According to LinkedIn, 50% of recruiters report that poor interview performance—or a candidate's inability to clearly articulate their experience under pressure—is a primary reason qualified candidates are rejected. That raises an important question: How do talented professionals make sure their value is understood when the pressure is on? This week on Let's Have This Conversation, I'm joined by Margaret Buj, an interview coach and international recruiter who helps professionals communicate their value clearly, confidently, and convincingly so they can pursue the roles they truly want. Since beginning her recruitment career in 2005, Margaret has worked with thousands of job seekers across the UK, Europe, the United States, and beyond—from ambitious graduates to senior managers and C-suite executives. She has also personally coached more than 1,000 job seekers, helping them strengthen their positioning, improve their LinkedIn profiles and résumés, prepare for high-stakes interviews, and develop more effective job-search strategies. What makes Margaret's perspective particularly valuable is that she understands both sides of the hiring table. She knows how organizations assess talent—and where highly qualified candidates can struggle to communicate the value they bring. Her work sits at the intersection of hiring, professional positioning, and interview strategy, helping companies build stronger teams while helping professionals compete more effectively for the right opportunities. Margaret's career advice has been featured in Forbes, the Financial Times, Business Insider, The Guardian, Fox Business, CIO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and other leading publications. She has also been recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice. Margaret joined me for an in-depth conversation about: • Building a more intentional job-search strategy • Positioning yourself effectively on LinkedIn and through your résumé • Preparing to communicate with confidence during interviews • Understanding what recruiters and hiring managers are really evaluating • Standing out when competing against other highly qualified candidates • Turning your experience into a compelling professional value proposition Your qualifications may open the door. Your ability to articulate their value can determine what happens once you walk through it.

All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio with Pamela L Henderson Girl Empowerment, Sierra Leone Diplomacy, and Resilience at the United Nations with Judy Kuriansky Host Pamela L. Henderson talks with UN advisor and clinical psychologist Dr. Judy Kuriansky about girl empowerment, Sierra Leone's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, resilience after trauma, and using music and diplomacy to build peace. A Warm Welcome And Introduction Pamela L. Henderson opens the broadcast on BBS Radio, describing All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio as a platform she built since 2011 around social growth and leadership for young people. She invites listeners to her Tuesday broadcasts and points them to journeyofasapphire.com and allroadslead65max.org. Henderson then introduces her guest, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, calling her an internationally known clinical psychologist, author, humanitarian, media personality, musician, and philanthropist who serves as an advisor to the Mission of the Republic of Sierra Leone at the United Nations. Henderson notes that Kuriansky once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro all the way to the summit, framing her as an example of endurance and determination. Kuriansky thanks Henderson for the invitation and says the show's focus on girl empowerment speaks directly to her own work, calling empowerment the word most critical to self-esteem, to fulfilling dreams, and, expanded outward, to peace in the world. A Journey Into Sierra Leone Kuriansky explains that at the United Nations she advocates for mental health and for Sustainable Development Goal five, the empowerment and rights of women and girls agreed to by 193 countries, and that she works closely with the first lady of Sierra Leone. Asked by Henderson to trace that journey, Kuriansky recalls a Peace Corps friend inviting her to Sierra Leone during the AIDS era, where she did radio outreach with young people for the organization Search for Common Ground. A Sierra Leonean friend was later named ambassador to the United States, and Kuriansky became his policy advisor, learning about poverty and energy issues alongside psychology. She returned during the Ebola outbreak that struck Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. She describes the first lady, once forced into early marriage herself, winning a UN resolution establishing an international day against child, early, and forced marriage, and a Sierra Leonean law allowing up to fifteen years in prison for perpetrators of sexual violence, giving legal teeth to access to justice. Resilience Lessons And Girl Empowerment Programs Henderson praises Kuriansky's emphasis on resilience, a value central to her own foundation, and Kuriansky illustrates the concept with an exercise she uses with children after disasters: bounce a ball and watch it return, then strike it harder and watch it bounce higher, proof that people can come back from crisis even stronger. Henderson asks about the first lady's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, and Kuriansky explains it targets violence against girls that drives them out of school, and includes distributing sanitary pads so girls can keep attending and building self-esteem. Henderson describes her own program, which serves girls from fourteen into adulthood, many transitioning out of foster care, domestic violence, trafficking, truancy, or family breakdown. Through her company, 65 Max Corporation, its production arm, a clothing line, and her foundation, she teaches customer service skills that build integrity, confidence, and accountability, and graduates can earn certification and apply for jobs within her organization, turning training directly into employment. Surviving Trauma, Saving A Grandson Henderson shares the story behind her foundation: in 2009 her daughter, then twenty-one and raising two children alone, survived a harsh domestic violence relationship that led to her children being removed from her home. Barred from