    Join us for a unique look at the intersection of art and healthy living with Susan Ottaviano. Before she was a sought-after New York–based food stylist and artist, Susan was the lead singer of Book of Love, opening for Depeche Mode and helping shape the 80s synth-pop scene. With a BFA in Painting and culinary training from both the CIA and ICE, she brings a signature "painterly" and artistic approach to the world of wellness. She joins us to discuss her new book, Plants That Heal: Plant-Based Wisdom for Body, Mind, and Soul and how we can transition from simply eating to practicing "culinary ritual." We dive into the eight core areas of life—including sleep, skin, and home—to discover how simple, vegan-friendly tonics, elixirs, and garden-inspired entertaining can help us reconnect with nature.

    Are you feeling stretched to your absolute breaking point, caught between the demands of generations pulling you from both sides?  In this deeply empathetic and actionable episode, we sit down with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz and Tracy Marucci to unpack the invisible, heavy toll of "living in the middle." This isn't just about a busy schedule—it is a unique seasonal collision where your nest is supposed to be empty, but instead, it is crowded with conflicting emotional, physical, and financial demands. Together, our guests break down the distinct pressures of this life stage: The Caretaking Pivot: The profound emotional grief and physical exhaustion of managing aging parents who are losing their independence. The Boomerang Effect: Navigating the complex dynamics of adult children moving back home after college or dealing with early-career struggles, shifting the boundaries of your relationship. The Midlife Identity Crisis: Finding yourself in a silent mourning period for the "empty nest" freedom you were promised, while simultaneously running on empty. Dr. Saltz provides crucial psychological tools to recognize caregiver burnout, manage boundary-setting guilt, and protect your mental health. Tracy Marucci shares raw, first-hand perspectives on surviving the day-to-day chaos of serving as the family anchor when you feel like you are drifting yourself. Whether you are currently managing doctor appointments for your parents while cooking dinner for your twenty-something, or you see this season on your horizon, this episode is a comforting reminder that you are not alone—and a guide on how to keep from losing yourself in the middle.
