These few minutes are about gratitude.

Sunday Stillness: Gratitude

Laura Tremaine has 10 Things To Tell You. And YOU have 10 Things To Tell. This is a show about sharing your stuff. Each episode asks a question, and you can take that prompt to your journal, to your best friend, or to social media. Let's dig deeper.

Personal Journals

Society & Culture

History

Philosophy

Places & Travel

This episode is ONLY book recommendations. The original Stephen King Starter Kit episode has more of the author's biography and why I think reading Stephen King matters. You do NOT need to listen to Part I to enjoy Part II.  
LISTEN TO STEPHEN KING STARTER KIT Part I 
In this episode I'm sharing my personal favorites, what I would recommend if you don't like scary/horror (because there are plenty to choose from!), what I recommend for teenagers, and which Stephen King books I would never recommend you start with (even though they're popular).

Ep 222: Stephen King Starter Kit Part II (What To Read + What To Skip)

It's a question we've all asked ourselves at some point....Is everyone happier than me?
A relatable thought made worse by the perfection of social media and knowledge that life could go take us on a hundred different paths. Did we choose the right one?
It's also the title of Sarah Bragg's new book, where she explores this topic with essays and stories from her own life and parenthood.
In this episode, Sarah gives us 4 ways to be happier online (since that's such a huge contributing factor to this question).
I loved this conversation with Sarah and know I'm not the only one kept awake at night with comparison and curiosity.

My 4th annual book club dedicated to my favorite author (and the greatest living storyteller) is HERE!
Stephen King Summer 2024 officially starts June 2 but you can jump in at any time over the next three months to join us for two movie watch-a-longs and three books. 

We're READING:
'Salem's Lot 
King's second novel was originally published in 1975 and this is a vampire story. 
You Like It Darker
This is King's latest collection of short stories that just published in May 2024. We will read one or two stories to discuss (this is perfect for those King-curious who don't want to commit to the novels).
11/22/63
One of my favorite novels of all time, this book is not scary and will let you into King's master storytelling without having to endure the horror. 

We're WATCHING:
Firestarter
The Mist

Ep 221: 10 Questions for a Road Trip

Every now and then I have a guest on this show that just knocks my socks off and beauty industry pioneer Wende Zomnir is the latest fascinating person to get that title.
In the 1990's, the top makeup and beauty brands were formal, stodgy, and established. Urban Decay disrupted the industry with their bold colors, heavily pigmented formulas, and modern branding. My guest Wende Zomnir describes what it was like to create Urban Decay and how lucky connections and a broad vision contributed to it's success.
But now Zomnir is back with a new brand that is already on shelves at Sephora and poised to make another important splash in the beauty world: Caliray Beauty blends makeup with wellness to create innovative concoctions with innocent ingredients.
Zomnir gives me an EDUCATION in this episode about sustainability and the future of the beauty industry. She shares the obstacles to making clean makeup and is generous with her knowledge, passion, and shout outs to other beauty brands who are doing right.
