Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. We've been talking all summer about how you can step outside your comfort zone and make your world bigger, and also feel empowered, energized, enthusiastic, and excited. Lots of good e words. We've heard about from our writers who tried lots of things that scared them, including parasailing, roller coasters, mud runs, zip lining and more. And today I have a story from you about an Albert Einstein impersonator who describes in fascinating detail his first and probably only time skydiving, and another story from someone who faced her fear of sharks, etc. and ended up communing with sea turtles as she tried snorkeling for the first time.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Cat, which is our latest best-selling book of cat stories. We were overwhelmed with submissions for this book over the past two years, because it seems like every cat owner has a story about how their cat improved their life, made them a better person, taught them how to live in the moment, and other good things like that. And almost all of the cats in our book were rescues of some kind, either from a shelter or as stray cats that found a home. What's amazing is how often those RESCUED cats become the RESCUERS, and also HEROES. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We were overwhelmed with submissions for this book over the past two years, because it seems like every cat owner has a story about how their cat improved their life, made them a better person, taught them how to live in the moment, and other good things like that. But first, of course, you have to get a cat, and for people who considered themselves to be “dog people” that's a big first step. So today, I'm sharing a couple of stories about just that, starting with one by Victoria Lorrekovich-Miller. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm continuing to share some of the truly entertaining stories from our latest book called What I Learned from My Dog. So one of the themes in this book is how dogs thrive when they have a purpose, a job of some sorts, and that's what we're talking about today, with a dog that goes to court every day, and another dog that delivers the mail. They could have led lives of leisure, but they had other ideas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“The average millionaire or wealthy person in this country has an average of seven independent income streams.” Most people believe their job is safe—until it isn't. The false sense of security surrounding a regular paycheck is one of the most overlooked risks in personal finance. This episode challenges the old-school idea that a salaried job is the safest path and introduces the principle of diversifying income to reduce vulnerability and create long-term wealth. Fred Moskowitz shares how losing faith in “job security” led him to explore alternative investments—particularly note investing, where your money works for you. From mortgage notes to cash-flowing assets, Fred breaks down how anyone, regardless of income level, can begin building wealth streams that don't require trading hours for dollars. He emphasizes education, relationships, and strategy over blind trust in financial institutions. Fred Moskowitz is a speaker, educator, and author of The Little Green Book of Note Investing. With a background in engineering and tech, he now teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to take control of their financial futures through smart, passive income strategies.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Dog, which is the best-selling book of dog stories that we published last month. I learned a lot from these stories, including that dogs truly make us better versions of ourselves--and they also help us come out of our shells by introducing us to new people. They actually improve our lives, expanding our circle of friends and acting as our social directors. Sometimes, they dramatically change someone's life, as was the case for Anne Taylor, who talked about this in her story called “Unleashing Confidence.” Learn more about your ad choices.

