Send us a text Could belly support bands, kino tape, belly wraps etc. be the hidden key to postpartum recovery? What about wearing one during your pregnancy, will that actually help prevent diastasis recti/pelvic girdle pain etc? In today's episode, I discuss the real deal with taping and belly bands during pregnancy. Despite their popularity, there's a lack of evidence to suggest they prevent diastasis recti; instead, strengthening exercises prove to be the more effective method. I talk about what they do help with, how you should use one and what you should be looking for if you're looking to buy one.I also tackle the widespread claim that oats, brewer's yeast (and other supplements) are the answer to increased breastmilk production. The conversation doesn't end there – we dive into the emotional whirlpool that new mothers face, especially the fear of not producing enough breast milk; a concern for a staggering 76% of mothers, according to a survey. I examine the reliability of this statistic and the societal pressure to steer clear of formula supplementation. Here's the link to the brewer's yeast study.I also talk about Geraldine DeRuiter's highly anticipated book "If You Can't Take the Heat,". This is one that I'm really looking forward to reading when it comes out, and when I clear the HUGE stack of books on my bedside table.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

This week the Real Friends share food memories (who said Beggin' Strips were only for dogs?) and talk feminism as they discuss If You Can't Take The Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury by Geraldine DeRuiter. If You Can't Take the Heat by Geraldine DeRuiter Courtney: People come and go- food is forever. …until you eat it I suppose… Mary Paige: You can't use pizza dough for cinnamon rolls, okay.  Erica: A book of essays to rule them all!!! Read along with us! Coming up next:  ~Summer Break~ September: Bride by Alli Hazelwood October: TBD November: TBD Check out our website, RealFriendsBookClub.com!!

Do you ever think of what you eat as being political? Back in 2017, celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual misconduct allegations made against him and infamously included a recipe—for pizza dough cinnamon rolls. Shortly after Batali's recipe, went viral, Popular blogger Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe and then she wrote about it. Her subsequent essay, which documented each step of her cinnamon roll preparation but also tackled topics like misogyny in the food world, was read millions of times, lauded by industry luminaries such as Martha Stewart, and landed DeRuiter in the middle of an unanticipated media firestorm. Who knew dessert could be so controversial? If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury is DeRuiter's new essay collection. The James Beard Award–winning blogger behind The Everywhereist addresses an array of topics, from being “hangry” to receiving death threats to meal-planning for the apocalypse. If You Can't Take the Heat aims to connect the broader culture to the culinary. This event may interest those curious about how patriarchy, pop culture, and plated dishes intersect, or who are just seeking some levity. Geraldine DeRuiter is the James Beard Award-winning blogger behind The Everywhereist and the author of All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The New Yorker's Daily Shouts, Marie Claire, and Refinery 29. She lives in Seattle with her husband, Rand, and the two of them are developing a culinary-themed video game. Scott Heimendinger is an inventor, culinary technologist, and the founder of Seattle Ultrasonics, as well as a former JBFA judge and a member of the Sous Vide Hall of Fame.

Today's guest, Geraldine DeRuitter won the James Beard Award for Journalism in 2019 for a post she typed out in about 45 minutes. Before that, her blog The Everywhereist, had already topped Time magazine's choice of best blogs in America.  Geraldine's latest book is titled, If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Feminism, Food, and Fury and having read it in just a few sittings, I'll add that they are also tales of deep vulnerability which provoked strong responses from me, in the form of scribbled notes in the margins and a list of questions about 4x longer than we were able to discuss.  Geraldine is on par with the funniest writers I've ever read. However, rather than just saying that Geraldine is funny, I really want to say she's a humorist (if that's a word). While many people are born funny, I'm hoping that calling Geraldine a humorist will give you a sense of just how finely Geraldine has tuned her talent, how sharply she's honed her craft. Not only did I laugh out loud throughout the book, but the angrier parts were sharper, the sad parts were sadder, and the (rare) sentimental parts touched me even more deeply because of Geraldine's wit and humor.  In addition to all of this, Geraldine gave me, hands down, the hardest recipe I've ever made (and if you've been following this podcast for a while, you know I'm not afraid of a challenge)! Although we had to discuss the recipe in a later call, I'm beginning the interview with our discussion of Nesselrode Pie, which I'm happy to share was a total success, technically and taste-wise. Friends arrived for dinner just as I finished photographing the pie. They all enjoyed a piece before dinner (since, obviously, dinner was running late, and there were plates full of pie in front of them.) The fact that they also gratefully accepted another piece after dinner tells you all you need to know about this creamy, boozy, vintage cherry pie!

