]]> Nathalie Carpenter nathaliescarpenter@gmail.com Her Surrender Became Her Comeback | Dorothy Cascerceri Simone on Grief, IVF & Healing "We were all taught to never give up and to just keep going and white-knuckle things — and we were misled. It's actually in the letting go, and it's in the surrender that I think gifts show up beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of." — Dorothy Cascerceri Simone Dorothy Cascerceri-Simone is the host of That Greenwich Life, a content producer, travel writer, infertility awareness advocate, and a mother. She built her career in celebrity news covering reality TV personalities including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian for People Magazine and other major TV networks before eventually stepping back to raise her family in Greenwich, Connecticut. On the outside, she was living the perfect life. Inside, she was barely holding on. In this episode, Dorothy opens up with radical honesty about the kind of grief most people never speak out loud. She shares the devastating story of her son Dean, diagnosed at the 20-week anatomy scan with a fatal congenital heart defect and a rare syndrome that made surgical  intervention impossible. She walks us through years of IVF — five rounds, over $100,000 spent, multiple losses, and the moment she finally sat on a beach and told her husband they had to let go. She also shares the unexpected turn that came just weeks later, the grief retreat that cracked her open, and the mantra that dismantled a lifetime of victim mentality on a freezing February morning. This is a conversation about what it really costs to want something desperately, what it feels like when it feels like your body keeps failing you, and what becomes possible when you finally stop fighting and surrender. WHAT WE EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE: (07:35) The version of herself Dorothy is grateful to have left behind: perfectionism, anxiety, and always living in survival mode (14:25) Becoming a mom for the first time, undiagnosed PPD, and the identity crisis no one talks about (16:20) Dean's diagnosis, the impossible decision, and the grief that followed (24:56) "I don't know if I would have survived it": Dorothy’s most honest admission about her darkest days (31:25) Rebuilding a marriage after catastrophic loss (37:28) The positive pregnancy test she refused to celebrate and the miracle that was quietly already underway (46:52) Healing the nervous system — EMDR, tapping, CBT, breathwork, and the therapist who helped her reparent herself CONNECT WITH DOROTHY @DorothyOnTV on IG That Greenwich Life podcast CONNECT WITH NATHALIE AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter "We were all taught to never give up and to just keep going and white-knuckle things — and we were misled.

]]> 2352 How Ripley Rader Turned Fierce Joy into a Fashion Empire "I have a mantra: here I go, boldly and terrified. Of course you're terrified but that does not stop me from going boldly. I just hold them both, and move forward." -Ripley Rader Ripley Rader is the founder, designer, and namesake of Ripley Rader, the women's fashion brand beloved for its effortlessly chic, body-inclusive designs that are as comfortable as they are stylish. A trained musical theater performer who studied at NYU and danced on Broadway, Ripley discovered her calling in fashion when a buyer from Fred Segal spotted the jumpsuit she'd sewn herself and offered to launch her, if she could manufacture in the US for under $200. From that single moment of serendipity in 2012, Ripley built her brand brick by brick alongside her husband Ben, growing Ripley Rader into a nationally recognized fashion label with a 10,000-square-foot headquarters in Downtown LA and a loyal community of women who show up both fiercely and joyfully.  In this episode, Ripley opens up about the "god nods" that guide her decision-making, why she's turned down every investor to protect her freedom, and how a chance encounter at a concert changed the entire trajectory of her life. She shares the story behind her "fierce joy" brand philosophy, what it really means to mentor young women with "delusional self-esteem," and why she believes there's no comfort in growth.

