Be sure to tune in to my BRAND NEW interview on The Women's Eye Radio with  guest Kelsey Witherow, the "fearless leader" of DOUGHP, a "legit cookie dough" business! In 2015, Witherow got sober, left a career in high-tech product marketing, and followed her passion for baking.

She opened her first store with "edible, bakeable, and ridiculously tasty cookie dough" on San Francisco's PIER 39, then a kiosk at the Giants’ Oracle Park, and just recently branched out to the Miracle Mile shops inside Planet Hollywood.

It was at the opening of her Las Vegas Strip location that I first met Witherow and became instantly taken with her story.

Stacey Gualandi chats with Kamala Lopez, the award-winning actress, activist and director of the documentary Equal Means Equal. I think you will enjoy this fascinating “Her-story” lesson!

In her 2016 film, Lopez tackled gender discrimination, legalizing equality and the mission long underway to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The film received Best U.S. Documentary (Audience Award) at Michael Moore’s TCF Festival and was a New York Times Critics’ Pick.

She also just received the inaugural YaleWomen Impact Award for Excellence, which she will accept at the National Press Club in March. It is described as an "unflinching look at how women are treated in the United States today" and likely an early rallying cry for the current - and very timely -  E.R.A. ratification "movement."

Stacey Gualandi chats with Carole Brody Fleet, widely credited as America's go-to expert on grief recovery. Carole joins me in the studio to talk about her latest book, Loss is a Four-Letter Word, a Bereavement Boot Camp For the Widowed, available now.

When Carole Brody Fleet lost her husband Mike to ALS, she was a young mother of a 9-year-old girl. Resources on how to navigate this unimaginable and frightening "widowhood journey" were hard to come by so she began writing.

She understood what it meant to feel alone and marginalized, and "wanted to be someone that people felt they could turn to."

This award-winning author is not only a wonderful writer and tireless advocate for widows, she is also a long-time friend of mine and TWE. I first interviewed her nearly a decade ago after my dad passed away.
