In her interview with Oprah at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater, activist, producer and Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek Pinault reveals why she published her personal essay in The New York Times titled "Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too." Salma opens up about the emotional abuse she suffered during the making of her Oscar-winning film, "Frida,"and other sexual harassment she has endured during her life. Salma also discusses her spiritual approach to aging, her commitment of 20-plus years to fight for women's rights, and her struggle with depression. Salma says, "The mystery of life, to me, is the relationship with you and you. As long as you need others to feel comfortable, you will always suffer from anxiety. You are alone in life, and it's a beautiful place to be if you make peace with yourself." In this special-edition podcast, you'll hear Oprah and Salma's full interview, featuring more than 15 minutes of bonus content not included in Part 1 of the OWN special "Oprah at the Apollo."

On this episode of SheerLuxe Conversations, Charlotte Collins is joined by two legends of the fashion and media world: Laura Brown and Kristina O'Neill – former top editors turned authors of ‘All The Cool Girls Get Fired'. Together they unpack what really happens when you lose your job – from the shock and shame to the surprising freedom on the other side. They share their own stories of being fired from huge roles in New York publishing, why “fired” is the word we should be using and how owning it publicly (yes, even on Instagram) is the quickest way to move forward. The trio also dive into standout stories from the book – including from the likes of Oprah, Lisa Kudrow, Tarana Burke and Carol Burnett – plus, the practical stuff no one teaches you: money, identity, LinkedIn, healthcare and how to rebuild confidence when your career rug is pulled out from under you. They also talk about the changing media landscape, personal brands and why a set-back can genuinely be a set-up.All The Cool Girls Get Fired | https://amzn.to/49SuhvhSubscribe For More | http://bit.ly/2VmqduQ Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signup Hosted on Acast.

Watch on YouTube → What does it take to transform your life from inside a prison cell? Shaka Senghor spent 19 years in prison, seven in solitary confinement for a murder he committed at 19. Instead of letting it destroy him, he turned his cell into a university, wrote four books, and discovered a purpose that would change everything. In this raw conversation, Shaka takes us from running away at 14 and being seduced into the drug trade, to the night he pulled the trigger that changed his life forever. He shares what solitary confinement really does to the human mind, the two letters that transformed him (one from his son, another from his victim's godmother offering forgiveness), and the unflinching truth about what's broken in America's criminal justice system. We also discuss his brother's murder in 2021, fatherhood, and the hidden prisons we all carry. Shaka Senghor is a New York Times bestselling author ("Writing My Wrongs," "How to Be Free"), criminal justice reform advocate, and former fellow at MIT. Since his release in 2010, he's spoken on stages from TED to Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, advised presidents and corporations, and become one of the most powerful voices on redemption and second chances in America. This conversation challenges everything you think you know about crime, punishment, and whether people can truly change. His message: “Never settle for mediocrity when greatness is available.” His books include: Newest release → How to Be Free: A Proven Guide to Escaping Life's Hidden Prisons Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison Letters to the Sons of Society Book Recommendations from Shaka: "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou "Atomic Habits" by James Clear Organizations Mentioned: Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) Syncopated Ladies (Chloe and Maud Arnold) CHAPTERS: 00:00 Trailer 00:59 Meet Tim Green 01:35 Introducing Shaka Senor 02:30 The Power to Change Your Life 04:38 The Need for Safety 06:43 The Path from Abuse to the Streets 11:58 The Impact of Gun Violence 15:54 Inside Solitary Confinement 18:59 The Journey of Self-Improvement 21:30 The Road to Redemption 32:46 The Power of Forgiveness 33:26 The Three Miracles and Mentorship 34:03 A Father's Turning Point 34:47 The Power of Writing in Prison 36:37 Feedback and Growth as a Writer 37:59 Exploring Faith and Spirituality 40:57 Conversations with My Sons 44:05 Reforming the Incarceration System 52:20 Personal Reflections and Achievements 59:39 Final Thoughts and Recommendations 01:01:02 Rapid Fire Questions SPONSORS: ElevenLabs: Thanks to ElevenLabs (https://elevenlabs.io) for supporting this episode and powering Tim's voice.

