In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant and insightful Destiny Bennett @theycallmemamabennett, who grew up in a day care center and has become an influencer encouraging “gentle” parenting. We talk about the stress and joy of being a mother, the power of self-care, and how to move through generational trauma. You'll also hear the audio from her viral video. She’s impressive and inspiring! Be sure to stay for the after show with my own incredible kid, September.

S4 E1: Going There with Katie Couric Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I was thrilled to sit down with the wonderful, kind and accomplished Katie Couric. After four decades in the public eye as a television and online journalist, producer, and author, Katie remains a deep-thinking, down-to-earth creator, mother and friend. We discussed Katie's beautiful and honest new memoir, Going There, as well as our respective relationships to our parents, children, social media, COVID and life in 2021. I loved talking with Katie and cannot recommend her daily newsletter (Wake Up Call), podcast (Next Question), and memoir enough! Take a listen.

S3 E24: It's The Lucy (And Teri) Show Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I wrap up the year with my very own Lucy Hartman, who joins me to talk about a few of our fun family traditions, my Year of Health (including 100 inadvertent days of Whole30), my social media break, my love for Roy, self-care, traveling together, who's influenced me, family values, and the tough year of transitions that kicked my butt. I also have quite a bit to say about bras! You won't want to miss the origins of our family's coined phrases, including don't kiss the garbage can; don't be a Santa crusher; and angels and guides, we need a space!

S3 E23: Branching Out May 27, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I was delighted to sit down with American singer-songwriter Michelle Branch! We met on my trip to Mexico and continued our lively poolside conversation in this episode. She fills me in on the inception of her career, which started when she was only 17. She shares about her romantic and musical relationship with her husband, Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, and we also touch on motherhood, recording and touring, the future of The Wreckers, Michelle’s next album, her gift at interior design, what’s truly important in life, and strawberry shortcake!

S3 E22: Lessons From My Mother May 06, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, in celebration of Mother’s Day, I sit down with my children’s father, world class yoga educator Devarshi Steven Hartman, to reminisce about our mothers’ lives and deaths. It’s rare that mothers of a couple would be friends, but our mothers were, and we honor them by discussing what and who they were and were not. We touch on cooking, camping, doing dishes, parenting our kids, and living (and dying) without regrets. We are truly blessed. This tearjerker includes an engaging after show with our own @itsthelucyshow.

S3 E21: Sharing Peas And Love Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I was excited to sit down with fellow cookbook author Danielle Renov of @peaslovencarrots, who truly inspires the best in people! We are connected by our love of food, family, and faith. Like me, she follows her parents’ and grandparents’ footsteps by speaking her truth and desiring to make a difference in the world, while truly being herself. Danielle talks about how changing yourself changes the world, conscious consumerism, the grueling process of cookbook writing, content creation, her deep connection to Judaism, her upcoming tv show, and prunes!

S3 E20: For The Love Of Food Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I was delighted to sit down with Dan Pelosi, the popular, unpretentious, self-taught cook behind @grossypelosi, whose IG, Pinterest, and product line really exploded during the pandemic, when people were cooking seven days a week. We are so simpatico in our desire to create what he calls “edible love.” He tells me how he learned to cook from his family at an early age, his day job in fashion, his grandfather’s marinara sauce, his unique online appeal, cooking as storytelling, positivity, LGBTQI+ issues, and recipe creation.

S3 E19: Voices In Union Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with three of my fellow food Instagrammers, Michelle from @nomnompaleo who is Chinese American, Alice from @hipfoodiemom who is Korean American, and ChihYu from @iheartumami.ny who is Taiwanese American. It was such an important conversation, in light of the unthinkable level of racially motivated violence Asian Americans are experiencing in addition to decades of micro-aggressions and xenophobia. They share their own stories from a very vulnerable place, and I was honored to be a part of this heartfelt and deeply personal level of sharing about current events as well as what it was like to be an Asian American child growing up in the United States and living in a predominantly white area. Please take a moment to give this unique episode a listen and learn how to help. Find out the Five Ds of intervention by @ihollagram and how to use our collective voices to educate and illuminate. Let’s do this.

In addition, I feel so grateful that Michelle @nomnompaleo took the time to compile a list of resources for those looking to learn, grow, and make a difference right now. Absolutely set aside some time to click here, check them out, and share.

S3 E18 Fierce Influencing Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

In my recent Table Talks podcast episode, I sit down for the second time with my dear friend Joanne, The Korean Vegan. We talk about her TikTok debut, fiercely protecting the vulnerable ones (while staying vulnerable yourself), choosing joy over fear, being an aunt, balancing being a blogger and storyteller with being a lawyer, and her new book coming out this fall. It’s been amazing to watch her completely come into her own and develop new parts of herself over the past year. This episode is definitely not one to miss!

S3 E17 Crème de la Crème Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

In this episode I was honored to sit down with master chef and cooking educator Jacques Pepin, who has been in the kitchen for more than 70 years and in the public eye for 40. Credited for inventing the modern cooking show, Jacques talks about bringing up kids in the kitchen, cooking with your heart, epic friendships, and how small the cooking world is. If you enjoy a beautiful French accent, you will certainly enjoy listening to Jacques talk about my favorite topics: food and life itself.
