Join Ocean House owner, actor, and bestselling author Deborah Goodrich Royce for a conversation with New York Times bestselling authors Susannah Marren, Laura Zigman, and Dara Levan, who will be discussing their novels, new in paperback. About the Authors: Susannah Marren is the author of Between the Tides, A Palm Beach Wife, A Palm Beach Scandal, and Maribelle's Shadow. Susannah has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Elle, and Marie Claire and has appeared on national television, including the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC. Several of her titles have been optioned by Lifetime and HBO. She has served as a literary panelist for the New York State Council on the Arts, as a judge for the International Emmys, and as Vice Chair of the Mentoring Committee of the Women's Leadership Board at the JFK School of Government, Harvard. Her featured novel is Maribelle's Shadow. About Maribelle's Shadow: When her adored and impressive husband, Samuel, dies suddenly, the secrets and lies between Maribelle and her sisters rise to the surface. Compounding the anguish, the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother and lavish lifestyle of mansions, privilege, and couture clothes is thrown into doubt. Each sister realizes she must fend for herself as their carefully constructed image unravels. The pathway out is steep and worth any risk. Until the winner takes all. Laura Zigman is the author of six novels, including Small World, Separation Anxiety (which was optioned by Julianne Nicholson and the production company Wiip for a limited television series); Animal Husbandry (which was made into the movie Someone Like You, starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd), Dating Big Bird, Her, and Piece of Work. She has ghostwritten/collaborated on several works of non-fiction, including Eddie Izzard's New York Times bestseller, Believe Me; been a contributor to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post; produced a popular online series of animated videos called Annoying Conversations; and was the recipient of a Yaddo residency. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she helps clients via Zoom, phone, and sometimes in person with their writing. Her featured novel is Small World. About Small World A year after her divorce, Joyce is settling into being single again. She likes her job archiving family photos and videos, and she's developed a secret comforting hobby: trolling the neighborhood social networking site, Small World, for posts that help solve life's easiest problems. When her older sister, Lydia, also divorced, calls to tell her she's moving back east from Los Angeles after almost thirty years away, Joyce invites Lydia to move into her Cambridge apartment. Temporarily. Just until she finds a place of her own. But their unlikely cohabitation—not helped by annoying new neighbors upstairs—turns out to be the post-divorce rebound relationship Joyce hadn't planned on. Instead of forging the bond she always dreamed of having with Lydia, their relationship frayed. They rarely discuss the loss of their sister, Eleanor, who was significantly disabled and died when she was only ten years old. When new revelations from their family's history come to light, will those secrets further split them apart or, of course, correct their connection for the future? Written with wry humor and keen sensitivity, Small World is a powerful novel of sisterhood and hope—a reminder that sometimes you must look back to move ahead. Dara Levan is the creator and host of Every Soul Has a Story, a podcast in which she interviews inspiring people from around the globe. Her calling to impact others began at the age of twelve in her hometown of North Miami Beach, Florida, when she interviewed the nursing home residents where her grandmother lived and wrote their stories. As an undergrad at Indiana University, Dara earned a BA in English and pursued a career in journalism but decided to pivot and return to South Florida to earn her MS in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Dara stopped practicing speech therapy to return to full-time writing. Actively involved in her community, she is currently a board member of the Community Foundation of Broward and a board member of Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation/Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Community Foundation of Broward. Dara served as a board member of the Goodman Jewish Family Services (JFS) of Broward County and Junior Achievement of South Florida. She is also a founding member of the Circle of Friends for the Alvin Sherman Library Research, Information, and Technology Center at Nova Southeastern University. Dara is a member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association, Women's National Book Association, and the Authors Guild. Her featured novel is It Could Be Worse. About It Could Be Worse Mired in self-doubt and blind loyalty, Allegra Gil suspects her charmed life may be a gilded cage. She has a devoted husband, Benito, two loving children, a thriving therapy practice, and lifelong friends. But when a surprising discovery in a piano bench reveals a shocking family secret, Allegra questions everything she thought she knew about the two people who raised her. Was it true? Did her father, a respected pediatric neurosurgeon, harm instead of heal? And Allegra's mother—how much did she know? As the past threatens the present, Allegra plays the song of what was, what is, and what may never be in this “powerful and poignant story about letting go” (Jean Meltzer, international bestselling author of The Matzah Ball). Composed with the cadence of a waltz—up, up, down—through flashbacks to childhood memories in Miami and a music camp in Michigan, It Could Be Worse is a heartwarming, at times heart-wrenching, multigenerational story of a woman supported and embraced by many while shaken to the core by a few. “The gorgeous prose and raw, unflinching narrative both heal and inspire. A stunning debut.” (Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today and #1 international bestselling author of Woman on the Edge) For more information about the authors, please visit Susannah Marren, Laura Zigman, and Dara Levan.

