“Before Business made simple, I had never launched an online because even though I had all the courses, I never truly felt aligned. "Thanks to Emily I now know that in order to create amazing offers, I need to stay true to myself. "The biggest thing that I learned is that now I know that I'm exactly where I need to be. Business made simple has been a life-changing experience.”   - Jacquelyn Rodriguez   “Before joining, I knew that I was meant for more, but no matter what I tried, I always ended blank minded, just like something was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Emily's meditations allowed me to connect with my soulmate client and feel her pain and hear what she needed from me. I now have a much clearer vision of who I am working with, what she needs from me, and how to connect with her. I no longer feel the struggle of trying to come up with this on my own anymore. I have a sense of ease now, knowing that I will be able to accomplish my dream of reaching more women everywhere and helping them to feel beautiful on the inside and the outside.”  - Jenny Brereton   “Before working with Emily, I had been struggling with the how I could make my business work. "I had fears and doubts about my self worth and I was afraid to show up online and be my unique self. "Emily helped me release these fears, doubts and guided me through how I could make my business work. I've gained so much clarity. I have leveled up several times and I'm now confident enough to work in my business and be my unique self.”  - Allison Cotton   “Before a joining business made simple, I had all these ideas for my business, but I couldn't really figure out how they fit together and what I should be prioritizing. So I felt very confused, I was getting tired and frustrated. And I also was getting discouraged by feeling like nobody around me really understood what I was trying to do. "Joining business made simple was amazing because I not only became part of a community of like minded entrepreneurs who had similar, but also the meditations from Emily helped me to connect with my intuition and trust my decisions instead of just overthinking and getting stuck in my head wondering what I should be prioritizing. "I was able to really tune in with myself and make a plan that is aligned with myself. I realized that everything was starting to come together when all of a sudden I could see how these different pieces of the puzzle would fit together into one business that really makes sense to me and fits with my vision and my goals, and that has also helped me be more confident. I now have a clear plan to reach my business goals and I will be launching my first online course next month. I'm so glad that I made the choice to join business made simple. Thank you.”  - Abigail Seeterlin   “I signed up for business made simple shaking in my boots because I didn't have the money and I didn't realize at the time was that I didn't expect my business to be profitable. Fast forward to the end of business made simple. I tripled my income. I tripled my client load. I doubled my Facebook page following and my group following. And I realize now very, very, very solidly that I have a place in this world and that I have a mission. "So this class is really not just a course, but it's a whole environment designed for you to feel free to be the person you want to be, to try on who you've always imagined that you could be, and then you realize you can actually be that person in the real world. "So if you are looking for something that is going to not only move your business forward, but to catapult you to an entirely different level of being yourself. Then sign up. But be prepared to show up, because that's where the magic happens is when you come full on ready to play.”  - Kristina Jensen   “Before I joined business made simple, I was going it alone. I couldn't get my words out, and I was afraid to be seen and visible "Three years ago, I had an idea of what I want to do for business and I joined a course where the content was excellent and the steps needed to take were very clear but for some reason I could never launch. "So when business made simple opened up, I had decided I wasn't going to join because I had that other course and I just need to buckle down and do it. On the last day before Emily was going to close the window on business made simple, I jumped in on her Facebook live. I mentioned I was having trouble getting the words out. I knew what I wanted to say and do, but it couldn't put the words to paper or video. I was frozen. Emily replied that it sounded like it wasn't connected to my sole client and I need to create that connection and then it would flow. "What she said resonated with me so much and I joined immediately. I don't think there was just one thing that broke me free from my silence. I finally found my voice and the courage to become visible. The coaching and spiritual guidance you receive from Emily in the community is unique and life changing.”  - Lori Mjoen   “I've been an entrepreneur since 2005 and I knew that the goals that I had set for myself in both my life and my business were not going to be achieved by doing the same old things I had been doing all these years. "I now realized that I was missing was woo woo connection to help me get out of my head and more into my heart And the only thing that I can say that is different is that I was able to switch my mindset. "The program is completely life changing and you are going to be so fully supported by not only Emily herself but the amazing community and the Facebook group that comes along with it. So go out and do it. You are going to love it.”  - Mary Sue   “Before Business Made Simple, I had a lot of doubt and worry and I always questioned myself. "Now, I don't have those worries anymore. The difference is that I really trust my intuition. "The biggest thing I've taken from this class was it was the practice of daily meditation and connecting with my source and connecting with myself and taking that time. This is huge for me taking time to be quiet and be still and connect with myself. It's been incredible! I am so grateful for you guys, you have been so pivotal in my business and in my personal life more than anything else. “  - Susan Henderson   Students featured: Allison Cotton: Instagram: @allisoncotton111 Jacquelyn Rodriguez: Instagram: @jacquelynrodriguezintuitive Mary Sue: Instagram: @unleashedlife_ and marysue.fun Kristina Jensen: Instagram: @kristinaleejensen   Resources Mentioned: Abundance Week Business Made Simple

