She reveals how daunting it was to write a second novel in the wake of the success and the criticism of her smash debut hit The Help. The book sold over fifteen million copies, rose to number one and was on the best-seller list for more than two years. In 2011 it became a hit movie garnering four Oscar nominations and an Oscar win for Octavia Spencer as Best Supporting Actress. In The Calamity Club Kathryn shifts her perspective and writes a coming-of-age story set in the Depression era South about its two main characters Birdie and Meg. Kathryn explains how the cast of characters live inside her and yearn for expression through her written word. She shares her desire to tackle shocking challenges that women faced during that time. She says eventually the story evolved into an adventure about a group of bold, unbreakable women who overcome incredible hardships to reclaim their lives.

    She's a Reiki Master. I'm a Shamanic Guide. We Both Got Breast Cancer. We Made Opposite Choices.

    What happens when two healers get the same cancer diagnosis—and their intuition leads them down completely opposite paths? Cindy Ryan is a Reiki Master and detachment therapist who discovered her breast cancer tumor through her own intuition. The diagnosis: triple negative, the most aggressive form. As a healer who teaches others to trust their inner guidance, her intuition clearly told her to do chemo and radiation. As a shamanic guide myself, I was diagnosed with the same cancer. My intuition told me the exact opposite: decline all conventional treatment and trust my body to heal through shamanic practices. Both of us are deeply spiritual. Both of us trusted our intuition completely. And now, we're both thriving! In this conversation, Cindy shares her full story—how she discovered the cancer, why she chose chemo despite being a Reiki healer, and what she believes were the spiritual and emotional roots of her diagnosis. We explore how intuition can lead two people down completely different paths, and why honoring your own inner knowing is the only way forward. Whether you're facing a health crisis, navigating big life decisions, or learning to trust your intuition more deeply, this conversation will stay with you.
