Hi! Carmel Valley schools are operating on a half-day schedule all week, and we're in the middle of an extreme heat wave, so it feels like a mini spring break before real spring break is upon us in April. I know a lot of your kids have spring break this month (my friend Mary Pell is visiting from North Carolina right now for her daughter's spring break!), so today we're sharing a few spring break-related things, should it be on your radar right now, too.Whether or not you're in a spring break time of life: spring as a season will be official on Friday! To celebrate, Saturday's new recipe includes my favorite spring vegetable, asparagus, but in the meantime, we wanted to share our team's personal favorite super-springy recipes from the archives to welcome the new season. And lest you forget: there's a whole “spring” section in the What to Cook recipe index — along with many, many more categories based on cook time, protein, and mood. If you're ever needing inspiration for dinner, let the index be your guide. Also worth noting if you're a Substack app user: we are VERY happy to report that the WTC index is pinned again under “posts” when you're on the WTC homepage within the app. The pinned posts went missing for a few weeks but they're back, baby!Caro's: sheet-pan spring salmonThis is perhaps the springiest weeknight dinner recipe I've ever written. Dilly sauce, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and salmon with lots of lemon… it's so fresh and delicious. It's also both gluten- and dairy-free as written and is delicious served either right out of the oven or at room temp, so you could cook the entire meal ahead of time, let it cool, and store it covered in the fridge. Bring it out 30-ish minutes before dinner to let it come to room temperature, then dig in! It's a total crowd pleaser. There's an even simpler version of this meal — it omits the potatoes — in WTC the book on page 40! Jillian's: crispy artichoke and chicken saladArtichokes are one of my favorite spring vegetables! This is a good-all-week salad that combines roasted marinated artichokes with chicken that you marinate in the artichoke brine, a can of white beans, kale, homemade croutons, and the most addicting, springy lemon-Parm dressing out there. I typically eat vegetarian and highly endorse the mushroom vegetarian riff that Caro suggests! Molly's: roasted asparagus farrottoI cooked this meal one day last week after the time change and it was a perfect springy experience. I sipped a glass of white wine (the same wine I used later for the recipe!) while the asparagus and farro roasted away in the oven and the evening sunlight (!!) poured through the windows. It's VERY tasty, and Caro's asparagus-roasting hack in this recipe — you cook it on an inverted pot lid! — always makes me feel like a pro. Do you have a favorite springy WTC recipe?!Whether you're traveling this season or not, these “vacation house” meal plans will get you in the springy and/or spring break spirit! Version one + version two. I'm taking my older boys on a very adventure-heavy spring break trip with Lonely Planet Journeys (formerly known as Elsewhere, the travel company that sent me on the Camino and to Patagonia!) next month. It'll be my first real trip with kids that isn't a plop vacation by the pool/beach — we are going to be making our own chocolate from native cacao! Snorkeling in cenotes! Exploring ancient ruins! We are all so excited and grateful for the opportunity.That said, my typical spring break plan is to go somewhere that I can plop in front of a body of water (pool, beach, lake, etc.) with the kids, and have easy access to a house or hotel room with all the creature comforts we may need. Other years, we hang at home and go to the pool after work and/or on local outings that we can't usually do when the kids are in school. Whatever your plans may be, here's a random collection of spring break tips and things we are loving.* I've said this before but one of my favorite vacation tricks is shipping a Thrive order to the rental house with pantry staples, kids snacks and meals (like Goodles!), and any other miscellaneous things we'll need during the trip like sunscreen, dish soap, diapers, etc. I love that when I'm filling my Thrive box I don't have to study the ingredients lists — they have a strict vetting process to ensure that everything they carry is organic and free from more than 1,000 artificial, synthetic, and GMO ingredients. It also saves me money!!! The membership's only $5 a month, they run sales all the time within their membership, and the items are already priced up to 30% off retail. Click here to get 30% off your first order and a free $60 gift of your choice when you sign up. And as a reminder, new-to-Thrive WTC Insiders get $25 off their first four orders (plus lots of other perks)! * I got this suit in black for Mexico and it's a really nice middle ground between mom suit and sexy suit. It's definitely VERY SNUG in my normal size, so size up if you're on the fence about going up or down!* At the pool this week three of my friends had this sun hat and it looked so good on everyone! I'm a ball cap person but I know I need to become a sun hat person for more coverage, ugh. * I continue to be obsessed with this glowy face sunscreen. It's honestly helping me remember to wear SPF every day because I love the way it brightens up my face when I'm not wearing makeup!* Loeffler Randall gifted me a really great travel tote bag and it got a lot of use in February. I love that it slides onto the handle of my roller bag and actually stays in place, it fits under the airplane seat nicely, and has tons of storage compartments. And it's nylon, so it transitions from airplane to poolside splashes nicely.* Speaking of roller bags, I just got a new one and I'm VERY into it. I really prefer a hard shell when I'm trying to cram WAY too much stuff into a carry-on (like for my 10-day business trip in February!), and this one has tons of great storage compartments and glides really nicely.* I just ordered these Bermuda shorts! In black. I'm very excited about them!! * From Molly: I went shopping at Vuori this past weekend in NYC and found another pair of my all-time favorite shorts, the Villa, in this new color. I wear them everywhere — exercise classes, my kids' sports practices and games, and as a coverup at the beach and pool. They have a wonderfully roomy thigh, dry quickly, and are just the comfiest. I also got this tee — I'm a shorty and the crop hits perfectly with high-waisted bottoms like the Villas. (From Caro: I've been thinking about ordering these!! We love a roomy thigh. I've been getting a lot of wear out of my fave $20 shorts but they're more athletic looking than the Villa.)* Speaking of coverups…* From Caro: I've been wearing this button-up dress to the pool (and around town) all week (and I wore it all last summer while pregnant and postpartum!).* From Molly: I shared this Quince coverup last year but can update that it held up well all summer (and we live at the beach so I wore it a ton!). It stretches out/gets weighed down a bit when it's wet, but shrinks back up once washed and dried. I love this one, too, that's similar but collared. I'm also excited for an order from this sister-owned small business to arrive soon — I'm trying to invest in more UPF-50 coverups!* From Molly: One last staple I'll be packing for beach outings this spring: my Reefs! The back strap makes them easy to walk through soft sand in (I hate it when flip flops fling sand up my legs!), and you can hose them down afterward.Every week, we dig into the What to Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup.1. farro fattoush, 2025Here's another springy good-all-week salad that will hold up well in the fridge for days! This one packs farro, chickpeas, tons of herbs, crunchy veg, a punchy lemony dressing, and poached chicken for protein. It's fresh, herby, and satisfying in a way that makes a lunch (or dinner!) salad feel like a real meal, not a side dish.2. the ultimate easy-but-fancy spring menu, 2024Your blueprint for a special occasion spring meal that comes together with zero stress: slow-roasted lamb, lemony potatoes, a bright salad, asparagus, and Gruyère & black pepper biscuits with hot honey butter! It comes with a full plan of attack to keep things seamless, but you can also mix and match pieces for a simpler, just-as-delicious meal.3. rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy frizzled cabbage, 2023A sheet-pan dinner where the chicken does double duty — roasting on top of cabbage so all that schmaltzy goodness drips down and transforms it. Add buttery sweet potatoes and you've got a cozy, low-effort, high-reward situation. From WTCer Jill: “Wow. My husband kept saying, ‘this is restaurant quality'… The cabbage is SO GOOD… And the chicken was so moist and flavorful. First time cooking a whole chicken and this recipe made it so easy.”4. roasted harissa chicken and sweet potato bowls, 2022Jammy, caramelized sweet potatoes and harissa-roasted chicken layered over a cool, creamy swoop of yogurt or labne — then finished with crunchy nuts, pops of sweet dried fruit, and a squeeze of lemon. This meal hits every note (spicy, creamy, tangy, crunchy) and is endlessly adaptable depending on what you have.5. one-skillet crispy chicken burrito bowls, 2021So many of you have this recipe on repeat — it's easy, reliable, and a total crowd-pleaser. Rice cooks in salsa until it's rich and flavorful, chicken gets golden and crispy on top, and everything finishes with melty, bubbly cheese under the broiler.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means we may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