“Everybody was saying, ‘How did you do that? How did you do that? How did you do this? How did you do that?' And I said, ‘Well, I'll write a damn book and I'll explain it to you.'”  When life hands you a script that says you'll never succeed—rip it up and write your own. This episode uncovers how consistent effort, raw honesty, and a refusal to quit can transform a supposed nobody into an extraordinary achiever. From failing tests to writing bestselling books, today's insights show how resilience and reinvention are the true cornerstones of business and personal success.  Jason Pike's journey began with a physical disability, a learning disorder, and being written off by the very people who should've believed in him. But instead of folding, he leaned in—joining the military, facing brutal obstacles, and turning failures into fuel. His confidence didn't come from natural talent; it came from stacking small wins and pushing beyond his limits.  Jason Pike is a decorated combat veteran, author of A Soldier Against All Odds, and a man whose life proves that grit, not genius, makes greatness. His story is a roadmap for any entrepreneur chasing the improbable.  Learn more & connect:  https://www.jasonpike.org/  Book: A Soldier Against All Odds  https://a.co/d/fOVV8mr  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 158! Richard Davidson (Alkalarian) 1st * Keynote Speaker, Author, Heart Attack Prevention Advisor, Retired U.S. Navy Diver, CLO (Chief Longevity Officer), I Walk My Talk Richard Davidson was born in 1941 and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. His life journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by a remarkable career in the U.S. Navy and a passion for promoting his own health and wellness through the concept of “Alkalinity”. In 1959, Richard enlisted in the U.S. Navy and demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill, achieving the prestigious rank of Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) and Chief Warrant Officer within 10 years. He acquired diving expertise in Para-SCUBA, Mixed Gas, and Hard Hat Diving, as well as qualifying as a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician. After a distinguished service of 20 years, he retired from the Navy in 1982 as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4). Richard's entrepreneurial spirit led him to own a Sir Speedy Printing Center and as a Book Publisher from 1991 to 1996. During this period, he collaborated with over 700 authors, contributing significantly to the literary landscape. In 1999, Richard became an Associate at the Salt Lake City "Water and Wellness Center," where his journey towards advocating alkaline water and wellness began. Inspired by influential works such as "Alkalize or Die" (1992) by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody and "The pH Miracle" (2002) by Dr. Robert O. Young. Basically, Richard started the "Alkalinity Movement" in 2002. His dedication to promoting alkaline mineral water led to its introduction at the Water and Wellness Center in 2004. In 2007, Richard embarked on a 4-year sabbatical in Missouri, where he immersed himself in learning Dr. Mayr's 100-year-old natural wellness program. His commitment to health took a personal turn in 2009 when he experienced a "Massive Heart Attack." Recognizing the symptoms, he acted swiftly, and due to his active Alkalarian lifestyle, he underwent a successful recovery without any side effects. Richard's passion for educating others about the “alkaline” concept saw him conducting live classes from 2011 to 2015, and virtual classes from 2018 to present, spreading up-to-date awareness about the potential benefits of maintaining a balanced body pH level. Continuing his pursuit of knowledge, Richard explored works like “The Acid Alkaline Food Guide” by Dr Susan E. Brown (2004), "The Alkaline Cure" by Dr. Stephen Domenig (2014) and "Get Off Your Acid" by Dr. Daryl Gioffre (2018), further solidifying his expertise in the field. Richard's passion for wellness and advocacy for the Alkalarian lifestyle led him to establish the "Alkaline Club of America," aiming to certify one million "Alkalarian" individuals. He is currently dedicated to the "Heart Attack Prevention" business, resolute in his mission to save lives and prevent heart-related health issues. With his first book set to be released in 2025, Richard's influence is poised to grow even further. His journey will culminate in a possible TEDx talk and a promising professional speaking career. Richard is associated with influential figures like Jack Canfield, author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul," and actively participates in the National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter, alongside esteemed individuals and worldwide speakers, like Dan Clark and Kathy Loveless. For those seeking to embrace a healthier lifestyle through alkalinity, Richard Davidson is a trustworthy guide. Reach out to him through his website and consider his FREE 15 Minute Wellness Assessment and possibility of joining the Alkalarian movement towards optimal wellness.

  “I wanted to get outside of my little world a little bit. I wanted to see what else was out there.”  Let's be honest—success on paper doesn't always feel like success in real life. This episode is all about what happens when you step away from the titles, the salary, and the grind… and try something wildly unfamiliar, just because it calls to you.  Our guest today walked away from nearly two decades as a lawyer and CEO—not because things were falling apart, but because something inside him said, “there's more.” That “more” turned out to be painting, writing, and eventually publishing a novel. It's a story about listening to your gut, getting uncomfortable on purpose, and letting creativity take the wheel for once.  Brad Elder is a lawyer-turned-author whose debut legal thriller Recoil of Justice is now available on Amazon. It's sharp, it's gripping, and it just might be the nudge you need to start your own next chapter.   Learn more & connect:  Find updates and bonus goodies at www.bradeldernovels.com.  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Today I'm sharing a couple of my favorite stories about why you should trust that little voice inside that sometimes warns you about things. These stories are from a great book that we made about dreams and premonitions. It's amazing how often we see stories like this, about dreams and premonitions and gut feelings that are life-changing… and life-SAVING, like today's stories in which people were actually saved from being the victims of major crimes that could have resulted in them being shot.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Dog. Our readers love these books about how dogs bring out the best in us. They certainly do teach us how to live in the moment and count our blessings and use the power of forgiveness go get on with our days. And if we rescued them from a shelter, they always seem to rescue us back. They make us laugh when we need it and they are a great source of comfort and companionship even if they just lie around being cute. But then there are the occasional heroes, and you never know when your dog is going to turn into an impressive hero, even if it's a tiny little thing. So today I want to talk about a couple of dogs that surprised their owners big time with their heroism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we're talking about dogs a lot this month because our new book is out—What I Learned from My Dog. We spent two years collecting the stories for this book and they are really entertaining, but also pretty inspirational, because they show us how fabulous the dogs in our lives are. We learn so much from our canine best friends—like how to be forgiving and grateful and live in the moment. The stories in this book can be really funny too, what with all the stories we have about dogs being dogs… like when they get into trouble but we end up bragging about whatever bad thing they did. And they are quite the heroes too, always knowing when we need comforting or when we're sick. And if they are rescues, they somehow figure out how to return the favor by rescuing us too.

