Often, our most important growth comes from letting go of who we think we're supposed to be. And for many women, their 40s can be a transformative decade of reexamining long-held expectations and getting closer to who they really are. In this episode of Finding Brave, I have the pleasure of sitting down with journalist and author Stacey Lindsay to explore why this often misunderstood decade deserves a more honest and deep exploration. Stacey is the author of the new book Being 40: The Decade of Letting Go—and Embracing Who We Are and a senior editor at Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper. Through extensive research and personal reflection, Stacey explores why the 40s can be such a pivotal decade for women. In our conversation, Stacey shares what inspired her to write the book and why she became fascinated by women's experiences in their 40s. I'm truly honored to be featured in Stacey's important and eye-opening book. Today we discuss the courage required to tell the truth about our lives, the challenges of letting go of societal pressures, and the reality that this stage of life can be both difficult and deeply liberating. We explore the many transitions that often converge during this decade, from changing bodies and evolving careers to caregiving responsibilities and shifting personal priorities. Stacey also reflects on the importance of reconnecting with ourselves, embracing vulnerability, and finding comfort in the stories of others. At its heart, this conversation is about giving ourselves permission to live more authentically and release the expectations that no longer serve us.  Tune in for an insightful and uplifting discussion about aging, identity, and what it means to fully embrace who you are becoming.

I think the feminist movement goes through a different wave every day, right? We take three steps forward, two steps back, all of us, but we persevere." — Stacey Lindsay [0:12:51] "When we really look at the things that we've been carrying that never served us and will never serve us—ideas about how we should look, how we should be, how we should mother, how we should act—when we start to put those down, I found we actually free up a lot more energy to put toward our strength, to face the hard stuff, and then find more joy." — Stacey Lindsay [0:18:27] "Another thing I deeply hope somebody takes from this book is a companionship with oneself, ultimately. We can become cleaved from ourselves in many ways when we are checking all the boxes, thinking we're doing all the right things." — Stacey Lindsay [0:21:13] "What has gotten me closer to myself is the company of another woman's story. Sometimes that's through a movie, sometimes that's through a book, many times [it's] through a Mary Oliver poem." — Stacey Lindsay [0:21:45] "I finally embraced the fact that this is who I am, this is how I am, this is the way I operate. I don't want to apologize anymore. There's this radical coolness about this decade." — Stacey Lindsay [0:33:15] Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

I found Emma through Maria Shriver's newsletter, and her words stopped me cold:"I no longer want more. I want to be wild."I felt my whole body exhale. Because I knew exactly what she meant. The TED Talks, the books, the funnels, the coaching groups, I had all of it. And so did Emma. And somewhere underneath all of it, we both heard the same quiet voice saying: this isn't it.This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt that way.Meet Emma TynanEmma Tynan is an Irish writer whose work explores belonging, the inner life, and contemplative practice through lived experience. She lives in the Pacific Northwest and is currently writing her first book, Brave Words. She also facilitates international luxury retreats in devotion to St. Mary Magdalene, and before all of this, she founded an international life coaching company that served thousands of students worldwide for over a decade.What We Get IntoClosing a decade-long business in a single afternoon. Emma got her name on the office door and two weeks later heard four words rise up within her, standing outside her son's school: give me everything. She sent the emails that same day.Her son Eli and the gift inside the unexpected. Emma's youngest is autistic. His becoming was an invitation to grieve, surrender, and release everything she thought life was supposed to look like. She homeschooled him for a year, with hot chocolates, forest walks, and a chalkboard in the dining room. She'd do it ten times over.Distraction disguised as productivity. Years of funnels and Facebook ads, chasing the next strategy while a voice in her heart kept saying the same thing: write the book. I felt this in my bones.Mary Magdalene and reclaiming what's true. Emma's work centers on restoring Mary Magdalene's real story, scholar, apostle, prophet, not the fiction she was branded with for centuries. In Ireland, this history is not abstract. It's in the bones of the culture.What wildness really means. Not resistance. Belonging. The part of us we were taught to tame, that's the part that knows who we really are.Quotes I'm Still Thinking About✨"It was distraction disguised as productivity and scaling and growth."✨"The thing you're most afraid to admit that's the thing that's going to liberate you."✨"The tendrils of my soul want to touch the real earth to move not outward, but inward."Her writing will move you. I promise.