Elaine sits down with Melody Crisp, co-founder of humanitarian charity Thrive, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it actually takes to create change in the world's most forgotten crisis zones. From the reality of displaced communities in Myanmar to the collapse of global aid funding following USAID cuts, this episode pulls back the curtain.Melody breaks down why the traditional top-down charity model is broken, how Thrive is flipping the script by funding local leaders with local solutions, and why $5 genuinely changes lives. Together they tackle donor fatigue, ethical storytelling, the trauma of doom-scrolling, and what it means to show up as an activist without burning yourself out. This is a masterclass in conscious leadership, humanitarian innovation, and the quiet, consistent power of doing the next right thing.Key takeawaysLocal people usually know best what their communities actually need, and aid works better when they lead the solutions. Traditional aid systems often dilute impact because money gets filtered down through layers of administration before reaching people on the ground. Thrive focuses on getting funding closer to grassroots leaders already doing meaningful work in Myanmar. Sustainable support matters more than good optics. A water filtration system can create far more long-term impact than short-term bottled water distribution. Education is not just about schooling. In conflict zones, it can help protect children from recruitment, exploitation, and loss of life. Real community development starts by asking what strengths already exist, not just what is broken. Ethical storytelling matters. Humanitarian work should respect people's dignity, safety, and reality, rather than exploiting trauma for attention. Small contributions genuinely matter. Even modest donations can have a real and measurable effect in communities facing crisis. Hope is not passive. It is built through action, relationships, and people choosing to show up consistently, even when the problems feel overwhelming. Links:Thrive OrganizationPodcastathon Charity Event
Horses have tiny engines within almost every cell of their bodies, and each of these runs on fuel that comes from the food they eat. These engines are called mitochondria. This podcast describes these engines and what happens to our horses when they stop working efficiently. One thing is for certain: adding more fuel doesn't help them run better. The only way to improve the health of horses is to improve the way their mitochondria work. But is producing power the only thing mitochondria do? Research into mitochondria shows that these powerhouses of the cell were once bacteria with their own DNA, and they communicate with each other and insert snippets of their DNA into the human DNA. They also need time to clean up and repair themselves. They can operate on two different fuels, but exhaust themselves when running on only one, becoming stuck and unable to switch to the other. This leads to poor health, breakdowns, and premature death. ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place to learn about horses, barns, and farms.