stepping in to help directly, Henderson fought for her grandchildren while facing vandalism to her car and home, tampered bank accounts, and what she describes as a year of gang stalking and bullying, living on little more than water and bread. She says a conversation with God set her on the path that became All Roads Lead 65 Max Foundation. Henderson recounts winning guardianship of her grandson in 2017 after finding him with failing eyesight, poor dental health, and a nerve twitch from prior neglect; she dismissed the doctors treating him with medication and instead gave him love, guidance, and direction, and he is now eighteen, thriving, and doing well in school. Kuriansky calls it a story of survival and thriving, and connects it to her own volunteer support work at Ground Zero after September 11th. Music, Diplomacy, And Global Honors Kuriansky describes one of her proudest programs, The Girls' Empowerment Camp in Lesotho, where she used affirmations, dance, and storytelling to help girls address the dangers of AIDS and build self-worth. She credits her songwriting partner, musician Russell Daisey, a former student who asked her to write psychologically sound lyrics after September 11th; together they wrote Towers of Light, Hands Off Our Girls, One in Faith, Hope Is Alive, and Stand Up for Peace. As a founding member of Women for Diplomacy International, Kuriansky recently traveled to Budapest to read peace poetry with the group's co-founder, a former Hungarian ambassador to the UN. She lists honors including the Grand Commander of the Order of the Rokel from Sierra Leone's president, a Presidential award for volunteer service from President Biden, and induction into the eMentalHealth International Hall of Fame, framing recognition as rooted in a principle from Japanese psychology: appreciating what people do, however small, rather than waiting for grand achievement. Pioneering Advice Radio And What's Next Henderson turns to Kuriansky's decades as a pioneer of call-in radio advice, which began in 1980 after she evaluated sex therapy research for Masters and Johnson and wrote about pleasure for Cosmopolitan magazine, eventually hosting nightly advice shows and a Z100 program featuring celebrity guests. Asked why empowerment matters now, Kuriansky points to wars, personal fears, and anxiety over artificial intelligence, insisting that human connection cannot be replaced by machines, a concern Henderson shares even as her own foundation uses AI alongside live customer-service support. Kuriansky outlines what is next: working with Sierra Leone's first lady at the UN General Assembly, finishing a book, and performing songs including Towers of Light and Stand Up for Peace at a Times Square concert with Russell Daisey. She directs listeners to her website, drjudy.com, and to Black Tie Magazine for her writing. Henderson thanks her guest warmly, and closes the broadcast with a quote about loving fully, living gently, and gracefully letting go of what was never meant to stay.

For years, the climate movement ran on the promise that, if we all rally hard enough, we could have it all: continue with our current system and save the planet. Yet the events of the past few decades have shown that this isn't quite the case, and in fact, climate is just one crisis among many produced by our growth-at-all-costs system. This raises the question: What happens when a culture built on the certainty of progress has to confront its own uncertainty?  In this episode, Nate is joined by philosopher and author Sarah Wilson for an exploration of the emotions that come from learning about, processing, and then embodying the full extent of the metacrisis. Sarah shares her own emotional arc through this journey, and makes the case that "hope" (at least the version most of us think of) is no longer helpful, since it defers responsibility to some future savior rather than requiring anything of us now. In its place, she argues for truth to ground us, revealing the only path forward is to be "thoroughly human" – grieving, laughing, dancing, showing up for our neighbors. She and Nate also explore why prepping alone doesn't work, and that we should instead be working toward a radical simplification: an intentional shift toward a slower, more communal way of living. Why does the fear of uncertainty run so much deeper than we admit, and what happens to us once we stop resisting it? What emotions and opportunities do we make room for when we let go of false hopes that someone else will solve our crises? And if collapse is actually a slow unraveling of the system we've built our lives around, what would it look like to meet it with the same sense of duty and connection that has always seen humans through hard times? (Conversation recorded on September 10th, 2026)    About Sarah Wilson: Sarah Wilson is a multiple-time New York Times and Amazon bestselling author, social philosopher, international keynote speaker, minimalist, and philanthropist. She edited Cosmopolitan magazine Australia at 29, founded the global I Quit Sugar movement, hosted the most-watched non-sports broadcast TV series in the nation's history – Masterchef Australia – and wrote the bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, which Mark Manson described as "the best book on living with anxiety that I've ever read." Her book, This One Wild and Precious Life, won the US Gold Nautilus Prize, and she has been ranked in the top 200 most influential authors in the world (two years in a row). Her latest book, I Eat the Stars, is now available globally. Sarah lives nomadically, leading dynamic, global conversations about modern philosophy, creativity, existential risk and climate change via her keynote speaking, Wild podcast, and her Substack and social communities (of 550,000 subscribers).   