]]> 1925 3 Breast Cancer Survivors. Nothing Held Back. Celebrating 30 Years of BCA. The Breast Cancer Alliance launched its 30th anniversary celebrations with a live recording of All Over Again Podcast—an emotional and deeply personal afternoon spotlighting the realities of breast cancer survivorship, resilience, and growing cases among younger women. Recorded live, this conversation in collaboration with the Breast Cancer Alliance is unlike any other episode of All Over Again. The conversation featured survivor-advocates Miranda McKeon, Sarrah Strimel-Bentley, and Kiley Dunham-Castricone who sat down with Nathalie to share what cancer actually looks like from the inside: the chaos, the clarity, the unexpected humor, the joy that exists even in the darkest moments, and what it looks like to begin again.  Kylie Durham-Castricone is a four-time metastatic breast cancer survivor, artist, and mother of two. When she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease, a rare form of cancer that infiltrates the spinal fluid, she was given three months to live. Today, she is cancer-free and a thriving artist - her story is proof that the worst thing that ever happens to you can become the foundation for your purpose. . Former Broadway performer Sarrah Strimel Bentley is a fertility preservation advocate, yogi, founder of A Chance for Life, and mother to a miracle son, Chance. Diagnosed with stage two invasive ductal carcinoma at 38, Sarah navigated breast cancer, a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and surrogacy simultaneously. Her nonprofit gives full surrogacy grants of $150,000 to breast cancer survivors who cannot afford to carry their own pregnancies, ensuring that women fighting for their lives don’t have to give up on the family they’ve dreamt of.  Miranda McKeon is a content creator, actress best known for her role in Anne with an E, and breast cancer awareness advocate who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer as a 19-year-old college student. She is now 24, cancer-free, and one of the most compelling young voices in the breast cancer space. Known for her refreshing honesty, Miranda has turned her platform into a resource for young women who are told breast cancer isn't something they need to think about yet. This episode is at once heartbreaking and hilarious, deeply practical and profoundly moving. It is a reminder that beginning all over again doesn't always look the way you planned and that hardship and joy can coexist.  Held at Bosco’s Bar & Grill in Old Greenwich, the event marked the first-ever live recording of All Over Again Podcast and served as both a celebration of the Breast Cancer Alliance’s 30 years of impact and a reminder of the power of storytelling to foster awareness, connection, and healing.

]]> 3012 Swag Bags, Supermodels & Second Acts: Elizabeth Harrison on Reinventing a Legacy PR Agency and Herself "I think maybe I wish I had enjoyed the ride a little bit more. I was so intense, so driven, so worried about doing it perfectly. I didn't take a moment to understand or be grateful for all the amazing things that were happening in the moment." - Elizabeth Harrison Elizabeth Harrison, co-founder of one of New York's most storied PR and communications agencies, has spent over 30 years shaping the brands and cultural moments that defined an era. From placing Jimmy Choo on Sex and the City to  inventing the swag bag, and elevating Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to be the brand that became synonymous with th runway. Elizabeth built her career on access, instinct, and a relentless drive to move faster than everyone else.

]]> 1987 Joy Mining, Breast Cancer, IVF & the Fertility Miracle Named Chance: Sarrah Strimel-Bentley on Living Out Loud "Mine your joy. Not in this toxic positivity way, but mine your joy. Life is gonna keep lifeing. But there always is, I promise you, joy through those times." — Sarrah Strimel Bentley Sarrah Strimel-Bentley is a former Broadway performer, women's health advocate, yoga entrepreneur, and founder of A Chance for Life, a nonprofit that funds the full surrogacy journey for breast cancer survivors. Diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 38, Sarah navigated chemo, a double mastectomy, ovarian removal, and two rounds of IVF before ultimately welcoming her son Chance via surrogate. Known for her trademark concept of "joy mining," Sarah has built a life around turning toward pain rather than away from it and helping others do the same. In this raw, joyful, and deeply moving conversation, Sarah bares all: growing up as a self-described perfectionist who secretly battled anorexia, building and closing yoga studios, finding the love of her life at 38, and discovering a walnut-sized lump in her breast while walking her  dog nine  months later. Sarah shares how the muscle she built on Broadway, tenacity, resilience, the ability to pivot, is the same muscle that carried her through breast cancer treatment, the IVF journey, and her surrogacy journey. She also opens up about 120 days of sobriety, writing her memoir-in-progress, and why right now, in this season of life with a two-year-old, that is more than enough. What we explore in this episode: (00:48) How Sarah wants people to feel after spending 10 minutes with her and the origin of "joy mining" (07:47) The yoga practice that saved her body, healed her eating disorder, and prepared her for the fight of her life (17:21) Confronting a changing body after breast cancer — and not forecasting the worst (24:47) The dog walk that changed everything: finding   a ump and advocating for her health  (30:44) Life after diagnosis: why she'd tell her former self, "You did it right, sister" (45:38) A Chance for Life: the nonprofit born from her $150K IVF and surrogacy journey (48:48) Sobriety, survivorship, and what it really means to start all over again (54:07) Parting words: mine your joy, build your community, and keep going Connect with Sarrah: @SarrahStrimelBentley on IG A Chance for Life Foundation Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:26:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter "Mine your joy.

