A Thank You 🙏🏻 A Tease 🤔… and Something Special Ahead 🎉
Hi Reader! As we close out another year of pitching, posting, recording, refining, second-guessing, and then showing up anyway… I just want to say thank you. This community means more to me than you know. Every email you send, every message you share, every small win you celebrate reminds me why I love helping media-makers find their voices and use them well. This world we work in isn’t always easy. It can feel crowded, noisy, and sometimes discouraging. But when you have a place where people...
READ POSTPacked to the Brim (Yes, I’m an Over-Packer!)
Hi Reader! As we wrap up this year, I want to take a moment to wish you good health, happiness, and everything you wish for yourself in the year ahead. I don’t usually talk about politics, and I won’t start now, but it’s impossible not to notice how chaotic our world can feel lately. All the more reason to take care of ourselves ... gently, realistically, and in ways that still leave room for joy. That’s always been my goal with this newsletter… to be a trusted place where you can find...
READ POSTYou’re a Big Part of My Thanksgiving Gratitude
Hi Reader! This time of year always brings gratitude into sharper focus. It reminds me how important it is to notice the things that support us daily — the meals we enjoy, the people who ground us, and the small habits that make us feel our best. I try to carry that spirit of appreciation throughout the year. And today, I want to say how sincerely grateful I am for you. Your trust, your time, and your interest in what I share mean more than you know. Today's issue brings you stories about...
READ POSTThe moment that changed everything (and I almost missed it)
Hi Reader! You know those moments that change everything, but you only realize it after they’ve happened?That’s how my media training business began. Years ago, a fellow dietitian reached out before her very first TV appearance. She had thousands of followers on Instagram, a brand-new book, and absolutely no clue what to do once those studio lights went on. She was nervous.She was excited.And she wanted to make sure she didn’t waste her big break. We spent time walking through everything,...
READ POSTHow I Handle Heat...in the Kitchen + in the Media
Hi Reader! This month has been a mix of pinch-me moments and powerful reminders of why I love this work so much. First, some big news: I’m officially a contributor to EatingWell magazine! 🥳 This one feels especially full-circle since I’ve loved the magazine for years (and I'm quoted in it many times). It’s a reminder that media relationships can grow in unexpected, and incredibly rewarding, ways when you keep showing up and adding value. Bonnie's Bites shows how a last-minute food demo...
READ POSTStay Strong. Stay Sharp. Stay Seen.
Hi Reader! If it feels like “longevity” is the new buzzword, you’re not wrong. Everyone seems to be talking about how to live longer… but I think the real magic is in figuring out how to live better while we’re here. And you know me, I’m all in on diet playing such a critical role in how long we live and how well we live. But that’s not the whole story. Exercise, muscle maintenance, and even the work we do (and how we show up doing it) all matter just as much when it comes to living a long,...
READ POSTYour biggest media struggles — revealed
Hi Reader! I recently asked you to share your biggest challenges and wishes when it comes to working with media, and while I may not have gotten hundreds of responses, the ones I did get were pure gold. What I heard loud and clear: You want to be the expert the media comes to, not constantly chase opportunities. You want confidence — to pitch, to follow through, to put yourself out there. You want clarity — on how to position yourself, frame your insights, and stand out from the crowd. And...
READ POST8 Types of Weight Loss Diets Explained
Hi Reader! I know it’s been a minute… but sometimes stepping away is exactly what we need to reconnect, right? This summer I unplugged a bit, traded screens for sand, and spent time with my family on a truly soul-filling trip. Check my Instagram @bonnietaubdix some vacation pix But now I’m back, and ready to bring you a dose of insight, inspiration, and a little myth-busting, too. But before we dive in… how have you been? I’d love to know what you’re working on, what you’re learning, or even...
READ POSTHow to Be Relevant—Even Off Camera
Hi Reader! Let me guess…You’ve been scrolling through social media, watching others post wins, go viral, land book deals or TV spots—and that little voice whispers: “Am I even relevant anymore?” If that hits close to home, I see you. And you’re not alone. Here’s the truth: relevance isn’t about being everywhere—it’s about being where it matters. You don’t need to dance on Reels or chase every trend. You need clarity, consistency, and the courage to show up in a way that’s aligned with you. In...
