Embracing the chaos of life and accepting imperfection!
Guest: Lee Woodruff author of In an Instant and her new book, Perfectly Imperfect
LISTEN on Bloom Talk Radio
Podcast: Aired live July 8, 2010
After the success of her first book, In an Instant, co-authored with husband and ABC anchor Bob Woodruff who survived a traumatic head injury in Iraq, Lee Woodruff writes a lighter chronicle of real life as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend in Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress.
Just like her book, Lee will charm you with her humorous whit and ability to get personal to give us her view on raising teens, aging, being a not-so-sports mom, having style (or not) and surviving a crisis.
Don’t miss my up close interview with Lee Woodruff and her take on living a great life without having to be perfect.

Lucky to Get Fired & Find Happiness

When your purpose changes, it’s time to find a new purpose.
Guest: Dominique Browning, author of Slow Love
LISTEN on Bloom Talk Radio
Podcast: Aired live July 1, 2010
As editor-in-chief of Conde Nast’s House & Garden, Dominique Browning found herself fired when the magazine folded on November of 2007. She had four days to pack up her belongings and was suddenly, without warning, out of work.
Slow Love is Dominique’s new book and as she describes it, ” it’s about wearing your pajamas to the farmer’s market, packing up a beloved
home and downsizing to a more rural setting, making time to play the piano and go kayaking, picking up the Bible, reinventing yourself, and not cutting corners when it comes to love, muffins or gardening.”
We’ll talk about what it means to reinvent yourself when life suddenly changes beyond your control and how to find humor, joy and unexpected surprises in living a life that was never sought, but just happened. With excerpts from her book, Dominique fills us in on her journey from the fast paced Manhattan lifestyle of magazine deadlines and high-end events, to slowing down to love life and find happiness.