We speak about: The conversation around emotional safety, mental health and boundaries has changed What was once taboo (cutting ties with parents) is now being discussed openly — especially by our generations There doesn’t seem to be a line in the sand for what is and what is not ‘valid’ for going no contact Why family are the only people we are ‘willing’ to accept bad behaviour from Have we gone too far with ‘boundary’ talk/ don’t have enough grace for our parents?

The cozy, magical season is here! Leggings, sweaters, cookies, hibernation mode. But this can also become the season where we disconnect from our bodies without even realizing it.In this episode, I'm sharing a truth we don't talk about enough:✨ The longer you hide in leggings and oversized sweatshirts, the longer you stay in denial about where you really are physically and emotionally. ✨ Getting dressed, putting on makeup, and wearing a real outfit isn't about vanity… it's about awareness, identity, and showing up for yourself. ✨ And what I don't want is for you to “wake up” in spring only to realize nothing fits and you don't recognize yourself.Let's talk about how you can stay connected, confident, and present with yourself even during cozy season so you don't lose yourself in the process.

They might look like ordinary women as they Instacart from Bristol Farms or strengthen their core at morning pilates. You might be standing behind them in line at Starbucks as they order their half-cream, half-caff, no whip, no foam, triple-pump chai latte with oat milk. They seem to be everywhere once you know how to recognize them. They're the target demographic for Audible's Bestsellers list. They account for the bulk of spending on sites like Amazon and Skims. Ever wonder how it is that Goop still stays in business? They live in the Hamptons, Brentwood, or Malibu. They're married to talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel. Or they're married to themselves. They're having Thanksgiving in a gated community in Montecito. They're cloning duplicates who parrot the talking points of the coven like abortion is healthcare and no human is illegal, and trans women are women. They've taught them to be strident, demanding, and intolerant with standards too high for any man, job, or country to meet. Their world before was idyllic - a utopia that kept them at the top because they ordered this new world in such a way that nothing and no one threatened their power. The future is female. It's time for women to rule. White Dudes for Harris. They call it the Great Feminization, but really, it's a coven of witches.Just before Charlie Kirk's assassination, Jezebel and Etsy cast a dark spell on Charlie. Why? Because they couldn't shut him up. In their world, they decide what people can and can't say, think, buy, or do. They've taken down the “story,” but it still exists on the Wayback Machine:These days, witches cater to more than just personal grudges. And it's not uncommon for them to channel their energy toward thwarting Republicans (there's even a subreddit devoted to casting nightly hexes on Trump). Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he's shouted at America's youth and anyone within earshot? Here at Jezebel, we're about to find out if there's a spell for that.And:After placing my first spell, “MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM,” I was left with more questions than answers. How long would it take to kick in? Should I have splurged for a pricier spell to make it work faster? Shortly after, the witch messaged me trying to upsell me a $50 “spell booster.” When I asked what it did, she explained it would “amplify the energetic support” of the main spell, or else I could let it unfold “in its natural timing.” I decided to trust the witch's will.And her closing paragraph:Sunday, August 24, passed. Nothing. Monday, still nothing. Tuesday rolled around, and I began to wonder if I'd been scammed. But then I reminded myself: this is witchcraft, not Amazon. The forces operate on their own schedule.Megyn Kelly reported exclusively on how this affected Erika Kirk after Charlie was assassinated, leaving behind two small children and a widespread movement that touched millions:What bothers them so much about Erika Kirk, other than that she is brave, kind, beautiful, and true, is what I once believed about the Christian Right. I'd never be able to live like that, I always thought. Then I saw what happened to the Left, to all of us, without religion. Now, we are a movement that believes it's okay to sterilize children and mutilate their bodies without their consent. We treat abortion like it's an act of empowerment.Erika Kirk put her faith in God and in her husband. These are mortal sins to the Wicked Witches of the Left. Thou shalt have no God before ourselves. We are the power because we are empowered. But unfortunately, it has resulted in a movement ruled by and defined by evil and hatred. Jennifer Welch, a prominent Wicked Witch of the Left who podcasts alongside a Renfield-like puppet whose name no one knows but who nods along numbly as Welch spits out her invective - “I call him Canks,” she says about Trump after her “Cankles McTaco Tits” went viral. These are the same people who pearl clutch over Trump calling a reporter “Piggy.” Bill Madden and Marco Foster are two of the feminized men dominated by the witches. They do nothing but post the ugliest things all day long on social media. They have found their perfect voice now in Jennifer Welch.Here is Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi on Jennifer Welch:After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the witches and their compliant male counterparts decided it was more than justified to celebrate his death, to splash around in his blood like the Manson family after they hit the home of