The Cornell 7, Consent, Why are you adding me on LinkedIn? This week, Kate is up late whisper-screaming into the mic, starting with condescending religious commenters and meandering into a conversation about the Cornell 7 that wasn't going to be the episode but then became the episode. Kate walks through what the lawsuit and Jane Doe's 2024 statements actually say, asks why a DA publicly litigated her account before a grand jury could hear it, and talks about the pride she feels toward the student journalists at the Cornell Daily Sun who broke the story. From there, she turns to why this story hits women so hard beyond just, like, having a pulse, and why so many millennial women are sitting with the discomfort of the blackout culture we laughed off, the Wedding Crashers and Tucker Max era that made boundaries feel negotiable, the whiplash of going from purity culture to trying to pretend to be "chill," and the gray areas so many of us are still sorting through. Plus: what she's thinking about as the mom of a little boy, why every choice is its own choice (not consented to by the last one) and the most unhinged LinkedIn request of her life.

What would it take for you to give up YOUR ghost? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Samantha Rose — Emmy award-winning television writer and New York Times bestselling ghostwriter of nearly twenty books — to talk about what happens when the woman behind everyone else's stories finally tells her own. After losing her mother to suicide in 2020, Samantha began writing to process her grief… and discovered she had been living as a ghost in her own life. That writing became Giving Up the Ghost: A Daughter's Memoir — winner of Best Memoir at the San Francisco Book Festival — and the first book ever published under her own name. Together, Wendy and Samantha explore grief, healing, finding your voice in midlife, and why it's never too late to stop playing small and finally be seen. If you've ever felt invisible in your own life, this conversation is your permission slip.✨ What You'll Learn• Why so many women become the “ghostwriter” of their own lives — and how to stop• What “giving up the ghost” really means — and how to give up yours• How writing (or any creative outlet) helps grief move through your body• Why unprocessed grief waits for you — and how to finally give it a voice• How to step out of the shadows and be seen — even as an introvert
Send us Fan MailIt's the most wonderful time of the year! The season of the crows has officially returned and as slightly spooky, elder emo, introverted book girls, it's our time to shine. We invite you to cozy up with a blanket and a crispy Alani, light that overpriced candle, and watch Edward Cullen lean his awkward fingers against tables and trees in the background while we talk fall. (It's like talking “shop” or “business” but much more serious.) Because we have a fever, and the only prescription is more Halloween! Today is a no-homework-required mess-around. We chat about this year's fall hopefuls, favorite recent spooky reads, and then have some fun guessing popular horror books and movies based off of one star reviews. We even add in some spooky stories from Reddit and a smash or pass to fit the season. We hope this episode gets you in the mood and helps ward off the impending darkness-at-5pm doom.

Ever think you've moved on from someone, only to be reminded of them somehow and get pulled right back into resentment? In this episode of Dear Guides, Gabrielle Bernstein sits down with spiritual intuitive Colette Baron-Reid to explore energetic cords: what they are, how to recognize when you have one, and why rumination is what actually creates and feeds them. Together, they break down the difference between everyday grievances and deeper trauma, why holding onto resentment can block your ability to manifest, and how to release a cord without spiritually bypassing what really happened to you. The episode closes with a guided cord-cutting meditation to help you release resentment, reclaim your energy, and finally let go. Whoever's still living rent-free in your head… let this be the moment you set them free. ✂️Get my FREE cord cutting meditation → http://bit.ly/3WaZ12H

What if the key to manifesting what you want is becoming more of who you truly are? In this episode of Dear Guides, Gabrielle Bernstein and psychic medium Lauren Rainbow explore five powerful manifesting lessons from Gabrielle's friend and mentor, Wayne Dyer. Together, they unpack Wayne's teachings on changing your perspective, releasing attachment, becoming more authentic, believing in yourself, and expressing the “music” inside of you. Through channeling and spiritual guidance, Gabrielle and Lauren explore how to live more fully in the present, trust your inner truth, reconnect with joy, and recognize your own power to create and shape your life. The episode closes with a guided meditation of Wayne's wisdom to help you release attachments, connect with your heart, and step into the energy of who you truly are.
This week, Kate crashes out over an influencer's crash out about a friend allegedly copying her home, but it happens to be a home that looks like so many others online, it's basically the Instagram Face of fancy homes. Kate goes through the series slide by slide, and discusses adjacent topics, like "stop copying me" being girlhood's first legal argument, the time her own wedding website got copied word for word, and the difference between a scullery and a butler's pantry, which she learned against her will. Then it spirals into the bigger thing she couldn't let go of: why influencer homes went from farmhouse to organic modern to old-world European right as everything got too shoppable, how the tastemakers who popularized those looks are now fleeing them upmarket, Kyle Chayka's AirSpace and why every "unique" house converges into sameness in the name of individuality, a Fashion Ambitionist throwback, a bar cart eulogy (the memories fade, the bitters last forever), and a meditation on scallops nobody asked for.