Quitting at the right time takes more discipline than pushing to the top. Elite high-altitude mountaineer David Göttler talks with Joe De Sena about turning around 100 meters from Everest without oxygen, using fear as data at 8,000 meters, and why getting down is mandatory. They break down decision rules, ego control, endurance, and training mental toughness before the crisis hits. Hard standards matter. Disciplined decisions wins. Resilience must hold when energy and clarity drop. Things You Will Learn: How to set hard turnaround rules and keep them. How to use fear as a signal, not a weakness. How to train in discomfort so performance holds under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pre-Set Rules: Decide at sea level. Execute at 8,000 meters. Hard Turnaround Time: Summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory. Discomfort Training: Train tired. Train cold. Train when you don't feel like it. If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses. David Göttler's relationship with the mountains began in fear—at age ten, he froze in panic during his first climb and didn't return for three years, before choosing persistence over comfort and committing his life to the mountains. Now an elite high-altitude mountaineer known for climbing light and fast without supplemental oxygen, he has summited multiple 8,000-meter peaks and learned that survival at the edge depends on discipline, self-awareness, and the strength to turn back when ambition threatens good judgment.

In this episode of The Feminine Frequency, we sit down with Jen Underwood, a somatic expert and "relationship business coach," to deconstruct the traditional hustle-culture definition of capacity. We're moving beyond the industrial-age idea of output and diving deep into the intersection of nervous system regulation, emotional bandwidth, and narrative power. Jen shares her powerful journey from being a solo mom on welfare to building a thriving coaching empire, and how she helps women stop the cycle of "push and collapse" to find a sustainable, soulful flow.Themes:Why capacity isn't just about how much you can do, but how much you can hold across three pillars: Change(productivity/risk), Emotional (presence/intimacy), and Narrative (resilience/reactivity).Viewing your business not as a machine, but as an interdependent relationship. How do we balance our needs, the business's needs, and our clients' needs without falling into codependency?The courage it takes to clear the table, let go of programs or habits that no longer serve you, and create a blank slate for your next level of expansion.Moving beyond "cute" mindset work to understand how the stories we believe (like being "shadow-banned") can either empower us or keep us in a victim cycle.Why a "boundary" isn't a rigid rule, but a self-honoring practice that should shift with your seasons, your cycle, and your life changes.A Permission slip to blend luxury with productivity. How to meet the needs of your business while honoring your body's need for rest (yes, you can record audios from the tub!).Finding the "Emotional Dominatrix" energy—the balance between a firm back (discipline) and a soft front (grace).SPECIAL OFFER:

Today on Open Book, I'm joined by legendary venture capitalist Bill Gurley, whose new book Runnin' Down a Dream challenges a lot of the career advice we give young people. Bill argues that the safest career path isn't the “safe job” at all—it's finding something you're genuinely fascinated by and chasing it relentlessly. We're going to talk about curiosity, regret, and how to build a career you actually love. Bill Gurley is a general partner at Benchmark, a leading venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. Over his venture career, he has invested in and served on the board of such companies as Nextdoor, OpenTable, Stitch Fix, Uber, and Zillow. Gurley has written about technology and other subjects on his popular blog, Above the Crowd, for over 20 years. This is a sensational book.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are actually really bad at predicting what will make them happy long term. When it comes to dating, many people get stuck on a rigid “type” which is usually a checklist of traits they think their partner must have. But interestingly, research shows that while most people have a long list of qualities they want, they often end up perfectly happy with someone who only matches a few of them.So how do you figure out what will actually make you happy in a relationship?And how do you evaluate that when dating apps mostly let you filter by superficial traits like height, looks, or career?If you've ever wondered about this (or you know someone struggling in the dating world right now) Listen to it now, and share it with a friend who's struggling in dating right now. ---►► Watch My Free Masterclass: How To Heal From Heartbreak8 Proven Steps to Release the Past, Rebuild Your Confidence, and Thrive in Your Next Chapter: Heartbreakplan.com Hosted on Acast.

Why does it feel like the strategies that used to work online suddenly aren't working the same way anymore? Many entrepreneurs are noticing that their launches feel harder, their content isn't reaching the same audiences, and the old rules of social media growth seem less reliable than they once were. In this episode, Nicole explores the deeper shift happening beneath the surface—and why this moment may actually be a powerful opportunity for thoughtful, purpose-driven entrepreneurs. Nicole introduces the idea of the "authority economy," a shift away from the attention-driven online world where popularity, algorithms, and follower counts dominated success. Today's audiences are becoming far more discerning about who they trust and where they invest their time and money. Instead of chasing quick fixes, people are beginning to look for real perspective, credibility, and experience from the experts they follow. You'll hear why this change may actually benefit entrepreneurs whose work goes deeper—those whose ideas are nuanced, transformational, and not easily compressed into short-form content. Nicole also shares why platforms that allow for depth and thought leadership are becoming more important as audiences seek richer conversations and meaningful insight. If you've ever felt frustrated by the pressure to constantly chase visibility or keep up with algorithm-driven strategies, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective. Listen now!

