Dr. Tara Narula and Jenny Bartoy Tackle Pain from All Sides
30/04/2026 | 26 mins.
Dr. Tara Narula gives us a specific recipe in The Healing Power of Resilience: A New Prescription for Health and Well-Being, while editor Jenny Bartoy collects stories of others, like her, who have cut off contact with toxic people, sometimes even parents, in No Contact: Writing on Estrangement. Taken together, these two conversations arm us with the tools to get through challenges that might just be out of our control. How we respond to them isn’t. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Friendship for the Win: Jessica George, Geneen Roth
29/04/2026 | 31 mins.
Jessica George takes on female friendship in her sophomore novel Love by the Book, which follows her hit Maame, which we also talked about on the podcast, as does Geneen Roth in her latest book Love, Finally: Untangling the Knot Between Mothers, Daughters, and Food. One woman made a huge difference in Geneen’s healing. (This book is for anyone who has ever been on a diet.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Marisa Renee Lee, Long Covid, and Hope
28/04/2026 | 20 mins.
Marisa Renee Lee shares her battle with long Covid on top of her other excruciating losses in Waiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty. We spoke at Totally Booked: Live at the Whitby Hotel, where she delighted the crowd with her big laughs, delightful personality, and optimism in the face of devastating circumstances. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
BONUS: Rachel Goldberg-Polin, When We See You Again
24/04/2026 | 55 mins.
I had the immense honor of interviewing Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again. Rachel, USA Today's Woman of the Year and one of the TIME 100, is the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who was kidnapped on October 7th and later executed by Hamas. Her book is raw, beautiful, and important. A meditation on grief, love, and how to get through. Please listen. We spoke in front of 1,200 people thanks to the generosity of UJA-NYC. Hosted on Acast.

Book of the Month Club pick Sally Hepworth’s Mad Mabel
23/04/2026 | 24 mins.
Yes, Sally Hepworth and I spoke about her new novel, Mad Mabel, which features an older, quirky protagonist whose neighbor dies in the opening, and the young friend who comes along. But we also spoke about Sally’s recent divorce and how she has been getting through that. Sally is such a good storyteller that anything out of her mouth is captivating. No wonder her latest book is a Book of the Month Club pick. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