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Most women know the feeling. You say yes. Your body shows up. But some part of you is somewhere else entirely — running through tomorrow's to-do list, waiting for it to be over, checking a box so you will not be expected to again for a week.It is called duty sex. And it is one of the most common and least talked-about dynamics in long-term relationships.In this episode for Sexual Health Awareness Month, Gabriella sits down with Dr. Holly Richmond, somatic psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author of Reclaiming Pleasure, for one of the most honest and practically rich conversations this show has ever had about desire, self-abandonment, and what it actually takes to move from going through the motions to having sex worth wanting.This is not a conversation about broken relationships or broken women. Nobody is broken here. But the system — the way we were taught to think about desire, consent, and our own pleasure — needs a serious upgrade. And this episode is a very good place to start.Are you ready to awaken your sensuality and feel more empowered in your body? Access the FREE Pleasure Upgrade Bundle at https://www.pleasureinthepause.com/gift.Dr. Holly Richmond is a somatic psychotherapist, certified sex therapist and sex therapy supervisor, and Associate Director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. An internationally recognized therapist, high-profile couples coach, speaker, retreat facilitator, and author of Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex-Positive Guide for Moving Past Sexual Trauma and Living a Passionate Life, she takes a sex-positive approach to helping clients build healthy relationships and improve their sex lives in ways that are authentic, embodied and long-lasting. With a significant media following, her work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, Oprah, Forbes, Netflix, NBC, and Cosmopolitan, among others. Highlights from our discussion include:What duty sex actually is and the difference between self-abandonment and a generous act of connectionWhat happens in a woman's body when she repeatedly says yes while part of her means no — numbness, resentment, and pain as the body's way of speakingSpontaneous versus responsive desire and why understanding the difference changes everything for midlife womenWhat a sexual template is, why most women have never developed one, and how to startThe three-part framework from Reclaiming Pleasure — control, pleasure, and connection — and how to use it to assess whether sex is happening in a sex-positive wayThe four things the healthiest couples do: active appreciations, giving the benefit of the doubt, affectionate touch without expectation, and talking about sexWhy nobody is broken — the lower desire partner, the higher desire partner, or the relationship — and what actually needs to change Dr. Holly Richmond says it plainly at the end of this conversation: nobody is broken here. Not the lower desire partner. Not the higher desire partner. The system is broken. And most of it can be repaired with more communication, more transparency, and more willingness to actually talk about sex — which almost none of us were taught to do. If you're seeking to reclaim your pleasure and vitality, join Gabriella at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pleasureinthepause.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this enlightening journey into the heart of female pleasure and empowerment.CONNECT WITH DR.

After 17 years of marriage, Courtney Boyer asked her husband a terrifying question: what if we opened the marriage? She discovered she was polyamorous — he wasn't. He's still monogamous. And they're still together. Courtney joins Marcela to talk about what really happens when one partner opens a marriage the other didn't ask for. How do you tell your husband of 17 years you need something he doesn't? What does a mono-poly marriage actually look like day to day? And where does purity culture fit into all of it? Raw, honest, and full of the conversations most couples are too scared to have. **About Courtney:** Courtney Boyer, M.Ed., M.S., is a relationship and sexuality expert, former therapist, and the author of *Not Tonight, Honey* and her memoir *Opened*. She helps people question the relationship rules they inherited, reconnect with their desire, and build lives that actually feel like their own.

Lisa Steele, author of 'In Season' and known for her expertise in eggs from her Blog, and first cookbook of the same name Fresh Eggs Daily, and farm-to-table cooking, shares her journey from chicken farming to cookbook author. She discusses her creative process, the challenges of social media, and her upcoming baking book, offering insights for aspiring food creators.Stephanie Hansen (00:00.718)Hello, everybody. Welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where I talk to cool people in the food space. I've been expanding my repertoire, but I got a cookbook that came across my desk earlier in the season. It is called In Season. It's by Lisa Steele. She's the founder of Fresh Eggs Daily. And this is Lisa's second book. The first book that she has is really all about eggs. Because if you know Lisa, she is a chicken farmer.But she is so much more than that. Lisa, this new book "In Season”, 125 sweet and savory recipes, is gorgeous. Congratulations.Lisa Steele l (00:37.886)thank you. Yeah, it it is a really pretty book. I mean, I know the most important part is that the recipes are delicious, but you know, we do all eat with our eyes. And I feel like if someone's in a bookstore flipping through the book, you know, they're just gonna be like, I wanna make that, I wanna make that, that looks so good. I mean, it's just so because it's vegetables and fruits and berries, you know. So it was easy to make it like bright and vibrant. You know, my first book, All Eggs, it can get a little dull, you know, eggs are kind of tough to photograph sometimes.Hmm.Stephanie Hansen (01:08.138)Your first book though, okay, so every season I spend a bit good portion of the summer at my cabin. And your book came with me to the cabin this summer because there's so much to do with eggs and I do a lot of entertaining there. So there's a lot of brunch ideas. So I use that book a lot.Lisa Steele l (02:19.71)Good. And I mean the second book does have a whole egg chapter. So anyone who does love eggs, I managed to slide in, you know, like a bunch of deviled egg recipes and, you know, some baked dishes that I feel like are, you know, kind of like casseroles that are really good for entertaining, or like you said, if you're, you know, somewhere that you have a limited, you know, cooking space or whatever. So there are still egg recipes for those people that love eggs.Stephanie Hansen (01:55.47)Can we talk about like obviously after you got done with the first book, y you had more to say and more to say that wasn't just eggs? I loved that you expanded your repertoire because obviously you're a cook. you