This week, I’m talking to Ashley C. Ford. Ashley is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, SOMEBODY’S DAUGHTER. She’s also an essayist, a podcast host, a speaker and an educator. This conversation touches on some of my favorite topics, including the "idea" of success vs. what it really feels like on the inside, following a path that's right for you and not what others expect of you, how it’s OK to not feel OK (especially right now) and tons more.

This week, I’m talking to Glynnis MacNicol, a longtime New York City journalist, author of the memoir "No One Tells You This" and the creator and host of the podcast Wilder. You probably know Glynnis from widely-acclaimed memoir "I’m Mostly Hear to Enjoy Myself" which came out last year.

In her work, Glynnis explores freedom and making unconventional choices, the pleasure of knowing and accepting yourself as you are and living an independent life and we're discussing what it is to have a healthy relationship with ambition and success even as we're both aging and the publishing industry seems on the brink of collapse.

My guest this week is Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh. Wynter is a sought-after independent digital media strategist who’s responsible for the social media campaigns of many famous people you know. She's also an extremely online Gen Xer who's finding a lot of joy and contentment in what she does. This episode is about breaking rules, getting comfortable with precarity, knowing and accepting what you're good at and what you can't do at all, Charlie Sheen, the Democrats, and how Wynter is possibly, improbably surviving (and thriving) on social media right now.
