Podcasts about Chicken soup

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: Let It Go, which is our best-selling self-help book from last summer. It's all about how you can find freedom in your own life by using the power of forgiveness. It really works, too. I've adopted it in my own life, and now I even do what I call “pre-forgiveness”, saying to myself “Well if I'm going to forgive this behavior anyway I might as well not even get mad in the first place.” Pre-forgiveness is a great way to live.

Rafe might have allergies. Or a cold. Or he might simply be preparing for pharmaceutical Armageddon.Either way, he arrives with enough medication spread across the desk to make the studio look like a Walgreens with microphones.That's how this episode begins, and somehow things get significantly less sanitary from there.Rafe is determined not to get sick, so he's armed with cold remedies, allergy treatments, mystery medicine from Devon and, naturally, cheese-filled salami wraps. Rizz recommends the traditional cure of chicken soup — AKA “Jewish penicillin” — while everyone tries to determine whether there's actually something magical happening in the broth.This daily podcast then becomes a support group for adults who wake up injured despite accomplishing absolutely nothing.Rizz's hand mysteriously hurts. Lern wakes up with a completely numb hand after falling asleep on the chaise lounge. Rafe routinely loses feeling in entire arms while sleeping. That launches everybody into an extremely detailed comparison of sleeping positions, dead limbs, stomach sleeping, coffin sleeping, restless legs and the bizarre little rituals our bodies apparently demand before allowing us eight hours of unconsciousness.Moon sleeps like a vampire.Lern has an elaborate pelvic-hand configuration.Rafe rubs his feet together like a human cricket.Everybody is doing great.Lern also shares her surprise Mary Kay makeover from a listener, which sends the room down memory lane with pink Cadillacs, parents getting involved with Mary Kay, Tupperware parties and the strange world of home-sales businesses.Naturally, Rafe has a related story.Early in his comedy career, he and another comedian performed at an event and discovered part of their compensation involved a swag bag filled with adult products.Money disappears.Possessions come and go.But apparently a bag of novelty merchandise is forever.From there, Rizz gets into the supposed magic of 10,000 steps a day and explains that the famous number traces back to pedometer marketing rather than some sacred scientific commandment. The crew discusses walking pace, Moon's extremely active 83-year-old mother and the general importance of staying mobile as you get older.Then we meet Hyrox.Imagine running five miles while repeatedly stopping to punish yourself with sled pushes, sled pulls, burpee broad jumps, rowing, kettlebell carries, sandbag lunges and wall balls.Sounds fun!It gets better.The show discusses a 22-year-old competitor who won a Hyrox event despite suffering an absolutely catastrophic bathroom emergency during the race.She kept going.And won.Normally, that would be an inspirational sports story about perseverance.Unfortunately, Hyrox involves shared workout equipment.Now we have a biohazard.The crew debates whether finishing the race was admirable, horrifying or both, especially after learning the incident reportedly happened early enough that the competitor still had multiple shared stations ahead of her.The event ultimately changed its rules for future incidents, but her victory remained intact.A win is a win.Apparently.You might think one poop story is enough for a daily podcast.That would indicate you have never listened to The Rizzuto Show.Welcome to Poopy Tuesday.The next story involves an alleged affair, neighboring units in a Miami-area mobile home park and a woman accused of preparing an entire bucket of human waste specifically to throw in her neighbor's face.That sentence somehow gets worse when the crew learns she reportedly told someone beforehand what she was planning.Nothing says “healthy conflict resolution” quite like collecting ammunition yourself.Crime news continues with authorities reportedly searching for an older Chevy Tahoe bearing the words “Fat Chicks Only” after a burglary. Witnesses allegedly describe two large bearded men, meaning police received perhaps the most specific and simultaneously useless suspect description imaginable.Then Vegas enters the chat.A man meets two women at a nightclub, drinks with them, hits the hot tub and brings them back to his hotel room. He later wakes up to discover cash missing along with tens of thousands of dollars in allegedly unauthorized transactions.The crew immediately begins investigating the most important unanswered question:Did the poor guy at least have a good night first?We may never know.Things eventually move to air travel, where Rizz recalls sitting near a passenger who suffered a seizure before takeoff and was ultimately removed from the