So much of what women contend with during divorce is really intense grief. Sometimes they don't name it that or even realize that's what's happening, but that is what's happening. Barri Leiner Grant, founder and Chief Grief Officer™ of The Memory Circle, is back with me to keep the conversation going about grieving before, during, and after divorce. For those new to Barri, her community and creative space is created for those learning to live with loss. She's a highly respected grief specialist, writer, coach, and educator, and she leads transformative gatherings, retreats, and workshops that explore grief tending tools, rituals, and practices that foster connection, healing, and hope. In this conversation, Barri and I get into why we're still such a grief-denying society when it comes to non-death loss, and we spend a good chunk of time on rituals. Because here's the thing: there is no funeral for a divorce. No burial, nothing formal. So we talk about how women can make their own. Like burying a copy of your decree (just not the only one, you'll need it). Lighting a candle on the anniversary. Writing yourself a letter. Painting the inside of your front door hot pink. Getting the tattoo. Whatever helps you name the loss, move the energy, and reclaim the space. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why women become their own judge and jury about naming non-death loss (1:54) Why grieving a divorce feels confusing even if you're the one who asked for it, and why the future you imagined is still a real loss (3:26) What Barri's own divorce (layered on top of losing her mom) taught her about asking for support (5:06) Why writing is one of the most accessible grief tending tools (20:02) Grief tending, self-compassion, and why it's not a just bath with salts (26:26) Why making your own ritual matters when the culture doesn't give you one (33:20) Learn more about Barri Leiner Grant: Barri Leiner Grant is a highly respected grief specialist, author and founder of The Memory Circle, a creative and healing space for remembrance and ritual. Barri brings a distinct aesthetic sensibility to the field of grief work—bridging beauty and healing in ways that feel modern, personal, and deeply human. She is the creator of Permission Granted, a widely read Substack newsletter that invites readers to navigate loss with honesty, tenderness, and earned wisdom. Barri is recognized for her unique approach to grief support, which combines writing storytelling, ritual and community to help people mark loss with intention and carry memories forward with care. Sought after as a speaker, collaborator, and guide, Barri is redefining how we talk about grief. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, Psychology Today, Maria Shriver's Sunday paper and award winning podcasts.

Maria Shriver, the Peabody- and Emmy-award winning journalist, producer and best-selling author, sits down with Oprah to share inspiring quotations, prayers and reflections featured in her number one New York Times best-selling book "I've Been Thinking...: Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life." Oprah and Maria discuss their nearly 40-year friendship and the lessons they both learned from Maria's mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Maria looks back on the personal challenges she's experienced, including how she found the strength to navigate her mother's death and the grief that came afterward. Maria speaks candidly about growing up as a member of the powerful Kennedy family, and opens up about seeking her own passion and purpose beyond the legacy of her famous forebears. Maria is the founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement, a nonprofit committed to researching why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease and, in so doing, finding a cure.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Ariane de Bonvoisin (@arianedebonvoisin), author of Spirit Mama, to explore the deeper connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the fertility journey. Ariane shares her personal story from corporate success to navigating fertility challenges including miscarriage and IVF, and how it led her to redefine what it means to become a mother. We discuss the hidden emotional patterns like control, perfection, and self-judgment, and how awareness of these can create powerful shifts. We also dive into reconnecting with the body, trusting your inner voice, and cultivating a relationship with something greater than yourself. This conversation offers a more compassionate, holistic perspective for anyone feeling like something is missing from the conventional fertility approach. Key Takeaways:  Fertility is not just physical; emotional and spiritual factors matter. Control, perfection, and self-judgment can block natural flow. Reconnecting with your body is essential for conception. Awareness and self-compassion create powerful internal shifts. Your relationship with life influences your fertility journey. There are many ways to "mother" beyond physical birth. Guest Bio:  Ariane de Bonvoisin (@arianedebonvoisin) is an author, elite coach, and speaker who lives globally between New York, Switzerland, and Cape Town with her partner Alfie and their 12-year-old son Everest.

She has spoken and coached at companies such as Google, Twitter, Morgan Stanley, Investec, The IDB, KPMG, L'Oreal, Amazon, Nestle, and Redbull amongst others, and has been a keynote at events including Oprah's Conference and Maria Shriver's Women's Conference.

