The Balancing Act by Nedra Tawab Glover 

Secure Love by Julia Menanno 

Last fall, an article in The Cut entitled “The Women Quietly Quitting Their Husbands” went viral, putting words to something many women around the country have been quietly experiencing. The article focused on the phenomena of women in their 40’s who have emotionally detached from their marriages but have chosen to stay rather than go through the drama, expense and ordeal of a divorce. In this episode Oprah sits down with Monica Corcoran Harel the journalist who wrote the article, Nedra Glover Tawwab author of The Balancing Act and Julie Menanno author of Secure Love to discuss why many women are choosing to stay in their marriages despite being unhappy or unfulfilled.

"Death Is But a Dream" by Dr. Christopher Kerr

https://amzn.to/4fHtrmv

Oprah is joined by neurologist and hospice physician Dr. Chris Kerr to explore the mysterious phenomenon of end-of-life visitations. Through decades of research and his life-affirming book Death Is But a Dream Dr. Kerr’s work has sparked a profound paradigm shift reframing so-called “deathbed dreams” as very real end-of-life experiences. Dr. Kerr and his team have conducted more than 1,500 interviews with fully lucid patients nearing life’s end. Again and again patients describe vivid encounters with deceased loved ones that feel not dream-like, but strikingly real. Those who appear are often the people they loved most deeply—the ones who mattered most in their lives. In this episode you'll also hear from a woman whose mother experienced an “end-of-life awakening”—a phenomenon known as terminal lucidity, in which a dying person temporarily regains mental clarity and awareness, often using those precious final moments to say goodbye to loved ones.

One of her guests Oprah has never forgotten was an 11-year-old girl named Kate who had recently lost her mother to cancer. In a conversation that touched millions Kate shared one of the many memories she treasured most was a special night when she and her mom sat together eating a bowl of Cheerios.
