The Same 24 Hours

Latrese Kabuya and Meredith Atwood in conversation about racism 

She writes,

As an Empowerment Coach I have been a featured speaker on a local radio show. My segment is called, “Motivation Monday with Latrese.” I enjoy and am committed to give back to my community and have been an active advisor and chair of several after school initiatives as well as mentoring programs.

My passion is to uplift and encourage people, especially young girls and women. I have a YouTube/Podcast series called “Insights with Latrese,” where I encourage individuals to discover, connect and express the best version of themselves.

In 2015 I hosted the inaugural It’s All About You (IAAY) Empowerment seminar for girls ages 8-18. IAAY promotes healthy self-esteem, self-image and provides practical tools to help young girls overcome peer pressure and a host of other issues they face today. The goal of this seminar is to change girls from the inside out and help them find purpose!    

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am a wife and mother to five beautiful girls. Not to mention a surrogate mother and mentor to countless girls in my community."

Ada Cal­houn is author of the New York Times best­seller Why We Can’t Sleep: Wom­en’s New Midlife Cri­sis, an expan­sion of her viral sto­ry for Oprah​.com and a ​“gen­er­a­tion-defin­ing explo­ration of the new midlife cri­sis fac­ing Gen X women and the unique cir­cum­stances that have brought them to this point.”

Cal­houn’s last two books, both named Ama­zon Books of the Month, were the New York City his­to­ry St. Marks Is Dead: The Many Lives of America’s Hippest Street, and the mem­oir Wed­ding Toasts I’ll Nev­er Give.

Named one of the top ten mem­oirs of 2017, Wed­ding Toasts I’ll Nev­er Give was called ​“real­is­tic, lov­ing, laugh-out-loud fun­ny” (Pub­lish­ers Week­ly); ​“grace­ful, hilar­i­ous” (Library Jour­nal); ​“engag­ing, wise, love­ly” (Kirkus); ​“orig­i­nal, engross­ing” (New York Times Book Review); and ​“warm-heart­ed, Ephron-esque” (Wash­ing­ton Post). Mod­ern Love pub­lished the book’s first ser­i­al excerpt as ​“To Stay Mar­ried, Embrace Change;” it reached #1 on the Most Emailed list. The book was fea­tured twice on the Today show and named a ​“Hot Book” by Star.

St. Marks Is Dead, a 400-year his­to­ry of the New York City street where the author grew up, was called ​“rev­e­la­to­ry” (Kirkus), ​“cap­ti­vat­ing” (Pub­lish­ers Week­ly), ​“delight­ful” (Wall Street Jour­nal), ​“time­ly, provoca­tive, and styl­ish­ly writ­ten” (Atlantic), and ​“an ecsta­t­ic roll call” (New York Times Book Review). The New York­er online pub­lished the first ser­i­al excerpt, and the New York Times ran this relat­ed op-ed about cities and change. A New York Times Edi­tors’ Pick, St. Marks Is Dead was named one of the best books of the year by Kirkus, the Boston Globe, Orlan­do Week­ly, the New York Post, and the Vil­lage Voice, and it won the gold medal for U.S. His­to­ry in the 2016 Inde­pen­dent Pub­lish­er Book Awards. The Voice called it 2015’s ​“Best Non­fic­tion Book About New York,” and in a cov­er pro­file named its author ​“the most impor­tant new voice on Old New York.”

The Voice arti­cle said: ​“Her CV can seem as though it were cob­bled togeth­er from the résumés of three ambi­tious journalists.”

In addi­tion to writ­ing her own books, Cal­houn is an A‑list ghost­writer, col­lab­o­rat­ing on four­teen non­fic­tion books since 2009 for major pub­lish­ers, includ­ing sev­er­al New York Times bestsellers.

She has con­tributed essays to var­i­ous projects, includ­ing Beast­ie Boys Book; her essay there on Gen X wom­an­hood was called ​“one of the more effec­tive guest-star turns.”

As a free­lance jour­nal­ist, she has writ­ten for Time, Nation­al Geo­graph­ic Trav­el­er, O: The Oprah Mag­a­zine, the Times Lit­er­ary Sup­ple­ment, The New Repub­lic, Bill­board, Cos­mopoli­tan and Red­book. She has con­tributed three essays to the New York­er’s online ​“Page-Turn­er” col­umn; and two op-ed, three ​“Mod­ern Love,” and four ​“Lives” columns to the New York Times.

Past jobs include crime reporter for the New York Post, fre­quent con­trib­u­tor to The New York Times Book Review, and sec­ond-string the­ater crit­ic for New York magazine.

Her nation­al news report­ing has won mul­ti­ple awards, includ­ing a USC-Annen­berg Nation­al Health Jour­nal­ism Fel­low­ship, Kiplinger fel­low­ship, CCF Media Award (for her New York Times Mag­a­zine report­ing in Alaba­ma), Croly Award, and an Ali­cia Pat­ter­son Foun­da­tion fellowship.

She has taught report­ing and writ­ing at col­leges and work­shops, includ­ing pub­lic affairs report­ing at Hof­s­tra Uni­ver­si­ty, cre­ative non-fic­tion at the Rut­gers Sum­mer Con­fer­ence, and both mem­oir and non-fic­tion book pro­pos­al writ­ing at the Mia­mi Book Fair’s Writ­ers Insti­tute, where she also serves as the 2020 – 21 Non-Fic­tion Men­tor for their Emerg­ing Writer Fellowship. 

She is co-founder of the women jour­nal­ists’ soci­ety Sob Sis­ters and an advo­cate for pub­lic libraries. She lives in New York City with her hus­band and teenage son.

