Send us a textThis week, we're diving into Sunrise on the Reaping by the iconic Suzanne Collins—our May Book of the Month and one of the most exciting additions to the Hunger Games universe yet. We recorded this one in our pod studio (!!!) and had an absolute blast unpacking the world, the characters, and all the ways this story wrecked us—in the best way.

In this episode, your host, certified holistic life coach Eva Rodriguez, breaks down the real reason you keep eating past satisfied—even when you're trying to be "good"—and how to stop the One More Bite Won't Hurt habit without guilt, restriction, or food obsession. If you're tired of feeling like food has the upper hand—and you want to feel powerful around food instead of powerless—this episode will show you exactly where to start. If you've ever thought, “It's just a few extra bites…” or “I'll get back on track tomorrow…”—this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. KEY POINTS: Why do I keep eating even when I'm not hungry anymore? How do I stop eating when I'm already full? Why is it so hard to stop eating once I start? How do I stop myself from saying “just one more bite”? How do I enjoy food without overeating? How can I trust myself to stop eating when I'm satisfied? QUOTABLE: "Stopping at satisfied isn't deprivation. It's freedom." – Eva Rodriguez

The first time I ever heard about Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr, I was just a kid. I recall watching a movie of his; "Gifted Hands", where I saw this young kid who didn't appear so promising, yet became the first neurosurgeon to perform a successful separation of conjoined twins. I'm not sure I ever followed up the story, but I knew such a man lived, and I was reminded on how 'Faith' does move mountains. Fast forward, I purchased a book of his "Think Big" from a gift shop, and reading it I realized there is so much more that He has to teach me. Hi! My name is Edesiri and I'm a Book Reviewer. Kindly listen to the life transforming lessons from this month's Book choice. Do well to share your testimonials when you do listen!

Here's our discussion for the May Book of the Month: Glen Picotte's Mind, Vol I by Glen PicotteA short story collection, this set of five stories vary so much from each other, but we were so entertained by each story as they were brilliantly written. The horror author swings greatly from skin-crawling to old-school eeriness. We've also roped in author Castiel Skull to do a buddy read with us as well as record a session with us for the discussion of this book. We'd recorded, had a great time, and then something happened to our recording. We are so so bummed, and we apologize to Castiel and everyone else that the intended recording isn't available. Next time author Glen Picotte has a new set of short stories out, hopefully Castiel will join us again!To connect with the author:Glen Picott'es siteJune book of the month is a classic and a Cattie's Pick:The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler contact us:bookscatssnacks@gmail.comIG: @bookscatspodcastwww.bookscatssnacks.com

Thanks to all who joined us for our recent Book Lunch" livestream featuring a book from 1992 by the late Neil Postman called “Technopoly”. We loved your insightful thoughts and questions. I took the deep dive into one of the last great polemical works on culture and technology - Neil Postman's Technopoly. I situate Postman as one of the greatest examples of New York Jewish intellectual life of the twentieth century more generally, as well as possessing totally unique perspective on what technology can and can't do in particular. More on this recent livestream event, here: This “Book Lunch” will feature a book from 1992 by the late Neil Postman called “Technopoly”. At once a humanities and liberal arts based and informed historical survey of attitudes towards technology in the United States as well as a cultural polemic, rereading it in our current moment makes it is some ways a book that could have been written his very month even - as its examples are incredibly "dated" in a technical sense. I will do the deep dive into Technopoly, the title word being Postman's neologism for a new kind of totalitarianism, one where machines rather than we humans would be in charge. I situate the author's attitudes and perspectives within the context of the legacy of Marshall McLuhan in particular and the liberal artsand humanities in general, the latter being in many respects the foundation of our very podcast. #booklunch #techopoly #NeilPostman #author #amwriting #mitchhampton #podcasts --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/support

Our May Book of the Month is Beyond Measures by Kimberly Brown @authorkimberlybrown - Read along with @authoruntamed and @booksandsoul1 Synopsis: Ariyanna "Ari" Ramirez has had enough of no love. After a two-year relationship filled with more heartbreak than happiness, she is starting over. When she meets handsome, suave, single father, Simeon "Sime" Cartwright, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever. Their romance is one for the ages, but nothing worth having comes easy and Ari is paying the ultimate price. Her world is slowly crashing all around her as she clings to Sime for love, comfort, and safety. Simeon Cartwright is a former street dude turned businessman and single father. His life revolves around work, his family, and his six-year-old daughter. Single since his baby mama ran off six years ago, Sime is instantly intrigued by the green-eyed beauty who comes with more than a little bit of baggage. While dealing with Ari's drama he has a bit of drama of his own with the unexpected return of his estranged baby mama. From baby mama drama to a deranged ex and murder, Ari and Sime fight to overcome everything thrown at them, all while trying to remain true to each other. Will they be able to make it and live happily ever after, or will they fold under the weight of the world on their shoulders? Follow us IG: @getcaughtuppodcast on Twitter @gcu_podcast.