flight because of the medical risk.Then comes another flight story involving a passenger who reportedly got completely naked and began engaging in inappropriate behavior in front of neighboring passengers.The pilots apparently decide they're still going to Miami.Honestly, at that point, everybody deserves the vacation.Moon also unloads on airline entertainment systems that constantly interrupt movies with announcements, lengthy videos and pilots who sound approximately 40 years older over the intercom than they looked while boarding.Then Rizz destroys airplane dining forever.According to a flight attendant story discussed on the show, some passengers have changed babies on tray tables.Yes.Those tray tables.The same tray tables where you put your pretzels.Moon says he wipes down his tray, screen and armrests whenever he flies.Suddenly that no longer sounds obsessive.It sounds like basic survival.And because apparently the gastrointestinal theme had not been explored thoroughly enough, the crew circles back to diarrhea for a discussion about a reported cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce being declared over.Lettuce is back, baby.The long national nightmare has ended.Finally, the crew gets into one of St. Louis' favorite shared hobbies: complaining about Lambert.Airport pickup congestion, Uber confusion, departures versus arrivals, construction, terminal access and the increasingly chaotic experience of simply trying to collect another human being from the airport all get their turn.For years, one of St. Louis' greatest airport flexes was convenience.Now?Welcome to Thunderdome. Please locate your Uber somewhere in this general zip code.So yes, this episode has allergies, mysterious body pain, bizarre sleeping positions, Mary Kay, unconventional comedy compensation, fitness trends, competitive bathroom disasters, weaponized feces, Vegas mistakes, naked airline passengers, contaminated tray tables, lettuce recalls and St. Louis airport rage.Exactly what you expect from a daily podcast that begins by recommending chicken soup and somehow ends up making you afraid of gyms, airplanes, mobile homes, lettuce and your own digestive system.Feel better, everybody.And maybe disinfect that tray table.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailAuthors using AI is Raoul Pal's new book the future?  AI "partenered" with author Raoul Pal to help his publishers turn 30 years of his ideas, speeches, frameworks and intellectual property into his new book, The Everything Code. Is this the future of AI book writing — and what does it mean for authors? In this episode I look at the fascinating story behind Raoul Pal's new book and why Harriman House, Pan Macmillan describe the process as “human-originated and AI-facilitated.” The source material was Pal's own archive material works, while the final text went through human shaping, structuring and editing. Rather than asking AI to invent a book from scratch, the process drew on Raoul's existing body of work — (his IP) his own ideas, writing, speeches and frameworks — using the AI system Weave developed by CHAPTR, alongside fact-checking, editorial shaping and human review. That distinction matters. As an author, publisher, and AI Book Coach, I've long been saying we're moving toward a model where AI can help writers organise, retrieve, connect and develop their own intellectual property without replacing the human voice behind it. BUT AUTHOR BEWARE... human storytelling is what million dollar premium ghostwriter Nicolas Cole on X calls Personality Content  vs Commodity Content — the difference between words anyone could produce, and words only one person, with one specific life, could ever have written.In nonfiction books human content it is essential to win the day over informational facts that we can glean from AI. And Raoul Pal is an especially interesting example because his thinking goes beyond writing into something else I'm fascinated by: the Future Self, exponential change and how we prepare ourselves for the world that AI is creating. [Full disclosure his book is still in pre-order so I haven't yet read it...but from his interview on Diary of a CEO I heard him him explain why our world economy is F*ucked and what his "real vision" is for our future. He shared a Future Self hack he himself uses.In this episode: — Raoul Pal and The Everything Code — How AI was used in creating the book — Why “human-originated, AI-facilitated” matters — Using your own IP rather than letting AI become the author — What this could mean for authors, experts and thought leaders