Author Geraldine DeRuiter reached the dizzying heights of publishing her first book, then experienced the more muted satisfaction of her second. She's grappled with the realization that external achievements can't resolve core belief of not being "good enough." We contemplate the limitations of external accomplishments in solving our deepest insecurities and the importance of recognizing and appreciating moments of success, even as the goalposts continually move. We cover the profound impact of childhood experiences on our adult drives and fears, the double-edged sword of ambition and the transformative power of vulnerability and human connection.

Geraldine has started not one, but two international controversies with her blog "The Everywhereist." A three-time guest on Copper & Heat, we first chatted with her 5 years ago about imposter syndrome after winning a James Beard Award for her blog post about Mario Batali's cinnamon rolls, and then again 2 years ago after her blog post about her disastrous meal at Bros in Italy went viral. Geraldine's new book, "If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food Feminism, and Fury" explores themes similar to those in her viral blog posts about the systemic challenges of being a woman working in food. In this interview, we talk about the challenges faced by women and non-binary individuals and the importance of speaking out against injustice. Geraldine shares her experiences with her viral blog post about Bros and the subsequent New York Times article, highlighting the biases and dismissive attitudes she encountered. The conversation delves into the pressure to perform a personal brand, as well as the experience of imposter syndrome.  For more from Geraldine: Buy her new bookHer websiteHer Instagram  |  Threads

In this episode we discuss: Promoting a book The story behind If You Can't Take The Heat Dealing with internet trolls Creativity Geraldine's Links If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury The blog where it all started, I Made the Pizza Cinnamon Rolls from Mario Batali's Sexual Misconduct Apology Letter Geraldine's review of Bros, Lecce All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft Other Links Lunchtime Learning in Belfast Geraldine DeRuiter Geraldine DeRuiter is an acclaimed author, world-renowned public speaker, and the voice behind the award-winning Everywhereist blog. She finds it very difficult to be self-promotional, so she hopes that you understand how hard that last sentence was for her to write. Time magazine named Everywhereist one of their blogs of the year in 2011. Her memoir, All Over the Place, was published in 2017. While ostensibly a travel writer, Geraldine also writes about dessert, feminism, and Jeff Goldblum's entire filmography. TIME Magazine described her work as “consistently clever” and The New York Times said her writing was “dark and hilarious”. Her blog has received accolades from The Independent, Forbes Magazine, and The Huffington Post, because sometimes features editors get drunk. When not on the road with her long-suffering and infinitely patient husband, Rand, Geraldine can be found in Seattle, usually fighting with people on the internet.

Could belly support bands, kino tape, belly wraps etc. be the hidden key to postpartum recovery? What about wearing one during your pregnancy, will that actually help prevent diastasis recti/pelvic girdle pain etc? In today's episode, I discuss the real deal with taping and belly bands during pregnancy. Despite their popularity, there's a lack of evidence to suggest they prevent diastasis recti; instead, strengthening exercises prove to be the more effective method. I talk about what they do help with, how you should use one and what you should be looking for if you're looking to buy one.I also tackle the widespread claim that oats, brewer's yeast (and other supplements) are the answer to increased breastmilk production. The conversation doesn't end there – we dive into the emotional whirlpool that new mothers face, especially the fear of not producing enough breast milk; a concern for a staggering 76% of mothers, according to a survey. I examine the reliability of this statistic and the societal pressure to steer clear of formula supplementation. Here's the link to the brewer's yeast study.I also talk about Geraldine DeRuiter's highly anticipated book "If You Can't Take the Heat,". This is one that I'm really looking forward to reading when it comes out, and when I clear the HUGE stack of books on my bedside table.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

