Thriving with Chronic Illness with Nitika Chopra of Chronicon
Imagine living with chronic pain for years, feeling isolated. That's the reality for millions. Wellness thought leader and chronic illness advocate Nitika Chopra knows this reality all too well—she has had a chronic condition for most of her life, battling pain, depression, and years of being confined to her bed in her early 20s. Now, at 43, she runs Chronicon, a platform built to support the 130 million Americans with chronic conditions. In this episode, we explore the challenges of living with a chronic illness, how to cultivate self-love and help loved ones, and the life-changing power of being more committed to our happiness than our suffering. Join us for a joyful, optimistic look at a complex topic.

Modern Friendships and How to Make a New Old Friend with Anna Goldfarb
We have hundreds of friends on Facebook and the power to contact our besties with the swipe of a smartphone, yet we live in a loneliness epidemic. If you want tools for making and nurturing friendships, on today’s show, Katie interviews journalist and author Anna Goldfarb about findings from her new book Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections. Anna’s research uncovers why the digital age makes modern friendships challenging, the link between midlife friendship and life satisfaction, and the exact number of hours it takes to form what Anna calls a “wholehearted friendship.” Plus, how to infuse your friendships with delight and shared purpose. If your friendships are too few, too far-flung, or have flatlined, do your social life a favor and listen in.

Ex-Banker Rowena Scherer Cooks Up a Second Act as a Cookbook Author + Culinary Entrepreneur
Investment banker Rowena Scherer woke up one day and asked herself—do I really want to be a banker for the rest of my life? What came next was a foray into culinary entrepreneurship, a line of award-winning cooking kits for kids, and eventually a kids’ cookbook, “A Taste of the World: Celebrating Global Flavors.” On today’s show, Rowena shares how she went from being the first in her family to graduate from college to Wall Street banker to training as a chef at the prestigious French Culinary Institute and the launch of a line of kids’ products that Time Magazine dubbed the toy of the year in 2022. We get into it all–career reinvention, unlikely, improbably pivots, and why age, experience, and fresh perspectives can superpower new acts.