know how to make and put together a book and put dishes together. What was it that kept propelling you forward, or were you just like, I'm gonna stay on this cookbook jag?Lisa Steele l (02:19.71)yeah. So after the first book came out, I mean it was it was brand new. Like you said, I was in the chicken world. I was writing books about raising chickens. I was giving talks about raising chickens and you know, COVID came along and my publisher wanted me to write another chicken book. And I had written like almost a book a year for like six years. And I said to him, I don't really have anything more to say about chickens. Like I have a blog with a ton of information. I just couldn't get excited about it, you know. And so I said, I really want to write a cookbook. Like it's COVID. I feel like this might be the end of the world. You know, I wanna likeCheck things off my bucket list. And he did he wasn't interested. He he said, No, you've got your lane. This is what you do. This is what you do. Well, you need to do it. But he very graciously let me out of my contract. you know, you know, as a cookbook author, you they have like first write a refusal, right? And you've got like whatever. He let me out of my contract, wished me well. and I hired an agent and pitched, you know, the egg cookbook to him. He loved it. Jill kind of was so gracious to share with me her agent. and yeah, he loved the idea of an egg cookbook. And he said, you know, it's the next natural step for you. You know, you've got all these people that raise chickens and have a ton of eggs. Let's do this cookbook. Plus, people who don't have chickens, you know, so it's just widening your your universe kind of. so he loved it, got right on board, and it was so much fun. you know.People say cookbooks are hard to write and it wasn't easy and it took a long time, you know, two years, right? Start to finish pretty much. but I found it so much easier than writing like a nonfiction chicken book because each recipe is like its own little capsule. You know, you've got your your title, you've got your head notes, you've got your recipe and your photo, and then you move on. And like writing a nonfiction book.There's got to be chapters and there's got to be paragraphs and you can't do all run-on sentences and it has to flow. And I I just found the whole cookbook process in my mind was so much easier to like wrap my head around, you know. yeah, and I loved it so much. And the book really, for someone who wasn't in the food world at all and didn't know anybody and nobody knew me, it really did well. And so, you know, I did get a second book deal and now I'm working on my third cookbook actually. So I was thrilled becauseJust to kind of leave that chicken world behind, although I still have my foot in it. I've had a couple offers to sell my blog. And I'm like, I don't know. You know, that's kind of like my bread and butter still. So I I'm still holding on to that part of it. but the food world is so fun. I've had so much fun.Stephanie Hansen (04:55.276)So you the first book is egg specific. This second book in season is 125 recipes with eggs, but there are other recipes too, a lot of them. How long did this book take?Lisa Steele l (05:09.813)Yeah, vegetables and berries and stuff. so it's been four years since my first book. But for the first two years, like every week, I was bugging my agent. I was like, I want to write another cookbook. Let's write another cookbook. And he said, You can't. You gotta like get some traction, you gotta get some sales, you know. We can pitch one now, but you're not gonna get as good deal as if you have like a track record. We gotta give it some time, right? So that was like the first two years. And then I just kept bugging and I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna start writing another egg cookbook.so I I started doing that. I just started creating recipes and testing them and putting them in my little files and stuff. And then finally, you know, they said, okay, we can pitch another book. And I said, okay, great. I'm like, you know, halfway done. And they said, no, no, not another egg cookbook. Like sequels don't usually do well, whether it's movies, books, whatever it is. you can't write another egg cookbook. So I was like, what the heck am I gonna do? Right. So they they suggested farm to table. And I said, I hate that.that was cool like maybe 20 years ago, but it's like so overdone. Like I just hate that phrase, like the farm to table. Cause I was like, technically everything is farm to table unless you're growing vegetables in a lab, right? Or meat in a lab, whatever. So I was like, I hate that, but that's what they pitched and that what was was bought. So me being me, I was like, well I'm just gonna do what I want to do anyway. So I just kept continuing on. I got the whole egg chapter in there. and then okay.You hire professionals because they know what they're doing. And in the end, I am so glad that they pushed me in that direction because it opened up, like obviously I don't just cook eggs at home, right? You know, so I was like, well, what else do I make? I make sandwiches, I make soups, I make, you know, so I kind of like went through my files and thought about what I ate as a kid. And like it was so freeing not to like have every recipe have to have eggs in it, you know. So Ihad a lot more fun with it than I thought it would. Like once I started really embracing it and being like, okay, I have to use different ingredients, you know, it was a lot of fun.Stephanie Hansen (07:13.866)As you go into the third book now, are you kind of moving away from egg specifics and what is your third book's theme? Have you thought of it?So the the my next book is coming out next September. So once I finished my second book, I said, I don't want to wait another four years. Like we got to keep the ball rolling, we got to keep the momentum going. And they said, Yeah, now you have a track record, you have whatever. So they almost pitched the next book as soon as I finished my second book. So it's coming out next September, like in a year. so it is done, it is almost on its way to the printer, like working on the cover, like we're in that part of it. I mean, I spent the last year and a half, pretty much that was my focus. It is a baking book. so going in kind of a completely different direction, there are a lot of eggs in baking, you know, so kind of I guess, you