Sharon Tate. It didn't matter to them even a little bit, just as the near-assassination of Trump didn't matter. Even death didn't satiate the beast. Charlie's brutal assassination wasn't enough. They wanted — NEEDED — more. And so the witches convened once again, with Joy Reid, Jennifer Welch, and her sidekick, whose name no one will ever know or remember, to word-vomit about their perceived enemies. Megyn Kelly was having none of it:Even the Real Clear Politics gang had words (full video here):And here is Erika's response, the one Tom Bevan references:If the spell on Charlie Kirk was to “make everyone hate him,” then it failed. If it was to shut him up, it also failed. His message will carry on. He is more beloved today than he ever was in life. It turns out that love is harder to kill than even people. Love lives on in the hearts of all of us. It spreads. It unites us. It redeems us. Love was what hundreds of thousands expressed in the wake of Charlie's death and even now. Charlie's memory lives on in clips of his tiny daughter running into his arms. In how he told the story of meeting Erika:And how he explained Newton's laws to his baby.Or money matters:They believe those who do not agree with them must be gotten rid of, and nothing else will satisfy. They will use emotional blackmail, uniform caterwauling, non-stop whining and complaining, and all of the other ways women have learned over the millennia to drive society to the brink of madness, and none of it will work.Unfortunately for the Wicked Witches of the Left, their power is about as useful as their policies and their candidates. Limp, dull, flaccid.Women like I used to be and witches like they are tend to our needs and our fragility. For years, we treated ourselves to therapy, yoga, meditation, Oprah, de-aging, antidepressants, and keto.Eventually, when we fixed ourselves and attempted to raise our perfect children, we overprotected them. In the wake of Columbine and 911, everywhere we looked, we saw danger. We thought every man was a potential child molester. We worried about school shootings, we worried about microplastics and pollution. We thought we could protect our kids to raise them with high self-esteem, but we forgot about strength and resiliency.We abandoned that in ourselves, and we never taught it to our children.What I've learned coming out of this era is that you can't control the world. Even if, as women, as mothers, as wives, as business owners, we'd like to have complete control over everything because we believe we could create a perfect world, I eventually realized you can't. It's not possible. Trump came along because we needed to be reminded of what it is to survive things, events, tragedies, wars, and words. The answer is not to control everything and everyone. The answer is to be strong and just to survive.And that's why these women are now witches, huddled over their cauldron, chanting out that their spells will never succeed and never hold power. Because they can't survive. If they can't survive words, and they can't survive Trump, and they can't survive open debate and Charlie Kirk, then they most certainly can't be in charge of this country. All anyone had to do was listen to Charlie and hear what he had to say. If you disagreed, debate him. Yet, you can hear in their messaging who they thought he was, and this was the worst they could say about him, from Jezebel:A cornerstone of Kirk's nightmare ideology is his insistence that, since gaining more independence, Western women are more miserable than ever. He tells auditoriums full of young women that our freedom is a flaw, not an achievement. He's obsessed with declining birth rates and idealizes the 1950s, when women's only “job” was tending to children and husbands. If we all abandoned our careers and returned to motherhood, we'd be happier, according to Kirk. Indeed, he fails to realize that I would be happiest if he would just shut up.She could not offer up a stronger argument to the contrary because look at her. She is proof that he was right. She's miserable. Jennifer Welch is miserable. All of the witches are miserable. I was miserable too. I know what it is to live the feminist lie, and I know what it is to look back at my life with regret. How can they sell that to young women? The Jezebel writer consoled herself with a petition that was launched on the Utah campus that would become the site of Charlie's murder. The petition was launched on Friday, August 22, and had already been signed over 3,800 times. Could this be the “MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM” at work?”But the petition grew to 6,829, all of them in agreement that the university should prevent Charlie from speaking:Sign this petition to send a clear message that we stand united for a university that upholds the tenets of inclusivity, respect, and enlightenment. Let us work together to ensure that Utah State University remains a campus where all students feel safe, valued, and respected.Yeah, shutting him up by any means necessary sure sounds like “inclusivity, respect, and enlightenment” to me. Sounds more like the very definition of fascism, “conform or else.”These wicked witches and so much of the Left's once-mighty empire invented a version of Charlie Kirk that never existed and transformed him into a monster of their own making. They wanted to send a message to anyone who might think about disagreeing with them, on a college campus, no less. What are they teaching these kids? Not free speech or open debate.They invent monsters, chase those monsters, and then act shocked when loser nobodies pick up a gun and become their heroes. No, they aren't shocked. They are grateful. They should heed the wise words of Friedrich Nietzsche:Welcome to the abyss, Wicked Witches of the Left.//Tip JarMusic… This is a public episode.

