My upcoming book When Women Get Sick shows women and their supporters how to maximize coverage, benefits and security and minimize stress, fear and confusion as they navigate illness. It will make people angry, because it exposes just how deficient our healthcare system is and how it hurts women. But it will empower women with cancer and other serious illnesses to get the right help and avoid being left holding the bag as they fight for their wellness. ​ When Women Get Sick uses the power of storytelling, and the experience of a twenty five years in-the-trenches advocate to educate women about what to worry about when they get sick. It’s often a “clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right” situation; a messy mix of the healthcare provider system, third party payers, employers, and slow-as-molasses government entities. The book guides readers through the navigation process with stories, questions, checklists, and useful information. The big idea here is to give women agency, empowering them with practical t

Michael Puck, a Senior Certified Professional with the Society of Human Resource Management, is an animal-loving philanthropist who merged his economics education and career in human resources with his lifelong passions for both dogs and photography. The unlikely combination led to the discovery of how photographs of dogs can solve some of the most pressing human challenges in business and clinical settings. Images of dogs not only break the ice but also foster trusting relationships and promote physical and mental recovery. Photos of dogs can reduce patients' mental and physical recovery times and enable caregivers to connect with their patients more easily. According to Puck, references to dogs and photos are used in psychotherapy to put patients at ease and enable more effective care conversations. "Based on what I have seen and what I know about the science of how dogs and pictures of dogs benefits us, I believe that dog photos can make a substantial difference not only in ICUs and hospital rooms but in a

Millennials are opting for prenups in record numbers compared to previous generations. They are also more likely to simultaneously plan for divorce while preparing for their wedding, essentially assuming that it won’t last. This isn’t surprising when almost half of all marriages in America end in divorce. But what if you could take preemptive action to have one of the marriages that last? Most people are aware of the financial investment involved in marriage, which is why many people try to protect themselves with a prenuptial agreement. However, the often-unnoticed emotional investment is the key to a successful marriage! An emotional prenup can help engaged couples navigate difficult topics before marriage and offer a blueprint to avoid conflict and divorce.

The rumors are true; there are more barrels of bourbon than there are people in Kentucky.​ In fact, statistics tell us there are nearly two barrels of aging bourbon for every Bluegrass State citizen. With a population of nearly 4.5 million and each barrel yielding close to 200 bottles, it's safe to say the average Kentuckian doesn't have to look far for a bottle of amber gold. While Kentucky may be known as bourbon's home base, for bourbon lovers everywhere, the act of drinking bourbon is about more than just its acquisition. It is a lore and an experience, but most of all it is a legacy. As people across the United States and the world begin to wake up to the allure of Kentucky's state beverage, bourbon is having its moment—the act of coveting, collecting and savoring bottles is now a worthy passion to pursue. With budding enthusiasts clamoring to know more about this American-born creation, finding an entry point into the history and culture of the spirit is a task not easily undertaken.
