My labs came back "normal." So why do I feel like I'm falling apart and gaining weight?If you've heard that from your doctor, this one's for you. Andrea sits down with her friend (and her own doctor), Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND, founder and clinical director of Advanced Women's Health. They recorded this with no script, for both of their podcasts, and it shows. They laugh a lot, and they still get into the stuff most doctors skip.Sarah explains why she tests insulin and inflammation, not just FSH and LH, and why you can feel off for years before your labs show perimenopause. She uses a bank account analogy for insulin and fat storage that finally makes it click. Then they talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, what the big weight loss trials actually did, and why food, supplements, and medication don't have to be an either/or choice.Sarah also shares something personal. She used to weigh 100 pounds more than she does now, while eating well and working out, and it took years to find out why.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your labs can look normal when you feel anything but, and what "late reproductive" means- Which blood tests to ask about in perimenopause, including fasting insulin and inflammation markers- How insulin affects where your body stores fat, and why eating less often backfires- What the GLP-1 studies don't put in the headlines- 3 surprising things that can add to perimenopause weight gainCHAPTERS2:00 Why a Doctor Who Won't Budge Is a Red Flag2:31 Meet Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND5:36 "I Don't Know Where to Start" and How Your Feed Shapes What You Know8:06 Normal Labs but You Don't Feel Like Yourself?

If you've felt stuck dating, have you ever wondered if it could be the place you live? How much does your city shape your dating life? And what do you do when you have the urge to go somewhere else....for life and love? We're chatting with Kristen Such who shares her story about moving to better align with the types of people she wanted to meet – and how that eventually led her to finding love. We discuss when to know it's time to explore different locations (and how you can do so slowly without blowing up your entire life), when moving gives you a refreshed sense of life vs the problems just follow you, and how to take the leap for someone you know is worth investing in even if all the logistical cards are stacked against you.

Comp titles are second only to platform as the most feared part of a writer's journey--but they don't have to be scary. In this episode, editor and author coach Hannah Robinson breaks comp titles down into something writers already do instinctively every day: describing an unfamiliar thing by connecting it to something familiar. Hannah walks through her "Magic Madlib" formula — [Your Title] meets [Comp A] meets [Comp B], perfect for readers who love [detail] of [Comp C] — and explains the concept of triangulation, why your comps don't need to be exact matches to your book, and how to balance a big "category killer" comp (think Harry Potter or The Body Keeps the Score) with something more realistic to your own platform and sales track. You'll walk away with a repeatable framework for finding comps that make agents, editors, and readers lean in — plus real examples pulled straight from published book descriptions and jacket copy. Hannah is a freelance editor, collaborator, and author coach specializing in practical nonfiction. Before going independent, she worked in-house at HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette Book Group. IN THIS EPISODE: — Why comp titles feel so intimidating (and why they shouldn't) — The Magic Madlib formula for building your comp title — Real comp examples from published books and jacket copy — Triangulation: using comps as a known baseline, not an exact match — The 4 basics every strong comp should hit: genre, format, sales track, and recency — How to responsibly use a "category killer" comp — What to do when your best comp is older than 3 years — Listener Q&A: What exactly is a category killer?

Send us Fan MailRobin Rosenbluth's mother died when she was young, and her abusive and neglectful father put Robin and her sister in foster care - even though other family members offered to take them. Later, with the help of a high school guidance counselor, she was encouraged to continue her education and find scholarships to fund college. What makes her story unique is the year she taught and lived in Songa, a remote village in northern Kenya. There, Robin began to heal from the abuse and abandonment she'd suffered, finding more connection with the local people than with her father or foster parents. Her memoir, LIVING WITH STRANGERS: Healing a Wounded Heart in a Distant Land, describes her time in Kenya as well as her childhood. It's a story of triumphing against the odds, an urgent call to do better for the children currently in foster care, and a testament to the enduring importance of study abroad programs as a tool for forging understanding and connection in a fractured world.This is a deeply moving, personal ad inspiration episode, and shows that no matter how hard the struggle, we can still be freedom!Author website: https://www.robinrosenbluth.com/Substack: https://robinrosenbluth.substack.com/Simon & Schuster website to purchase/order books: Simon & SchusterAmazon purchase: AmazonSupport the show

