#234: The Fall Planning Method That Helped Me Slow Down
Aug 13, 202615 minS6
This year I realized I didn't need to plan August through December all at once. By breaking fall into just seven weeks, from my kids back to school through fall break, everything felt lighter, more manageable, and—surprisingly—more content. Plus, how that mindset is helping me enjoy the season without buying more. Send us Fan Mail www.daraboxer.com
This week on The Raw and the Cooked , I'm sharing my completely accidental Lily King reading binge. After walking past Heart the Lover at the library for over a year, I finally picked it up—assuming it was a light rom-com (I was very, very wrong). Less than 24 hours later, I had finished it, given it five stars, and immediately downloaded Writers & Lovers . A few days later, I picked up Five Tuesdays in Winter ... and suddenly I'd read three Lily King books in a single week. In this episode, I share what made these stories so captivating, why Heart the Lover has become one of my favorite reads of the year, my thoughts on Writers & Lovers and Five Tuesdays in Winter , and why discovering a new favorite author is one of the greatest joys of being a reader. If you've been looking for your next literary fiction read, this one's for you.

Jul 30, 202624 minS6
Our fourth baby turns two very soon, and I can finally come up for air, now that the dust has settled in the transition from three to four children. So I figured, today I'd share the sequel to the episode I recorded, back when I only had three children: Episode #82: Going from 1 to 2 to 3 and More | What the Transition Was Like After Each Baby.

#230: Is Abby Jiminez the New Queen of a Summer Rom-Com?
Jul 16, 202610 minS6
Looking for the perfect summer read? ☀️📚 In this episode, I'm sharing why Abby Jimenez has become my go-to romance author. After finishing Say You'll Remember Me , I realized I've loved every one of her novels I've picked up—a rare feat these days. I compare her books with two other authors I've loved, Emily Henry and Katherine Center, and talk about what happens when a favorite author's formula starts to feel a little too familiar. We chat about Beach Read , People We Meet on Vacation , Happy Place , Funny Story , Great Big Beautiful Life , Things You Save in a Fire , How to Walk Away , The Bodyguard , Hello Stranger , Part of Your World , Yours Truly , Just for the Summer , and Say You'll Remember Me . Plus, I share the surprising fact I learned about Abby Jimenez after finishing her latest novel and why I think her books continue to stand out in a crowded rom-com genre. If you're looking for your next beach read—or just love talking books—I think you'll enjoy this one. Send us Fan Mail www.daraboxer.com

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
