I'm Tess, and I want to help you get healthy eating delicious food that you are your family are actually excited to eat! (Otherwise healthy habits just don't stick and we want to eat donuts and fries...right?!)

I'm a cook and author of The Blender Girl cookbooks with Penguin Random House, and the creator of The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® health programs. Millions of people use The Blender Girl recipes, I've sold over 200,000 cookbooks, and over 30,000 people have used my programs to get healthy and stay healthy. I grew up on a conventional diet of meat and three veg, and enjoyed good health. Until I developed debilitating fatigue in my teens. I was finally diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus. I tried what felt like a hundred different diets looking for ways to restore my health. The power of whole foods, smoothies, salads, soups, juicing, and other healthy recipes helped me gain my energy back! I enjoyed really good health and ate whatever I wanted and never put on any weight. (Yeah...one of "those" people) for most of my life. Until I turned 40, my hormones shifted, I was exhausted, I packed on over 30 pounds, and I looked like a puffed up blowfish. So, I cherry-picked the best parts of everything I tried, and in consultation with some of the best doctors and dietitians in the country, created The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® systems. I lost over 35 pounds, I was sleeping through the night, and had more energy than I had ever had. So, I consulted with some of the top doctors and dietitians in the country to fine-tune this system for other people. So, I put a group of beta testers through the programs, and the results were incredible. (Watch the video testimonials on my websites.) Now that over 30,000 have used these systems to get healthy, lose weight, reduce, inflammation and aches and pains, improve their gut health and digestion, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, regulate their blood sugar, sleep through the night, gain more energy, and get glowing skin, I have the data: These programs WORK. What is the secret? REALLY AMAZING FOOD. That is why people do my programs and keep coming back with their friends and family. Because the food is healthy and also DELICIOUS. My superpower is putting mind-blowing flavors together! Every recipe has to look beautiful, be nutrient-dense, make you swoon with every bite, and leave you dreaming about having it again. So, basically, I create every recipe like it's our last meal on earth, and I'm cooking for George Clooney! When you love the food you're eating, it is easier to stick to healthy habits for long-term changes. My team of dietitians and I help thousands of people every month get healthy and improve their quality of life. We want to help YOU! Read my full story: https://www.theblendergirl.com/about/

Grammy-award-winning audiobook director, Paul Alan Ruben is on the It Has To Be Me podcast sharing how he works with actors and authors to deliver performances that move us.
Paul is all about getting a narrator out of their head—simply focused on reading the words—to intuiting the feelings of the characters and bringing the silent spaces to life so we feel like we're living in the story. Such a fantastic conversation.

Audiobook fans and narrators: Paul Alan Ruben, Grammy-winning director is on the It Has To Be Me podcast walking us through the process of working with actors to deliver riveting performances that make us feel like we’re living inside the story.
Tracking Paul’s journey from acting with Second City to directing and writing, he recalls why he stopped chasing laughs, and the moment that cemented his decision to direct actors. To collaborate with authors and publishers, he started an audio production company, and became a go-to director for high-profile titles with celebrities.
Diving into what makes a compelling audiobook, Paul looks at why we lean into some narrators and not others. It’s not about the genre, a savvy reader, or a “golden” voice. It’s about a great actor intuiting the feelings of the character, and not only delivering the subtext with the words, but breathing life into the silence—what’s not being said. Takeaway: Turn up the playback speed and you'll miss the nuances of the performance.
Paul imparts key lessons from directing Meryl Streep, Burt Reynolds, Michael J. Fox, Lynn Redgrave, Johnny Depp, senators and cabinet members, and his insights on working productively with people, regardless of status or star power.
Paul says to the actor and the listener alike: Understanding a story has zero to do with position or intellect. Give yourself the time to listen, feel, believe, and experience, and go on a magic carpet ride.
