This twenty-minute soup is fiber-rich and soothing. During pregnancy and after birth, your intestinal muscle capacity is reduced, and remains so during the first two to three months postpartum. Adding more fiber to your diet will help shift that sluggishness and keep things moving. Make a batch or two and freeze it. 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil 2 tablespoons fresh turmeric root, Melt the coconut oil in a heavy medium pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the turmeric, ginger, and lentils. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until fragrant, then add the yams. Toss until the yams are coated and slightly caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer uncovered until the lentils and yams are tender. Remove from the heat, then mix in the coconut milk and cilantro. Season with the salt and pepper to taste and serve. **************** More One Part Podcast Episodes Exploring Pregnancy and Motherhood: This episode was also supported by Amazon.

Last week was a big week, the week I got my book deal. After months of back and forth, with contract negotiations I signed the contract. And then almost threw up opening my first advance check. And DID throw up after meeting with publishers in NY. If you're starting here, I wouldn't. Go back and start from the beginning. When I left you at the end of the episode, I was about to move to Charleston after living in Chicago for nearly 16 years. Remember, I was going to start my book as soon we arrived and I could unpack my kitchen boxes. But it didn't really go as I expected... | |||

| THE COOKBOOK DEAL | Episode 00: The Agent + Proposal | 02 Feb 2017 | 00:16:33 | |
Welcome to The Cookbook Deal, Also The Weirdest Year Of My Life, a podcast series brought to you by One Part Podcast. Over the next few weeks, I'll be taking you through the entire year I spent making my cookbook, One Part Plant. I've recorded the entire process, all the ins and outs, the ups and the meltdowns, and so many things in between. Things that I could have never expected. We'll be getting into that weirdness and also the actual process of making this book in the coming episodes. I recorded it all. And I mean, ALL. But in this first episode, it's more of an introduction. I wanted to give you a little background into what needs to happen before you're able to get a book deal. Because those are the questions I get asked most. How do you find an agent? How much do you pay her? How do you make a proposal? How long does it take from writing the proposal to getting the deal? And the most common question after someone finds out I'm writing a book for a major publisher…how'd YOU do that? I thought this would be a good place to start. So hang tight if you came here for the drama and emotional moments, those will be happening very soon, and often. I promise. As in the next episode.

| Episode 70: Asking For Money, Standing Your Ground, And Paying It Forward With Emily Fiffer Of Botanica | 08 Dec 2016 | 01:04:41 | |
This is the last episode of the season. I'm taking a mini-break, which actually isn't a break, because I'm going to be working on the new podcast series during that time. So it's more of a you-won't-hear-from-me-for-a-few-weeks break. The new podcast has an official title! It's called "The Cookbook Deal / Also The Weirdest Year Of My Life" and will be a 7-episode series launching the second week of January. I've recorded the entire year of making a cookbook – from getting the deal to recipe testing dramarama to trying to finish my manuscript during a hurricane. I recorded it all. And actually, I'm still recording. I'll be giving you the first episode in the OPP feed, but then it will live in The Cookbook Deal feed for the remainder of the season. If you're signed up for the OPP newsletter, you'll be notified at soon as it launches. You can do that here, if you're not signed up already. OK, today's guest! I'm talking to Emily Fiffer, co-founder of Botanica (the online food magazine and soon-to-be restaurant). Emily and I talk about what tough lessons she's learned from opening a restaurant, the not-so-warm-welcome she's received from some men in the restaurant industry, the importance of being aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and the celebrity she'd most like to watch eating her food (yes, in a creepy way).

Today's guest is Amanda Chantal Bacon of Moon Juice. I'll have to say that this is one of my favorite interviews of the season – because of a big piece of advice that Amanda gave. I almost cancelled therapy for the week because of it. It resonated with me that much. Amanda and I discuss how her wellness journey began with an intervention at a grocery store as a child, how (as an introvert) she's able to recharge with her busy schedule, why she actually believes triggering negative criticism can be a good thing, and how we all have our own superpower within us.

Jennifer Syder is this week's guest. She's a writer, editor, and the host of the Creating Your Own Path Podcast. This episode got a little raw and emotional, and I'm so grateful that Jennifer was willing to share what she's going through right now with the hope that it might help someone else. In this episode, we discuss what it's like growing up with a disability, how she learned that the process of grief is different for everyone, why it's important to cut yourself some slack during difficult times, and how it's OK if sometimes you just want to go to bed.

This podcast guest has been here before. But I just can't get enough. This week, I talk (again) to Ashlae Warner of…well, a couple different brands. In the episode, Ashlae reveals the new business and brand she's been keeping secret for a year. And it's pretty exciting. We talk about how she felt blogging wasn't a sustainable career in the long term (anymore) and what she decided to do about it, the lengthy-red-tapey process of starting her new business, why she's kept it secret, and inside scoop on the other brand that has emerged from starting her new business.

| Episode 64 (Part Two): Making Periods Safer, Healthier, and Look Kinda Cool with Molly Hayward Of Cora | 20 Oct 2016 | 00:50:56 | |
A couple of months ago, I received emails from two brands that are changing the game in the feminine-hygiene category. Both were interested in being on the podcast and both were selling the same kind of product (natural tampons). But they were doing it in such different ways, that I couldn't decide which one to interview. They were both so innovative (and looked cool, too). So I didn't choose. I interviewed both. Two interviews about tampons?! Yes. In part two, I interview the co-founder of Cora, Molly Hayward. Molly and I discuss how she found her partner and how it wasn't who she expected, the big difference between natural and organic cotton products, landing a deal with Target after only being in business for six months, and why it's her mission to make sure that every woman on this planet has access to safe menstrual products.

Two interviews about tampons?! Yes. In part one, I interview the founder of Lola, Alex Friedman. Alex and I discuss the hardest part about building an early-stage company, the process of testing and launching a new product, why there is still a stigma around feminine-hygiene products, and how she's making big steps to change the industry.
