Why do so many high-achieving, perfectionist moms struggle with anxiety and burnout? Because we've been taught to equate our worth with productivity. In this episode, Dr. Whitney Casares dives deep into the roots of hustle culture, workaholism, and the pressure to always be "on." Drawing from insights in Melissa Clark's Never Not Working and her own experiences as a pediatrician and working mom, she explores the hidden costs of over-functioning—from mental health struggles to strained relationships. Most importantly, she offers practical strategies for setting boundaries, redefining self-worth, and reclaiming presence over productivity. If you've ever felt like you can't slow down, this episode is for you.Full show notes here.

Guest host Carole O'Neill's guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Melissa Clark Bacon, author of the book Through Her Lens. Melissa took her first photo with her grandfather's Kodak instamatic camera, complete with a bluecoat flashcube. By high school, she transitioned to 35mm black and white film and a PentaxK-1000. When the four corners of single silver gelatin prints she made constrained her storytelling, she moved to collections of images and finally to the written word. It took years to complete her novel (ten if you must know) and the process left her longing to make, so she began teaching herself photographic transfer and hand applied emulsion processes along with handwork like embroidery. This exploration of traditional photo making and women's work, combined with a female protagonist who invaded her waking and sleeping hours, shifted the focus of her work from children and the work of the hand to the undervalued and overlooked contributions of women.   In Carole's book review, she stated Through Her Lens is a historical fiction by Melissa Bacon Clark. Millicent Trayford spent her days as a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force assigned to Britain's Central Intelligence Unit's headquarters. As the newest member of Operation Crossbow, she worked reconnaissance in order to stop V1 flying bombs and V2 rockets before D-Day. But Millie's real desire was to use her camera in the middle of the action to tell the story of women's strength and vitality before their contributions in the war effort were lost to history.   Melissa Bacon Clark does a seamless job moving from fact to fiction as we imagine the horror of innocent families running for shelters as the sirens rang out against the backdrop of World War II. I thought I had my fill of WWII novels, but Through Her Lens is a very different look at a time in history worth reading, and the latest in the untold stories of the war's female heroes.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Melissa Clark Bacon: Website: https://www.melissaclarkbacon.com/ FB: @melissa.bacon.127 IG: @melissa_clark_bacon   Purchase Through Her Lens on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3Zl9niI Ebook: https://amzn.to/3OprZI6   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   #melissaclarkbacon #throughherlens #historicalfiction #wwiifiction #terimbrownauthor #authorpodcast #onlineforauthors #characterdriven #researchjunkie #awardwinningauthor #podcasthost #podcast #readerpodcast #bookpodcast #writerpodcast #author #books #goodreads #bookclub #fiction #writer #bookreview *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What do the Eater layoffs mean for food media in Los Angeles? Did Bill Addison's review of Vespertine get us more or less excited to visit the two Michelin-star juggernaut? And what to make of Melissa Clark's underwhelming experiences at Thomas Keller's Per Se and The French Laundry? Father Sal's with us today to discuss all of the above, plus a controversy at Long Beach's Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, a bold proclamation of the best fast food item in America, and quote-unquote intrepid food influencer whose rating every steakhouse chain from the comfort of his own Tesla.  In Part 2, we're joined by Reilly Cox and Luke Reyes for the second installment of our Opening Cafe Esca series. If you missed Part 1, this is our series where Luke and Reilly are bringing us along in their journey of opening an ambitious new Italian restaurant in a stunning Arts District development come March of 2025. For today's conversation, I met up with Reilly and Luke at their very much under-construction restaurant space, to hear about how they've been working with their designer on a design concept that presents a modern Italian dining experience able to convey warmth while also standing out amidst the sea of Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. Today's convo will focus on the concept of the design, and our next installment coming up in a few weeks will center around the nitty gritty of bringing that vision to life by way of materials, permitting, budget constraints, and more.

Melissa is a prolific cookbook author who wears several hats at the New York Times, where she's currently a food reporter, recipe columnist, and the interim restaurant critic, serving alongside Priya Krishna.

To write a cookbook, a good author will go to great lengths to perfect a recipe or understand a cuisine. On this week's show, we meet four food writers who are driven by a deep culinary curiosity. You may know Melissa Clark from her weekly column in the New York Times food section or from one of her 45-odd published cookbooks. We join Melissa in the studio to discuss the art of recipe-making to find out what led the prolific author to a life in food. We also speak with Vicky Bennison, the creator of the YouTube sensation, Pasta Grannies. The series takes Vicky across Italy into the kitchens of everyday women preparing the signature dish in every possible way. We learn about the British native's book of the same name, and learn what led her to chronicle Italy's aging home cooks. After years of interviewing an impressive array of American culinary talent for his podcast Flavors Unknown, Emmanuel Laroche compiled these dialogues for his new book, "Conversations Behind The Kitchen Door." The French-born Emmanuel shares with us what he discovered about our nation's food culture today. Finally, Alabama-born expat Marti Buckley takes us to Spain's Basque region, which she explores in her cookbook "Basque Country." We learn why the culture and cuisine of the Basque people enticed Marti to abandon her Southern roots for a decidedly different kind of life.