Chef Ryan Rondeno has a passion for French, Italian and Regional American Cuisine. Daily he introduces his clients to new cuisine with his focus on local, sustainable cuisine with a strong emphasis on bold flavors. Chef Rondeno continues to revamp his own style of cooking with the love of New Orleans cuisine and fresh California flavors.

Born in Metairie, Louisiana, Ryan Rondeno began a fortunate culinary upbringing surrounded by great southern cooks, including his grandfather who was a local legendary chef. He began his career at 16 working as a New Orleans prep cook, where his love for Cajun-Creole cuisine began. After graduating high school, he attended The Chef John Culinary Institute in Thibodaux, Louisiana. While in school, he working under the late Chef Jamie Shannon of Commander’s Palace, who instilled the importance of restaurant service, and Chef Anne Kearney of Peristyle, who focused on detail and perfection. These two chefs helped Rondeno build a strong foundation of southern cooking and superb technique.

After obtaining a college degree, he worked with chefs Emeril Lagasse, Anton Schulte, Mathais Wolf, Sue Zemenick, and Gerard Maras to enrich his culinary repertoire. Rondeno established culinary techniques in French, Italian, Southern, Cajun-Creole, and farm-to-table cuisines under remarkable chef-teachers and mentors. The opposing schools of stark simplicity and grand detail expanded Rondeno’s culinary range, allowing him to strike a balance to develop his own gastronomic flare.

When Hurricane Katrina forced thousands to evacuate their homes in New Orleans, Rondeno relocated to Atlanta in 2005. It was there he rejoined the Emeril Lagasse Corporation as a saucier, butcher, and sous chef under Chef Michael Blydenstein. As he continued to hone his skills, Rondeno moved to New York where he became Executive Chef at a Southern style seasonal restaurant.

In 2014, Chef Rondeno started Rondeno Culinary Designs. Chef Rondeno focuses on creating crafty and elegant bites for his clientele. I have found the perfect mix of combining New Orleans cuisine and fresh California flavors.

In 2016, he developed the Ryan Rondeno Spice Collection (Nola Creole Rub, Citrus Herb Rub, and Ancho-Chili BBQ Rub). His focus was to help cooks enhance the flavor of the dishes.

I asked Latoya to come on the podcast to talk about running and body image, sure. BUT I really wanted to talk about racism. As a woman who has enjoyed not only privilege in traditional sense, but white privilege, I want to listen. I want to understand. I really wanted to talk about Ahmaud Arbery and the things that have been happening in our country that white people don't understand, can't understand. That I contend that we SHOULD try to LISTEN, LEARN and really HEAR.

I knew that she was not a voice for "all black people," but I do know that I wanted to hear her perspective, as a black woman. I wanted to LISTEN.  

This is one of the most powerful conversations ever on the podcast. We got honest, real and I am grateful she was so open with me and my audience. Onward to more LISTENING.

Thank you, Latoya.

Lauren founded Career Contessa in 2013 after experiencing a gap in career development resources for women who might be job searching, soul searching, leading and managing, or trying to find new ways to advance within their careers. With women accounting for more than 50% of the workforce and the workforce being less defined than ever before, it seemed crazy (and outdated) that a resource for us didn't exist. 

Formerly, Lauren was a University Recruiter for Hulu focused on hiring, employer branding, and program management. Lauren has a Bachelors in Education from the University of Oregon and a Masters in Communication Management from the University of Southern California where she wrote her thesis on millennials and career resources.

When not Contessa-ing, you can find Lauren walking so she meets her 10,000 steps/day goal in Redondo Beach, CA where she lives with her husband.

Jen Hatmaker joined my community for a LIVE recording of the podcast via Zoom. We covered all the bases, y'all. From body image to the Enneagram (Jen's a 3, I'm an 8), to "the truth will set you free" and how The King's Daughters often present the biggest challenges. We talk grace, forgiveness, self-awareness; criticism and pain; community and finding new friendships. Two powerful questions from audience members, Kimberlea and Rebekah, round off the show. 

Jen writes: "I believe women living in freedom are the answer to all that ails society. When we are exactly who we are, how we are, where we are, as we were always meant to be, women are the greatest gifts to this world. My whole life’s work is to serve women as they genuinely show up for their own lives. We need not fear the truth, or hard questions, or spiritual curiosity, or challenging unjust systems; that is literally why we are here... You are beloved and necessary and good."

A special thanks to Jen for her time, grace, wisdom... and all of her fierceness that is giving women a voice and a space to be heard.

Family doctor and expert, Dr. William Sears, is the co-author of the new book : The Healthy Brain Book.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults will experience mental illness in their lifetime, and most end up paying more for treatment than they would for physical health conditions. While this is an alarming truth, family Doctor William Sears and neurologist Vincent F. Fortanasce - have positive news: it’s possible to treat and even prevent the onset of mental illness with the right medication or even WITHOUT medication at all, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.

In their groundbreaking new book, The Healthy Brain Book, Sears and Fortanasce team up to bring readers an all-ages guide to having a calmer, happier, sharper brain, whether experiencing “normal” mental and emotional burnout or wrestling with diagnosed illness. In the Healthy Brain Book, the authors explain that while the brain is a complex organ, the diverse set of mental and emotional challenges we have stem from one cause: imbalance in the brain.

The Healthy Brain Book will help those struggling to thrive and get their brain back in balance by teaching readers the following:

What we think can change how well we think

The role of inflammation in the brain, and how food and activity can reverse it

What drugs can enhance or suppress the brain’s ability to heal itself

Actionable advice to improve your memory, promote learning, and prevent common brain ailments

How to personalize the book’s tools for your unique brain

• [3:45] What keeps an author motivated to write more than 40 books?