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister. Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'? And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault? Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice. Holly, Amelia and Jessie get into it. AND into some Mamamia merch.

Megha Majumdar's A Burning came out in 2020. It was an instant NYT bestseller and was nominated for a number of prestigious awards, including the National Book Award, and was named one of the best books of that year by a number of media outlets. Her latest, A Guardian and a Thief, is enjoying perhaps even more success. It was a finalist for the National Book Award and was Oprah's pick for October. Like A Burning, A Guardian and a Thief is set in contemporary India (this one in the near-distant future). And, like A Burning, Megha allows us to fall in love with her characters and then puts them on a painful collision course. This time, the climate crisis has accelerated a famine in Calcutta which is forcing good people to act desperately and sometimes violently. Megha joins Marrie Stone to talk about it. They talk about structuring a “ticking timebomb novel,” and telling a story over the course of seven days. They discuss incorporating backstory without losing forward momentum, and how to make even minor characters full and rich portraits. And they talk about endings, the art of surprising inevitability, and striking the right emotional tone. She also shares her favorite current read: Loot by Tania James. All this and so much more ….

There's a good chance that you already know Tony from his work on Around the Horn, the primetime ESPN sports debate show that aired its final episode in May and that Tony hosted for nearly 5,000 episodes, a track record longer than Oprah's that began in 2004 when Tony, then just 25 years old, was called up as a temporary fill-in host the day after Super Bowl XXXVIII, which is remembered more for its halftime wardrobe malfunction than its game winning field goal. Rewatching this episode, I'm amazed by how natural Tony is at facilitating the debate between four seasoned sports journalists, bringing out their voices while still holding them accountable. It's the first day on the job that he's been dreaming of for 20 years and that he'll hold for 20 more. Fast forward to today, Tony is raising three young kids with his wife, Samiya, while also navigating a major midlife career transition. As he settles into a spot on my living room sofa, Tony reflects on the waters of the East River, visible from his home in Brooklyn, and the waters of the Hudson River visible from my home on the Upper West Side. These rivers, as my ten year old recently taught me, are both estuaries, bodies of water where the river's freshwater current meets the ocean's saltwater tide to create a surreal environment where the steady state is constant change - much like life itself. It's a poetic prelude to our conversation, which covers Tony's reflections on his career and the vision for what he's building; perspective and advice from his experiences with anxiety and grief; life-changing discovery of self-love; present moment where being intentional and celebrating the surreal go hand-in-hand; and what youth sports teaches our kids.I'm grateful to be sharing this conversation with you. Special thanks to Andrew, Dim Sum Dad, for introducing me to Tony.