]]> 3486 They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds. "We don't have control of the number of days we are on this planet. We should embrace it, love it, and live it the way we want to be remembered." — Kiley Durham - Castricone Kiley Durham is an artist and designer turned breast cancer advocate whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. At 21, Kiley moved to New York City for a fashion internship and never left — going on to work with renowned designer Kay Unger, heading the evening design department, and building a career in fashion design and jewelry consulting. In 2017, three months after the birth of her second child, a lump that doctors initially attributed to mastitis turned out to be stage three triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a years-long battle that included a bilateral mastectomy, brain surgery, a rare and often times fatal cancer complication called leptomeningeal disease, a breast cancer recurrence, and a total of six years on treatment. Today, Kiley dubbed by her physicians as “a unicorn,” is two and a half years cancer free, enjoying motherhood, and channeling her experience into advocacy work with the Breast Cancer Alliance and the YWCA. In this deeply moving episode, Kiley shares the full arc of her cancer journey, from the discovery of breast cancer, to the moment she blacked out in her New York City apartment and woke up to the news of a brain tumor diagnosis, to the devastating conversation with a doctor who had tears in his eyes as he gave her  the prognosis of LMD. Kiley also reflects on how to support others with a cancer diagnosis, and the collateral damage of cancer — surgical menopause at 37, osteoporosis, brain fog, and the emotional toll on her family — and why, despite everything, she would do it all over again. What we explore in this episode: (08:35) The breast cancer diagnosis that came three months after her daughter was born (10:03) Emergency brain surgery: waking up with 30 staples and a walnut-sized tumor (27:32) The rare diagnosis Kiley received with a three-month prognosis (35:07) The immunotherapy that changed everything and has given Kiley two and a half years cancer free (40:11) A second breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 and six years of continuous treatment (52:12) How Kiley grieves the person she was before cancer Connect with Kiley:  @kdurham_artanddesign on Instagram  Website Breast Cancer Alliance Cycle for Survival Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Wed, 11 Mar 2026 13:15:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter "We don't have control of the number of days we are on this planet.

Being on the other side of that — just knowing that I can get out of bed — is a gift." - Laura Behnke Laura Behnke is an advocate, speaker, journalist, and the creator of Life Actually — a community built around the life you actually have, not the one you planned. After 16 years in TV as a sports reporter, Laura left the industry carrying a secret: she had never been in a relationship. At 35, she met her now-husband, and assumed the hard part was finally over… Amid the pandemic and at 40 years old, Laura and her husband began IVF — navigating three failed rounds before their one embryo became their daughter. Seven months into motherhood, Laura went to a surgeon's office expecting to remove a hemorrhoid. Instead, she was diagnosed with Stage 3B rectal cancer. In this deeply honest conversation, Laura shares what it means to survive layered loss, how she ignored rectal bleeding for over a year while pregnant and postpartum, and why she is now one of the most important voices in colorectal cancer awareness for young women.  What we explore in this episode: (01:02) Why a "boring" day is now Laura's greatest gift  (06:58) Her first relationship at 35 and the shame she carried for years  (15:52) Layered grief: losing both fathers within months of each other  (20:34) The one and only embryo that became their daughter  (24:53) The rectal bleeding she ignored — and what it turned out to be  (31:03) The colonoscopy that changed everything  (37:41) Stage 3B rectal cancer with a seven-month-old at home  (41:44) Radiation, chemo, surgery, and her husband's unforgettable words  (49:50) What every woman needs to know about colorectal cancer right now  (54:39) Why colonoscopies are life-saving and what to do before your next bathroom visit  (58:11) How a cancer diagnosis redefined success, work, and being present  Connect with Laura: @LauraBBehnke on IG Life Actually Substack The Life Actually podcast Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Tue, 03 Mar 2026 13:16:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter "When you're going through something really hard, it's so easy to feel like that is just going to be the way it is for the rest of your life, forever and ever.

