New Sisters Catch-Up:  Hanging out with Valerie Bertinelli, Jon Bon Jovi, The Boss and our dearest college friends.

Welcome to the publication day special for The Marriage Sabbatical, the new book by Lian Dolan. From William Morrow out April 2, 2024. In this episode, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan talk to Lian Dolan about the inspiration behind her latest novel, an adventurous story of one Gen X couple who hit midlife and need a vacation from their lives, their marriage and each other. Wife Nicole heads to Santa Fe to study silversmithing. Husband Jason opts for a motorcycle trip through Patagonia. What will happen when the sabbatical ends?
We discuss process, writing habits, inspiration, storytelling and what if everyone thinks this is about Lian's marriage. Plus, take a look behind the planning of a book tour. (Hint-- not as glam as Sex & The City makes it seem.)
To buy The Marriage Sabbatical, head to your favorite indie bookstore or find it everywhere, including here.

Women's Wellness and Thriving Through Transitions Like Menopause and Aging

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month! For today's episode., we revisist Lian's story of being diagnosed with colon cancer after a routine colonoscopy and how that early screening may have prevented a much more serious outcome.
It's also the story of how being pestered by her friend Karah to get that screening may have saved her life. Satellite Sisters and Misters, this is what we do for each other. You have our permission to pester! 
We also bring listeners up to date as of today in terms of Lian's health. Four years after diagnosis and treatment, Lian talks about what it means to be a survivor and the lessons she learned about cancer as a patient that could be helpful to anyone going through cancer themselves. Or caregivers.
Please share this show with your own Satellite Sisters and Misters.

Here are the new guidelines for testing. 
For support for patients and families, here are some resources.

Colon Cancer Coalition 
Colorectal Cancer Alliance