The Flicker of Old Dreams, by Susan Henderson, won the Spur Award for Fiction, as well as the Willa Cather Award, and is a finalist for the High Plains Book Award for fiction. Mildred Walker's Winter Wheat, which was published in 1945, was a finalist for the National Book Award.

She'll share how she navigates the social scene as an introvert and how to network authentically without stepping a foot outside of your door. We'll discuss which avenues worked best to promote her novels and attract new readers, and, how she researches and prepares to write months and sometimes years in advance. Susan Henderson is a five-time Pushcart Prize nominee, the recipient of an Academy of American Poets award and a Hawthornden International Fellowship.

Turf (Counterpoint Press) Blazing through states, cities, towns, continents, Crane fearlessly pivots from micro to macro, humor to tragedy, past to present, mixing an off-kilter sensibility with a heartbreaking reality, guiding us into the fringed and often fantastical lives of her characters. And that has never been truer than in her new collection, Turf. The end of the world as seen through a young couple in Brooklyn, who find a baby in a bucket on their front step; a group of geniuses who meet every Wednesday, able to unlock all the secrets of the universe except for the unknowable mystery of love; a woman and her dog walker whose friendship is uprooted by an incident at the park; these are dark, intriguing vistas explored in Crane’s glowing collection. For as places change, and people come and go, these stories in Turf remind us that it is the unchanging nature of the human heart that connects us all. Praise for Elizabeth Crane: "The novel flows smoothly, and readers game for offbeat narrative approaches will be well rewarded . . . So much like the relationship they’re borne of, Crane’s deeply realized mother-daughter inventions are therapeutic and ruthless, heartfelt and crushing. A lovely exercise in the wild, soothing wonders of imagination.” —Booklist, Starred Review  “Poignant and hilarious . . . Crane writes about the relationship between a deceased mother and her daughter as they tell each other’s stories to understand each other.” —Los Angeles Times “Imagine sitting at a leisurely dinner with two intelligent women, a mother and daughter . . . The format may be experimental, but the emotions the book will stir in readers are moving and heartbreakingly familiar.” —Library Journal “I cannot remember the last time I simultaneously cried and laughed as hard as I did while reading Elizabeth Crane’s glorious, tender knockout of a novel, The History of Great Things. Wait, yes I can. It was the last time I spoke to my mom about life.” —Amber Tamblyn, author of Dark Sparkler “A poignant dual narrative . . . Alternating between laugh-out-loud humor and heart-rending melancholy, Crane gives us a mother and daughter who never quite grasp each other’s life stories, but who find truth through unconditional love.” —Bookpage “Ultimately, The History of Great Things is a story of perception, one well worth reading. It serves as a reminder that what truly matters to each of us is not what actually happens, but how we remember it.”  —The Rumpus  “An important work, fearless in both structure and vision, with Crane’s razor-edge fusion of intelligence, humor, and emotion informing every chapter. Get ready, world: this one’s going to be huge.” —Jamie Quatro, author of I Want to Show You More  “Like everything Elizabeth Crane writes, The History of Great Things is wonderful fun to read—smart, insightful, and witty—but it will break your heart, too. It stares down the poignant question so many daughters want to ask: How well did my mother really know me?” —Pamela Erens, author of Eleven Hours and The Virgins “The Copelands would feel right at home in a Noah Baumbach movie . . . Our narrator is an omniscient ‘We’ who reports the goings-on of the family with the breathless glee of an incurable gossip.”—Entertainment Weekly “Its style is literary, with an edge: The point of view is wicked, the characters prickly, the language not quite quotable here. I can’t wait to read past the first chapter.”