She is known for integrating her clinical expertise with motivational speaking and coaching, as well as her advocacy for infertility awareness. As a first-generation American raised in a traditional Southeast Asian household, Flora navigated the cultural pressures of checking every box: getting good grades, becoming successful, getting married, having kids, and living happily ever after… only to discover that life doesn't work that way and it was a recipe for burnout. In this deeply personal conversation, Flora opens up about her journey through secondary infertility, the shame and self-blame that came with it, and how mindset coaching transformed not just her approach to fertility treatments but her entire life philosophy. After multiple IVF rounds, transfers, and pregnancy losses, Flora and her husband made the difficult decision to remain a family of three, not out of defeat, but from a place of clarity and peace. Flora shares how approaching this heartbreaking decision logically rather than emotionally gave her the freedom to move forward, and how it inspired her to support other women navigating burnout and perfectionism.

They’re in charge.’ But when we are an adult, we realize, “Actually, no, we're in the driver's seat.’ Your inner child can sit in the passenger seat and you say to yourself, ‘You can chill.

Ginni shared with me how the misunderstandings and judgment around mental illness have affected her and her family’s lives, the lack of protection around her that led to deep trauma, and why she believes so deeply now in the power of setting boundaries.

And you really try to figure out what works. And what started to work for me was  being myself,  Lydia Fenet is a two-time author, podcast host of Claim your Confidence, and the founder and CEO of the Lydia Fenet Agency, a boutique agency representing best-in-class charity auctioneers. Over her two-decade-long career, Lydia served as the Global Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships for Christie’s and reshaped the fundraising landscape as the world’s leading charity auctioneer. She has single-handedly raised over one billion dollars for more than 800 organizations and broken-down countless barriers for women in the auction industry, and all over the world by educating women on how to claim their confidence. As a 24-year-old working for the world-famous Christie’s auction house, Lydia was given the chance of a lifetime to try out to be an auctioneer—a field that was completely male-dominated. After climbing the ranks and becoming the head of Christie’s auctioneering program, she had an “a-ha” moment that completely changed her career trajectory.  Lydia shared her best advice for anyone suffering from a fear of public speaking, how she stays present, the power of our words, and finding fun in failure. Lydia and I discussed how her career inspired her to claim her own confidence and inspire others through her words in her latest book, Claim Your Confidence.  Lydia also shared deeply about the harrowing car accident that she experienced with her family which changed her life and her outlook on it.  What we explore in this episode:  Lydia’s strategy for immediately commanding the attention of a room (05:17) Showing up and being your authentic self (06:35) Auctioning Bruce Springsteen’s guitar with him on stage at Madison Square Garden (14:47) Why it’s all about the  delivery of your words  (24:35) How Lydia and her family miraculously survived a near-fatal car accident and live life differently(43:23) Connect with Lydia: LydiaFenet.com  @LydiaFenet Buy the book: Claim Your Confidence by Lydia Fenet Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter I always say, being an auctioneer is not dissimilar to stand-up, you just kind of get beaten up by the crowd, until the point where you almost create this Teflon skin.

]]> 5146 Autoimmune Infertility to Inspired with Caryn Johnson “I feel that personally, I had to go through these deep, deep levels of [loss] so that I could help people in the future from having to do that… A lot of what I went through was with purpose, which helps on the other side of it.”  Caryn Johnson is the co-founder and CEO of Bond, an innovative line of supplements that reimagines hormone and reproductive health. Inspired by her experience with her autoimmune fertility and her journey to bring her two children into the world, Caryn is on a mission to address women's health more holistically, and encourage a more proactive conversation around reproductive wellness. When Caryn began her conception journey as a newlywed, she had no idea what a life-changing experience it would be. After a year of trying to conceive without a single positive test and subsequent unsuccessful fertility treatments, Caryn began to explore the idea that her struggle getting pregnant went beyond just her reproductive organs. Frustrated and confused, Caryn took charge of her situation and became her own advocate, eventually learning that her infertility was actually caused by her immunocompromisation.  Caryn and I talked about the difficulty she had getting her doctors to take her concerns seriously, how her spiritual beliefs helped her cope with loss, and how she eventually found answers by working with doctors at a reproductive immunology clinic. We also discussed the harrowing and miraculous pregnancy that gave Caryn her son and her experience of having a surrogate carry her daughter. What we explore in this episode:  Caryn discovered that she was immunocompromised after struggling with infertility and early loss (03:59) Becoming your own advocate (06:07) The shift that discovering infertility causes in your life (11:37) How Caryn dealt with her career during her fertility journey (24:25) The anxious, uncertain feelings we experience during a pregnancy after loss (27:41) Caryn’s infertility experience directly inspired the creation of BOND (38:34) Connect with Caryn: @_bondlife @itswhoopi Bond Supplements LinkedIn Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn Wed, 27 Mar 2024 10:00:00 -0000 full Nathalie Carpenter “I feel that personally, I had to go through these deep, deep levels of [loss] so that I could help people in the future from having to do that… A lot of what I went through was with purpose, which helps on the other side of it.”  Caryn Johnson is the co-founder and CEO of Bond, an innovative line of supplements that reimagines hormone and reproductive health.

