    Kavya Thakrar - 16-Year-Old Author’s Debut Book - “Bows and Ties” - Modern Sisterhood - Ep. 3148

    Listen in as Bernadette Fiaschetti and Kavya Thakrar discuss 16-year-old teen author’s debut book “Bows and Ties,” a Woven Tapestry of Modern Sisterhood. “It’s the beginning of a new era.”Gen Z isn’t waiting for permission to lead, and 16-year-old author and aspiring journalist Kavya Thakrar is proof. With her debut book, Bows and Ties, Thakrar reimagines what empowerment looks like today, weaving together authentic voices from influential women who are redefining leadership, creativity and connection. The result is a powerful celebration of modern sisterhood. “I wanted to show that sisterhood isn’t just about friendship; it’s about learning from one another, celebrating each other’s growth and creating space for more women to lead with confidence,” Thakrar said. “Bows and Ties is a tribute to the women who remind us that success feels more meaningful when it’s shared.”Through 19 in-depth interviews with accomplished women who’ve built remarkable careers — from entrepreneurs and designers to writers and founders — Thakrar explores how ambition and empathy can thrive side by side. Each woman’s story reveals how honesty, resilience and shared experience empower others to grow, lead and lift one another higher.And here’s the twist: Each interview ends with a key takeaway that becomes the next woman’s prompt, creating a living chain of insight and inspiration. The result is a continuous, evolving dialogue — a woven tapestry of stories where one woman’s truth unlocks another’s.Much more than a book of interviews, Bows and Ties is part handbook, part advice column and part archive of real women being real with each other. “Each conversation feels like sitting down with an older sister or mentor who’s honest about both the wins and the struggles,” Thakrar said. “The book gives readers a sense of belonging and motivation, reminding them that empowerment starts with connection.”Ultimately, Bows and Ties represents a new kind of sisterhood, one rooted in honesty, ambition and shared growth.“It’s more than a book,” Thakrar added. “It’s a movement toward open, authentic connection and a reminder that success isn’t a solo journey, but a shared one.” Find Kavya Thakrar at: IG: bowsandtiesbook TikTok: bowsandtiesbook Find her book on Amazon.comBows and Ties

    Jakob Shaw - Manager of Strategic Initiatives for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - Spring 2026 Update Ep. 3142

    Listen in as Jakob Shaw and Bernadette Fiaschetti share their zest to end animal cruelty. They discuss why French Bulldogs and Pugs should never be bred, why buying birds and holding them captive is cruel, the first ban on glue traps; and first in the nation…Wesleyan University memorial plaque for animals killed for dining hall meals. Jakob Shaw is the manager of strategic initiatives for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. In this role, Shaw advances PETA’s animal protection mission through legislative advocacy, youth outreach, colorful demonstrations, multimedia projects, installations such as The Council of Animals (What to Do About the Humans) featured on the National Mall, and more.   His work has led to the first ban on glue traps—which ensnare small animals indiscriminately and cause prolonged suffering—as well as the introduction of both federal and state bills banning the cruel devices.   He also helped secure the passage of a groundbreaking ordinance in Ojai, California banning the breeding of French Bulldogs and other breathing-impaired dogs and cats who suffer from a lifetime of respiratory issues and other chronic ailments.  PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment business.  Website: www.peta.org

    Emma Suttie - Acupuncture Physician - “Bacopa: The 3,000-Year-Old-Herb Sharpening Modern Minds” Ep. 3141

    This podcast is packed with information you don’t want to miss! In this special evening edition of the One Life Radio Podcast, host, Bernadette Fiaschetti welcomes back Emma Suttie to dive into her article, “Bacopa: The 3,000 Year-Old-Herb Sharpening Modern Minds.” Emma is an acupuncture physician and founder of Chinese Medicine Living – a website dedicated to sharing how to use traditional wisdom to live a healthy lifestyle in the modern world. She is passionate about her work and loves to share her knowledge of this wonderful medicine to empower people to live healthier, happier lives. She has written for multiple publications over the past decade and is now a health reporter for The Epoch Times covering Eastern medicine, nutrition, trauma, and lifestyle medicine.  Bacopa, known in Ayurvedic medicine as a natural nootropic—a substance that enhances cognitive function—Bacopa is traditionally used to improve memory, sharpen focus, and protect the aging brain. A 2024 published study in the Journal of Psychiatry and Cognitive Behaviour examined the effects of Bacopa on cognitive function and memory in 80 healthy adults. Participants received either 300 milligrams (mg) of Bacopa (containing 90 mg of bacosides, the plant’s primary active compounds) or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The group taking Bacopa showed significant improvements across multiple measures: verbal short-term, spatial short-term, visuospatial working, episodic, and working memory. Cognitive functions, including concentration, reasoning, alertness, and mental flexibility, also improved. Other benefits reported included improved anxiety and sleep quality, reduced cortisol levels, and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a critical protein that the brain needs to promote the growth, survival, and maintenance of neurons. It is also vital for the brain’s plasticity—strengthening connections between neurons—essential for learning, memory and cognitive function. The study authors also noted that concentration improved significantly within three hours of a single dose of Bacopa. Clinical herbalist Geo Derick Giordano, who has worked extensively with Bacopa, calls it “the number one herb in India for the brain, cognition, and memory.” In traditional Ayurvedic practice, it’s given to children to enhance learning and to older adults experiencing cognitive decline. Scientific studies are also validating Bacopa’s neuroprotective effects. According to the authors of a 2024 systematic review investigating Bacopa’s neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing actions, Bacopa can repair damaged neurons, restore synaptic function, improve nerve transmission, and improve neuroprotection. It also has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic actions, meaning that it inhibits apoptosis (programmed cell death) and promotes cell survival. The team found that in the 22 clinical trials included in the review, Bacopa reduced oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory biomarker levels, both hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Bacopa monnieri proved effective in optimizing cognitive performance, specifically by improving memory retention, learning capacity, and attention span. The research highlights its ability to stabilize emotional and psychiatric well-being, showing marked improvements in symptoms of depression, impulsivity, and anhedonia (the inability to experience pleasure). Additionally, participants experienced improved sleep routines and reductions in both hyperactivity and attention deficits, suggesting that Bacopa may serve as a comprehensive tool for managing complex psychological and developmental challenges. A 2021 study examined the effect of Bacopa on depression, anxiety, and stress among people between the ages of 12 and 60 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants took two 500-mg Bacopa capsules after breakfast and dinner daily for 30 days. The researchers found that the participants had a significant decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress scores after using Bacopa for one month, highlighting its effectiveness in psychological health.