know, you could say for people who have eggs, it's a great but I was really excited because at heart I'm a baker. I was an accountant.And I think that baking, because it's so precise and there's measurements and ratios and numbers and you follow instructions, like for my accounting mind, baking makes so much more sense. And I I just really love to bake. Like I find it really relaxing because I feel like cooking is like being in a jazz band. You know, they're just like, okay, now you and you're like, like throw in some of this, some of that. Like I don't know what I'm doing, you know, whatever.Stephanie Hansen (08:35.723)Yes, yes.Lisa Steele l (08:55.487)But baking is like, okay, like this is a classical piece. Like this is your part and this is what you do every time. And I just find that so relaxing and calming. So I had a blast and it it's a lot of family recipes. It's a lot of history. It's it's the most personal book to me because it really is going back to like, you know, recipes that I grew up with and, you know, all that kind of stuff. So yep.Stephanie Hansen (09:21.462)I can't wait for that. you are so interesting to me. Like hearing you describe the baking versus the improvisation of just general cooking. I this is why I really don't like baking because it's too regimented for me. I'm kind of a shortcutter. I'm like, well, I don't have dill today, but I have basil, so let's just throw that in. And for me, that basil.Baking like gives me just hives because I'm like, it's so precise. There's only this box, and I can't fit in that box.Lisa Steele l (09:51.58)Well, it's just it's funny too because I am. I mean, asked my husband. He was in the Navy. He is like the disciplined, regimented one. I am like a total free spirit when it comes to life. I fly by the seat of my pants. I don't really make plans. Like a brand will come to me and say, Hey, can you fit us into your like posting calendar? I'm like, What calendar? I don't have a calendar. Or like I just whatever, you know, I wing it. I basically wing life. But I think that's why baking is so calming for me because it is a place where I don'tlike have to be like all chaotic and crazy. And, you know, I just follow the instructions, which is is good for me. But yeah, it doesn't appeal to everyone. yeah, and people so many people don't understand you can't just like make shortcuts. Like, yes, in a soup, if you don't have potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes or a salad. If you don't have pecans, use, you know, walnuts or whatever. but in baking, like like if you don't have like, you know, brown sugar, you can't just go adding honey or likeCan't just make up your own rules, you know.Stephanie Hansen (10:54.232)Can we talk a little bit about reinvention? Because I feel like it's maybe I don't want to be impolite, but you are a woman of a certain age, as am I. And I feel really interested in your transition here because you have really created this whole other life that going from accounting you probably didn't see coming.Lisa Steele l (11:20.649)No, not at all. But I have to say accounting is probably the most boring profession in the world. and I I don't know what I was thinking, because I am very much a free spirit, you know. So to go to school for accounting, but again, I think it was like a safe space. You know, I was like, I understand what accounting is and what it does. And so, you know, it it kind of like grounded me a little bit. but yeah, great. I mean, accounting, and I worked on Wall Street in the 80s, which was probably the most like exciting type of accounting you could do.But even still, I said, you know, I don't want to work in a cubicle like my whole life. That just wasn't me. But now because I do have a brand and a business, I am so thrilled I have an accounting background. Because you like I I I mean, I keep balance sheets and, you know, cost of good soul. And like I I know, you know, profit margins and, you know, finances. And I mean, I don't do my own taxes anymore. I used to, but you know, I have an accountant now. Cause again, professionals, you know, I don't have time to keep up with likeall the latest tax codes and stuff. But accounting is a great like I would suggest for everybody, like anyone who wants to be an influencer or creator or do anything entrepreneurial, at least take a basic accounting class. Like if not in college at like a local community college or in high school, like learn the basis of accounting because it's just it's so important for so many aspects of life.Stephanie Hansen (12:45.826)That's a great piece of advice. when we think about being creators, you know, you have to be good at lots of things. So you are good at writing, you are good at recipe development, are you as good at social media? Are you good at video? Are you thinking about expanding your YouTube channel? Substack. Can you walk me through like some of your silos and how you're getting joy from them and what your strategy?Is or if it's just all free flowing.Lisa Steele l (13:17.301)Yeah, there is not a ton of strategy. I do have to say I don't consider myself an influencer. Like I get email constantly from brands, you know, we want to send you our product and we want you to hold it up and talk for 15 seconds and we'll give you 10% for this code. No, absolutely not. I don't do that. I'm not an influencer. No desire to work for affiliate income or product. You know, when I started out in 2012, it was so much easier because brands would just put a banner at the bottom of my blog and pay me.Like it was basically passive income. And that was the majority of my income was just put a banner at the bottom of the blog. And now social media has made it so labor intensive. Like I think if I worried about the algorithms of all the platforms and what I was supposed to be doing and how I was supposed to be doing it and when, I think the burnout has got to be insane. Especially for the people who aren't aren't earning that much money. You know, I mean, if you're earning a ton of money, then fine, hire somebody to do it. But likeI it it just I can't I can't spend my whole day trying to figure out what Instagram wants or what Facebook wants. Like I was lucky enough to get in early that I have a huge following, but the engagement is terrible. Like the the platforms are saturated and that's kind of why writing books appealed to me because I want to reach people outside of