Andrew Ross Sorkin has spent his career following the money to understand everything — from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, from media to AI. A journalist who never set out to be one, Sorkin built DealBook into the Super Bowl of business journalism, turning curiosity into empire-building. In Boardroom's October Cover Story, he shares how an overheard word such as “internet” landed him at The New York Times, how he approaches interviews like a tennis rally rather than a serve, and why Oprah remains his white whale. Through stories of Too Big to Fail, the 1929 crash, and the coming AI reckoning, Sorkin unpacks how narrative drives markets, crashes, and comebacks alike. From Elon Musk's many personas to the billion-dollar game of sports, streaming, and live entertainment, this is Andrew Ross Sorkin: journalist, storyteller, dealmaker — chasing what feels impossible, one conversation at a time.

The weight loss medication debate has taken a fascinating turn as public figures continue to grapple with the decision to use drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Oprah Winfrey, one of America's most influential personalities, has found herself at the center of this conversation, and her stance reveals the complex relationship many people have with these powerful pharmaceutical tools. For years, Oprah publicly resisted using Ozempic, stating that she felt taking the medication would be taking the easy way out. However, she later revealed that she had lost forty pounds using a weight loss medication, creating a significant shift in her public messaging that sparked considerable backlash from critics who pointed out this apparent contradiction to her earlier statements about the easy way out.The emergence of GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, has fundamentally changed how we think about weight management. These medications work by suppressing appetite while you are taking them and stabilizing blood sugar levels. The science behind these drugs is compelling. A landmark clinical trial from 2021 published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested once weekly semaglutide at two point four milligrams in adults with overweight or obesity. Participants lost far more weight than those on placebo, achieving the kind of weight loss previously seen only after bariatric surgery. Beyond weight reduction, research from 2023 and 2024 found that semaglutide reduced major cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke in people with overweight or obesity and existing heart disease, effectively moving the drug out of cosmetic territory and into life saving potential for specific patients.However, the medication comes with significant downsides that listeners should understand. Gastrointestinal side effects are not rare but rather expected. Nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea affect most users, with higher doses associated with increased risks of these symptoms. These side effects represent the number one reason people discontinue the medication. Additionally, once patients stop taking the drug, hunger signals return to normal, metabolism shifts back, and many people regain some or most of the weight they lost. This is why doctors emphasize the importance of long term lifestyle changes alongside medication use.Other public figures have shared their experiences with these drugs. Elon Musk revealed using Wegovy specifically for weight loss and fitness benefits, while Tracy Morgan joked openly about being on Ozempic and losing weight like crazy. Amy Schumer admitted to trying Ozempic but quit because side effects made daily life unbearable. Sharon Osbourne publicly discussed losing too much weight on Ozempic and struggling to regain it. These varied experiences highlight that individual responses to GLP-1 medications differ significantly.The broader cultural moment surrounding Ozempic reflects how normalized GLP-1 culture has become in recent years. Social media has accelerated speculation about whether various celebrities use these drugs, with some attributing every photograph showing weight loss to semaglutide use. This tendency reveals an important problem with how we discuss body changes and medical treatments in the public sphere. Weight fluctuations at any age can result from exercise, hormones, stress, camera angles, health events, fashion and styling choices, none of which require a prescription.Ozempic remains neither a miracle nor a menace but rather a powerful medical tool that can change lives for better or worse depending on how and why it is used. The medication should only be prescribed after proper screening for heart, kidney and endocrine issues. Doctors warn against taking it before major events like weddings or holidays, obtaining it through questionable online pharmacies, or using it purely for cosmetic transformation. These drugs require genuine medical supervision and serious consideration.Thank you for tuning in to this episode. Please come back next week for more in depth coverage of health and wellness topics.

