The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast

In this episode, we discuss why memoir matters, what inspires me to write, and how my own dating adventures—and the desserts that helped me survive them—inspired Gluten For Punishment. If you’ve ever considered writing your own story, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation.

Uncle Jimmy’s Podcast

Chatting with Jimmy, I share my journey of reinvention, embracing singleness, and the healing power of baking. The conversation ambles through themes of therapy and self-reflection, embracing change and forgiveness, navigating mental health and therapy, exploring true crime (my fav!) and dark tourism, aging, identity, and self-worth, passion for cooking and baking, lessons in love and self-acceptance, and finding strength in vulnerability.

The Last Storyteller Podcast

This episode delves into the six dating stories that formed the basis of my book, touching on relationships described as romantic, poetic, intense as well as toxic.

The conversation also covers the changing dating landscape from the 1990s to 2020s, the importance of collaboration with an editor and illustrator, and how cooking can be healing and a form of moving meditation.
