In this episode, author Emily Locker talks about her brand new book, Running Mates, balancing life as a mother, writer, and therapist, the highs and lows of social media, and all the books and authors we love most.


Emily and I have been, apparently, running parallel but inverse lives, and it was super fun to talk about all the things we had in common, but reversed.

In this episode, I share an abridged version of a 2019 talk for A Tour of Her Own, celebrating young women who have changed the course of history (and were left out of most textbooks).

Girls make history. Their history is our history.

Happy Women's History Month.

In this episode, Keasha Lee talks about branding, reinventing herself, personal growth, and what to do when people don't like you.

Keasha and I met in a business class in 2015 or so, and I was immediately drawn to her warm, confident personality. She reminds me of Tabitha Brown, and I mean that as the highest compliment. I know you'll love her too!

In this episode, Jeanne Goussev shares how she became a race-winning, featured-in-a-documentary bad@$$ sailor, a bit about what keeps her going, and how she is navigating an MS diagnosis.

In episode six, Kaitlin Calogera, founder of A Tour of Her Own, and I talk about some of our mutual faves: history and business! Kaitlin shares how her non-traditional college experience and life in DC helped to shape her interest in history and opens up about a tragedy in her life and how her community stepped up to support her. We also talk a bit about how adding more voices and stories to our understanding of history is good, ac...

In this episode, Jackie Stewart shares how a cross-country move, grief, and endless love are in "love and conflict" triangles. Jackie talks about how the loss of her mother inspired her to do the things she truly wanted in life, how she dealt with the "Seattle Freeze," and how neither of us know what we're doing.

When I first got the idea to create WAIDHA podcast, Jackie was on my "must-interview"...

September is Suicide Prevention Month, which is near and dear to me. This episode starts off with a set of affirmations and reminders before getting into heavier topics.

I briefly chat about mental illness, suicide, the changes we need as a society to prevent suicide, and how we as individuals can take immediate action to support those around us- or how we can get what we need.

Remember, you are loved.

For this episode of What Am I Doing Here, Anyway? I wanted to share a bit about the options that exist after getting your diploma, how there's no R...

Katie also shares why you should always spay and neuter your pets...

In the very first full length episode, very first guest Ve'lyn Crosby shares how she came to embrace peace and softness in a world that is often anything but. When I first got the idea to create WAIDHA podcast, Ve'lyn was one of the first guests I thought of because of her kindness and openness, and she certainly embodies both in the episode. When brainstorming with a friend, I mentioned interviewing Ve'lyn, and the fr...