Chicken Soup for the Soul was the brainchild of two motivational speakers who preach the New Thought belief system known as the Law of Attraction. For more than 30 years, the self-help series has compiled reader-submitted stories about kindness, courage, and perseverance into easily digestible books aimed at almost every conceivable demographic: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul, and on and on. Since 1993, these books have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling non-fiction book series of all time. But in recent years, the company has become many other things that seem lightyears away from inspirational publishing: a line of packaged foods, a DVD kiosk retailer, and a meme stock. In this episode, with the help of journalist Amanda Chicago Lewis, we tell the story of how this feel-good brand went from comfort food to junk. This episode was written by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman and produced by Max. It was edited by Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. Our show is also produced by Katie Shepherd.

For more than 30 years, the self-help series has compiled reader-submitted stories about kindness, courage, and perseverance into easily digestible books aimed at almost every conceivable demographic: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul, and on and on. Since 1993, these books have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling non-fiction book series of all time. But in recent years, the company has become many other things that seem lightyears away from inspirational publishing: a line of packaged foods, a DVD kiosk retailer, and a meme stock. In this episode, with the help of journalist Amanda Chicago Lewis, we tell the story of how this feel-good brand went from comfort food to junk. This episode was written by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman and produced by Max. It was edited by Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. Our show is also produced by Katie Shepherd. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. Special thanks to Rachel Strom.

" When you get rejected, it just means the person who will say yes, isn't at that address.” What if the secret to success isn't about chasing achievement, but remembering who you truly are? In this deeply personal and soul-stirring episode of SoulTalk, I sit down with legendary author, teacher, and transformational pioneer Jack Canfield.

From healing childhood wounds to breaking free from the need for external validation, Jack shares raw insights about purpose, power, and what it really takes to live a fulfilled life. This is more than a conversation about success, it's a roadmap to reclaiming your worth, reprogramming your beliefs, and creating a life that reflects your soul's calling.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Do you ever think that maybe you should focus a little more on stepping outside your comfort zone and broadening your world? I think we all have the tendency to stop doing new things… because it's easier. But then we're surprised when we try doing something new, or going to a new place, or meeting a new person, and we really enjoy it. Saying “yes” is something that we can ALL do, and it only takes a second to just plain decide that you will make that your new policy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I interview Julia Miron, who grew up in a home where speaking her truth wasn't safe. As the youngest in a household filled with anger, control, and emotional chaos, she learned to stay silent to protect herself. She retreated into journaling, music, and nature—places where she didn't have to explain herself, where she could finally breathe. Her voice, however, remained hidden. Her words barely above a whisper, while the other kids laughed and played freely.Years later, when a loss made her realize that she wanted to speak, the fear of being seen and heard still held her tightly. The idea of standing in front of people terrified her. She had tried Toastmasters, but the pressure to perform only made things worse.Then someone told her about Speaking Circles. Skeptical but curious, she walked into her first session—and everything shifted. For the first time, she stood in front of others and didn't feel the need to hide. There were no judgments, no corrections, just presence. Even though she was sweating and trembling, she was allowed to simply be. She began showing up not only on the page but in her voice.Today, she is a certified mindfulness teacher and coach, supporting individuals through one-on-one sessions that blend mindfulness and Speaking Circles. She's also launching her podcast, The Messy Meditator, where she opens honest conversations about the beauty and struggle of being human. Through her work, she helps others find the safety, stillness, and self-acceptance she had searched for most of her life.__________________Julia Rebecca Miron is a mindfulness teacher and coach, qualified by Brown University as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher. Her mission is to make mindfulness accessible to more people by demystifying the idea that you need to be perfect and Buddha-like to practice it. She believes that showing up messy is better than not showing up at all.She's also a writer, and her work has been featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul. She's currently preparing to launch her podcast, The Messy Meditator, which explores mindfulness, messiness, and life.In her free time, she loves hiking, listening to R&B and hip hop, connecting with loved ones, and doting on her dog, Disco.__________________Find Julia here:https://www.instagram.com/the.messy.meditator/https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliarebeccamiron/https://www.themessymeditator.com/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