—Los Angeles Times “Like any good story writer, she had me in the first two paragraphs . . . A treat to read. The characters are crisp and enjoyable; the narrator is smart and witty.”—Iowa Press-Citizen “This is an irresistible and winsome read. A truly astute tale of love neglected and reclaimed, family resiliency, spiritual inquiries, and personal metamorphoses.” —Booklist, Starred Review  “Crane delivers a unique and dizzying tale that delves into the emotional life of a family teetering on the brink of everything . . . The beauty in Crane’s novel is her sweep from acid commentary to heartfelt portrayal of real-life loves and losses.” —Kirkus Reviews“Crane’s novel is filled with deliciously idiosyncratic characters, humorous and distinct narration, and a whole lot of personality. Each character’s emotional growth is just enough to satisfy, without being overbearing . . . Crane’s summer novel has undeniable heart.” —Publishers Weekly “At last a novel from Elizabeth Crane! With her expert humorist’s eye for detail, she gives us a playful, passionate story of longing, heartbreak, and of the gargantuan human will. You won’t be able to stop reading.” —Deb Olin Unferth, author of Revolution“Not since The Royal Tenenbaums have I loved a family so much. The Copelands of We Only Know So Much are wonderfully eccentric, hilariously not self-aware and strangely adorable. They seemed so real, I felt like I was reading my own family story.” —Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Drinking Closer to Home“This is the kind of book that inspires a person to see the beauty in the ordinary, to stop concentrating on others’ failings long enough to see their spark and maybe rediscover his or her own.”—Susan Henderson, author of Up from the Blue“A beautiful, warmhearted, ferociously honest debut that will pull you in with its chorus of true voices and catch you off guard with its playful, restless edginess.” —Patrick Somerville, author of The Cradle and This Bright River Elizabeth Crane is the author of the novels The History of Great Things and We Only Know So Much and three collections of short stories. Her stories have been featured on NPR’s Selected Shorts. She is a recipient of the Chicago Public Library 21st Century Award, and her work has been adapted for the stage by Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company. She currently lives in Newburgh, New York

EARTH AID NOW! Radio speaks with Linsey McLean & Susan Henderson about Powertech/Azarga and why stopping the EPA from permitting uranium mining near Edgemont is imperative. As Talli Sauman, writing in Native Sun News, on April 19th relates, the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance and others are calling for people "to provide written comment by May 19, and for oral or written testimony at four hearings April 27 through May 11 on EPA draft permits that would allow uranium mining and waste disposal to take place in the underground water tables at the Dewey Burdock site in the southern Black Hills." "Headquartered in China, Azarga Uranium Corp., formerly Powertech Uranium Corp., wants an EPA underground injection permit for 4,000 wells in the Inyan Kara Group of aquifers, so it can conduct in situ leach (ISL) mining and milling of yellow cake on the 10,000-acre site it is leasing at the Cheyenne River headwaters 50 miles west of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Edgemont." "The company also wants EPA to grant it a deep underground disposal well permit, allowing the mine and mill to pump its wastewater through four wells into the Minnelusa Aquifer for final disposition at a depth of 2,800 feet." As Debra White Plume of Owe Aku Bring Back the Way says, "Our water has been contaminated by uranium mining for 30 years. It has spread its toxins and contaminants through our aquifers and waterways negatively impacting the people, animals, plants and birds who live in our territory.  Cancer, liver disease, diabetes and myriad health problems plague the Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in what amounts to environmental genocide."  

Karen Stefano, author of The Secret Games of Words, in conversation with Susan Henderson, author of Up from the Blue.