Amanda talks with Stephanie Buckwalter of Adapted Home Education about homeschooling students with special needs and how a developmental approach can help families navigate learning challenges. Stephanie shares from more than 25 years of homeschooling experience with children who have a wide range of learning profiles, including gifted students, typical learners, and a daughter with significant special needs. They discuss how focusing on development rather than curriculum can help parents better understand their child's learning patterns and create meaningful progress, even when learning feels slow or unpredictable. Stephanie also previews several of the workshops she will present at Thrive!, including sessions on developmental learning, supporting students with significant learning delays, practical strategies that influence learning outcomes, and planning for life after high school for students who may need long-term support. Later in the episode, Amanda and Melanie continue the Real World Readiness series by discussing the importance of teaching children how to write a signature.

Why do men cheat? Why do they keep cheating? Can a man love you and still betray you? Why won't he talk about the affair? And how do you know if he's truly changed? In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with my husband, Shawn, to answer the real questions women ask after infidelity—the same questions they post in my Facebook group, whisper to themselves at 2 a.m., and type into Google when their world has fallen apart. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and incredibly real. Shawn shares openly from the perspective of the betrayer—not as a clinician, but as a man who lived it, hid it, justified it, and ultimately had to face the truth of what he had done. Together, we talk about validation, compartmentalization, shame, emotional avoidance, repair, trust, intrusive thoughts, and what genuine transformation actually looks like over time. This is not a conversation about excusing betrayal. It's a conversation about understanding it clearly enough to stop repeating the cycle. If you have ever wondered whether he truly understands the pain he caused… whether change is real… or whether healing is possible for you, this episode will meet you there. Top 3 Takeaways Cheating is often a coping mechanism—not an honest solution. Shawn shares how seeking validation, emotional immaturity, and unresolved childhood wounds fueled his choices. This doesn't excuse betrayal, but it does explain why many people cheat instead of leaving or speaking the truth. Real repair requires far more than saying “I'm sorry.” Healing only began when the conversation stopped being about words and started being about transformation, accountability, emotional safety, and the ability to stay present with discomfort. Trust is not rebuilt through promises. It's rebuilt through patterns. This episode breaks down the difference between performance and real change, why trauma triggers can still arise years later, and how trust is rebuilt one regulated, honest, consistent moment at a time.

It's rebuilt through patterns.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Owen is the author of The Power of Love and The Love Switch, where he explores how courage, care, and authentic connection transform leadership and business outcomes.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Owen Burns to explore the powerful role that love, defined as courage, care, and authenticity, plays in sales and leadership. Owen explains that “selling from the heart” means having the courage to genuinely care for others, even when outcomes are uncertain.He challenges the common belief that the opposite of love is hate, arguing instead that fear is the real barrier preventing people from building meaningful relationships and taking action. Owen introduces his relationship frameworks, Seven to Heaven and Five to Thrive, which help leaders and sales professionals build, strengthen, and sustain trust-based relationships.The conversation also highlights the Love Switch, a practical technique for responding with intention rather than reacting from fear. By recognizing fear and reframing interactions with empathy and clarity, sales professionals can foster deeper engagement, healthier conversations, and stronger long-term business relationships.KEY TAKEAWAYSCourage to care is the foundation of authentic selling and leadership.Fear, not hate, is the primary barrier that prevents meaningful conversations and relationships.The Seven to Heaven framework builds trust through truth, desire, courageous communication, humility, equality, commitment, and intimacy.The Five to Thrive principles sustain relationships through inspiration, patience, kindness, forgiveness, and celebration.The Love Switch process helps professionals respond intentionally rather than reacting from fear.Accountability grounded in care creates growth and stronger relationships.Loneliness and disconnection impact workplace performance and employee well-being.Trust-centered leadership unlocks deeper engagement and stronger results.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSelling from the heart comes down to one simple thing: showing up with the courage to care.”“The opposite of love isn't hate—it's fear.”“Love is not the absence of leadership—love is the essence of leadership.”“When leaders show up with love—courage, care, and clarity—they unlock deeper engagement and stronger business results.”“Being nice and showing up with love are different things.”“We need to flip the switch—react out of love rather than respond out of fear.”“Sometimes we think the work ends when the relationship begins—but that's when the real work starts.”ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

It's Lent and even though I'm an Agnostic it's a very important time for me. In this episode I explain how that's possible. Is the road to Hell paved with good intentions or are do good intentons all that matters? I help a lazy new client try to deal with his concerns. How could contemplative nuns figure into this? Does the Old Testament have a talking donkey in there? Ever have a Spanish Teacher with a Southern drawl? Another new client wants to know if he becomes a pedophile when he turns 18 while his girlfriend is still 17. And someone wants help getting Lightening and Thunder, the Neil Diamond tribute band, into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. I'm onboard and I also do a new song, "I Think I Might," which is an homage to Neil Diamond and his classic hit "I Am I Said." With AI we can finally all put out our own version of that classic song that is a confessional, soul bearing, gut wrenching ballad which exposes our inner feelings and dreams through imagery and words that might mean something or nothing at all. And it's all over in less than 20 minutes. Subscribe and THRIVE!