social media. Like I don't it's just too much for me. It's just too loud and too noisy, and I do it because I have to. If it imploded tomorrow.I would be thrilled, you know. I d I do YouTube, I don't do as much as I should. I have videos on there from like ages ago and that. And I've kind of thought about that. but really it doesn't, it doesn't really excite me. I mean, I'm bored with my social media. I probably shouldn't say that, but I'm bored with it. So how can everyone else not be? Like, how can you post? I've posted like I've posted like 30,000 posts on Facebook. LikeStephanie Hansen (15:00.326)Thanks for reading Stephanie Hansen's @StephaniesDish Newsletter! This post is public so feel free to share it.No, I feel you deeply.Lisa Steele l (15:06.533)No one's life is that interesting that they need to post 30,000 posts. And I've gone from posting every hour to posting once a day to posting three times a week. Like nothing matters, nothing unless you pay, nobody sees your stuff, whatever. So I love doing podcasts. I love doing radio shows. I love being interviewed for you know digital publications. I love, you know, just doing things like out in the real world more. and I think it's fooled folly. Anyone who puts all their eggsIn either TikTok or I mean TikTok came so close to going away altogether. If you don't have some kind of hub like a website or a blog or something that is your own platform, that's not a business. You're not a brand. Like it could just evaporate in a second, you know. So you can't you can't put so much and and trying to go viral is also not a business plan. Like if if your whole business plan is trying to post things to go viral, I was onOne of my posts, which the only one who's that's ever gone viral, will to in 17 years. One was how to tell how old eggs are by reading the code on the carton. You know, there's like a little code that tells you when the eggs are put in the carton. It was on Dr. Oz. It was shared by like Rachel Ray and Cosmopolitan and The Delish. It got like 17 million views on Facebook. You know what that earned me?Nothing. You know, so going viral is not a viable business plan either. Like you have to just consistently like do your thing.Stephanie Hansen (16:35.946)It is it is funny. I think I went viral-ish, 250,000 views for a video that I took of dragonflies in my garden. I was standing in the garden, all of a sudden I realized I was in like a hatch of of dragonflies, and it was very beautiful. And I filmed and it was like a 20-second video, and I have no makeup on and I'm just filming these beautiful dragonflies. And I posted that andThat was like the most traction I'd ever gotten on a video. So I was like, huh, I wonder if this will move the needle at all. At the end of that month, when I got my check from Facebook for being an influencer on Facebook, it was $33. And it was just, it made me laugh. It was like, gosh, for all the chasing that you do of content and of likes andThis one thing that I just automatically did ‘cause it was beautiful and interesting, it and it barely moved the needle of anything. What is all this brain space that we're giving to this beast?Lisa Steele l (17:40.349)Yeah. PeopleYeah. People are not making sure there are people that are making millions of dollars and all that, but most people are not making as much as people probably think they are.Stephanie Hansen (17:56.503)Yeah, I think that's so true. Tell me a little bit about some of your favorite recipes in the book. Yeah. Completely exhausting.Lisa Steele l (17:58.63)And it's exhausting, totally exhausting. Yeah. yeah. So probably and back just before we move on, back to your point. I mean, I can spend first of all, cooking videos are intensely labor intensive. Like, so you can spend all day doing a 30 second recipe video. I can go outside with my camera and point it at the chickens for 30 seconds and it gets much better engagement. So the amount of time and effort you put inIs not it doesn't correlate to how well it's gonna do. So it's it's just all confusing to me. SoStephanie Hansen (18:34.881)Yep.Lisa Steele l (18:37.339)Okay, so yes, favorite recipe. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (18:37.908)So back to the book, if you could tell me.Lisa Steele l (18:43.429)So two months ago, I would have said the salad chapter was my favorite. I know salads are not not really what we want to be talking about right now. but I I never really liked salads until I started creating them myself and putting all kinds of interesting things in them, you know, like berries and nuts and cheese and all that. But since salads aren't really you know, what's trending right now, I would say that the peach Caprese grilled cheese sandwich.is one of my favorite. I love stone fruits. and I also did like a grilled apricot like Caprese salad with either mozzarella, a barata, some balsamics, some honey, maybe some herb oil. I really like that, like combining like the sweet and the savory.Stephanie Hansen (19:30.05)Yum.Lisa Steele l (19:33.408)Yeah, thing just kind of unexpected, like you wouldn't expect. You know, like take an ingredient and swap it out and make something new.Stephanie Hansen (19:43.791)One thing that really intrigued me, well, there were a couple of recipes that I liked. The glazed cardamom peach quick bread. I love cardamom being of the north. That's a seasoning that is pretty Scandinavian and feels near and dear to me. But having peaches and a quick bread, I really liked that. tell me, there's pictures of the ingredients here, but not a picture of the finished bread. Is that like more like a zucchini type density, a zucchini bread type density?It is. It's it's like a quick bread. And you that's it's funny you should mention that. you can have a photo of every recipe in your cookbook, and invariably you will get a review on Amazon of someone saying, I wish there was a photo of every recipe. Or for my first cookbook, I I think there's a recipe a photo for almost every recipe. And someone reviewed and said, There's not a re a photo for every recipe. So I doubt she's ever even made these. And I was like, What? I mean, first of all, photography is incredibly expensive.And secondly, some things just don't photograph well. Or this the spacing, like there's books have to be in like pages have to be in sets of four just because of the way, you know, books are made. And when it comes to editing, like stuff gets left