Everyone's suddenly drinking hydrogen water. Is it hype, or is there actually science behind it?Andrea met Paul Barattiero more than ten years ago at a health show in Toronto, back when almost nobody was talking about hydrogen water. Now it's everywhere, and a practitioner friend of Andrea's has been sending her studies about it almost daily. So she invited Paul on to explain what molecular hydrogen actually is, why he says it's not the same thing as the hydrogen in H2O, and what happens in the body when you drink it.Paul's route into this was personal. His wife spent the first decade of their marriage with heavy, painful periods, adenomyosis and significant anemia, losing about a week of every month to her bed. On a cruise in 2005, friends handed her a jug of water they couldn't really explain, and something shifted. That sent Paul down a twenty-year path that inspired him to launch Echo Water.In this conversation they talk about gut health, oxidative stress and inflammation, why hydrogen might behave more like a signal than a supplement, how much to drink and when, and what the menopause-specific research does and doesn't say yet. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- What molecular hydrogen (H2) is, and why "isn't hydrogen already in water" is the wrong question- Why your gut may be the reason you're not making hydrogen the way you used to- What oxidative stress and chronic inflammation actually mean- How much hydrogen water to drink a day, and why timing it around your workout may matter- What the menopause research covers so far, including bone density, sleep, blood sugar and heart healthCHAPTERS 3:10 Isn't Hydrogen Already in Water?

In Pining for You (Simon & Schuster, 2026) the classic Hallmark holiday movie gets turned upside down when a teen leaves her small-town Christmas tree farm in pursuit of the city girl who swept her off her feet in this cheeky and cozy rom-com by Food Network competitor Stef Ferrari. Bennie Bosley has Christmas spirit on lock. Her borderline magical ability to give the perfect gift, encyclopedic knowledge of holiday movies, and skill as a baker working at a literal Christmas tree farm mean she's the authority on all things merry. So, when Bennie sees sparkles after bumping into the most stunning girl she's ever seen in her small Connecticut town, her friends are all shocked that Bennie doesn't seem to realize what this is: real holiday magic at work…and the perfect opportunity for her much-needed first kiss. There's just one problem: her mystery girl, Eve, lives in Brooklyn and Bennie never got her number or her last name. But showing up unexpectedly to make a big romantic gesture is a classic holiday trope for a reason, right? And her friends aren't about to miss the fireworks. But what was supposed to be a quick Christmas adventure turns into a scramble across Brooklyn when the biggest snowstorm of the decade hits. Will Bennie and crew be able to track Eve down for a merrily ever after and still make it back for their last Cooper Farm Christmas Eve party, or is their holiday movie moment destined for the cutting room floor?

Are Your Hormones Really Out of Balance in Perimenopause? Dr. Sharon Stills, ND, Explains What's Happening and What to DoTold, "It's just aging"? Dr. Sharon Stills says perimenopause isn't a disease, and there's a real answer for your hormones.Dr. Sharon Stills spent her twenties as, in her own words, "a hot mess": PMS for two and a half weeks a month, migraines, allergies, asthma, and so much bloating that strangers asked when her baby was due. There was no baby. That was her hormones. Twenty-five years, one naturopathic medical degree, and a menopause of her own later, she's a licensed ND who's helped thousands of women rebalance their hormones, and she just opened a 7,000-square-foot healing center in Scottsdale with her son.In this episode, Andrea and Dr. Stills get into what bioidentical hormones actually are, why the cream your doctor gave you might not be working (hint: it's probably where you're putting it), and why she believes hormone decline, not "aging," is the real root cause of most perimenopause and menopause symptoms. They also cover the messy realities: insurance that won't cover hormone therapy, social media misinformation about compounded hormones, and why Dr. Stills had to fight her own insurance company over a continuous glucose monitor.If you've ever been told your hormones are "probably fine" without ever being tested, this one's for you.What you'll learn:Why perimenopause and menopause aren't a "disease," and what's actually declining in your bodyThe real difference between bioidentical hormones (BHRT) and synthetic HRT, and why your body can tellWhy rubbing hormone cream on your arms or belly might mean you're getting almost none of the benefitDoes vaginal estrogen go "systemic"?

Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn't either, until after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country that most media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA. What began as curiosity became--one story at a time--an intimate, revealing portrait of America today. From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals' homes, Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home (Simon and Schuster, 2026) captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn't a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: people who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we're more alike than we are different. Peter Santenello is an independent journalist and filmmaker with over four million subscribers on YouTube. Caleb Zakarin is CEO and Publisher of the New Books Network.

A man forged by war, paramilitary operative Kevin Rhoads is recruited for a solo extraction mission deep inside Siberia. CIA analyst Whitney Skyler's investigation into a Russian-backed bank on American soil leads to the President of the United States. Director Cynthia King plays an audacious gambit, leveraging a thirty-year debt of honor to save a captured American agent. But in this world of shifting alliances, even the most careful plans can unravel. Skyler faces an impossible choice: expose her mentor's dangerous game to protect national security or reveal the truth to Rhoads. Already shattered by loss, Rhoads discovers the devastating betrayal that will transform him into a force of vengeance, leaving death in his wake. From the war-torn streets of Damascus to the merciless Siberian tundra, from the rugged Kenai Peninsula to the polished corridors of Langley, Virginia, Beyond Honor is a white-knuckled thriller about duty, betrayal, and the impossible choices made by those who serve in the shadows.

