It’s the delightful Jacqueline’s Book Birthday!!! 🥳🎉🎉 If you haven’t ordered a copy of yet, what are you even doing with your life? If you are a human in a body, this book will speak to you. Check the blog post for an easy link to buy! 📚📚📚 Repost from

It’s my book’s 3rd birthday! The Me, Without questions what might happen if we stop a habit instead of working to make better ones. If only for a few weeks, what will we learn about ourselves? What deep stuff will we face? What new choices will we recognize? Will we choose differently? How might we change?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I interviewed many super-smart specialists in health, art, and tech + tracked the journey of my Year’s study to create this book. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s for anyone feeling stuck, helpless, or uninspired. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of it explores how to live well with chronic illness. So I hope it offers community for those feeling powerless within their bodies, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was just as sick at the end of my Year. Technically, I was sicker. But I transformed inside. The things I learned have evolved and kept me in the light, being a sick, disabled, and single woman living in (largely) solo quarantine these last two years.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope reading it brings you comfort and empowerment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Season Two is off with a bang as Kim and Allison spend a morning with cool-as-f**k Laura Benanti: a woman who has conquered Broadway, toured the country with her own vaudevillian cabaret show, made us laugh through our fear and misery as the Bonkers Melania impersonator on Colbert for four years, and single-handedly started a movement for lonely artsy high schoolers during COVID with her inspiring doc Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020 with HBOMax. She's also just a lady trying to figure out how to parent and unpack her privilege, feeling like an Imposter much of the time, like the rest of us. (Unbelievable, but true.) Dive in for some delightfully deep conversation with a fierce advocate, and capital-A Artist we genuinely wish could be everybody's ballsy best friend.

Finishing up our First Season is a soulful conversation with Liz Elkins Newcomer, an actor, educator, and enneagram coach currently based out of New Orleans. Liz & Kim delve into perfectionism, grief, the damaging effects of preconceived notions and much more. If you've never heard of the Enneagram, or if you got confused by the jargon and "wings," this conversation will help! Liz walks us through all Nine Types, and shares how learning about her type ultimately afforded her the self-compassion necessary to consciously evolve beyond her habits.

As we move toward a New Moon in PISCES on Saturday, it seems fitting to finally share this discussion with our beloved Ramona Sidlo (( )) astrologer, healer, and a vibe-lifting wonder of the first order. For those of us struggling with the messiness of being human, sometimes a healer can aid in lighting the path a few feet ahead of us in our darkness. Ramona works with energy, which can be confusing for those of us raised in a world that pretended the only magic was relegated to the Bible and being On Time was the same as being late, but the relief from even one remote session will make a believer out of just about anyone. Ramona shares her journey to healing, which is a lot more like "Almost Famous" than the tale of the Buddha. ⁠

🛑 CONTENT WARNING 🛑⁠
This episode weaves in and out of several triggering/upsetting topics, including but not limited to:
su***de, IV drug use, addiction, recovery, dysfunctional home environments, PTSD and more.

Episode 4 is LIVE! 🥳🥳🥳

Waaaaay back in September of 2020 we got to chat with Kim's friend, bookish badass and elected representative Emily Virgin of Oklahoma's House of Representatives.

Emily shares very candidly about her journey with mental health, the deep familial ties that guided her to service, and the challenges of leading during a pandemic in a state unable to overcome the deeply politicized landscape that has allowed COVID-19 to claim almost half a million American lives.

We have more from Emily coming up in a special bonus episode, too! Check it out wherever you get your pods!