on the cutting room floor, you know. So the peach bread, actually funny story, because I've made that a bunch of times. for the photo shoot, they made it and it just didn't work. For whatever reason, it was just a disaster. And the time is scheduled so fat, so like.Lisa Steele l (21:09.166)they can't go back and start over because they got to move on to the next recipe, right? So we were like, shoot, like we have no photo. And of course the photos I take are too low res. Like they wouldn't be high enough resolution for a cookbook because I was like, I have it. Like I've made it a million times. Here's my photo, you know? So they fortunately they had taken kind of a beauty shot of the ingredients. So I was like, well let's just use that because everyone kind of knows what a quick bread looks like, you know. but this next cookbook too, there was a cheesecake and thephotographer was bringing it over to the table to, you know, set it where she was going to photograph it. And they had all the garnishes ready and the silus came in with the garnishes and the cheesecake slid off of the cake plate onto the floor. And I mean, completely destroyed. And again, they I mean it had to chill. So like they don't have time to go back and start it over. And so fortunately we did the photo shoot in two sections. So next month we're doingthe final photo shoot. So they're gonna have to make it again. But like you you just have to keep moving on. Like stuff happens and you can't, you know, so sometimes things end up with no rest no photo. But yeah, it's basically a quick bread. And you could use cherries, you could use plums, you could use apples, you could use like whatever you wanted.Stephanie Hansen (22:23.852)Yeah, I liked that recipe. Another one that appealed to me was the roasted grapes with walnuts feta rosemary. Roasting grapes is sort of underrated. Why don't we roast grapes more?Stephanie Hansen's @StephaniesDish Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Lisa Steele l (22:35.319)Same reason we don't grill things. I mean, the grilled apricots or grilled peaches, like when you grill or roast fruits, like it brings out the sugars, they caramelize. those, they're just delicious. And like I love on a charcuterie board to put those grapes because it is something that's like unexpected. You know, people are like, what's that? You know, something a little different.Stephanie Hansen (22:58.752)Yeah, and super pretty. Well, Lisa, I am a big fan of your books. I appreciate spending time with you today. I do not have chickens, but I'm chicken aspirational and you usually kind of start that inspiration in me. I don't think I'll ever do it, but I do scan your your videos and I go to your page. And I think if I ever was gonna do chickens, I'd start by deep diving into Lisa Steele, because you know so much about chickens.Lisa Steele l (23:24.385)you're funny. Yeah, yeah, I do. We've known this a long time, but yeah, I'm thrilled to move into the yeah, yeah. But the food world has been so much fun. And I it's just, you know, the thing people like make your recipes, you know, it's it and it's just creative. You know, I I definitely am like a type A, you know, short attention span kind of person. So there's so many aspects to writing the cookbooks thatStephanie Hansen (23:30.038)Yeah, you're you're the ultimate expert on chickens.Lisa Steele l (23:50.62)It keeps me busy and occupied like for two years, which is great, you know. So been fun.Stephanie Hansen (23:57.996)I love it. Yeah, well, thanks for joining me today. I will put a link to the books in the show notes. I'll put a link to your blog so that people can find you. And when the new book comes out, make sure to put me on your list. I do want to compliment you two on the packaging of your book. You do a beautiful job.Lisa Steele l (24:17.313)the again, another aspect, the like the influencer boxes. It's so much fun to come up with little things and brands have been so generous, you know, donating things. And that's the kind of brand work I love to do, like things that are a little bit different. but yeah, brands have been very generous. And this this third cookbook, I definitely want to come back and talk to you about because I think it's gonna be right up your alley. And there's a lot of cardamom in it, is all I'm gonna say. So I think you're gonna love it.Stephanie Hansen (24:45.322)Okay, I love it. Thank you so much, Lisa.

In this episode Sarah Stankorb joins me to talk about Damned If She Does and the sixteen million American women who have walked away from the church in the last decade. Sarah is a journalist who covers religion, and someone who left herself, and she argues that women leaving isn't a side story but a signal we have about where American faith is going. We follow the threads back decades, sort through what the numbers do and don't show, and talk about what women are finding after they go. Some have left faith entirely. Some are still following Jesus without the institution. Sarah Stankorb is a journalist, essayist, and author. Hundreds of her pieces have been featured in publications including: VICE, ELLE, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Republic, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and others. The award-winning writer tends to break taboos, offering women a platform to discuss the quiet hurts and joys that define their lives. Stankorb's beat spans religion, politics, gender, and power, but is informed by questions of basic morality. Sarah was born in Youngstown, Ohio, and often found escape in books. She studied world religions and philosophy at Westminster College, and a chance to study abroad in Northern Ireland and then Israel further opened her eyes to how faith (and conflict) can shape people's everyday existence. She earned her master's degree from the University of Chicago's Divinity School, where she studied ethics and South Asian religion and history. She's more fun than all this sounds.Sarah lives in Ohio with her husband and two children, and she writes regularly about the quirks of American faith for her Substack, In Polite Company.Sarah's Book:Damned if She DoesSarah's Recommendation:The ConspiracistsThe MagiciansConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

