Forgiveness…this was a question I had early on i

Forgiveness…this was a question I had early on in reading I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. Jonathan explains the importance of forgiveness in such a beautiful way and offers us all something to contemplate.

Thank you for your honesty and candidness, Jonathan. I’m so grateful for you and to you.

Life can throw us curve balls, but what do you do

Life can throw us curve balls, but what do you do when you simply weren't supposed to be where you are? ⁠
⁠
What if you knew that before you were born, life was already against you? How would you persevere? Could you keep getting up and dusting yourself off to succeed?⁠
⁠
Jonathan Conyers has defied every odd thrown at him. He's a testament of what it means to keep going, to create your own village and to recognize that we all need help from others...and the importance of paying it forward. ⁠
⁠
I met Jonathan in June in NYC and we immediately clicked. I did not want our conversation to end. He quite literally saves lives every day. Lives of newborns and teens. ⁠
⁠
Jonathan's memoir, I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE chronicles how he grew up knowing his parents tried to abort him because they didn't think they could handle another child, how they were addicted to drugs, from being homeless to living in shelters, the prospect of being involved with the wrong crowd...and how the teachers in his life helped him propel forward AND how the homeless man at the bus station taught him to tie his first tie. ⁠
⁠
Hearing Jonathan's story will make you reflect on your own life. How are you being the village for someone who needs it, especially a child? Who has impacted your life and have you told them? ⁠
⁠
I can't wait for you to hear Jonathan's story and I highly encourage you to read his book...I do promise you'll cry, be inspired and in complete awe of what a human being he is. ⁠

I’m happy. Yet, I’ve felt unsettled for some r

I’m happy. Yet, I’ve felt unsettled for some reason. Am I doing what I’m meant to be doing? Is what I’m doing enough and making a true difference? If I dabble in something “outside of my lane”, then am I making a wrong move? If I want to do more, do I have shiny object syndrome or simply dreams to chase?

My beach read has been NEW HAPPY by @stephaniehson & the light bulbs have been going off! The questions Stephanie has you ask yourself to define your wisdom and talents are extremely similar to the questions I ask to define your speaking topics & expertise. In other words, I’m also helping people discover their wisdom, talents & essentially what will make them happy. 🤯

Stephanie brings up “the curse of knowledge”…this is why it is so hard to define our own topics and expertise! Once we know something, it becomes hard to imagine not knowing it....sounds familiar around speaking topics!

Your knowledge extends to more than what you know and have learned. It encompasses your life story and what you’ve been through. From NEW HAPPY, “Wise people choose to see pain and struggles in a different way; not just as an experience they personally need to get through, but something that can be transformed to help another person.”

This book helped me realize not only why I’m doing what I’m doing, but also why I am the way I am. I experienced loss as a child and that taught me early on to lead with compassion, empathy and sensitivity, to care about all I come in contact with and to always listen closely when someone shares their story with me. It’s the reason I want to tell the stories of more people, read books, learn about authors behind books, help people reach one another on a greater scale.

I am doing what I’m meant to be doing AND my want and need for growth isn’t shiny object syndrome…it’s who I am and it makes sense that I would want to scale what I have already created.

Do yourself a favor and buy a copy of NEW HAPPY today! It will change your life! I wrote more about it in my substack today!

I am so immensely proud of my friends who have con

I am so immensely proud of my friends who have contributed to ON BEING JEWISH NOW and they deserve to be celebrated for their courage, honesty and bravery. Sharing your stories and experiences is a big deal and I want them to know how proud of them I am. ⁠
⁠
I received an advanced reader copy of ON BEING JEWISH NOW and I am so grateful for the many personal stories and experiences shared in this anthology. I am not Jewish, but you don't have to be to be outraged by what happened not only on October 7th but continues to happen every day in our country...acts of antisemitism. I have many friends who are Jewish and have been deeply saddened and angry on their behalf for the acts of hatred that are occurring simply because of their religion. ⁠
⁠
Having friends and relatives who fought in WWII (one who is 103) and hearing firsthand what they saw during the Holocaust has made me want to ensure all Jewish people are able to simply live as they are...a freedom many of us take for granted all too often. ⁠
⁠
I personally know a number of the authors included in this book and despite that, I still learned more about their journeys and experiences by reading these essays. There is always more to learn from others and this book gives us the opportunity to expand our empathy for our Jewish friends, to understand how very personal this is and to do better on behalf of them. ⁠
⁠
A HUGE thank you to every contributor for sharing your stories, being vulnerable and allowing the rest of us to read what you've experienced and feel. ⁠
⁠
To those of you that I know personally and have the privilege of calling you my friends who are a part of ON BEING JEWISH NOW, know that I am SO proud of you and I stand with you.⁠

