I’ve written a memoir and a children’s book, edited two anthologies, penned many round-ups (monthly for Good Morning America), and shared a lot of personal essays. My debut novel (!!) Blank comes out in March 2024.
Why did I start a podcast?I was trying to sell a book of my parenting essays called Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books when a girlfriend (author Sarah Mlynowksi) suggested I start one. I had stayed home with my four kids for the previous 11 years but had always been writing (since my grandparents published my short story collection as a miniature book when I was ten!).As a lifelong book lover, the idea of interviewing authors sounded amazing. I figured, “Why not?!”
I launched my 30-minute, daily podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books in March 2018. It started weekly but became daily in March 2020 — and has stayed that way. The podcast has won many awards and is regularly in the top 200 of the Apple Arts charts. I’ve hosted 1,500 authors on the show including novelists, actors, memoirists, chefs, athletes, musicians, politicians, thriller writers, business leaders, poets, playwrights, and more — and it’s been downloaded more than 10 million times! But it led to so much more….
Check out all our offerings. Read my books. Get inspired. I changed my life drastically when I was almost forty years old after sustaining a lot of loss. And now, I’m living out my dreams.