Episode Description:Your lab work is not your health. Your biography is. Dr. Lucy McBride is a Harvard-trained internal medicine physician with 25 years of clinical practice and the author of Beyond the Prescription, published with Simon and Schuster in August 2026 with a foreword by Mary Claire Haver. She practices medicine the way almost no one does anymore: by treating the whole person, not the panel. This conversation moves through childhood trauma and metabolic disease, weight loss and GLP-1s, SSRIs and the one thing no pill will ever fix. It is one of the most honest conversations about what health actually is that Heal Thy Self has ever had. Dr. Lucy McBride's health takes: Take 1: "The lab work you get done with your doctor rarely shows the most interesting aspects of your health" Dr. McBride makes the case that biographic data is clinical data. Growing up in poverty, in a chaotic household, with an alcoholic parent — none of that appears on a blood panel, and all of it directly shapes how a patient thinks, eats, drinks, relates, and heals. Take 2: "The body is the scorekeeper" Chronic nervous system dysregulation does not stay in the nervous system. Dr. McBride explains how unprocessed emotional stress shows up as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity, and why prescribing a pill without asking the deeper question is solving the wrong problem entirely. Take 3: "Sometimes you don't need a GLP-1. Sometimes you just need to eat lunch" One of the most counterintuitive takes of the episode. Dr. McBride explains why chronic low-grade restriction sends the metabolism into survival mode, why stubborn weight that will not move is sometimes the body's response to not being fed enough, and why the first question to ask is about your relationship with food — not your caloric intake. Take 4: "Sometimes you don't need Prozac. You need a divorce" Dr. McBride closes with her most powerful take. SSRIs are not the problem — the system that prescribes them in five-minute appointments is. She makes the case that no amount of pharmacology can resolve the social and emotional toll of living in chronic fear or unhappiness, and that agency is the medicine no pill can replicate. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why abnormal metabolic markers are often downstream symptoms of chronic nervous system dysregulation, and why understanding a patient's emotional and social context changes the entire treatment picture  • Why the metabolism responds to restriction the same way it responds to famine, what that means for stubborn weight that will not move, and why your relationship with food is sometimes the most complicated relationship you have  • Why SSRIs are overprescribed not because they are bad but because the system does not have time to ask better questions, and what the actual work of mental health requires that no supplement or medication can substitute for Health is not about having all the answers. It is about asking better questions.

CAA literary agent Rachel Mann on what makes her say yes to a manuscript, how to navigate the submissions process without losing control of your career, and why cutting is the work that makes prose land. You'll learn Why the recognition an agent needs is physical rather than analytical. What to do when you're not sure your manuscript is ready to send out. How to buy more time after a full manuscript request without killing the momentum. Why telling other agents about your requests works in your favour, even if it feels grubby. The realistic rhythm for chasing an agent who has gone quiet. Whether refusing to use social media can cost a writer representation. A question worth answering before you sign with anyone, and why the answer shapes the edit. The edit most manuscripts need before submission, and why it rarely means adding. How poetry's distillation applies to prose, whatever you write. What still gives an agent hope in a market where people are reading less.

We often judge how "good" we are at relationships based on our dating and relationship history, but what if it's the least complete picture? In this episode, Julie explores why romantic relationships often become intertwined with our identity, causing breakups, rejection, or being single to feel like proof that we're "bad at relationships." She helps you look deeper at your connection portfolio and the other evidence of your capacity for healthy relationships. If dating has made you question your worth, this episode will help you separate your romantic outcomes from your ability to create deep, lasting connection.

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   Bernard Moitessier sailed around the world single-handed to win the first Golden Globe Race but when the reward was within his grasp he turned away from it and kept sailing for another three months because to keep on the original route (Plymouth to Plymouth) was like “leaving from nowhere to go nowhere.” [The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier]  Winning this race had no connection with Moitessier's true goal which was to “reach a point in space and consciousness that would enable him to bear witness to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. And to glimpse, however briefly, the sort of person he might become if he permitted himself to cross a kind of international dateline of the soul and merge with those things.” In the end he realized what many of us come to know in time: the journey itself was the destination. Story Prompt: What if the intention of an endeavor is to forge a connection inside yourself? What if the reward to the endeavor lays not in the result to which you were ostensibly striving but in the simple doing of the thing? Write that story and share it out loud!

