate to so much of that! How long have you wanted to be an author, and what did you do professionally before writing this book?TIFFANY: I'm not kidding when I say I didn't even let myself think about writing novels until my first son was born. Before I became a parent, I worked full time as an executive assistant in the film industry. After he was born, I reprioritized. I chose to work part time so I could carve out space to pursue my dream while raising our son, and later our sons. We struggled for many of those years, but my husband was completely on board. He likes to say he never had any choice in the matter because I'm miserable when I don't have time to write, but that really downplays how supportive he's always been.CARO: Where do you live and where are you from?TIFFANY: I grew up on a dairy farm just down the road from a maximum-security prison, which is a pretty good origin story for someone who ended up writing suspense. After many years living in California, I now live outside Atlanta with my husband, our two sons, and our two dogs.CARO: What was your inspiration for This Story Might Save Your Life? How and when did the idea come to you? How long did it take you to complete this novel?TIFFANY: I've always been fascinated by the strange intimacy of podcasts. When you listen to someone's voice for hundreds of hours, you start to feel like you know them — even though you've never actually met them. This made me wonder: what if something terrible happened to one half of a beloved podcast duo? How would the audience react? And what if the story behind the microphone turned out to be very different from what listeners believed? The first draft came together quickly because I was head over heels in love with these characters, but, like most novels, it went through several rounds of revision before it became the version readers have now.CARO: OK now give us the scoop on This Story Might Save Your Life! Will you sum up the plot?TIFFANY: This Story Might Save Your Life is both a thriller and a love story about two best friends, Benny and Joy, who host a wildly popular comedy survival podcast, and what happens when one goes missing and the survival story becomes their own.CARO: Is there a podcast that inspired Benny and Joy's — their dynamic together, if not the content itself?TIFFANY: I'm a longtime podcast listener, and I've always loved shows hosted by close friends, particularly My Favorite Murder. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark were a real source of inspiration for me, not just because of their tangent-filled banter, but also their incredible trajectory to fame. I had a blast writing a duo whose friendship feels as fun and unpredictable as theirs.CARO: I'm an audiobook lover and was so excited to learn that this book's narrated by Julia Whelan (my fave!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins. And I've been blown away by the production of it all. Why the extra attention on audio? TIFFANY: I'm a huge audiobook fan, as well! And because the story revolves around a podcast, it was exciting to have the opportunity to really lean into the audio format. Julia Whelan (the queen!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins are phenomenal narrators. Not only did they absolutely nail their POV chapters, they also recorded the podcast scenes in duet, which makes the listening experience especially immersive. I also wrote a bonus podcast episode just for the audiobook, and my producer had the brilliant idea to include tip-line call-ins, which are incredibly fun to hear. The Macmillan Audio team really knocked it out of the park, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.CARO: How can we expect to feel when we read the last page/listen to the last chapter?TIFFANY: I set out to write a thriller with a soft center. It has twists and tense cliffhanging chapters, but the real heart of the story is the friendship between Benny and Joy. If I've done my job, you'll feel everything from delight to devastation along the way, and close the book feeling satisfied — maybe even with a renewed sense of hope in the goodness of human nature.CARO: Last question! If Joy and Benny were recipes from What to Cook, which would they be?TIFFANY: Easy! Joy and Benny would absolutely choose the 3-ingredient chorizo street tacos. Not only are street tacos their favorite, but the chorizo twist also feels very on brand — a little unexpected and guaranteed to make things more interesting. Plus, a 10-minute meal is always a win!WTC Insiders, we're so excited to announce a new perk of your subscription: a free audiobook download thanks to Macmillan Audio!

Get your smaller size, if between two. * I'm wearing a lot of these turtlenecks with vests these days, which is my best friend Lily's uniform that I stole from her. I got this vest from Sezane while I was in New York and wore it on The Drew Barrymore Show (with a navy turtle under!). I borrowed an old vest from Lily that is similar to this one from Quince to wear on GMA! And I wore this one of Lily's with a dark grey turtle under for my keynote at UNC. I also ordered this one when I got home. I told you, lots of turtlenecks and vests!* St. Patrick's Day is next Tuesday! Low-effort, high-reward holiday moms unite. Last year was my first year as a holiday mom on St. Patrick's Day — I put about 15 minutes of effort into it and my kids still talk about how St. Patrick's Day is the most fun day ever. Here's exactly what I did and what I'm planning to repeat this year: rainbow tic-tacs leading from their bedroom door all the way to the toilet. Toilet dyed green. Leprechaun potty tricks! Then, downstairs, a green tablecloth, rainbow napkins, green plates, crayons with coloring pages from Something To Host, gold chocolate coins scattered all over the table (but this year I got these sour gummy coins instead because my kids don't actually seem to like chocolate coins), a big rainbow-shaped fruit spread (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, apples…) with whipped cream clouds at the bottom of the rainbow. And Lucky Charms!* I just bought this Lake pajama set for probably the twentieth time for a friend's birthday. It's very important for my overcrowded, overstimulated brain to have a few go-to gifts that I know every woman in my life will love and deeply appreciate so that I'm not constantly racking my brain for new ideas. This set is my fave for a pregnant or newly postpartum mom. Another go-to is sending a cookie cake via Instacart or DoorDash with something funny written on it when they need a little pick me up or a birthday hurrah.* One of my best friends from college, Mary Pell, and her daughter Leighton are coming to visit us next week for her Spring Break. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!! They're coming for three nights, which Mary Pell once told me is the maximum length a guest should stay. “You know what they say, guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” I love Southerners and their limitless expressions. * Local (Monterey County, CA) people, George and I went to Fishwife in Pacific Grove last night and had the greatest night! It's totally dated but in a great way. Our food was delicious and there were some really inventive sauces. There were also some extremely 90s-feeling elements, like steamed broccoli and squash on every entree, and a truly wild lime green syrup garnishing the key lime pie. It is stuck in time but in a really cozy, still delicious way. We felt like intruders at a locals-only spot. And the service was amazing!!Every week, we dig into the archives to bring a few favorites back to the top of your meal plan. This week's lineup leans heavily into bowls — the kind of dinners that are flexible, packed with flavor, and easy to adapt based on what's in your fridge.1. happy bowls, 2025Roasted sweet potatoes, beets, cauliflower, and red onion piled over grains and greens with a completely addictive cashew sauce. This one's basically a choose-your-own-adventure veggie bowl and an excellent meal-prep situation — make the veggies and sauce once and build your bowls all week.2. thai-ish steak & noodle salad, 2024A Hillstone-inspired noodle salad that tastes restaurant-level but is totally doable at home. Tender steak, herbs, mango, crunchy cabbage, and noodles tossed in a punchy cashew-lime-sesame dressing (that's so good you'll want to drink it!).3. 30-minute pork and kimchi CYOA bowls, 2023A fast, flavor-packed pork and kimchi situation with rice, a drizzly tahini-gochujang sauce, and lettuce leaves to wrap it all up in. Set everything out family-style and let everyone build their own bowl, wrap, or chopped salad.4. sriracha shrimp sushi bowls, 2022All the flavors of sushi night!