Rent To Retirement: Building Financial Independence Through Turnkey Real Estate Investing
Letting other people earn you double digit returns while you do nothing is a very enticing opportunity. When it comes to fruition it's a fantastic thing.

Meghan sits down with one of her favorite authors–Laura Zigman to discuss ther widely celebrated most recent novel Small World. Laura decribes how she fused the emotional experiences of the death of her sister into the story of two divorced sisters who come to live in the same house for the first time in decades. Laura Zigman is the author of five novels, including Separation Anxiety (which was optioned by Julianne Nicholson and the production company Wiip (Mare of Easttown) for a limited television series); Animal Husbandry (which was made into the movie Someone Like You, starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd), Dating Big Bird, Her, and Piece of Work. She has ghostwritten/collaborated on several works of non-fiction, including Eddie Izzard's New York Times bestseller, Believe Me; been a contributor to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post; produced a popular online series of animated videos called Annoying Conversations; and was the recipient of a Yaddo residency.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.26.525804v1?rss=1 Authors: Stark, R., Dempsey, H., Sassi, M., Kleeman, E., Davies, J. S., Zigman, J., Andrews, Z. B. Abstract: Growing evidence highlights a complex interaction between olfaction and metabolism with impaired olfactory function observed in obesity and increased olfactory sensitivity during hunger. The mechanisms linking metabolic state and olfaction remain unknown, but increased accessibility of hormones, such as ghrelin, and the diverse expression of hormone receptors such as those for ghrelin (GHSRs) in the olfactory system suggests an underappreciated neuroendocrine role. Here, we examined the hypothesis that GHSRs in the olfactory bulb (OB) link hunger with olfactory sensitivity to influence foraging behaviours and metabolism. Selective deletion of OBGHSRs in adult male mice was achieved with adeno-associated viral expression of cre-recombinase in the OB of floxed-Ghsr mice. OBGHSR deletion significantly affected olfactory discrimination and habituation to both food and pheromone odours, with greatest effect under fasted conditions. Anxiety-like and depression-like behaviour was significantly greater after OBGHSR deletion using 3 independent anxiety behavioural tasks and testing for anhedonia, whereas exploratory behaviour was reduced. No effect on spatial navigation and memory was observed. Although OBGHSR deletion did not affect cumulative food intake, it significantly impacted feeding behaviour as evidenced by altered bout number and duration. Moreover, food-finding after fasting or ip ghrelin was attenuated. Intriguingly, OBGHSR deletion caused an increase in body weight and fat mass, spared fat utilisation on a chow diet and impaired glucose metabolism indicating metabolic dysfunction. We conclude that OBGHSRs maintain olfactory sensitivity, particularly during hunger, and facilitate behavioural adaptations that optimise food-seeking in anxiogenic environments, priming metabolic pathways in preparation for food consumption.