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych talks with novelist Sam Sussman, author of the bestselling novel Boy from the North Country, in a candid conversation about parents, family history, and the stories we inherit without choosing. Together they explore how personal loss becomes fiction, how caregiving rewires the body, and what it means to grow up in the long shadow of myth, especially when people can't help but wonder if you might be Bob Dylan's son. Sam reflects on transforming intimate family truths into narrative, while Heather brings her embodied lens to the ways lineage shapes identity, creativity, and the emotional patterns we carry. This is a conversation about grief, legacy, and the strange wisdom inside the histories we're born into.

The Truth About Food Nobody Told You with Matt Beaudin | with Lyndsay Dowd   Some chefs chase fame. Matt Beaudin chased truth. From riverbank fires in Vietnam to volcanic soil in Rwanda, he learned from people whose kitchens often had no walls—only stories, culture, and purpose. Today, he shares that journey with us. In this cinematic and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Chef Matt Beaudin, a world-class culinary leader whose career has been built not in glossy kitchens—but in the kitchens of villagers, fishermen, farmers, and cultures most chefs have only read about. Matt's journey has taken him from the volcanic slopes of Rwanda to riverbank fires in Vietnam, from hidden markets in Hong Kong to back-porch grills in the Caribbean and small island kitchens in Barbuda. He didn't travel to collect stories—he traveled to earn them. Today, Matt is a leading voice in sustainability and conservation, using food as a platform for purpose. In this conversation, he shares how consumer choices shape global supply chains, why real sustainability requires truth—not marketing—and how partnering with the right suppliers can uplift communities and protect the environment. We also dive into his journey from barely graduating high school in a small New Hampshire town to attending the Culinary Institute of America, often called the "Harvard of cooking schools," and becoming a globally respected culinary storyteller. If you care about food, culture, leadership, conservation, or making an impact, this is a must-listen.

You Deserve Flowers with Devon Blow In this episode, host Adina Oberman interviews Devon Blow, a dynamic artist and illustrator from Los Angeles who specializes in illustration, design, writing, and social justice advocacy. Devon discusses her debut book "You Deserve Flowers," a pocket-sized collection of affirmations and poetry that originated from a therapy assignment focused on self-affirmation. The conversation explores Devon's creative process, her passion for representing diversity and marginalized communities in her work, and her upcoming projects with Familius, including "Life's Best Bits" and a picture book. Throughout the discussion, Devon emphasizes how her art is deeply connected to social justice work and her desire to bring hope and encouragement to people from all walks of life. Episode Highlights 00:00:10: Adina Oberman introduces the Helping Families Be Happy Podcast and welcomes guest Devon Blow, describing her impressive background as an artist working with major clients like Netflix, Oprah's Book Club, and the United Nations. 00:01:42: Devon thanks Adina for having her on the podcast and the conversation begins. 00:01:44: Adina expresses excitement about discussing Devon's new book and their working relationship. 00:01:59: Devon introduces "You Deserve Flowers" as a pocket-sized book of affirmations and poetry designed to provide encouragement whenever readers need it. 00:02:27: Adina asks Devon to share the inspiration behind the book and her creative process. 00:02:37: Devon reveals the book originated from a therapy assignment where she was asked to write affirmations for herself as if speaking to others, since she found it easier to affirm others than herself. 00:03:26: Adina shares several affirming messages from the book, including "Loving yourself isn't arrogance, it's survival" and discusses the beautiful artwork. 00:04:16: Devon identifies the rain/puddles page as one of her favorites from the book. 00:04:19: Adina highlights Devon's artistic signature of including little hearts on characters' cheeks throughout the book. 00:05:14: Devon explains that people and diversity inspire her creative work, and she finds beauty in everyone's unique features and cultural backgrounds. 00:06:00: Adina asks Devon to elaborate on how her work connects to her passion for social justice. 00:06:18: Devon discusses how community and hope are central to her social justice work, citing influences like James Baldwin and bell Hooks, and emphasizing the importance of embracing differences. 00:07:28: Adina asks Devon to share information about her upcoming projects. 00:07:47: Devon announces her second book with Mamis titled "Life's Best Bits" featuring over 190 illustrations about simple joys, plus a picture book project and a middle-grade fiction book she's currently writing. 00:08:41: Adina expresses excitement about Devon's upcoming work and asks where listeners can find her online. 00:09:00: Devon directs listeners to her website and social media at @DevthePineapple across all platforms. 00:09:12: Adina thanks Devon for joining the podcast. 00:09:14: Adina concludes the episode by thanking Familius for their support and encouraging listeners to subscribe and leave reviews. Key Takeaways Self-affirmation can be challenging even for those who naturally affirm others, and therapeutic exercises like writing affirmations can be transformative creative outlets. Art can serve as a powerful tool for social justice advocacy by representing diverse communities and providing hope during difficult times. Small, accessible formats like pocket-sized books of affirmations can provide encouragement and support in everyday moments. Embracing and celebrating differences in people's backgrounds, cultures, and appearances is essential to moving forward as a society. Creative work that centers love, community, and inclusivity can have meaningful impact beyond aesthetic value. Finding inspiration in the beauty of everyday people and their unique features can fuel authentic and representative artistic expression.

