Bonjour! Welcome to the 124th edition of the Hip Tranquil Chick podcast: a guide to life on and off the yoga mat.

Today’s menu features a must-have pose in On the Mat, exploring the Slash Effect with Marci Alboher in Off the Mat, and we’ve got Omwork and Savvy Sources for you too. View our shownotes at hiptranquilchick.com/blog.

Off the Mat:
Marci Alboher is a columnist and blogger for The New York Times. Her recently released book, One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success (Warner Books, February 2007), popularized the term “slash” to refer to a new breed of individuals who can’t answer, “What do you do?” with a single response. The book and Marci’s career insights have been featured throughout the media including the Today Show, MSNBC, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek Magazine, National Public Radio, USA Today, The Boston Globe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Kansas City Star.

Marci is herself a slash. The author/journalist/speaker began her career in law after graduating from The University of Pennsylvania and American University’s Washington College of Law. After nearly ten years of practice, she used her law background as a springboard to a second career as a journalist.

Her articles have appeared in numerous national publications including: Time Out New York, Travel and Leisure, Marie Claire, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and Legal Affairs, covering such topics as workplace issues, entrepreneurship and travel. A regular contributor to The New York Times since 2001, she currently writes the Shifting Careers column and blog.

A popular teacher at the New York Writers Workshop, where she sits on the executive committee, Marci helps novices break into journalism and coaches a select group of experienced nonfiction writers to the next level. Marci is also a sought-after speaker on workplace trends, career advice, and writing.

Marci lives in New York City with her beau, Jay, an entrepreneur/designer.

Omwork: To encourage a sense of diving deeper into today’s podcast, I will post Omwork relating to this segment on our HTC forum. Please connect with fellow HTCs there and play with the following:

1. What are your various slashes?
2. How do you blend your numerous interests?
3. How can you incorporate the teacher, speaker, consultant, and writer titles into what you do?