Dr. Dan welcomes back parent and author Laura Zigman to discuss parental grief, Well-Child Syndrome, sibling loss, and her book Small World.Laura Zigman grew up in the shadow of her parents' grief after her oldest sister died. In her just released novel Small World, Laura fictionalizes and writes poignantly about her own childhood as a typical sibling of a disabled sister who died. Despite the fact that Laura Zigman (and her sister Linda Zigman barely knew Sheryl), Laura's childhood and her entire life were defined by this loss. Dr. Dan and Laura honestly discuss the many ways typical siblings experience disability, sibling loss, and parental grief. The concept of Well-Child Syndrome and supporting “well” or typical siblings is still not widely discussed. Today's episode reveals the desperate need for mental health support for siblings and entire families – not just parents - when dealing with disability, illness, death, loss, and grief. This episode also addresses guilt, pain, and other complex emotions in order to shine a light on topics that many families are dealing with today in isolation. Laura's interview with Dr. Dan today along with her recent essay in the New York Times will comfort listeners.Laura Zigman is the author of five novels, including Separation Anxiety (which was optioned by Julianne Nicholson and the production company Wiip (Mare of Easttown) for a limited television series); Animal Husbandry (which was made into the movie Someone Like You, starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd), Dating Big Bird, Her, and Piece of Work.

This episode originally aired October 19, 2021. Laura Zigman is one of our leading voices in contemporary fiction. She's the author of five novels, including her genre-defining debut, Animal Husbandry, which enjoyed a second life on the screen as the Hugh Jackman/Ashley Judd starrer “Someone Like You,” as well as her most recent novel, Separation Anxiety, which is currently being developed as a limited television series featuring the actress Julianne Nicholson. Laura's novels are known for their wit and insight, as she shines compelling light on women and families on the edge, but many of her most faithful readers are probably unaware of her work as a collaborator—most notably with the comedian Eddie Izzard, Texas state senator Wendy Davis, and matchmaker Patti Novak. Over the years, she's leaned on her ghostwriting assignments as a way to fill the spaces between novels—and, to sharpen her instincts as a writer as she seeks ideas and inspiration for her fiction. In this episode of As Told To, she tells host Daniel Paisner that she sees herself as storyteller, whether she's helping to craft someone else's story or working in service of her own. “It's a very delicate dance,” she says of the tug-and-pull that often surfaces between collaborator and subject. “You have to learn how to handle people. You have to give it back to them sometimes. You have to find that balance between being in service to them and their story and pushing back a little.” Here's where you can find Laura online: Facebook Twitter Instagram Website Please support the sponsors who support our show.

Episode page and links: https://markgraban.com/mistake163 My guest for Episode #163 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Jeff Zigman, known as “The Business Engineer,” and the founder and CEO of SkillBuilder. He's been a tech entrepreneur 10 years, having led and built 25+ software projects from idea to Live, including multimillion-dollar enterprise software, with an engineering background, ten years as a Business Analyst, and eight years as a Chief Technology Officer. He's married with two little kids and, during COVID, he created a software platform that incorporates the learning principles that he's gained from 20 years of martial arts into a remote learning system that he's been able to prove to be more effective for virtual training than most in-person training, with higher absorption and better retention. In this episode, Jeff shares his “favorite mistake” story about trusting somebody he was working to build a software company with — working for 1.5 years on a trust basis, how did Jeff end up saddled with a “lopsided contract”? What problems did that cause and why was it “a real nightmare”? We talk about that and the lessons that Jeff learned through this experience. We also talk about questions and topics including: Were there red flags? Should he have gotten a lawyer to review it? How has he focused on not preventing this mistake? Why is training thousands of employees so difficult? Lessons from martial arts? 4 things that are required? What is Process-Oriented Learning? Knowledge (information or theory) vs. Skills (ability)? How do we confirm that the learning has sunk in… that the skills can be applied effectively? Closing the loop? How can training be gamified? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support

At the time I am writing this, I personally know people who, are trying to survive in bomb shelters in Kyiv, and others who have taken up arms to defend this country. Here at The Conference Room our thoughts and prayers are with our friends and colleagues and the whole of the Ukrainian people. But thoughts and prayers are not enough. As President Kennedy said in the name of Thomas Burke, all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. So, let's do something. In the shownotes for this episode, and for every episode while the people of Ukraine are fighting for their country, we'll post links of how you can help: reputable organizations you can donate to that will help the Ukrainian people and reliable sources of information about what's happening on the ground. As individuals, we may not be able to stand up to Putin ourselves, but let's all do something and not let evil triumph on our watch. Thank you.