Send a textLiving with autoimmune disease can often feel isolating. Many people find themselves navigating fatigue, pain, or uncertainty while also trying to keep up with everyday life. In clinical practice, conversations often focus on tests, supplements, and dietary protocols. While these are important, healing rarely happens in isolation from the rest of our lives. Emotional wellbeing, nervous system safety, and meaningful connection all play a significant role in how the immune system functions.In this Friday 5 episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I explore why connection is such an important — and often overlooked — part of recovery. Rather than viewing autoimmune disease purely through the lens of symptoms and treatment plans, we look at how rebuilding relationships with ourselves, with others, and with our environment can support long-term healing.The episode explores five ways to rebuild connection while living with autoimmune disease. We begin by reframing our relationship with the body, recognising that symptoms are not signs of failure but signals from an immune system responding to internal stress. From there, we discuss the value of creating small “micro-moments” of safety throughout the day, such as morning light exposure or slow breathing, which can help calm the nervous system.We also explore the importance of finding an understanding community, rebuilding social energy at a sustainable pace, and reconnecting with meaning and purpose beyond illness. Together, these shifts can help restore trust in the body, reduce isolation, and support a more holistic path toward healing.

In his book Letters to a Young PoetCelebrated author and poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote:“Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”In 2025, with the publication of her beautiful book:How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of UncertaintyJournalist and applied behavioral scientist, Elizabeth Weingarten carries Rilke's work forward. Through contemporary research, powerful storytelling, and her beautifully written prose,Elizabeth charts a new path for personal growth—a way to embrace the questions of our lives instead of seeking fast, easy answers.She writes:“What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people, understandably, seize answers dispensed by "experts," influencers, gurus, and more. But these fast, easy, one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers?”In today's conversation we'll explore the fascinating possibility of living the questions. Elizabeth will share stories from her journey of discovering a fresh, evidence-based approach for navigating uncertainty. One inspired by Rilke's 150-year-old advice, and the moving stories of many others, whose lives have transformed through a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty.Elizabeth's work offers a powerful reminder:When we find the courage to love the questions of our livesIt opens the door the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive -That is, in the moments where don't know what will happen next.For more on Elizabeth, her book, and other offerings please visit elizabethweingarten.comEnjoying the show?

I'm here. I'm the ultimate product of Hitler's defeat: https://naomialderman.substack.com/p/look-at-me-im-here-im-the-ultimate Day 13 of the war with Iran — and the conflict just got bigger. Overnight, 200 rockets were fired at Israel from Lebanon. Hezbollah, which many believed had been neutered, is back. This week, Yonit and Jonathan take stock of a war that is growing, not winding down. They're joined by General David Petraeus — former CIA Director, commander of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and one of the most clear-eyed voices on American military strategy. Petraeus breaks down what the US and Israel have actually achieved so far: missile launches are down over 90%, air defenses have been dismantled, and over 6,000 targets hit. But the new Khamenei? "We wanted a Delcy Rodriguez," he says. "We got a young Kim Jong-un." And he's blunt about what comes next: Iran's a million men under arms, and nobody has a clean exit.

Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don't get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: CHOOSE SELF-CARE. Self-care and compassion make such a difference, but sometimes we back off from them because we don't want to disappoint others. Think about the last time somebody modeled self-care and how you reacted. Try an act of self-care yourself.WHO ARE YOU NOW? Where are you getting stuck in old stories? Who are you now? I was once really dogmatic about food. It served me well at the time, but now, not so much. Are the decisions you would have made a decade ago that feel different now? Slow down and look at the boundaries and decisions in your life now. Are you working from an old story?CHECK OUT SKINNY60. I've done this program several times and I keep learning more and adjusting to my now body.

Tantra and Yoga are practices rooted in Indic spiritual traditions that share long, intertwined and complex histories. Often, we encounter tantra and yoga as forms of exercise, self-care, sex, or as pathways to personal wellness. However, these powerful, multifaceted practices are much more than that. * In this episode, Dr. Anna Corwin, Chair of the CIIS Women's Spirituality Program facilitates an illuminating conversation between Dr. Sundari Johansen, Assistant Professor of Women's Spirituality, and Anjali Rao, yoga practitioner-educator and author of Yoga as Embodied Resistance. * This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on October, 16th 2025.