Career changes are scary no matter what your age i

Career changes are scary no matter what your age is. What about a want to become an actress and filmmaker later in life? Is that even possible? ⁠
⁠
Yes, friends, it certainly is!⁠
⁠
Katie Prentiss was (and still is!) a photographer and mother, but at one point she felt the undeniable tug to try her hand at acting. She walked by a film production and vowed to be on set one day. ⁠
⁠
Not only did Katie make her acting dream come true, but she’s also now a filmmaker! Her upcoming feature length film, WAKE UP MAGGIE, is a personal story that tackles frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and what it’s like to be a caregiver. ⁠
⁠
Finding meaning in your career, sharing your personal story to help others and love what you do are gifts we give to ourselves. Katie has done all of this and is truly an inspiration with her story. ⁠
⁠
Katie is the example of what I want to strive to be...unafraid of trying new things, going for it and making a difference in the lives of others with what we do. ⁠
⁠
Today marks the last day of FTD Awareness week. While WAKE UP MAGGIE is currently in pre-production, I invite you (and greatly encourage you) to make a donation to help fund the movie. There’s a tax deductible option that goes along with the knowledge that you’re helping bring awareness to a disease affecting more and more. ⁠
⁠
Thank you Katie for showing us the importance of chasing your dreams and making a difference!⁠

Shaka from Maui…thank you, things are great, tak

Shaka from Maui…thank you, things are great, take it easy, right on…

And hello to another Monday…thanks to @fourthousandmondays, I remind myself not to take a single one for granted. Thank you Jodi for the tattoo that traveled with me just so I could capture this Monday moment! I have roughly 2100 more Mondays left and spending it like this is exactly what I want.

On our flight here we learned that a dear friend of ours passed away. She was like a second mom/aunt to our happy hour crew (the actual aunt of one!) and someone I often turned to for advice. She had lived for a number of years in Hawaii and I picked her brain about moving here every chance I got.

Last weekend we got to see her at a dinner party and I took some time to sit down and thank her for all of her wisdom and advice she’d given me over the years. I wanted her to know what she’s meant to our family but I had no idea that a week later she wouldn’t be with us.

As we count the Mondays we have left, let this be a reminder to not only spend them the way we want but to also tell those we love and admire that they’re amazing.

This is exactly why pitching your book to podcast

This is exactly why pitching your book to podcast hosts doesn't work...we aren't interviewing your book...we're interviewing YOU! ⁠
⁠
Podcast pitches that are only about a book don't land interviews. Yes, your book is amazing and valuable and entertaining, but the book isn't going to hold a conversation with a podcast host. ⁠
⁠
YOU, the human being behind the book and the beautiful words is what is going to make for a great conversation. ⁠
⁠
When you pitch yourself to be a guest on podcasts, be sure to pitch yourself. Of course your book can be included but remember that the interview is with YOU, not your book. ⁠
⁠
I receive pitches every single week that are about books launching. They don't tell me a thing about the author but it's the author I want to get to know. It's the person I want to talk to. The human connection and conversation...⁠
⁠
Shameless plug that Chapters To Chats starts with our first live call on Tuesday, October 8th. I've already started sending out the calendar invites and syllabus...oh yes, we have a weekly plan with book club questions (kind of like homework!). Link is in my bio to join us! ⁠

I recently discovered the term multi-hyphenate from my friend Hitha Palepu and instantly a light bulb went off. I suddenly had permission (from myself) to have more than one title, to allow myself to further explore opportunities that interested me. ⁠
⁠
Enter WAKE UP MAGGIE...a coming of middle age feature length film by @katieprentiss (you'll get to meet her on Tuesday's podcast episode!). Katie was her mother's caregiver when she was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)...a disease that most of us only learned about when Bruce Willis was diagnosed. ⁠
⁠
This week is FTD Awareness week and that's exactly what we're doing...raising awareness, education and ultimately working to #endFTD. ⁠
⁠
WAKE UP MAGGIE is a story about a young sister being diagnosed with FTD and how her sister becomes her caregiver...she too is a multi-hyphenate...a caregiver, a mother, a wife, a business owner, a PTA volunteer. ⁠
⁠
I'm beyond grateful to be a part of this magical team creating a movie that not only tells a beautiful story but also raises awareness on a disease that affects over 1 million people. ⁠
⁠
Our world is so lucky to have women like Katie and @emmahemingwillis who add caregiver to their titles while also helping raise awareness around FTD. ⁠
⁠
If you'd like to be a part of @wakeupmaggiemovie, head to my stories for the link! It's going to be epic...I promise!⁠
