This Week in Women LIVE is Back!
My guest on Monday will be Joelle Boneparth, an assistant general counsel for a Fortune 100 company, an author, and a mother of two little girls. I’ve been hooked on Joelle’s weekly newsletter, Our Tiny Rebellions, since she started it earlier this year, and I can’t wait to ask her about it. Tune in LIVE on Instagram. Monday, August 16th at 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT.
I’ve booked guests through mid-November, and I can’t wait to discuss everything from public health, to the state of the restaurant industry, to homebirth and so much more.

Conservatorship aside, Spears is a wealthy individual who needs professional financial advice, DuQuesnay said. “Her attorney can now focus on removing the conservatorship entirely or putting a system in place that works best for Britney,” she said. “Money, time and angst were all saved by Jamie’s decision to step down.”
