After the attacks of October 7, 2023, Zibby Owens, the bestselling author, podcaster, publisher, and book influencer reached out to Jewish writers and advocates and asked them to contribute essays to an anthology, “On Being Jewish Now.” In the essay collection, 75 writers share heartfelt reflections that reveal the Jewish experience across a range of snapshots—faith, family, food, and a shared history of both joy and trauma stretching across millennia.

Vaginal Estrogen + The Fight to Remove Misleading FDA Warnings on Life-Saving Local Estrogen Products Oct 21, 2024

Do you use vaginal estrogen? Recommended by top menopause specialists, backed by multiple studies, vaginal estrogen is proven to work to prevent or treat the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

GSM is incredibly common and includes bladder leaks, vaginal dryness, painful sex, and frequent UTIs, which can be deadly as we age.

But many women are scared of vaginal estrogen due to an outdated and misleading FDA-mandated warning label that treats local vaginal estrogen with the same broad brush as systemic estrogen.

In this episode, Katie connects with three women’s health leaders behind a new campaign called “Unboxing Menopause” which calls for the FDA to update or remove this misleading warning label. Top urologists Drs. Kelly Casperson and Rachel Rubin give us an explainer on how vaginal estrogen prevents the tissue decline and infections that kill too many elderly women and costs the economy billions. Let’s Talk Menopause co-founder Donna Klassen loops us in on the goals of the campaign and how you can help move this critical women’s health initiative forward.

Time To Talk About How You Really Feel with Burnout Pro Dr. Jessi Gold Oct 14, 2024

For Dr. Jessi Gold, everything was absolutely fine—until it suddenly wasn’t. As a practicing psychiatrist and assistant professor, Dr. Gold was used to being constantly busy. Dr. Gold’s always-on, never say no approach to caregiving led to extreme burnout and the need to seek treatment for her own mental health. Now, Dr. Gold is out with a brand new book, “How Do You Feel?” that is part memoir, part mental health manual, and 100 percent designed to stave off burnout, overwhelm and guide people in caregiving roles to protect their mental health. We explore burnout versus full-blown depression, the signs of impending burnout, when DIY self-care at home is the right move, and when it’s time to seek professional treatment. Plus, we uncover the high costs of perfectionism and the pursuit of gold stars, and get into strategies for caring for yourself while caregiving for others.

Monica Molenaar of Alloy on the Life-Changing Magic of HRT and Why We All Should Be Estrogen Activists Jan 30, 2023

Going into surgical menopause overnight at 40 wreaked havoc with Monica Molenaar’s health, well-being, and marriage. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restored her equilibrium and overall wellness. Now, Monica is an “estrogen activist” working to offer menopause solutions, resources, and community to women in peri, menopause, and beyond as a co-founder of women’s telehealth and pharmacy platform Alloy. We talk hormones, breast cancer, why menopause is inevitable, but suffering is optional, and how to build a menopause support team. Bonus! Monica shares snippets of her expat life, and how a lifelong New Yorker came to find herself launching a company (while tending a garden) in The Netherlands.

Fitness and women’s health expert Amanda Thebe offers no BS ideas to feel fitter, stronger, faster, and saner in 2023.

Ready to amp up your 2023 fitness? We talk at-home workouts versus the gym, kettlebells, mobility work and functional fitness, how often to exercise (and for how long), and why time-crunched midlifers can embrace a “fitness snack” approach.

Do you remember rotary phones, the Go-Gos, Gunne Sax dresses, and job hunting with a Crane’s heavy-weight paper resume in hand?

Aging as a Spiritual Experience (Plus, the Power of Radical Self-Love) with Amanda Hanson aka The Midlife Muse Dec 12, 2022

Expiration dates are for milk, not for people. But in a youth-obsessed and beauty-focused culture, women are bombarded with messages that their value and worth are fleeting.

We get into the divine feminine, the transformative power of incremental change, and why you can't buy radiance at the beauty counter—time to invest in a "soul care" routine.

Reclaiming Identity as We Age, Motherhood, Desire, and the Joy of Loving Something—Anything—Like Your Life Depends on It with Author Tabitha Carvan Jul 18, 2022

Have you ever subsumed yourself so completely in something external—motherhood, career, a relationship that you lost your sense of self? Meet Tabitha Carvan, author of "This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something—Anything—Like Your Life Depends On It." Tabitha was a mother of young children when she fell hard, from afar for the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Slowly she realized that her preoccupation with the actor was not about Cumberbatch; it was about feeling passionate about something that restored her sense of self. We get into how aging can erase or rebuild our identities, motherhood, the taboo of embracing desire, and her stunning and hilarious debut book. And if you're thinking, "Benedict Cumber-who?', time to hit Google to see what all the fuss is about. ;-)

Do you remember Jazzercise, the Jane Fonda Workout, the ThighMaster? How about a time when the sports bra didn’t exist?

Meet Tracey Cox, one of the world’s foremost writers on sex and relationships. With 16 best-selling books, she is back with a buzzy new podcast and the midlife must-read, “Great Sex Starts at 50: Age-Proof Your Libido & Transform Your Sex Life,” which offers reassuring, nuts-and-bolts advice for keeping your sex life humming.

Global Advocate Jody Day on Living a Childless Life May 10, 2021

Mother’s Day is a holiday impossible to escape or ignore. But not every woman is buying what Hallmark is selling. Many women have complicated relationships with their mothers. Others mourn lost or absent moms, and many women are not mothers at all, either by choice or by chance.

Jody is an author, a TEDx speaker, an integrative psychotherapist, and the founder of a global friendship and support network for childless women. She joins me to share her take on how involuntarily childlessness impacts life, happiness, intimacy, and more.

Parenting (and Midlife) is a Crazy Salad. Writer Melissa Fenton Helps Us Make Sense of the Cray, Cray. Oct 19, 2020

Why didn’t anyone tell us that parenting and midlife were going to be hard? Okay, maybe they told us. But we weren’t listening, because we were young and fun, and obviously never going to be 50. Hooray for hilarious truth-tellers like writer Melissa Fenton who mines both the magic and mundane of parenting and midlife for outlets like Grown & Flown, Scary Mommy, and The AARP’s The Girlfriend. In today’s show, we talk surviving teens and midlife and learn how Melissa built a successful freelance writing career.
