My Simplified Life podcast moved to two episodes p

My Simplified Life podcast moved to two episodes per week last month. To be honest with you, I could do an interview every day but I'm not sure my reading could keep up with it! (Yes, I'm reading every word of every book!)⁠
⁠
I released 9 episodes last month and have another 9 for January ready to go! December had all authors but January has some non-authors too! I love the stories and lessons we learn from books, but it's truly the people behind the books that offer us the life lessons which is why every interview means so much to me.⁠
⁠
Ep 257 BLUEBIRD DAY with Meg Tady⁠
Ep 258 PICK UP with Nora Dahlia⁠
Ep 259 NEW HAPPY with Stephanie Harrison⁠
Ep 260 THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN with Hannah Mary McKinnon aka Holly Cassidy⁠
Ep 261 THE LAST SANDSTORM with Jasmin Faulk-Dickerson⁠
Ep 262 NOT YOURS TO KEEP with Zelly Ruskin⁠
Ep 263 POSTMORTEM: WHAT SURVIVES THE JOHN WAYNE GACY MURDER TRIALS with Courtney Lund O'Neil⁠
Ep 264 THE STORIES WE CANNOT TELL with Leslie Rasmussen⁠
Ep 265 MAMA with Nikkya Hargrove⁠
⁠
Have a book coming out in 2025? Send it my way! My Netgalley account and my bookshelves are overflowing but I'm excited to share your books and have more authors on the show!⁠
⁠
Love how these authors are sharing themselves on podcasts? Consider a Podcast Book Tour™ (my shameless plug for what podcast interviews can do for authors!)! ⁠

My conversation with Lauren Ling Brown was so incr

My conversation with Lauren Ling Brown was so incredible and I would be remiss if I didn’t share more of it with you all (you should really just listen to the full episode!).

I am all about empathy…we cannot grow as individuals or as a community if we don’t have empathy for others. Just because you haven’t experienced something directly, does not mean that you can share in the sadness, grief, happiness, fear or any other emotion that an experience can bring in.

Books allow us to build empathy. Podcasts allow us to build empathy. Listening is what builds empathy.

Thank you Lauren for building empathy through your book and sharing it with all of us.

Secret societies, an unsolved murder, a relationsh

Secret societies, an unsolved murder, a relationship between sisters and more...that's what SOCIETY OF LIES is all about and trust me when I say it was goooood! Heck, it was so good that Reese Witherspoon made it her October book club pick! ⁠
⁠
I loved talking to Lauren and hearing how important it is to her to have characters who represented her. Being Black and Chinese, Lauren grew up not seeing characters in stories or shows that were like her and shares why cultural representation is so very important in what we read and watch and why she's making it a point to include representation in her characters. ⁠
⁠
Lauren opens up about her relationship with her sister and how this book brought them closer than ever before, I asked her about her meet-cute love story (she's engaged!) and how her fiance inspired her to write this novel. ⁠
⁠
I thoroughly enjoyed SOCIETY OF LIES and know you will too! I'm ready for the movie version of this...and maybe a sequel?! ⁠

Authors who are launching a book this year (and even if you launched one last year or years ago, this is still for you!)....

I am not a gatekeeper of information (i.e. I wrote HOW TO GET ON PODCASTS so that everyone can pitch themselves, create speaking topics and repurpose their interviews into greater marketing content). I have a lot of freebies on my website and today I created yet another for authors!

Booked & Bound: The Author's Guide To Getting Podcast Ready For Your Book Launch

It's 10 pages of checklists and details on how to pitch yourself to podcasts with tips along the way like what my favorite microphones are, speaking topic ideas and more.

The link is in my stories and you can just head to themlgcollective.com and click on Freebies! There's an entire page dedicated to authors so you can create your own Podcast Book Tour™!

My new year gift to you!

Looking back on this year, it feels like it’s been much longer since some of these moments happened. My book came out, we did Podcast Book Tours™️ for a number of authors, the podcast expanded, I read more books and collectively the podcast interviews we booked for clients reached over 6.74 MILLION podcast listeners!

I just sent out my last Substack for the year. No resolutions, just one thing I’m leaving behind in 2024…comparison.

@tarajayefrank said it beautifully yesterday…stop taking life advice from people who “talk good” but even more important, stop taking advice from those who haven’t lived what you have. I needed to hear that message, so I’m sharing it far and wide!

Take a moment today to reflect on all you’ve accomplished this year because I’m sure it’s much more than you think!

Happy New Year!!!

I can honestly say that the books I read this month were life changing and I mean it. I felt every emotion possible and cried multiple times.

Thank you to the beautiful human beings who write these books so that we may learn, escape and grow as people.

Forgiveness is powerful but takes work and in my o

Forgiveness is powerful but takes work and in my opinion, a very strong human being. Nikkya Hargrove is definitively that.⁠
⁠
Nikkya's memoir, MAMA, details how she was raised by her grandparents while her mother was incarcerated. She shares what visits to the prison were like and her ultimate decision to raise her baby brother (who is now 18!). ⁠
⁠
As a reader, we are lucky to get to know Nikkya and to experience not only her desire to live the life she dreams of but to also see it come to fruition...from finding love to having an "instant family" to growing her family all the while determined to have a stable life for herself and those she loves. ⁠
⁠
Nikkya is now building an incredible community in Stratford, CT with her bookstore, Obodo Serendipity and bringing not only books to her neighbors but also a place where everyone is welcome. ⁠
⁠
Family...we are born into one but we also have the opportunity to create and choose who we want to be our family...our chosen family. ⁠
⁠
I'm so grateful that Nikkya shared her story with all of us (spoiler, she's working on her next book so we can continue along with her story!) and that she not only took the time to talk to me but to have become friends.⁠

2024 was definitely one for the books…

It’s almost one year since HOW TO GET ON PODCASTS came out and I officially became an author.

The book has helped thousands of people share their stories and be interviewed on podcasts. I couldn’t be prouder or more humbled to know that words I wrote helped people do that.

If sharing your story and knowledge on podcasts is a goal for 2025, why not grab a copy or download the audiobook (I narrated it!)!

I don’t have a book coming out in 2025, but maybe I’ll finish the next one!

Keep sharing your story with others. It’s the ultimate gift!