“Every single time anybody has ever gotten angry, they've been looking through those three filters 'cause that's how you produce anger. And the other interesting thing about it is you'll realize a lot of the times one or more of those three things may not be completely true”  Anger doesn't just disrupt your mood—it wrecks your relationships, your health, and your business. This episode breaks down the hidden mechanics behind anger and why “just managing it” is a band-aid solution. Instead of reacting to triggers blindly, we learn that our brain runs a four-step process—and the real culprits are two invisible steps we've never questioned.  Dr. Mort Orman shares how years of personal development helped him break a lifelong habit of internal rage. He reveals the three mental filters that secretly cause anger: seeing something as wrong, assuming harm was done, and blaming one person entirely. Once you learn to recognize and challenge these filters, the emotion begins to dissolve on its own.  Dr. Mort Orman is a retired physician and a leading anger elimination expert. With 40 years of experience coaching thousands, he teaches professionals how to permanently dismantle their internal anger machinery and regain control over their emotional lives.  Learn more & connect:  Go to https://go.docorman.com/anger-elimination to download Dr. Orman's free guide to eliminating anger.  Book: Dr. Orman's Life Changing Anger Cure: Eliminate Unwanted Anger, Without Anger Management, So You Can Be Happier, Healthier, and Don't End Up Alone  https://a.co/d/5adEGxw  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you my most popular piece on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly on two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. One of my most popular stories appeared in a publication called The Narrative Arc, and it's called “You Have Permission to Remove Toxic People from Your Life” which is something I talk about pretty often because it took me so long to figure it out!

If men could connect to the idea that taking personal responsibility leads to expansion, more love and what they want – things could get easier. However, they have to stop looking at themselves with the self-sabotaging belief that they're not enough. The reason we have Dr. Ray Doktor as our first male guest on the Game on Girlfriend podcast is that he is working very diligently to help the men on this planet heal. I personally believe this is something that can have a massive effect on how we as women are doing business, how the world is working overall, how our sons feel as they grow, and the examples that men are giving to each other. Much like it's going to take women talking to other women about the invisible unpaid work, we're also going to need men to work with other men to show them the example of men who can be: assertive, confident and wonderful, and still be warm, have integrity and understand their own emotions. Dr. Ray is a best-selling author, recognized by the team behind the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. With a doctorate in clinical psychology and over 28 years of experience as a life and relationship coach, he has shared stages with some of the most influential voices in personal development, including Marianne Williamson, Bruce Lipton, John Gray, and Eckhart Tolle.  Dr. Ray says for men who don't have confidence and they are insecure and they want to be in a partnership, the messages that they're getting is that if they approach a woman, they could offend them. On the other hand, there are men who are not seen as a predator and are well-received. Dr. Ray says in his case, over the past four years he's been told he's mansplaining as an expert. He's even had his coaching partner – a woman – receive messages questioning her judgment and accusing him of narcissism.  “I have just come off as a confident man with a certain level of certainty, but I'm also very assertive, you know, and I'm direct, but it triggered stuff in them.” Dr. Ray points to the more conservative men, who might be looking for a 1950s housewife, and are too narrow-minded to accept women who want to be able to show up and express themselves. He said, regardless of what type of man you're talking about, the issue is that most men are not doing the inner work. They want the easy path. They'll seek pleasure over pain even knowing it's going to lead to pain again, so they make poor choices. Or they say, “I can do it, I'll figure it out,” but they don't.  Dr. Ray says there are many men who will put more value on performance than inner work. He finds that when he posts about holding space for women and their emotions, it's typically the men who will want to shut down those posts and ideas. The perspective can become competitive and combative due to insecurity. Dr. Ray says so many men are very much immersed in the collective narrative of competition and perfectionism. For example, if their partner shares something and it was delivered using an “I statement” such as “the way you spoke to me, it didn't feel good and I didn't feel safe,” it's important to realize that is not a conclusion.  “[Women are] basically saying that I'm here to improve also. I want to grow with you also. And therefore, when you take personal responsibility, I'm excited again,” says Dr. Ray. “But what happens men go into denial, they go into saying, well, you're not perfect.” As far as what women can do, Dr. Ray says the man has to do the inner work. No matter how many compliments you give him, he won't hear it if he doesn't love himself. He says women can be mindful of language when they are engaging. Seeing a man who has been able to remain masculine, assertive and confident and still have access to his emotions is the example that so many men are looking for. It's important for them to see that it's safe to heal, and if they'll still be accepted in the world if they do this work.

With vivid anecdotes—like her serendipitous meeting with Elvis Presley and the intuitive encounters that led to her two marriages—she illustrates the transformative power of living with intention and openness.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we're talking about dogs a lot this month because our new book is out—What I Learned from My Dog. We spent two years collecting the stories for this book and they are really entertaining, but also pretty inspirational, because they show us how fabulous the dogs in our lives are. We learn so much from our canine best friends—like how to be forgiving and grateful and live in the moment. The stories in this book can be really funny too, what with all the stories we have about dogs being dogs… like when they get into trouble but we end up bragging up whatever bad thing they did. And they are quite the heroes too, always knowing when we need comforting or when we're sick. And if they are rescues, they somehow figure out how to return the favor by rescuing us too.
