Kathryn interviews Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Zucker School of Medicine Hofstra Northwell Jill Maura Rabin MD, author of “Mind Over Bladder: A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Continence.” Bladder incontinence affects as much as half of the female population, yet many are too embarrassed to seek help. Dr. Rabin offers an informative, easy-to-understand guide that will give women back their freedom and help them regain control over their bladder. Supported by extensive clinical research, she demystifies a frightening medical problem and acquaints readers with all available therapies. Dr. Rabin seeks to educate women of all ages on the many causes of incontinence and the variety of treatment options available. She’s authored four books on women's health and her numerous awards and honors have included the excellence in teaching award from the Association of Professors in Gynecology and Obstetrics. Kathryn also interviews Serial Entrepreneur & Venture Capitalist Gina Dubbé, author of “High Heals: How Two Women Found Their Footing in the Medical Cannabis Industry.” Upon first glance, Dubbé doesn’t look like a likely candidate to own a medical cannabis dispensary. As a suburban mother with a resume loaded with professional certifications, Dubbé and her business partner not only opened a dispensary but have dominated the industry ever since, doubling their business alone in 2020. Their goal is to break up the stigma that marijuana should remain on the fringes of society and help those looking for relief find solutions to the everyday chronic pain and qualifying illnesses or symptoms that constrain them. Dubbé serves as the Managing Director and Co-Founder of Greenhouse Wellness, an award-winning dispensary in Maryland, and is also Co-Founder of Blissiva, a female-focused cannabis line. Her many accolades include Forbes Magazine’s Women Who Built Outstanding Companies.

Kathryn interviews Founder of Chesapeake Bay Candle Mei Xu, author of “Burn: How Grit, Innovation, and a Dash of Luck Ignited a Multi-Million Dollar Success Story.” She tells the story of how she built Chesapeake Bay Candle, filling the home décor shelves at Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and eventually Target. She went on to meet and counsel thousands of entrepreneurs and business people, and even advise President of the United States Barack Obama on the topic of job creation. To help small businesses in the age of COVID-19, Xu recently launched Yes She May, an online shop for well-designed products in fashion, wellness, beauty and home from women-owned brands. She is a Trustee of the University of Maryland and a member of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women. Kathryn also interviews Judy Batalion PhD, author of “The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos.” One of the most extraordinary stories of the Holocaust and World War II has remained hidden until now: the daring resistance efforts of Jewish women in the ghettos of the Nazi occupation. Batalion shares the acts of defiance and rebellion of women who saw and acknowledged the truth of their time, faced an inevitable death, worked together and risked their lives daily in the fight for justice and liberty. She reveals the ingenuity and tenacity of a handful of astonishingly brave young women, underscoring how their movement was larger and more organized than the annals of history have recorded—until now. Batalion’s essays have appeared in the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Forward, Vogue and more.

Kathryn interviews Science Journalist Bret Stetka MD, author of “A History of the Human Brain: From the Sea Sponge to CRISPR, How Our Brain Evolved.” Just 125,000 years ago, humanity was on a path to extinction, until a dramatic shift occurred. We used our mental abilities to navigate new terrain and changing climates. We hunted, foraged, tracked tides, shucked oysters — anything we could do to survive. Before long, our species had pulled itself back from the brink and was on more stable ground. What saved us? The human brain — and its evolutionary journey is unlike any other. Stetka takes us on this far-reaching journey, explaining exactly how our most mysterious organ developed. A non-practicing physician and Editorial Director at Medscape.com, his work has appeared in NPR, Scientific American Magazine, WIRED, The Atlantic and more. Kathryn also interviews Personal Development Leader Jack Canfield, author of “I Can Believe in Myself.” The power of positive thinking is one of the most valuable lessons we can teach our children, and sitting down together to read a book that gently approaches the topic is the perfect way to open the conversation. Canfield has created a relatable tale about a young girl’s struggle to move beyond her comfort zone. Parents and teachers alike will appreciate the themes of compassion, confidence and self-esteem contained in this beautifully illustrated book. As the co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Canfield has taught millions of individuals his formulas for success. He is the author and co-author of more than 150 books (including 66 bestsellers) with more than 100 million copies in print in 47 languages around the world.

Kathryn interviews Pediatrician Harley Rotbart MD, author of “No Regrets Living: 7 Keys to a Life of Wonder and Contentment.” Many people reach the end of their lives wishing they could change the past. Turning back the clock is impossible, but Dr. Rotbart offers sage guidance to help us appreciate what we have in our lives, and take greater pride in what we’ve done with our lives — without spending precious time and energy wishing things had turned out differently. Woven into his timeless message are especially timely observations on the COVID-19 pandemic, from his expert perspective as an infectious diseases physician, including coping mechanisms and paths for going forward as individuals and as a society. He is Professor and Vice-Chair Emeritus of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the author of more than 175 medical and scientific publications, including five previous books for general audiences. Kathryn also interviews Filmmaker Joshua M. Greene, author of “Unstoppable: Siggi B. Wilzig's Astonishing Journey from Auschwitz Survivor and Penniless Immigrant to Wall Street Legend.” Greene delivers a captivating story, as well as an historic document that will resonate with readers long after they finish his book. This one-of-a-kind rags-to-riches adventure follows a young boy from starvation on death marches to dinner at the White House, and recounts the volcanic, miraculous life of Siggi Wilzig, who survived the Holocaust to become one of the biggest — and most unexpected — successes in postwar American business. A featured speaker at the Pentagon and the Judge Advocate General’s College, Greene frequently lectures at state bar associations on issues of war crimes law. He has spoken on issues of Holocaust memory for NPR and Fox News, and his editorials have appeared in the NY Times, the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune.
