• Abby Siegel ’23: Grit, Gratitude, and Getting into Med School!

  From Miami roots to navigating snow boots and shutdowns, Abby Siegel (’23) shares her story of flexibility, friendship, and finding her stride at Cornell—despite a freshman year no one could have predicted. In this episode, Abby takes us through her transition from sunny South Florida to icy Ithaca, the sudden arrival of COVID during her first spring, and how she found meaning, connection, and unexpected joy in the years that followed. She’s thoughtful, funny, and on her way to medical school after winning a top award from Cornell Human Ecology. Plus, we put her future MD skills to the test in a game about beloved 1970s medicines.Find Abby on LinkedIn: Abby SiegelNot sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

• Brains, Balance, and Big Impact: Meet Dana Gershon!

  We just spent an hour with Dana Gershon and have one major regret: that we didn’t know her in college. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel smarter just by listening to her—and happier just by being around her (even over Zoom). A powerhouse attorney, mom of four, marathon runner (x4), and immediate past president of NCJW, Dana has done it all—and somehow makes it look effortless. She’s brilliant, warm, and wildly accomplished, but still totally down-to-earth. We left this conversation inspired, impressed, and maybe a little obsessed.P.S. The only “B” we left out of the episode title is for Balch — and you’re going to love that story.LinkedIn: Dana GershonNational Council of Jewish Women:https://www.ncjw.org/Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

• Laurie Yarnell Writes What We’re All Thinking

  She met her husband on day two, got tear-gassed in Collegetown, and now she writes the stuff everyone’s hoping someone is brave enough to publish. She is.Journalist and essayist Laurie Yarnell joins us to talk about her Cornell roots, the art of freelancing for Good Housekeeping and HuffPost, and why some stories—second marriages, senior sex, and nosy neighbors—need to be written. Thankfully she counseled herself out of counseling and into so many publications we all love to read.She's incredibly fun and so kind that it was difficult to get any pet peeves out of her. We did.Shout out to Buddy and Georgia - tune in to find out who they are.Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University.