Hello from Team Simon! We're taking a short hiatus, but A Bit of Optimism will return with brand-new episodes March 24th. In the meantime, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. Episodes that many of you who listened, shared them, and told us what resonated. This week, we're bringing back Simon's conversation with journalist, author, and longtime friend Maria Shriver. Maria Shriver was born into the legendary Kennedy and Shriver families, arriving with a script already written for her—an identity shaped by legacy and expectation. From the start, the world had ideas about who she should be. But after decades as a journalist, years as California's First Lady, and raising four amazing kids, Maria has been on a lifelong journey to peel back the layers and ask Who am I now?—and answer it for herself. Maria also happens to be Simon's best friend. They talked about how they became each other's “8-minute friends,” the quiet questions that shape us, and Maria's beautiful new book of poetry—which she reads from in this episode. It's all about identity, self-reflection, and finding your voice in a world that keeps trying to define it for you. If you've ever wondered who you are beyond what you do or how to rediscover yourself after life changes, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that identity is something we can reclaim again and again. This… is A Bit of Optimism. --------------------------- For more on Maria Shriver, check out: her book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/i-am-mar... ---------------------------

In this episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat, we sit down with conversation expert and storyteller Kalina Silverman, the creator of the global movement Make Big Talk and author of the new book Big Talk: How to Skip the Small Talk, Make Meaningful Connections, and Enrich Your Life. Kalina's journey started with something many people quietly experience—loneliness. While away at college, she realized she was surrounded by people yet still struggling to form meaningful friendships. Instead of accepting surface-level conversations, she began asking deeper questions that moved past small talk and opened the door to real connection. That experiment turned into a viral video series and eventually a global movement encouraging people to ask better questions and build deeper relationships. Today, Make Big Talk events and conversations are happening around the world, helping people connect in a more authentic and human way. Kalina's work also took on a powerful new dimension in 2025 when she partnered with GoFundMe to highlight survivors of devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Traveling to burned neighborhoods and damaged homes, she asked one simple but powerful question: What did you lose? The emotional conversations that followed introduced the world to survivors like Walt, Willie, and Dorothy. These raw, human stories spread across social media, generating millions of views and helping raise more than $2 million in donations for recovery efforts. The project earned Kalina a Shorty Impact Award for Emergency Relief storytelling. With the release of her new book Big Talk, Kalina is helping people learn how to move beyond surface-level conversations and create deeper connections in friendships, relationships, work, and everyday life. Her work has attracted the attention of some of the biggest names in media, including Maria Shriver, Anderson Cooper, and Katie Couric, who are all fans of her work and the powerful impact of meaningful conversation. In this conversation, we explore why small talk often leaves people feeling disconnected, how asking better questions can transform relationships, and why authentic storytelling can create real change in communities. What we discuss in this episode: • Why small talk often keeps people feeling isolated • How one question can unlock meaningful connection • The moment Kalina realized deeper conversations change lives • How Make Big Talk grew from a college idea into a global movement • The emotional wildfire survivor stories that helped raise millions in relief • Why meaningful conversations are more important than ever in a digital world • Practical ways to connect with anyone—even if you're shy or socially anxious Kalina's work reminds us that connection isn't about saying the perfect thing. It's about creating space for honesty, curiosity, and empathy. If you've ever struggled with awkward conversations, felt lonely in a crowd, or wished relationships felt deeper and more meaningful, this episode will completely change how you think about talking to people.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment covers two major Drake-related stories dominating headlines in early 2026.First, the viral leak of Drake's unreleased freestyle "Spicy Hot (150 Freestyle)"—surfacing snippets as early as October 2025 but exploding around Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026) across TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, and Threads. DJ Akademiks amplified it by playing portions February 5–7, sparking debates on whether it overshadowed J. Cole's The Fall-Off release. Fans link the track to Drake's anticipated ninth studio album Iceman (expected 2026 via OVO Sound/Republic Records, following For All the Dogs in 2023), featuring boastful, confrontational bars with a repetitive chorus: “I'm talkin' spicy hot,” “F**k it, we spicing it up,” references to “Free Slime,” money on cases, and lines like “a .150 right in yo' face.” Themes include flexing, confidence, and subtle disses (potentially tied to past beefs like Kendrick Lamar). Reception is mixed—praised as a potential hit with cold, classic Drake energy, yet criticized as repetitive. No official confirmation from Drake or OVO; leaks continue fueling hype, memes, reaction videos, and speculation for Iceman.Second, Dave's Hot Chicken's recurring birthday promotion for Drake, their investor since 2021. On October 23, 2025 (eve of his 39th birthday), the chain offered free chicken sliders or tenders at all locations (11 a.m.–9 p.m. local time) via the app—download required, in-store only, one per customer, no delivery. CEO Bill Phelps highlighted celebrating their "most famous investor" amid the brand's growth to over 300 U.S./international spots (with 130+ more planned by 2025 end). Other celebrity backers include Maria Shriver, Michael Strahan, Samuel L. Jackson, and Usher. The Nashville-style hot chicken menu (sliders, tenders, sides like mac & cheese and kale slaw) ties into Drake's cultural influence, driving app downloads, social buzz, and in-store traffic.Analytic Dreamz breaks down how these moments— from leaked freestyles building Iceman anticipation to brand crossovers—reinforce Drake's enduring dominance in music, culture, and business.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys begin by discussing the security detail protecting the rich and famous. From Elon Musk to the Hollywood elite, security is becoming crucial in today's violent society. Even security cameras in any environment have become critical after last weekend's series of multiple mass shootings. In fact authorities have identified the suspect in Saturday's mass shooting at Brown University as the same man believed to have carried out the murder of a renowned nuclear scientist at MIT days later. Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente was found dead Thursday evening inside a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire. Inflation numbers are out, albeit most are speculation. Calculations from consumer spending affected by the President's tariffs are still being populated as the holiday season present shoppers with higher prices for most goods and services. Also the left goes bonkers as Maria Shriver slammed President Trump on Thursday after the Kennedy Center's board voted unanimously to rename the institution to the "Trump-Kennedy Center," accusing him of trying to attach his name to a memorial dedicated to her uncle, President John F. Kennedy. The band Cheap Trick defended the decision as they performed at the venue to honor their lifelong industry heroes KISS!

