Both Lisa and Muireann Wynne have nursed for an extensive period of time and both hold senior positions within Qld Health in their respective areas. Lisa in education and Muireann in management. Together they developed a business that offers a myriad of services to help nurses grow professionally, obtain that next position, learn valuable interview skills and write an impactful resume. We talk about the little things that can make a huge difference in having a successful job interview and believe me, it's the little things that are noted!

It's a radically healthy take on the classic American burger joint. They've got grass-fed beef tallow in their deep fryer (just like McDonald's used to do it back in the day!) and of course their beef is 100% grass-fed; even their burger buns are gluten free. The concept is an offshoot of their first restaurant venture, Springbone Kitchen, which was an early leader in the bone broth movement. They now have 8 Springbone locations around the NYC area which are doing amazing. They used to serve a burger at their original location which was insanely popular, but they realized that to do anything well in this business you need to be a specialist. So they axed the burger and hoped to come back and do it right one day. Well that day is now!

This week, we are revisiting some of OBP's most joyous interviews starting with Farai's conversation with two publishers of color, Elizabeth Méndez Berry, vice president and executive editor at One World, an imprint at Penguin Random House, and Lisa Lucas, senior vice president and publisher at Pantheon and Schocken Books on celebrating the work of BIPOC authors and critics. Then public health professionals and sisters Nilufar Kayhani and Nazineen Kandahari share the inspiration and beauty behind starting the Afghan Clinic, an online space that serves the health needs of fellow Afghans. Farai then speaks with Rue Mapp, founder of Outdoor Afro, about finding joy in the great outdoors and encouraging others to do the same. And in the weekly roundtable Sippin' the Political Tea, Farai talks with fellow women of color journalists, S. Mitra Kalita, founder and publisher of Epicenter NYC, and Jenni Monet, CEO of URL Media and author of newsletter Indigenously about what it means to identify as women of color and why identifying as one can evoke both personally powerful and political implications.
When we started planning this episode, we thought we'd talk about the books we turn to for relaxation—the books that bring us moments of zen and let us find a sense of calm. But when we actually sat down with our guests—Lisa Lucas, publisher at Pantheon and Schocken Books, and Jynne Dilling Martin, deputy publisher at Riverhead Books—we realized that when the world is stressing us out, we turn to all sorts of book to help us decompress. So instead, this episode has a little bit of everything: non-fiction books that help us make sense of it all, sci-fi books that help us escape from it all, as well as poetry collections, comedies, fun romps, and so much more.

“I don't have time to worry about what other people think of me. Because the ones that really care about me are behind me, egging me on.” Yep, Lisa Lucas doesn't care what you think about her. It's not because of ego, or that she has a thick skin. It's not even because she's so busy kicking ass as a mum and Nurse of the Year. It's because she's learned to love all parts of herself, unconditionally, and is grateful - even for those bits, she didn't want to own. Listen in to this week's episode of Dorothy and the Dealer to find out how her time with MJB Seminars has led to changes in her finances, marriage, parenting, and more! And how you too, can learn not to put stock in what others think of you - and start loving yourself.
As temperatures begin to warm up and we start picturing the lazy park hangs and beach days in store for us this summer, our minds have already started whirring at the reading possibilities. Over the past year, we've turned to reading as both an escape from our current world and a way to explore without leaving home. While we'll be a bit more mobile this summer, our love for books hasn't changed, so we've once again tapped Jynne Dilling Martin associate publisher at Riverhead Books, and Lisa Lucas, senior vice president and publisher of Pantheon and Schocken Books, to help craft the ultimate summer reading list of books written by women. Whether you're itching for a Greek myth retelling, a workplace thriller, a deep dive into the natural world, or a novel about a cannibalistic food writer, we've got you covered. Here's a full list of what we talked about: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard The Hard Crowd by Rachel Kushner A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel Salvation City, by Sigrid Nunez Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter by Ali Smith Sisters by Daisy Johnson Circe and Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris Matrix by Lauren Groff Seek You by Kristen Radtke Intimacies by Katie Kitamura No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood Find a full transcription of the episode here: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/the-books-we-cant-stop-talking-about-right-now-women-who-travel-podcast Follow Jynne: @jynnne Follow Lisa: @likaluca Follow Lale: @lalehannah Follow Meredith: @ohheytheremere Follow Women Who Travel: @womenwhotravel All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors.

Reading is solitary. But then again, it’s not. Lisa Lucas, executive director of the National Book Foundation, says in a PBS NewsHour interview, “Even though we think of reading as something that we do alone in our rooms by ourselves, we talk about books, and we take the ideas that we learn from books … and we bring them to our conversations.” What we read shapes us and the way we view and interact with the world. So what about classic literature? Most people read it in high school – and then forget about it. What might have gotten missed that could speak to this moment? Tuesday, MPR News host Kerri Miller and two dangerously well-read women discussed which classics should be on your list, as well as what classics can teach us about living. Guests: Karen Swallow Prior is research professor of English and Christianity and culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of many books, including “On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books.” Sarah Rafael García is a writer and the owner of LibroMobile in Santa Ana, Calif.

When we set about creating today’s episode, we knew we wanted to explore the idea of gratitude with several authors. What we could not have anticipated is how thoughtful and gracious they were. In our first segment, we speak with Lisa Lucas about what we experience physiologically when we express gratitude and how we can incorporate gratitude into our classroom and daily lives. Next, Gravity Goldberg and Renee Houser discuss how gratitude is embedded in their teaching and its role within a growth mindset.