Have you ever dreamed of a loved one who has passed and woken up feeling like you were truly with them? In this episode of Dear Guides, Gabrielle Bernstein and psychic medium Mary Ann DiMarco explore dream visitations and the ways loved ones connect with us through dreams, signs, symbols, meditation, and our own intuition.

This week, Nora McInerny joins Kate for a witchy birthday-week episode that escalates from lyric trivia and vintage Girl Talk into a full unlicensed spiritual review via tarot, numerology, astrocartography, and a 1982 birthday book, as read by two women who believe in nothing and also everything as long as it works in their favor. They investigate whether it's illegal to talk to dolphins, unpack the broken-smile industrial complex of 2000s love songs, mourn the lost art of the local commercial, and make the case that your ancestors are not, in fact, thinking about you.

Are you seeing feathers, repeating signs, or feeling a presence around you and wondering if your angels are trying to send you a message? In this episode of Dear Guides, Gabrielle Bernstein sits down with world-renowned angel expert Kyle Gray to explain why the connection can feel blocked and how to open yourself to it. Together they break down the four frequencies that naturally attract angels into your life: authenticity, service, devotion, and unconditional love, and why you don't need to be "gifted" to access them. Kyle also shares moving stories about loved ones who became angels, and explains the loophole angels use to reach us even at rock bottom. Plus, Kyle leads a guided meditation to help you feel your angel's presence right now. Whatever's been keeping you from believing they're there… let this be your turning point. This episode of Dear Guides was filmed in London.
Have you spent years trying to figure out your purpose, comparing yourself to others and wondering if you missed a sign? What if that search was never the point?

Together, they unpack why hitting a bottom often cracks us open, how unburdening our true selves activates our gifts, and why self-love is the highest frequency for clearing the path forward. Gabby and Sean also channel live messages from their guides before leading you through a guided meditation to help you receive your own soul purpose message. Whatever stage you're at, your purpose isn't something you have to find… it's already finding you. Get my FREE meditation to connect with your spirit guides now → https://bit.ly/47vFa4r

#1 New York Times bestselling author and two-time Newbery Medal winner Kate DiCamillo spoke with us about overcoming rejection early on, her workmanlike process, and how she stays grounded after more than 25 years in the craft. Kate DiCamillo is a celebrated author of children's fiction, and famously one of only seven authors to win two Newbery Medals for her outstanding contributions to American children's literature. Because of Winn-Dixie—her debut novel—became a runaway bestseller and snapped up a Newbery Honor. Since then she has written for a wide range of ages, received countless awards, has nearly 49 million books in print worldwide, and been translated into 41 languages. Kate has multiple new books this year, and is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the beloved classic, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. The Chicago Tribune wrote of the author, “DiCamillo has carved out a distinct place as one of her generation's most beloved writers.” There are popular feature film versions of some of her classic novels, including Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, Flora & Ulysses, The Tiger Rising, and The Magician's Elephant.

New York Times bestselling author Jessica Knoll joined me live at the Whitby Hotel to discuss Helpless, her gripping new psychological thriller (her "slimmest, tightest novel yet") about a Hollywood power player forced to confront a toxic relationship from her past. Jessica shares how her own experiences informed her writing, reflects on the lasting impact of trauma (trigger warning: we discussed sexual assault), and dives into the novel's complex themes of power, desire, violence, and memory. She also talks about Hollywood, adapting her work for the screen, and the unforgettable ending that will leave readers desperate to discuss the final page.

NYT Bestselling author and former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissman joins Donny to break down his explosive new book Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America — and the bold legal reforms he says could protect American democracy for generations. Andrew Weissman — former lead prosecutor on the Mueller Special Counsel investigation, ex-General Counsel of the FBI, and 15-year federal prosecutor — pulls no punches on the weaponization of the Justice Department, political lies, and what real structural reform looks like. In this episode: Why Weissman's original publisher dropped his book after Trump's executive order — and why that backfired His proposal to raise the grand jury indictment standard to stop retributive, politically motivated prosecutions The Truth in Elections Act — how countries like Germany, France, and Brazil criminalize deliberate election lies, and why the U.S. should too The First Amendment argument against regulating political speech — and why Weissman says it doesn't hold up What a German court's Holocaust denial ruling reveals about protecting democracy from dangerous lies Whether Trumpism survives Trump — and the structural reforms needed before the next authoritarian playbook is run Whether you're a political junkie, legal nerd, or just a concerned American, this conversation is essential listening.
This week, Kate chats with PEN15 co-creator Anna Konkle for a conversation that's equal parts silly and heavy, like the last two people awake at a sleepover asking about the meaning of life and swapping stories of their first thong. They discuss Anna's new memoir, The Sane One, and how it explores a different kind of nostalgia than her previous work, touching on topics like the grief, estrangement, and reconciliation that anchor the book, hand-slapping games like Miss Mary Mack, the kind of love for your child that's so pure it almost scares you, and what it was like to be chosen as a Filene's Basement model. Along the way, they dive into the surprising relationship between the academia of clowning and playing a 13-year-old in PEN15, reminisce about AIM, Disney Channel free previews, sleepover paranormal rituals, and spiral about gentle parenting and the importance of boredom. It's a conversation about memories, motherhood, creativity, and all the tiny emotional truths that never quite leave us, with detours more random than Kate Bosworth showing up at your local Relay for Life.