Known for her unapologetic voice, raw interviews, and ability to get A-listers to say the quiet part out loud, Taylor opens up about the grit, vision, and unfiltered authenticity that shaped her career. From recording faux–Ryan Seacrest interviews in her basement at age 12 to crashing red carpets with a VH1 mic flag she pulled from a janitor's closet, Taylor shares how scrappiness, boldness, and relentless belief carried her into conversations with icons like Oprah, Lady Gaga, Danny DeVito, Tucker Carlson, Dave Portnoy, and Hollywood's biggest power players. Taylor and Mike "C-Roc" dive into the discipline behind her craft, breaking out of the boxes society expects—politically, creatively, and personally—and how choosing purpose over partying paved the way for her evolution.

Jez Alborough is the author and illustrator of over 45 books for children. His Eddy and the Bear trilogy (which began with the much loved WHERE'S MY TEDDY in 1992) has sold nearly four and a half million copies and was made into a Bafta award-winning animated television special and series.DUCK IN THE TRUCK (1999) heralded the start of another bestselling series, this time featuring the irrepressible Duck and his three friends - Frog, Goat and Sheep. There are nine books in the Duck series (1.3 million copies sold) including DUCK'S KEY WHERE CAN IT BE? which won the Child magazine Best of the Year Award.In 2000 Jez created HUG - a powerful and touching book of only three words about a baby chimpanzee called Bobo who loses his Mum. HUG was raved about by Oprah Winfrey on her show when she chose it for her recommended reading list while Richard Curtis (the writer and director of Four Weddings and a Funeral) selected HUG as one of his ‘Best Books' calling it: ‘classic family drama which holds up well next to Jez's other masterpieces.' Bobo went on to star in three more classics; TALL (which along with HUG won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award), YES and PLAY. The series has sold around 2 million copies. Jez's other books include SOME DOGS DO (2004) and the NAT THE CAT series (2013).Takeaways: Smiling is a contagious act, capable of spreading joy across vast distances. The journey of creativity often begins with a single idea that evolves over time. The relationship between an author and a publisher is crucial for a book's success. Illustration and storytelling are intertwined, where images and text complement each other. Learning is a continuous process that requires both patience and resilience from the learner. Inspiration can strike unexpectedly, leading to the creation of impactful works of art.