If reading takes too long to consume my book reviews every month I gather up my book reviews and do a digest based on What I read over the month. There was no digest in April because I was on a tight deadline for a screenplay, still working on it but the first draft is done, as always go to my blog or Goodreads for complete reviews. Books covered in this episode: Our War by Craig DiLouie Fragments of a Revolution by Seb Doubinsky My heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan Later by Stpehen King Dying is Easy by Joe Hill John Constantine: Hellblazer, Vol. 1: Marks of Woe Hella by David Gerrold After the rain by Nnedi Okorafor, John Jennings The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable by Amitav Ghosh Red Widow by Alma Katsu •You can find my books here: https://bookshop.org/contributors/david-agranoff Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

**Hi guys,I'm so sorry the audio is so terrible for this episode! I think my mic wasn't plugged in properly and the programme defaulted to my computer mic which is obviously terrible. I wasn't able to rerecord as I had gone away for the weekend and wanted to get the episode out on time.

Alka Joshi’s mother married at 18 in an arranged marriage, as was the custom in India in the 1950’s. The choice was not hers. But what if she had fled and not married? What if she had been able to make her own choices? The Henna Artist is Alka’s story of what if. Ten years of research, ten years in the writing and we have the story of one woman’s journey to be self-made and discover herself. Choices that we have and those we don’t have or didn’t have, Alka expresses it all through the artistry in The Henna Artist. Alka Joshi’s debut novel is on the New York Times Bestseller List, Reese Witherspoon’s May Book club pick and one of Ms. Magazine’s ‘8 Books That Will Transport You’. Born in the desert state of Rajasthan in India, her family immigrated to America in 1967. Alka has lived in India, Italy and France. She and her husband currently live in California. Alka earned her BA from Stanford University and an MFA from California College of Arts in San Francisco. Alka has spent over 30 years in marketing and is the CEO of Alka Joshi Marketing.

Welcome back readers, I'm back with another episode of Reading While Black Podcast and today we have Michael Arceneaux here to discuss his second book, I Don't Want To Die Poor. This is not just a perfect book for right now at this moment as student loan debt is a national conversation during the 2020 Presidential Race but it was a perfect book 10 years ago. Michael tells his story and how debt doesn't just affect you financially but becomes burdens on your mental health and your dating life. It's not too late to pick up I Don't Want To Die Poor. Remember to support your local bookstores in your community. It's also time to announce our May Book of the Month. If you did not know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I thought it was appropriate to select a book that focused on solutions to dealing with trauma. It gives me great pleasure to announce our book of the month for May is My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Mending of Our Bodies and Hearts by Resmaa Menakem. The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans—our police. My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide. Paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system. Offers a step-by-step solution—a healing process—in addition to incisive social commentary. Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in trauma, body-centered psychotherapy, and violence prevention. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil as an expert on conflict and violence. Menakem has studied with bestselling authors Dr. David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage) and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score). He also trained at Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. If you live in the Montgomery, AL area, you can pick it up at your local abolition bookstore 1977 Books.

In this episode I interview THE Mica May of May Designs. May Designs is a lifestyle brand specializing in customized notebooks, stationery, and more! At the core of Mica’s company, they are a team wanting to bring joy to the everyday moments in life. The flagship product is the May Book, a simple notebook that can be customized to reflect your style; their notebooks come in three different sizes, it lays flat and fits nicely in your purse! The heart behind each product they create is to allow you to create something that makes you inspired to be YOU! They hope to guide you down a little online trail of magic as you design something over your very own. May Designs has been named one of Oprah's Favorite Things, and has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Real Simple, Austin Women and has been included in Birchbox and Popsugar boxes nationwide. Back in 2009, Mica May decided life was too short for ugly notebooks. A graphic designer by trade, she whipped up some patterned notebooks for herself, and began using them and taking them to client meetings. People began to take notice of her notebooks and started calling them “May” books, after her namesake. Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Mica decided that these whimsical notebooks she was making could be scaled for the masses, so she launched a second company called May Books, which eventually changed its name to May Designs. Through the years, the company has grown and expanded into other product lines and is actively pursuing being a lifestyle brand. She believes that every day moments should be lovely, so the company is on a mission to make all of life’s normal activities just a little bit more magical. I saw Mica speak on a panel at the Current conference I attended in Austin back in September. Blown away by her charisma and story of true passion and grit I asked her if she would be on the show and share her story with all of YOU! In this episode we chat all things what it was like to get started building your own company, what led up to Mica’s big Good Morning America Moment, how she balances motherhood and entrepreneurship and what's coming up for her Trailblazer retreat in 2020.