Jeff Zigman has been a tech entrepreneur for about 9 years, working professionally as a Business Analyst and a Software Engineer, designing software, leading and directing teams, and taking more than 25 software products from the “Idea Phase” to the market, often either in a role of Chief Technology Officer or a Director of Software Development. Basic idea of Skill builder My new teaching platform Skill Builder that I started about 3-4 months ago and is live. It’s geared around Scalable Teaching in a story-driven way that I’ve developed based on both an engineering degree but more importantly 12 years teaching martial artsand seeing how people learn and absorb information more effectively. When people learn the right way, it’s possible to absorb new skills in hours that would otherwise take months or years.

Laura Zigman is the author of the recently released hit novel Separation Anxiety, her fifth. One of her earlier novels, Animal Husbandry, was made into the movie Someone Like You starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd, and another, Piece of Work, features a relaunching publicist as the main character. Laura has taken career breaks for her own health issue and for eldercare reasons, both of which she discusses. Laura’s frank commentary is a gift; she covers difficult topics ranging from feeling shame when she didn’t replicate her initial career success for a long time, to writer’s block and financial stress. She shares how ghostwriting was a skill she developed and used to smooth the income swings of a writing career (even published authors with multiple hit books can experience these income swings), and she does so with humor and a healthy dose of dog reverence.

Aaron Zigman (aaronzigman.com) is an award-winning composer who has scored more than 60 major Hollywood films and influenced other musicians and songwriters. In 2020, Grammy winner and top performing artist Billie Eilish listed Zigman’s work along with other notable musicians as inspiring songs on her recent platinum album.

His deep classical roots combined with his background in writing and producing songs for many of music's greatest performers (Aretha Franklin, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins, Seal, Natalie Cole and more) has given him the ability to traverse all styles of music to develop some of the industry’s most memorable film scores across diverse genres, such as the iconic The Notebook—one of six collaborations with award-winning director Nick Cassavetes—which consistently ranks in the top ten of romantic classics and has sold a record number of soundtracks. Zigman has scored other hit films that include, but are not limited to, Bridge to Terabithia, John Q., The Proposal, The Ugly Truth, Alpha Dog, My Sister's Keeper, Sex & the City I & II, Escape from Planet Earth.

Laura Zigman joins Mallory in the MILK Studio to talk about her new novel "Separation Anxiety," some difficult creative and personal years that led to the book's publication and about how we talk about women's midlife crises. The author of Animal Husbandry, Dating Big Bird, Piece of Work, and Her, a contributor to the New York Times and many other publications, and a ghost writer of books she can't tell you about, Laura's writing is a gift for this moment in time. She writes from a truthful, humorous and chaotic place that lays bare the secret of adulthood: that most of us have no idea what the hell is going on. Laura opens MILK Podcast Season 3 with her story of losses and of finding her way through them. Follow her writing @LauraZigman on IG and buy her novel ASAP.
Laura Zigman is the author of Separation Anxiety, her first novel in over a decade which will surely follow the success of Animal Husbandry, Dating Big Bird, Piece of Work and Her. This book is about a couple that can’t afford to get divorced, a son who is growing up, and the emotional support the family dog gives the main character, Judy, (a 50-year-old) especially when worn in a sling. Which Laura may or may not have tried herself - listen to find out! We talked about so much including how she came back after her long break from the book world, why she’s always early, how she ended up moving back to her hometown, her breast cancer, why she enjoys ghost-writing, how Craig’s List helped her write, why she isn’t the easiest person to live with, and how she feels about the invisibility that comes with aging. Watch us talk live on May 5th at the Steicker Center at Temple Emanu-El!!