“When you're in debt to the truth, the interest rate sucks.” That's just one of many so-true-it-hurts gems in Rand Fishkin's 2018 book Lost and Founder, an accounting of his leadership journey through the often-Faustian bargain of building a company through venture funding, for all but a select few types of start-ups who do benefit from that route. In this conversation, he shares why he dislikes the term lifestyle business, how he views some of his biggest business regrets in hindsight, his definition of chill work, and how he's building his new business through open-sourced angel funding (and profit sharing) with a Delightfully Tiny Team of three. More About Rand: Rand Fishkin is the co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, makers of fine audience research software. He's dedicated his professional life to helping people do better marketing through his writing, videos, speaking, and his book, Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World. When Rand's not working, he's usually cooking a fancy meal for the love of his life, author Geraldine DeRuiter. If you bribe him with great pasta or fancy cocktails, he'll pull back the curtain on big tech's dark secrets.

What does the popularity of culinary foam say about the types of food – and the kinds of chefs – we value?When Geraldine DeRuiter wrote about her meal at “the worst Michelin starred restaurant, ever,” she didn't expect to start a global controversy. The tasting menu she had at Bros, in Lecce, Italy, was a bizarre, avant garde dining experience, the pinnacle being the “Chef's Kiss” dish, a plaster cast of a mouth with foam dripping out of it. What followed was a whole conversation online about the nature of food as art, the role of a chef, and the pretentiousness of fine dining. And as we dug in more, we started to see how the “Chef's Kiss” was not just a ridiculous dish on a bizarre menu, but how foam was a metaphor for the flaws of fine dining and the toxicity of the “abusive genius” chef. You can find Geraldine:Twitter | Instagram | FacebookOn her blogBuy her book To read more about the international culinary incident:Geraldine's original blog post and her follow upThe story from Today with Floriano's “Man on a Horse” responseOf Mouth Molds and Michelin Stars: Chef Finds Fame After Epic Takedown: Panned by a prominent blogger, the Italian restaurant Bros' and its celebrity chef became a global target for critics of pretentious cuisine.

On this episode of Cyberpunk Summer, we are discussing TRON, a 1982 adventure film directed by Steven Lisberger and starring Jeff Bridges as a software engineer-turned-arcade owner, who is corporeally transported into cyberspace by a power-hungry computer program. Anita and Kat are joined by acclaimed author, public speaker, and travel writer, Geraldine DeRuiter, to sift through the film's convoluted plot, and perhaps more importantly, its legacy as one of the earliest movies to use computer-generated animation and groundbreaking technology. Note: Enjoy this episode of the podcast as a video at patreon.com/femfreq or on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/3VaUZ0luumITime Stamps:49:23 - What's your Freq Out?Kat on the “What I Want” music video by MUNAAnita on the movie Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of MadnessGeraldine on the series Our Flag Means DeathLinks Mentioned:Roger Ebert's review: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tron-1982Kat's freq out: https://youtu.be/ysQl74R_TogFind Geraldine:https://twitter.com/everywhereisteverywhereist.comFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm P

Host Liam Leonard is excited to bring a fellow Seattle businessman on the show to share his experience dropping out of school to pursue a life of entrepreneurship. Guest Rand Fishkin also talks about rejecting what you've been taught to want and instead focusing on what truly makes you happy–a life that likely won't involve a focus on 80 hour work weeks, the hustle culture, and your business's number of hires.3 Key TakeawaysWorking a full 70 hour work week is likely taking from your productivity next week. According to Rand, the first 15 hours you work are the most productive. You DON'T need to suffer to become a great entrepreneur. Instead, focus on sharing your experiences with others to elevate the both of you. It is your responsibility to give venture partners an increase in value each year. This doesn't mean you owe the banks money, but consider investing back into the business. Resourcessparktoro.comRand's TwitterRand's book: Lost and FounderAbout Rand FishkinRand Fishkin is cofounder and CEO of SparkToro, makers of fine audience research software.
