RECORDED INTERVIEWS AND SPEAKING
SPEECH
Soft Transformation Learned the Hard Way
On August 30, 2023 in Malmo (that’s in Sweden), I had a wonderful time at The Conference. As part of this fascinating two days, I dusted the time of COVID off my speaking skills and gave a combination of my keynote performance and a “useful takeaway” on leadership.
PODCAST
Podcast: You Seem Interesting
Danny Rouhier and I went to school together from kindergarten through high school. He then became a comedian, and my life tumbled out the way it did. Here, we chat about all of it.
PODCAST
Podcast: We’re Only Human
Tim titled this episode Lydia Slaby: The Stories We Tell Ourselves To Make Sense Of It All, and that’s really what this one is about. We taped it in March, just as COVID-19 was taking hold in the United States, and it was (and remains) the perfect opportunity to think about how we respond to life-changing events.
PODCAST
Podcast: School for Good Living Part 1 and Part 2
Part 1: We discuss universal life lessons as laid out in WIGW! “I wanted other people to understand that they could leave their life before they were forced into it.” (Me)
Part 2: Creative process, writing tips, relationship with my editor. “Don’t hide who you are in favor of who you want people to see.” (Me again)

Podcast: One Tough B!tch
Honestly, how many of you are surprised that I’m on this podcast? One of my favorite lines: “Start recognizing where you are making your own excuses, and just stop.”

Join me and the team from H+K UK for this conversation about the importance of imperfect stories, steering away from words like ‘battle,’ and why I don’t define myself as a survivor.

Emmy-award-winning (very fancy!) Danielle and I had an amazing conversation about health, marriage, and being kind to your only life partner: your body.