John Searles joins Book Gang to dish on his new novel Single Girls, inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the women who transformed Cosmopolitan magazine. We welcome John Searles to Book Gang for a heartfelt conversation about his historical fiction novel, Single Girls—a story inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the trailblazing women behind Cosmopolitan. Drawing on his years as an editor at Cosmo and his deep admiration for Helen, he brings readers behind the scenes of the magazine's revolutionary 1960s makeover. Together, we explore the mix of nostalgia, ambition, and feminist history that animates this witty, unconventional story of women's work and self-discovery. Single Girls follows Helen Gurley Brown as she assembles a team of unforgettable women to take on a skeptical publishing world, reshaping Cosmo and, in the process, the lives of millions of single women. Through playful structure, shifting points of view, and the signature Cosmo quizzes and glossaries, John immerses readers in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic world of magazine publishing and female empowerment. In this lively episode, we discuss:

In 1947, the Army announced it had recovered a crashed "flying disc" near Roswell, then reversed itself within a day — a contradiction the Air Force didn't explain until 1994, when it revealed a classified spy program called Project Mogul. Roswell wasn't even the first: unidentified wreckage and bodies had been turning up for decades before it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/RoswellWasntFirstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that's wrong.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a classified Cold War balloon program in the New Mexico desert to a Canadian valley littered with decapitated bodies, a Victorian child's glass coffin dug up in a San Francisco backyard, a Green Beret convicted of butchering his own family, and a seventeenth-century alchemist tortured for the secret of turning lead into gold.It opens with the 1947 Roswell crash, tracing how rancher W.W. "Mac" Brazel's discovery of wreckage on his Lincoln County property led Colonel William Blanchard's Roswell Army Air Field to announce the capture of a "flying disc," only for the Army to reverse itself within days and blame a weather balloon, complete with staged photos of Major Jesse Marcel posing with the debris. The story follows the account through the U.S. Air Force's 1994 admission that the wreckage actually came from Project Mogul, a secret high-altitude balloon array built to detect Soviet atomic tests, and its 1997 explanation that reported alien bodies were fallen parachute test dummies, then weighs those official conclusions against UFO researcher Donald Schmitt's objections and journalist Annie Jacobsen's competing claim that the crash involved deformed children deployed by Joseph Stalin and designed by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.From there, the episode moves through six UFO crash reports that predate Roswell by decades, including an 1897 cigar-shaped craft said to have destroyed Judge Proctor's windmill in Aurora, Texas, and left a small humanoid body buried in the local cemetery; an 1862 wreck witnessed by shipwrecked sailors from the vessel Christine on a deserted Indian Ocean island, where they found twelve-foot-tall bodies with bronze beards; a UFO crash near Stavropol, Russia, whose three survivors reportedly died from being unable to breathe Earth's atmosphere; a 1941 crash in the Carolinas recovered by the U.S. Army during a military exercise involving soldier Guy Simeone; an 1884 debris field of gear-like metal fragments found by rancher John Ellis in Dundy County, Nebraska; and a wartime British crash investigated by journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, who died shortly after publishing claims that the recovered craft's crew stood under four feet tall.Next, the story shifts to Canada's Nahanni Valley, where at least 44 people have died or vanished since 1908, beginning with prospector brothers Willie and Frank McLeod, whose headless skeletons were found at their camp two years after they disappeared, and continuing through the decapitations of Swiss prospector Martin Jorgenson and outlaw "Yukon" Fisher, the mysterious cabin fire that killed Phil Powers, and the vanishing of Annie Laferte, who was later spotted wandering naked and disoriented near the Flat River — deaths locals attribute variously to the legendary Naha tribe, the valley's hot sulphur springs, or predators, while Dene oral history holds that the warlike Naha people simply disappeared without explanation.The episode then turns to 2016, when a construction crew remodeling John and Ericka Karner's San Francisco home unearthed a 19th-century glass-and-cast-iron coffin containing the preserved body of a toddler, later identified through DNA testing led by genealogist Elissa Davey as Edith Howard Cook, who died of malnutrition in 1876 and was accidentally left behind when San Francisco's Odd Fellows Cemetery was relocated to Colma in the 1930s — a discovery the Karner family says ended years of unexplained footsteps they'd heard from a toddler no longer in the house.From there, the story follows former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald, convicted of stabbing his pregnant wife Colette and daughters Kimberly and Kristen to death at Fort Bragg in 1970 after claiming a blonde intruder chanting about acid and "pigs" oversaw the killings, an account investigators concluded was staged using details from the recent Manson Family murders; the case follows his decades of appeals, including the 1983 bestseller "A Fatal Vision" that branded him a psychopath and filmmaker Errol Morris's later book arguing the evidence against him was mishandled.The episode closes with the story of Alexander Seton, a secretive Scottish alchemist known as the Cosmopolitan, who in 1602 convinced skeptical Swiss professor Wolfgang Drenheim that he had transmuted lead into gold using nothing but a wrapped powder and a goldsmith's crucible in Fribourg. Seton's success drew the attention of Emperor Rudolf II and later trapped him in the custody of Christian II, Elector of Saxony, who had him pierced with iron spikes and burned with molten lead in an attempt to force him to reveal his formula; Seton escaped in 1603 with the help of his friend Michael Sendivogius but died a broken man soon after, and the alchemical text he was said to have written, the Book of Twelve Chapters, was destroyed, leaving his method lost.