She's the CEO of Roshan Pharmaceuticals and the creator of Webby honored #5SmartReads, a daily news curation shared on Instagram stories and on a weekly newsletter.

As Hitha shared, she refuses to be put into a box that only captures one part of her personality to put others at ease.  Hitha and I talked about the American healthcare system, the importance of including varied ethnicities in clinical trials, why mothers make the best employees, reading rabbit holes and how it led to the creation of 5 smart reads, and authoring books including “We’re Speaking: The Life Lessons of Kamala Harris”, and “How to Pack: Travel Smart for Any Trip”.  We also discussed the impact of pregnancy and postpartum on mental health, and confronting the stigma of mental health challenges including a recent diagnosis with bipolar two.  What we explore in this episode:  If you're going to build a business based on yourself, think about what is something that you could sell and name it accordingly (09:24) Why Hitha is so intentional about calling herself a multi-hyphenate (14:42) The joys and challenges of building a family business (17:07) Hitha’s experience with a hysterectomy and how it affected her in unexpected ways (25:00) The correlation between fluctuating hormones during pregnancy and postpartum and mental health (30:00) Hitha’s mindful approach to hiring women (41:56) Hitha’s current book recommendations (53:31) In America, we don't have a health care system—we have a disease management system (59:35) Connect with Aliza: Instagram LinkedIn Books by Hitha Palepu Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com Instagram  LinkedIn Thu, 14 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0000 Unboxed: Hitha Palepu the Intentional Multi-Hyphenate full Nathalie Carpenter “If someone can't imagine that one woman could do all the things, then that's a lack of imagination on their part, not a lack of competency on mine.” Hitha Palepu is a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, investor, author, content creator, and mother.

]]> 3575 Accidental Activist, Aliza Licht Leaves Her Mark “I've always found success by sticking to who I am as a person and applying that in different directions.” Aliza Licht is an award-winning marketer and author of the books On Brand and Leave Your Mark. She is also a consultant, host of the Leave Your Mark podcast, and she has recently found space as a Jewish activist in the face of the staggering rise in antisemitism. Once upon a time, Aliza was the Gossip Girl-inspired anonymous face of Donna Karan’s DKNY brand Twitter persona. By the end of her tenure, she found herself with what she calls “last name syndrome”—she was no longer Aliza Licht, she was “Aliza from DKNY.” But once she realized how to reclaim her own identity, she became an expert at creating authentic branding for herself and others. Aliza and I talked about how important it is not to become so entrenched in a brand that you lose your own identity, the importance of lifting up others as you climb, and why personal branding is so important for everyone.

]]> 2024 Dishing Up Food Advocacy with Chef Michel Nischan “When you're a chef, you know that what you're doing is going to have a profound impact on the people that you are feeding. I'm always very aware of that.” - Chef Michel Nischan  When Michel’s older son was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, he realized he had to change the way he fed his family, which soon led to him changing the way he fed the customers in his restaurant.

That same community also helps her now as she faces the mental health struggles that come with infertility and lack of control in the face of it.

Today, I sit down with Adriana and she shares advice for parents of bullied children, how bullying and infertility are connected, different ways a woman can be a mother, and so much more.

  • What Adriana would do and not do all over again (4:33)