Welcome back to this holiday conversation with ‘Essentialism' author Greg McKeown (see his very impressive resume below). As you set your goals and intentions for 2026, Greg's insights will be a great way to think through WHAT REALLY MATTERS to you. To demonstrate how challenging this seemingly obvious exercise can be, I asked Greg how to help me focus my sincere but varied slate of professional ambitions.

In the wake of the devastating deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, family friends paint a heartbreaking portrait of two parents defined by unconditional love. Sources tell me the couple would have forgiven their son Nick “one hundred percent, without question,” even in the face of the unthinkable. At the same time, insiders say Nick long felt crushed by the weight of the Reiner name, resentful of living in the shadow of both his legendary father and grandfather, Carl Reiner. Close friend Maria Shriver echoed that complexity in an emotional tribute, remembering Rob and Michele as parents who “never stopped trying to be great,” no matter how difficult the journey became Don't forget to vote in today's poll on Twitter at @naughtynicerob or in our Facebook group.

People magazine called Laura Wasser “the celebrity of celebrity divorce attorneys,” which makes sense considering she has—according to Wikipedia—handled cases for A+listers like Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, Dr. Dre, Kevin Costner, Maria Shriver, and Jimmy Iovine, among many others. And while “celebrity divorce attorney” might conjure up images of a rapacious shark in Prada boots squeezing every dollar out of her clients' exes, Laura preaches the gospel of divorce with dignity. Her book, It Doesn't Have to Be That Way: How to Divorce Without Destroying Your Family or Bankrupting Yourself is a jungle guide for ending a marriage while preserving decency, values, and a couple's wealth. As she writes, “…the more acrimony, argument, and angst, the more money your attorney makes. We profit from your inability to resolve issues.” In other words, don't pay your lawyer $1,000/hr to determine—as famously captured in When Harry Met Sally—who gets the “stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers, garage sale coffee table.” Her book is a plea to all those going through one of the most stressful human experiences possible to summon your best self and think about who you want to be when the dust settles. Laura and I talk about the fundamental language of divorce, including spousal support, child support, no-fault divorce, community property, and also the more philosophical dimensions of the process, like the concept of “fairness” and how one defines “winning.” Sincere thanks to my former Facebook colleague, Matt Jacobson for making the connection to Laura.