Hi! First of all, I recorded a voiceover of this So Into That! Click the play button above if you'd like to listen. I really, really tried not to cry, but it was just a crying kind of day apparently.I've had a wild few weeks of travel — both for pleasure to Mexico with the kids, and then, eight hours after landing from Mexico, I left for a 10-day work trip that included announcing my new book on Good Morning America, delivering a keynote at my alma mater (go Heels), taping an upcoming appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, bringing my 5-year-old along for the second half of the trip, and having a bazillion meetings and coffees in between.That 10-day trip marked the end of breastfeeding my fourth baby. I breastfed my first baby for 14 months, my second baby for 12 months, my third baby for six months, and my fourth baby for seven months. That's three years and three months of breastfeeding. Before I go on, I want to say that I am not writing this to glorify breastfeeding. Any way you feed your baby is absolutely perfect. Formula rules. Giving a baby a pumped milk or formula bottle is just as cozy and wonderful (and also difficult at times) as breastfeeding, and provides many or all of the same moments I share below. But I did breastfeed (in combination with formula for my last two babies), so, now that that chapter of my life is behind me, I wrote a toast to it, to say goodbye.Breastfeeding: You made my boobs resemble empty wind socks, you made me question every single food or drink I had consumed in a 48-hour period whenever my baby wiggled slightly too much in his sleep, you made me smell so, so bad, you made my nipples bleed, you made my boobs leak in so many public places, and, according to my math, you consumed roughly 2,400 hours, aka 99 entire days, of my life over the past seven years. You also allowed me to spend precious hours alone with my tiny, perfect babies, to escape countless boring conversations, to get out of so many tedious obligations, and to hide in dark rooms at parties. You created quiet pockets of time in the middle of loud, busy life. You gave me thousands of small moments with my babies that I'll never quite be able to explain to anyone who wasn't there with us. I have loved you, I have hated you, and I have felt pretty whatever about you, sometimes all in the same minute. And it's time for us to say goodbye forever. But before we do, here's a toast to you. To the 1 a.m. feeds, the 3 a.m. feeds, the 3:45 a.m. feeds, the 5 a.m. feeds, and the 5:32 a.m. feeds, when the whole house was silent except for the rhythmic, baby-piglet snorts and gulps. To that first successful latch. To that first public breastfeeding session when you're still trying to maintain a shred of modesty. To that last public breastfeeding session when you've thrown modesty to the wind. To the newly postpartum oxytocin blasts that felt like drugs. To never ever sitting in the rocking chair that my mother-in-law so lovingly bought me, instead preferring to breastfeed in bed, surrounded by pillows, in what my sons aptly named “mama's nest.”To the frantic “I NEED WATER! SERIOUSLY, I'M DYING, PLEASE HELP ME RIGHT NOW!” shouts to my husband. To the times he handed it to me before I even asked and it felt like the truest form of love. To my sons asking “does he need to drink yer boob!?” every time the baby cried. To all the food dropped on my babies' heads. To going from breastfeeding being a quiet, peaceful time to learning how to breastfeed while kissing toddler boo boos, or feeding myself lunch, or building MagnaTile castles, or making snacks. To living life to a soundtrack of white noise. To crying while listening to Michelle Obama's memoir in my first baby's first nursery. To flipping the pages of so many books with my chin because I didn't have any free hands.To my body literally having a super power: the ability to instantly calm a baby. To powering through the extreme discomfort of breastfeeding on the bleachers at a baseball game or on a 90-degree day at a water park or on one of those tiny chairs at a pre-K teacher conference. To the hours spent pinned under a sleeping child, oscillating between feeling trapped and feeling like I was exactly where I was meant to be. To the way a soft diaper-clad newborn felt curled against my soft, squishy postpartum body. To the milk drunk faces. To the milk that dribbled out of the side of their mouth when they couldn't even stay awake long enough to finish that mouthful. To kissing their little face and tasting the sugariness of my own milk and being kind of grossed out but not really.To helping me get to know my babies. To helping me understand every single noise they made except for the really weird ones that made me and my husband or whatever big kid was in the room laugh and laugh at the absurdity of such a tiny, adorable baby making such a wild noise. To my body waking up when the baby's breathing changed ever so slightly because they'd just woken up. To the cheeks and thighs and knuckle dimples and wrist rolls my body created. To all the times I've nibbled on those cheeks and thighs and wrist rolls because I had no other option, I had to.To the thousands of hours of anxiety, joy, pain, and overwhelming contentment.To the end of an era. No more nursing bras. No more leaky boobs. No more pumping! No more calculating feed times before leaving the house.Thank you for allowing me to feed another human with my body, how cool. Thank you for the quiet moments, the escape hatch, and the excuse to re-watch every single season of Gray's Anatomy. And now, respectfully, lovingly, goodbye.Unless you're brand new here, you know that I'm a huge audiobook fan. Audiobooks accompany me on walks, make doing the dishes and folding clothes infinitely more fun, and played in my ear so, so often while I fed/rocked/walked/shushed my babies over the last seven years. I am excited to be partnering with Macmillan Audio today to introduce you to my new-favorite listen that I can't bring myself to press pause on: This Story Might Save Your Life (TSMSYL) by Tiffany Crum, which released yesterday! I've been venturing outside of my usual romance reading over the last few months and am loving this story — it's part romance, part suspense, with a touch of humor. And the audiobook specifically is a work of art. To celebrate the release of TSMSYL, we chatted with Tiffany! CARO: Before we get into This Story Might Save Your Life, we want to learn about you! I know (but also can't believe because it's so well done) that this is your debut novel — give us a quick rundown on your path to becoming a novelist.TIFFANY: First of all, thank you so much for inviting me into your community! My path to getting published was a long one. I've always loved writing, but I never allowed myself to pursue it as a career until my oldest son was born. That was when I realized: if I wanted my children to grow up believing they could follow their dreams, I needed to teach by example and follow mine first. I'd love to end the story there and say that was all it took — boom, immediate book deal! — but in reality it was a winding 18-year journey of writing manuscripts that will (very happily) never see the light of day. In the end, This Story Might Save Your Life is the one where all that practice and determination finally came together.CARO: I can relate to so much of that! How long have you wanted to be an author, and what did you do professionally before writing this book?TIFFANY: I'm not kidding when I say I didn't even let myself think about writing novels until my first son was born. Before I became a parent, I worked full time as an executive assistant in the film industry. After he was born, I reprioritized. I chose to work part time so I could carve out space to pursue my dream while raising our son, and later our sons. We struggled for many of those years, but my husband was completely on board. He likes to say he never had any choice in the matter because I'm miserable when I don't have time to write, but that really downplays how supportive he's always been.CARO: Where do you live and where are you from?TIFFANY: I grew up on a dairy farm just down the road from a maximum-security prison, which is a pretty good origin story for someone who ended up writing suspense. After many years living in California, I now live outside Atlanta with my husband, our two sons, and our two dogs.CARO: What was your inspiration for This Story Might Save Your Life? How and when did the idea come to you? How long did it take you to complete this novel?TIFFANY: I've always been fascinated by the strange intimacy of podcasts. When you listen to someone's voice for hundreds of hours, you start to feel like you know them — even though you've never actually met them. This made me wonder: what if something terrible happened to one half of a beloved podcast duo? How would the audience react? And what if the story behind the microphone turned out to be very different from what listeners believed? The first draft came together quickly because I was head over heels in love with these characters, but, like most novels, it went through several rounds of revision before it became the version readers have now.CARO: OK now give us the scoop on This Story Might Save Your Life! Will you sum up the plot?TIFFANY: This Story Might Save Your Life is both a thriller and a love story about two best friends, Benny and Joy, who host a wildly popular comedy survival podcast, and what happens when one goes missing and the survival story becomes their own.CARO: Is there a podcast that inspired Benny and Joy's — their dynamic together, if not the content itself?TIFFANY: I'm a longtime podcast listener, and I've always loved shows hosted by close friends, particularly My Favorite Murder. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark were a real source of inspiration for me, not just because of their tangent-filled banter, but also their incredible trajectory to fame. I had a blast writing a duo whose friendship feels as fun and unpredictable as theirs.CARO: I'm an audiobook lover and was so excited to learn that this book's narrated by Julia Whelan (my fave!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins. And I've been blown away by the production of it all. Why the extra attention on audio? TIFFANY: I'm a huge audiobook fan, as well! And because the story revolves around a podcast, it was exciting to have the opportunity to really lean into the audio format. Julia Whelan (the queen!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins are phenomenal narrators. Not only did they absolutely nail their POV chapters, they also recorded the podcast scenes in duet, which makes the listening experience especially immersive. I also wrote a bonus podcast episode just for the audiobook, and my producer had the brilliant idea to include tip-line call-ins, which are incredibly fun to hear. The Macmillan Audio team really knocked it out of the park, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.CARO: How can we expect to feel when we read the last page/listen to the last chapter?TIFFANY: I set out to write a thriller with a soft center. It has twists and tense cliffhanging chapters, but the real heart of the story is the friendship between Benny and Joy. If I've done my job, you'll feel everything from delight to devastation along the way, and close the book feeling satisfied — maybe even with a renewed sense of hope in the goodness of human nature.CARO: Last question! If Joy and Benny were recipes from What to Cook, which would they be?TIFFANY: Easy! Joy and Benny would absolutely choose the 3-ingredient chorizo street tacos. Not only are street tacos their favorite, but the chorizo twist also feels very on brand — a little unexpected and guaranteed to make things more interesting. Plus, a 10-minute meal is always a win!WTC Insiders, we're so excited to announce a new perk of your subscription: a free audiobook download thanks to Macmillan Audio!

