After I attended an author's panel last year I introduced myself to Laura Tremaine. It was a super nerdy moment for me because I love her books and podcasts. I love her storytelling. 
I am super intrigued by her. Our backgrounds are very different—she grew up in very conservative Oklahoma, and I grew up in the liberal San Francisco Bay Area. But she moved to Los Angeles in her 20s and has talked about how that has impacted her.
Because I wanted to learn more about her, I asked her to be a guest on my podcast; she said yes! 
Then I made it weird. I didn’t reach out to schedule for almost a year. 🫣
Let this be a lesson to us all: people are lovely even when you leave them hanging for months.

For more than a decade, I have been talking to people about self-care. Some would say I am a self-care evangelist because it saved my life. It is the only thing that keeps us from being burnt out. It is the fuel for feeling good enough in your life to keep going in our desire to make the world a better place.
“I don’t have enough time” is one of the most often expressed reasons why women aren’t doing the self-care that they need. They are too busy because of work, child raising, keeping up with the housework, and doing all the things for all the people in their lives.
What in your life would change if all time was created equal? What would change if you had enough time for your self-care and a more balanced distribution of housework and childcare in your home? 
In this week’s podcast, I got to talk with Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play, about creating equitable households, reducing the mental load, decreasing emotional labor, and making invisible work visible.

It’s my birthday week, and I am having a lot of feelings. Spring feels like another new year; it is election season, and I am now entering my mid-50s. Now seems like a good time to share my birthday wishes with you. You can find them in this week’s podcast episode. Some may surprise you, and others may not.

I’ve got moms on the brain. Yesterday was the 9th anniversary of my mom’s death and I am so bummed she isn’t here to see how well I am doing, how much my daughter is growing and how the world is changing for the better. She would 100% be my biggest cheerleader in my work.
I even talked a lot about moms in this week’s podcast. I interviewed Calvina Nguyen of Your Brand Spark. Calvina was born in China and moved to the US when she was 9, which brought a whole new conversation around self-care and one immigrant family’s experience.
In her professional life, Calvina runs Your Brand Spark, a creative agency that educates small businesses in design and branding while helping them build a solid visual brand foundation that empowers them to connect with the right audience and grow a thriving business.
 I hope you’ll listen to my interview with Calvina.

How are you this late winter transitioning into spring?
This week in my Facebook group I asked what magazines people read when they were in their teens and early 20s. Turns out a lot of us read Seventeen. Lots of others read Sassy and Jane. Ms. Magazine, Bitch, Bust got some shoutouts and even the ever-nerdy Utne Reader.
Those magazines helped us feel less alone. We could find out what other GenXers or Millennials across the country were doing, thinking, and feeling. We found parts of ourselves in those pages.
I asked because in this week’s podcast, I interviewed Jen Cooper, the founder of Jennifer Magazine.
