This month on the Well Woman Show, I interview Laura Paskus, a longtime environment reporter based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Currently, she is the environment reporter for New Mexico PBS, and produces the monthly series, “Our Land: New Mexico’s Environmental Past, Present, and Future.” Laura Paskus has tracked the issues of climate change at both the state and federal levels. She shares the frightening truth, both in terms of what is happening in nature and what is not happening to counteract the mounting crisis. Her book “At the Precipice: New Mexico’s Changing Climate,” was published in September 2020 by the University of New Mexico Press.
On the show we’ll discuss:
- The need for activism in journalism and finding success in a second career
- The frightening truth about climate change
- What we can do to help shape the future of our climate
The books she recommended were:
Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Rojas Contreras
An American Sunrise by Joy Harjo
Outermost House by Henry Beston

Today on the Well Woman Show, I interview Celeste Headlee.
She is an award-winning journalist, professional speaker and author of “We Need To Talk: How To Have Conversations That Matter,” and “Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.”
A self-described “light-skinned Black Jew,” Headlee has been forced to speak about race—including having to defend or define her own—since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she’s made it a priority to talk about race proactively.
An expert in conversation, human nature, reclaiming common humanity and finding well-being, she frequently provides insight on what is good for all humans and what is bad for us, focusing the best research in neuro and social science to increase understanding of how we relate with one another and can work together in beneficial ways in our workplaces, neighborhoods, communities and homes. Her upcoming book “Speaking of Race” is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us.
On the show we’ll discuss:
1. Why it is important to have meaningful conversations about difficult topics like race.
2. The critical role of empathy in our lives and conversations.
3. How to have conversations about race and other difficult subjects that can actually bring us closer together.