This is a rebroadcast. The episode originally ran in August 2020. Greg McKeown has dedicated his career to discovering why some people and teams break through to the next level—and others don't. The definitive treatment of this issue is addressed in his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg hosts The Greg McKeown Podcast with guests such as Harvard professor Arthur Brooks, Matthew McConaughey, Maria Shriver, John Hope Bryant, and Ariana Huffington. He is one of the most sought-after public speakers globally, with clients including Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Nike. Originally from London, England, Greg now lives near Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife Anna and their family. In this interview Greg and Kurt talk about how small, consistent steps are more effective for creating lasting change than grand, overwhelming efforts. At the time of this recording, Greg was serving as an elders quorum president in his ward in California. Links Being an Essentialism Bishop | An Interview with Greg McKeown Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less GregMcKeown.com One-Minute Missionary Work videos Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode, Greg discusses the principles of essentialism and how they can be applied to leadership within the Latter-day Saint community. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on small, manageable changes to foster growth and connection in both personal and church leadership contexts. Key Insights Essentialism Defined: Essentialism is the disciplined pursuit of less, focusing on what truly matters rather than getting overwhelmed by numerous tasks and responsibilities. Small and Simple Changes: Greg highlights the scriptural principle that "by small and simple means are great things brought to pass," advocating for incremental improvements rather than sweeping changes. The Importance of Relationships: Building genuine relationships within the church community is crucial. Leaders should strive to understand the struggles of others, as most individuals face challenges that may not be immediately visible. Avoiding Overwhelm: Change does not have to be hard or abrupt. Leaders should focus on small, consistent actions that can lead to significant progress over time. Celebrating Successes: Recognizing and celebrating even minor achievements can motivate individuals and foster a sense of community and accomplishment. Leadership Applications Incremental Improvements: Latter-day Saint leaders can implement small changes in their quorums or wards, such as enhancing home teaching efforts by celebrating small successes rather than overhauling the entire system. Fostering Relationships: Leaders should prioritize building relationships by checking in on members regularly and asking meaningful questions to understand their needs better. Setting Realistic Goals: Instead of aiming for grandiose changes, leaders can focus on achievable, small goals that encourage participation and engagement, making it easier for members to contribute and feel valued. By applying these principles, leaders can create a more supportive and effective environment within their congregations, ultimately leading to stronger connections and spiritual growth. 00:02:40 - Essentialism and Its Impact 00:03:44 - Greg's Leadership Journey 00:05:06 - Adapting to COVID in Leadership 00:06:57 - The Power of Small Changes 00:09:06 - Celebrating Small Victories 00:10:24 - Family History Made Simple 00:12:12 - Overcoming Overwhelm in Family History 00:13:50 - The Importance of Small Steps 00:15:07 - Engaging with Family History 00:16:39 - The Reality of Change vs. Progress 00:18:30 - The Role of Empathy in Leadership 00:19:04 - Understanding Universal Suffering 00:20:10 - Building Relationships in Leadership 00:22:35 - The Challenge of Fixing Others' Problems

The Real Secret Behind Success That Nobody Talks About What if success wasn't about talent, luck, or even hard work—but about who you become in the process? In this mashup, I bring together three powerhouse voices—Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, Maria Shriver, and Percy “Master P” Miller—to reveal the truth about success that most people overlook. These aren't theories. These are battle-tested lessons born from pain, reinvention, and the courage to carve your own lane when the world tells you it's impossible. Jeezy takes us inside the moment he left the streets behind to bet it all on music—and how life's hardest hits, from losing his voice to battling Bell's palsy, forced him to confront who he really was. His story is a raw reminder that success isn't about avoiding setbacks, but about finding strength and faith in the middle of them. Maria Shriver opens up about growing up in a legendary family where confidence wasn't inherited—it had to be earned . She shares the lessons she's learned about self-worth, identity, and how breaking free from old beliefs can open the door to your true calling . Her honesty is a masterclass in building a life not defined by other people's expectations, but by your own truth. And then there's Master P—an icon who turned “No Limit” from a mindset into a movement. From selling music out of his trunk to building generational wealth, he breaks down why consistency beats talent, why faith without work is dead, and why not all money is good money . His wisdom on integrity, entrepreneurship, and refusing to accept “headache money” will challenge you to raise your standards in life and business . Every story in this episode points back to one truth: Success isn't what you think. It's not a destination, a bank account, or a title. It's about transformation—becoming your “other self” on the other side of adversity . And that's a secret most people will never understand. Key Takeaways: Why the hardest seasons of your life are preparing you for your “other self.” How Jeezy rebuilt his life by walking away from the streets and facing failure head-on. Maria Shriver's powerful perspective on earning self-confidence and breaking free from limiting beliefs. Master P's blueprint for entrepreneurship: consistency, faith, and turning down “headache money.” Why success is less about what you get and more about who you become. This is one of those episodes you'll want to play more than once, because the wisdom in it doesn't just inspire—it transforms. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
