Get to know me and my perspective. From Dr. Phil to Anderson Cooper on CNN.

Dr. Phil. 02/2023

A national conversation with Dr. Phil about the growing trend of self-marriage as a symbol and ceremony of healing, self-acceptance and self-love.

I have been following the self-marriage trend for 20 years as an author and coach, have married myself and helped others do the same.

I wasn’t sure if I should have accepted the invitation to appear on Dr. Phil as a guest expert. I’m still not sure. Stay tuned for a blog post where I will share the whole experience. SIgn up for the newsletter to get it if you haven’t already!

Anderson Cooper, CNN. 01/2004

When my book Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics first came out in January 2004, I appeared on CNN and chatted with Anderson Cooper. He was a little bit rude. “What’s the difference between being single and being quirkyalone?” he asked. I answered.

TeleNoche, 04/2019 

That time when I brought self-marriage to Argentina. TeleNoche is the biggest news program in Buenos Aires and the topic subsequently went viral in Latin America. In Spanish, but so fun you should watch even if you don’t understand all the words.

This interview was shot in 2019 while I was living in Buenos Aires.

Vogue. 10/2017

An interview with me in Vogue about “Why Women Are Choosing to Marry Themselves.”

Wall Street Journal. 12/2011

My perspective featured in the Wall Street Journal about how to write a better to-do list, based on my research for my book To-Do List and my coaching practice.

Illinois Public Media/NPR. 2/2013.

Illinois Public Radio (part of NPR) did this long-form call-in interview with me on Quirkyalone Day 2013. You may think of  February 14 as Valentine’s Day. Quirkyalone Day is an alternative that I created in 2003 and that has been celebrated around the world to celebrate all forms of love. This is a lively conversation about celebrating February 14 differently.

NPR/Talk of the Nation. 12/2007

That time I was the featured guest on “Talk of the Nation”… “From grocery lists to New Year’s resolutions, personal lists are snapshots of current activity, future planning and past accomplishment. Sasha Cagen talks about her new book, To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding a Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us.”

Irish Times. 08/2017.

Writer Alana Kirk from Dublin traveled to Buenos Aires to learn tango with me and my team. I shared my insights on the power of connecting with our sensuality with her in this piece in the Irish Times, “How to Find Your Inner Goddess.”

“I see that the moment a woman connects to her body by connecting with her sensuality she has a new source of groundedness, power, and intuition. She taps into her natural goddess energy without makeup, high heels, or a new outfit. It’s available at any age. When you walk or stand connected to yourself, you create a different vibration. You feel different and people feel you differently.”–Sasha Cagen