This summer on Equip & Empower with Christine Caine, we're answering the question: what does it actually look like to live a rooted, resilient, and fruitful life? We're starting not with survival, but with possibility. A rooted life isn't just a stable life — it's a life capable of believing God for the impossible. And most of us have confused those two things. We want to be steady. We want to be safe. But Christine Caine opens this summer series with a provocation: the moment your situation stops being impossible is the moment you stop needing God. Roots aren't just for holding you in place. They're what make everything else possible. In this opening episode, Christine draws the line between intellectual faith and active trust — the difference between believing in God and believing God. For the thing in front of you. For the miracle that seems too far. For the promise you've nearly stopped praying for. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ What's the difference between believing in God and actually believing God — for my specific situation? ✅ How do I trust God when the people I should have been able to trust have hurt me? ✅ Can God really rebuild what's broken in me before He can use me for something bigger? ✅ How do I step out in faith when I'm still carrying wounds from my past? ✅ Why do I keep praying for a miracle but pulling back from anything that actually requires one? ✅ What does it mean to be rooted — and why does it matter for the life I'm trying to build? ✅ Is it possible to flourish after abandonment, betrayal, or brokenness? …then this is your episode.
This week, it's just Kate, an Aperol Spritz, and the tech bro quote about wine that accidentally kicked off the conversation we've all been needing about optimization culture and being tired of treating every part of life like a performance review. Plus, a round of News You Can Use about why fruit hasn't been sweet since 1996, this season's hottest mnemonic devices, the babydoll dress of it all, and reviewing what Olivia Rodrigo is doing differently in Drop Dead and The Cure, all of it strangely circling back to living in a world that quantifies us without letting the number become the whole story.

Gabby Bernstein gets deeply personal in this raw and unfiltered episode of Dear Guides with psychic medium MaryAnn DiMarco… but this time, the spiritual tables are turned. MaryAnn channeled her guides and interviewed Gabby, leading to one of her most vulnerable conversations yet. From healing childhood trauma and finding “unshakable faith” to opening up about menopause, testosterone, sexuality, and the truth about manifestation culture online, Gabby shares how real spiritual practice transformed her life. Together, they unpack what it actually means to live a heart-centered life, trust your inner guidance, and stop chasing “fake spirituality” in favor of true healing, safety, and alignment.

What do you do when the dream God gave you feels completely disconnected from the reality you're living? When life feels unfair, painful, delayed, or deeply disappointing, it can be easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through the story of Joseph in Genesis 37–50 — one where betrayal, waiting, setbacks, and suffering aren't the end of the narrative. They're the process. From the pit to Potiphar's house. From prison to the palace. God wasn't absent in Joseph's darkest chapters. He was positioning him. Christine Caine shows that the painful seasons aren't detours from your purpose. They are the preparation for it. If you're in a waiting room right now, wondering whether God has forgotten the dream He placed in you, this message is for you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why would God allow painful seasons if He gave me the dream? ✅ What do I do when I feel forgotten or overlooked? ✅ Can God still use my trauma and setbacks for good? ✅ How do I forgive people who have deeply hurt me? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when the wait feels unbearable? ✅ What does faithfulness look like when nothing is going the way I planned? ✅ Is it possible for my story to still turn out the way God intended? ...then listen in!

This week, Kate sits down with Stephani Young, the journalist (and longtime Beth!) behind the viral investigative podcast Love Trapped, the year-plus deep dive into the Clayton Echard paternity scandal that turned out to be so much bigger than a Bachelor Nation headline. Kate opens with why a story like this is so culturally tricky to talk about and the tension between believing women and recognizing when the systems built to protect them get weaponized. Then Kate and Stephani get into how the story spans not just Clayton but a years-long pattern involving multiple men that ultimately led to 14 felony indictments. They also discuss Stephani's editorial process, in terms of building the series in parallel with how internet sleuths discovered it in real-time, what got cut, what landed her in legal review, and the moment she became part of the story when Laura's emails started arriving in her inbox too.

After taking time off and noticing her comment section brain rot, she's trying to get back to occasional one-pass, no-edits, no-looking-things-up format to practice for a live format of the show coming soon. It's the kind of episode where Reneesme, Billie Eilish, Five Below, and the Epstein files all somehow end up in the same conversation and it almost tracks. Also, some musing about the discomfort of realizing the millennial girlhood pipeline of Limited Too to Abercrombie to Victoria's Secret was built and run by men who turned out to be predators, and the connection between frat bro philanthropy shirts and A&F. Plus, everything's coming up Kate following a streak of good luck that she thinks might have something to do with a haunted candle. Enjoy! Order Kate's NYT Bestselling book, One in a Millennial here!
