Everyone can name a teacher who had an impact on their life. Educators not only open our minds to new ideas, but they also help us recognize our potential and our passions. However, rarely do they get credit for the life-changing work they do, and often teachers have no idea how their work can influence a student all the way into adulthood.
In Lessons Learned and Cherished: The Teacher Who Changed My Life, award-winning ABC journalist Deborah Roberts curates a collection of essays and musings from celebrity friends and colleagues alike that share how teachers changed them, imparted life lessons, and helped them get to where they are today.
Books are available for pre-order here and the on-sale date is May 2nd, 2023.

Nicole de Moulpied Releases “Still a Snack” — A Bold Midlife Glow-Up Guide That Refuses to Play by the Rules
There’s a moment—usually somewhere in your 40s or 50s—where the world quietly expects you to fade into the background. Nicole de Moulpied just wrote a book that flat-out refuses to let that happen.

Her new release, Still a Snack: Your Mid Life Glow Up Guide, isn’t subtle about what it’s here to do. It’s part mindset reset, part fitness plan, part skincare strategy—and all attitude. The message is simple: you don’t age out of feeling confident, attractive, or powerful. If anything, you double down.
Right from the jump, de Moulpied makes it clear this isn’t about “aging gracefully” in the traditional, watered-down sense. It’s about reclaiming control—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and doing it with a little swagger. As she puts it, this is your “permission slip” to invest in yourself again, without apology .
The book is structured like a no-BS playbook for reinvention. It walks readers through:
- A mindset reboot that shuts down the inner critic and replaces it with something a lot more supportive (and a lot more fun)
- A simple, sustainable fitness routine built around daily movement and consistency—not complicated gym culture
- A nutrition strategy that prioritizes energy, glow, and real-life enjoyment instead of restrictive dieting
- A streamlined skincare system focused on proven results, not influencer hype
What makes Still a Snack hit differently is the tone. It’s honest, a little irreverent, and completely unfiltered. De Moulpied doesn’t pretend perfection—she talks about overwhelm, mixed messages around aging, and the pressure women feel to either “try too hard” or “not try at all.” Then she cuts through all of it.

The takeaway? You get to decide.
And she backs it up with real, practical structure. Daily walks. Five-minute abs. Simple food swaps. Core skincare essentials. Nothing bloated, nothing unrealistic—just systems that actually stick.
There’s also an underlying strategy that’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention: while the book is framed as a “glow-up,” it’s quietly building long-term health habits underneath it. Look better, feel better—but also live better.
That balance is what makes this more than just another lifestyle book.
Still a Snack isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about owning where you are—and making it work for you in the most unapologetic way possible.
The book is available now. And if you’ve been waiting for a sign to get your edge back… this is probably it.