Here are three classic conversations from This Is TASTE with three key members of the New York Times food desk. Melissa Clark is a prolific cookbook author, longtime NYT columnist, and one of the most respected food writers in the game. In this interview, we talk about her days collaborating with great chefs including Daniel Boulud, David Bouley, and Claudia Fleming, as well as her action-packed cookbook career. Genevieve Ko is a deputy editor of New York Times Cooking and the Food section, as well as a prolific cookbook author and collaborator. Here we have such a great time catching up about all things cookbooks, food media, and what it's like to help run one of the best, and most popular, sections at the NYT. Lastly we sit down with Emily Weinstein, the food and cooking editor of the New York Times. We've been a great admirer of her and her colleagues' work at NYT Cooking, and we took the opportunity to talk about what makes a great story as well as some of the cooking trends Weinstein is most interested in covering. We also discuss Weinstein's long journey working at the paper, starting as a dining listings fact-checker and rising to various editorial roles, eventually taking the top spot.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined once again by co-host emeritus and Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes to talk through national security news stories from the Holy Land to the Lone Star State, including:“Rebel Aviv.” Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's efforts to dramatically reform Israel's legal system hit a roadblock this past week in the form of widespread popular protests. After sacking his defense minister for suggesting that the reforms should be delayed, Netanyahu did just that—even as he also took steps to allow his most far-right allies to set up their own militia. What does this all mean for the future of Israeli democracy? “Wake Up in the Mornin' Feelin' Like J Biddy.” President Joe Biden may be poised to try and ban TikTok from the United States in light of the Chinese government's opposition to efforts to force a sale. And if he doesn't take such steps, Congress might. But is either step legally viable? What policy approach is best for this particular moment? “Whacko We Do.” Former President Trump held his first major campaign rally this past week in Waco, Texas. Among the headliners were controversial shock-rocker Ted Nugent and a literal chorus of individuals being prosecuted for participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Trump followed with extended remarks that dug deep into conspiracy theories and put rival Ron Desantis clearly in his crosshairs. What should we make of the event? And what does it tell us about the 2024 race? For object lessons, Alan urged listeners to check out the world historical 2010 NPR interview with none other than Ke$ha. Quinta welcomed the return of her Succession overlords. Scott offered a double-header: an endorsement of the Maximum Fun podcast network, which is currently holding its annual MaxFunDrive; and the perfect recipe for spring time, Melissa Clark's pasta primavera. And Ben issued his own double-header of recommended listening/viewing: Margaret Thatcher's 1992 reading of Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait; and Spy Magazine's 1993 article "Are You Next?" on whether you are likely to be the next target of government repression.Here are a few more articles we referenced:Lawfare series on Israeli judicial reformsJameel Jaffer's op-ed in the New York Times about TikTokQuinta's essay about WacoDavid French's column on Trump's Waco rally Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, a Quinta-less Alan and Scott were joined by their Lawfare colleagues senior editor Molly Reynolds and managing editor Tyler McBrien to talk over some copycat-ing that's been taking place in the national security space, including:“Hoppin' the Fence at Lulapalooza.” In a clear echo of the Jan. 6 insurrection, followers of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro sacked the country's parliament this past week, just days after his successor Lula da Silva was sworn in—and while Bolsonaro himself was visiting former U.S. President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. What's the relationship between Jan. 6 and Brazil's recent experience? Is this the beginning of a dangerous global trend?“The Divider House Rules.” After fifteen votes, Rep. Kevin McCarthy is now the Speaker of the House. But to get there, he had to make a lot of concessions—many of which are now showing their face in the House rules and in committee appointments, while others remain secret. What constraints has McCarthy accepted in order to win office? And will they mean for the coming Congress?“C'mon, Man!” Several months after FBI agents raised former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate to recover classified documents, lawyers for current President Biden have acknowledged that they located a few classified documents from his time as vice president in Biden's private office as well. Critics in Congress and elsewhere are crying out that this reflects a double-standard, but does it? How big a deal is this, and what will it mean for the ongoing Mar-a-Lago investigation?For object lessons, Alan passed along Rick Martinez's winter-friendly recipe for pozole verde. Scott recommended revisiting an old classic, Louis Menand's “The Metaphysical Club,” as a reflection on the emergence of pragmatism as an American intellectual tradition. Molly endorsed Melissa Clark's latest cookbook, “Dinner in One,” even if you have to go to the bottom of the ocean to get a copy. And Tyler invoked Kyle Chayka's concept of "ambient tv" to justify his viewing of season 3 of “Emily in Paris.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thanksgiving is probably the most celebrated meal of the year. But for a lot of home cooks or new cooks, or would-be cooks-- it's also the most daunting. But what if there was a much easier approach to Thanksgiving for cooks who don't have the time - or frankly, the patience?

Clark shares a super easy Thanksgiving dinner recipe from her latest cookbook, Dinner in One: Exceptional and Easy One Pan Meals.
