It sounds like a stereotype—women not being involved in the family finances, so much so that when something catastrophic happens, like a divorce or a death, they don’t know where to turn. Surprisingly, many women are still in the dark when it comes to financial literacy, either because they’re simply not interested, or they allow their partners to do the heavy lifting in this area. Even as the child of a divorce lawyer, you would think I would have taken the time to understand the financial world as a young adult. But, I actually didn’t do it until I was forced to when my mother got sick and I had to handle everything from her personal finances to her business finances. In this episode, Wanda Cooper, who is an experienced financial advisor and a radio host of a show about financial literacy, gives us best tips on how to up your financial IQ and protect your future.

Dating in midlife is not for the faint of heart. I’ve been listening to many friends over the past few years who found themselves suddenly single and decided to dip their toes into the dating pool again. Let’s face it, a LOT has changed, including how we meet the people we date. Most of these meetings happen online, a place where it’s easy to deceive others into thinking that you are someone you are not. Often, when the date does show up in person after an online courtship, women realize this man was not who he said he was. In short, women in midlife must kiss a lot of frogs on their way to finding their prince, if they’re even looking for a prince, that is. In this episode, I speak with two savvy midlife daters who share their journey to love and everything in between. From the fuzzy online profile pictures men post on dating apps, to profile pictures taken in bed or in bathrooms, to men who post edicts about how much makeup a woman should wear, my guests break down their hilarious journeys in the midlife dating pool.

I'm so excited to share my new thriller novel with you. It is set in the North Carolina mountains and follows the point of views of four characters as they unravel the mystery surrounding a missing hiker in the deadly terrain. This is a completely new set of characters from my previous murder mystery series. But like my previous fiction, the main character is a crime journalist who can't walk away from the tug of case once it gets in her head. My plan is that "Whispers on the Mountain" will be the first in a new ficton series. This is my thirteenth book. To learn more about the book and how to order it see the link below!