Everybody seems to be telling entrepreneurs to write a book.Write it in a weekend. Use AI. Upload it to Amazon. Become a bestselling author. Watch the clients roll in.Except…that's not quite how it works.This week on Casa De Confidence, Julie sits down with publishing expert Ally Machate, founder of The Writer's Ally, to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to write and publish a book that supports your business, serves your reader, and creates lasting impact.With experience that includes working at Simon & Schuster and helping authors navigate the publishing process, Ally challenges one of the biggest assumptions in entrepreneurship: just because you can write a book doesn't necessarily mean you should—or that the book you're planning is the right one.Ally explains why the first question shouldn't be “What should I write?” but rather “What do I want this book to do?”Do you want it to attract clients? Generate speaking opportunities? Grow your email list? Establish thought leadership? Change the way people think about an issue?That answer changes everything.Julie also gets personal about her own publishing experience, including what she would do differently, the emotional reality of receiving developmental edits, and why publishing her book ultimately opened doors far beyond book sales.In This EpisodeWhat You'll HearWhy not every entrepreneur needs to write a bookThe difference between publishing a book and publishing a book people actually want to readWhy identifying your reader comes before writingHow a book can support your larger business strategyWhy your book is a product—not your babyWhat developmental editing actually doesWhy copyediting alone isn't enoughWhere AI can help authors—and where it still falls shortHow to create a transformational journey for your readerThe “macrocosm and microcosm” approach to structuring nonfictionTraditional publishing vs. hybrid publishing vs. DIY self-publishingWhat Ally calls supported indie publishingWhy distribution, ISBNs, Amazon KDP, and IngramSpark matterWhy giving books away can sometimes be smarter than selling themHow books create opportunities for coaching, consulting, speaking, and visibilityWhy becoming a bestseller isn't the only—or even necessarily the best—definition of publishing successOne of Ally's most important reminders?“If you're talking to everyone, you're connecting with no one.”Before investing months—or years—writing your book, get clear about the person you're writing for and what you want the book to accomplish.Because the goal isn't merely to become a published author.It's to write the right book.

Pat compares reckless AI development to ignoring his father's warnings about unprotected sex: powerful men believe disaster will never happen to them.

What happens when the tools meant to help us heal start getting in the way of how we connect? We're exploring the rise of therapy culture and how “therapy speak” is changing the way we approach dating, conflict, and relationships. We discuss why having the right words doesn't always mean we're doing the deeper work, how psychological labels can sometimes become a way to avoid accountability, and why not every uncomfortable moment is a sign of a toxic dynamic. We also unpack how to balance self-awareness with openness, curiosity, and the ability to navigate the imperfect moments that make relationships real.

Matthew traces the concept of wetiko — a Cree figure for a cannibal spirit whose hunger grows with what it consumes — from its original anticolonial and anti-imperialist meaning in Jack Forbes's 1992 book Columbus and Other Cannibals, through Derrick Jensen's anti-civilization lense, Ladha and Kirk's 2016 application to neoliberal capitalism, Paul Levy's syncretic New Age elaboration, and finally to Bernhard Guenther and Laura Matsue's QAnon-adjacent version.  Wetiko's metaphysical framing, inherited from Forbes's explicit rejection of Marxist materialism, left the concept open to spiritual recuperation by the right. He proposes a different application: reading wetiko through David Harvey's "capital surplus absorption problem," compound growth's insatiable hunger for profitable outlets.

Does going through hard times together make a relationship stronger—or is that just the story we've been told? In this episode, Yue explores whether deep connection is built through shared struggle or if love can grow just as profoundly without adversity. She reflects on how survival, sacrifice, and teamwork can forge incredible closeness, but can also create resentment, distance, and even break people apart.

In a shocking turn of events, a prestigious professor's life came crashing down, leaving behind a trail of deceit and controversy. This episode delves into the story of Jason R. Day, a 41-year-old black professor at Cambridge University, who was accused of plagiarizing his academic work and lying about his achievements. His memoir, set to be published by Simon and Schuster, was riddled with outlandish claims that raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate about the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. The speaker discusses how DEI policies can lead to the dilution of exceptionalism and the promotion of individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions. They argue that this approach can be detrimental to individuals who are truly talented and deserving of recognition. The episode also touches on the role of institutions like Cambridge University and publishers like Simon and Schuster in perpetuating this culture of deceit. The speaker highlights the case of Jason R. Day, who was given a professorship despite his questionable credentials and a memoir that was later found to be riddled with lies. They argue that this is a prime example of how DEI policies can lead to the promotion of individuals who are not truly qualified for their positions. The episode also explores the consequences of this approach, including the devastating impact on individuals like Jason R. Day. Join us as we explore the darker side of DEI policies and the consequences of promoting individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions.