Get your smaller size, if between two. * I'm wearing a lot of these turtlenecks with vests these days, which is my best friend Lily's uniform that I stole from her. I got this vest from Sezane while I was in New York and wore it on The Drew Barrymore Show (with a navy turtle under!). I borrowed an old vest from Lily that is similar to this one from Quince to wear on GMA! And I wore this one of Lily's with a dark grey turtle under for my keynote at UNC. I also ordered this one when I got home. I told you, lots of turtlenecks and vests!* St. Patrick's Day is next Tuesday! Low-effort, high-reward holiday moms unite. Last year was my first year as a holiday mom on St. Patrick's Day — I put about 15 minutes of effort into it and my kids still talk about how St. Patrick's Day is the most fun day ever. Here's exactly what I did and what I'm planning to repeat this year: rainbow tic-tacs leading from their bedroom door all the way to the toilet. Toilet dyed green. Leprechaun potty tricks! Then, downstairs, a green tablecloth, rainbow napkins, green plates, crayons with coloring pages from Something To Host, gold chocolate coins scattered all over the table (but this year I got these sour gummy coins instead because my kids don't actually seem to like chocolate coins), a big rainbow-shaped fruit spread (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, apples…) with whipped cream clouds at the bottom of the rainbow. And Lucky Charms!* I just bought this Lake pajama set for probably the twentieth time for a friend's birthday. It's very important for my overcrowded, overstimulated brain to have a few go-to gifts that I know every woman in my life will love and deeply appreciate so that I'm not constantly racking my brain for new ideas. This set is my fave for a pregnant or newly postpartum mom. Another go-to is sending a cookie cake via Instacart or DoorDash with something funny written on it when they need a little pick me up or a birthday hurrah.* One of my best friends from college, Mary Pell, and her daughter Leighton are coming to visit us next week for her Spring Break. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!! They're coming for three nights, which Mary Pell once told me is the maximum length a guest should stay. “You know what they say, guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” I love Southerners and their limitless expressions. * Local (Monterey County, CA) people, George and I went to Fishwife in Pacific Grove last night and had the greatest night! It's totally dated but in a great way. Our food was delicious and there were some really inventive sauces. There were also some extremely 90s-feeling elements, like steamed broccoli and squash on every entree, and a truly wild lime green syrup garnishing the key lime pie. It is stuck in time but in a really cozy, still delicious way. We felt like intruders at a locals-only spot. And the service was amazing!!Every week, we dig into the archives to bring a few favorites back to the top of your meal plan. This week's lineup leans heavily into bowls — the kind of dinners that are flexible, packed with flavor, and easy to adapt based on what's in your fridge.1. happy bowls, 2025Roasted sweet potatoes, beets, cauliflower, and red onion piled over grains and greens with a completely addictive cashew sauce. This one's basically a choose-your-own-adventure veggie bowl and an excellent meal-prep situation — make the veggies and sauce once and build your bowls all week.2. thai-ish steak & noodle salad, 2024A Hillstone-inspired noodle salad that tastes restaurant-level but is totally doable at home. Tender steak, herbs, mango, crunchy cabbage, and noodles tossed in a punchy cashew-lime-sesame dressing (that's so good you'll want to drink it!).3. 30-minute pork and kimchi CYOA bowls, 2023A fast, flavor-packed pork and kimchi situation with rice, a drizzly tahini-gochujang sauce, and lettuce leaves to wrap it all up in. Set everything out family-style and let everyone build their own bowl, wrap, or chopped salad.4. sriracha shrimp sushi bowls, 2022All the flavors of sushi night! Sticky rice, saucy shrimp, cucumbers, avocado, and pickled ginger — all without rolling a single piece of sushi. The sriracha-soy marinade doubles as the sauce, which keeps things simple. From WTCer Erin: “Woooooow this one is so flavorful and good. And so freaking quick to prepare!” This recipe's in March's really simple meal plan, in case you're looking for an easy solution to meal planning for the days ahead!5. blackened fish taco bowls, 2021Broiled blackened cod gets piled onto lime-butter rice with citrus salsa and crunchy slaw for bright, taco-inspired bowls. If cooking fish feels intimidating, I will demystify it for you here!Congrats to Megan Z, the winner of last week's Boopshop.org giveaway!

In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with South Carolina State Representative Jeff Bradley, chairman of the House Regulations and Administrative Procedures Committee, about a major push to rein in the administrative state and make government more accountable to the people. Bradley explains how South Carolina's Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act would force a regular review of regulations, create a seven-year sunset for rules that are no longer justified, strengthen protections for citizens challenging agency decisions, and put real checks on unelected bureaucrats. He shares how overregulation hurts small businesses, raises costs, slows growth, and makes it harder for entrepreneurs to succeed. The conversation also explores how South Carolina is using new tools, including artificial intelligence, to identify duplicative rules and modernize government. Bradley lays out why reducing red tape is not anti-regulation, but pro-accountability, pro-growth, and pro-freedom — and why this fight matters for every South Carolinian.

Most of us have taken a hit to the head at some point — a fall, a collision, a stray ball — and brushed it off as no big deal. But what if those “minor” impacts aren't so minor? Even seemingly harmless head injuries may have longer-term effects that we rarely consider. Source: Dr. Daniel Amen author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life https://amzn.to/3P3Dtld Every day you negotiate — at work, at home, with friends, with strangers. Most of us think conflict is something to avoid or win. But according to William Ury, one of the world's leading authorities on negotiation who has advised the White House, the Pentagon, and major corporations, there is a far more powerful approach. Listen as he reveals how to turn confrontation into collaboration and why the way you frame a dispute often determines its outcome. William is author of the book Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflict (https://amzn.to/3T7issl), Swearing is supposed to be rude, shocking, even offensive. Yet it's everywhere — in conversations, on television, online. So why does profanity still pack a punch? And could it actually serve a purpose? Rebecca Roache, senior lecturer in philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London and author of For F*ck's Sake: Why Swearing is Shocking, Rude, and Fun (https://amzn.to/48DxH0t), explains why taboo words are so powerful, how they've evolved, and what they reveal about emotion, culture, and connection. If you want to dramatically lower your child's risk of serious trouble later in life, you might look closely at how much time they spend doing one very common, everyday activity. It seems harmless. It's easy. And it's everywhere. But the long-term consequences may surprise you. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2280397/Can-letting-children-watch-TV-turn-criminals.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!