Hospitality leaders often stay behind the scenes long after they're ready to step up. Patty Aubery, co-author of the billion-dollar Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, joins Certified Speaking Professional Michelle Pascoe to reveal what it actually takes to move from doing the work to owning your voice and your title. What's stopping you from stepping out from behind the scenes and into the role you've already earned? In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Patty Aubery, who spent decades behind the scenes helping build Chicken Soup for the Soul into a billion-dollar publishing brand before she stepped out from behind it to build her own name. Patty Aubery co-authored more than a dozen Chicken Soup for the Soul titles and helped grow the brand to over 300 published books, all while staying largely invisible behind two famous names. As Patty explains, self-doubt is a habit rather than a fixed trait, and habits change through repetition and support. She shares the exact formula she now teaches women to structure a talk, a pitch, or a promotion case, so stepping into the spotlight becomes a skill rather than a personality trait. Michelle brings this conversation directly to hospitality leaders because the same pattern shows up on the floor, in the back office, and in the boardroom: talented people running the operation from behind the scenes while someone else gets named on the cover. Yes, it's time to step up, because teams follow people who are willing to be seen, not just people willing to work hard. Key Takeaways Patty explains how she went from answering a "secretary wanted" ad to co-authoring more than a dozen New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul titles. Why capable leaders stay behind the scenes instead of stepping up, and how asking "if not you, who?" reframes the decision. The practical formula Patty now teaches women to structure a talk, a pitch, or a promotion case without needing to be a natural performer. Why men apply for roles at 50% qualified while women wait until they feel 98% ready, and what leaders can do about it. The mindset shift, treating self-doubt as a habit rather than a fixed trait, that helped Patty step out from behind the scenes and build her own authority.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm excited about sharing stories with you from our new dog book: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Best Dog Ever. This new collection celebrates everything dog, from dogs that are mischievous to dogs that are surprisingly good, from dogs that are hilarious to dogs that are heroes, and from dogs that are natural therapists to dogs that bring people together. Sometime, these dogs don't just belong to one family, but to a whole neighborhood, even when their official humans don't know it. That's what happened to Joy Marie Morris. And she didn't find out until she went home from work early one day, only to discover that her Malamute, Panda Bear, was missing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, Jennie and Mark Victor discuss: The story behind their written book about asking Increasing your network of contacts The effective way of asking Supporting a cause through your business Key Takeaways: There is no harm in asking. Learning and practicing the art of asking can help you turn your dreams into reality. To keep your network of contacts growing, you must first figure out what you want and who you're going to talk to, then visualize the story of showing your intention as well as your expectation of a positive response from them. You have to ask yourself, ask others, and ask God. Asking yourself positive questions will yield positive results. Support charities or social causes that are close to your heart. Giving back not only helps you grow your business, but it also touches the lives of others, inspiring them to do the same and make a difference. "Everybody's got a destiny code from the minute you were born. Your job is to find it." – Mark Victor Hansen About Mark Victor Hansen: Along with business partner Jack Canfield, Hansen is best known for creating what Time magazine called “the publishing phenomenon of the decade”. Chicken Soup for the Soul books is one of the most successful publishing franchises in the world today, with more than 500 million books sold internationally and more than 100 licensed products. The name “Chicken Soup” was chosen because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick. The first Chicken Soup book, published by Health Communications, Inc., sold more than 2 million copies. There are now over 500 million copies in print and in 54 languages worldwide. In 2004 Hansen was inducted into the Sales & Marketing Executive International's Hall of Fame, receiving the Ambassador of Free Enterprise award. He also received the 2004 Visionary Philanthropist for Youth Award by Covenant House of CA. In 2002 The University of Toledo presented Hansen with an Honorary Ph.D. in Business Administration and established the Mark Victor Hansen Entrepreneurial Excellence Fund that will help shape the minds of future business leaders and assist in the development of the faculty who will teach them. In 2000 The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans honored Hansen with the prestigious Horatio Alger Award as an American leader who personifies the virtues and principles inherent in the success stories written by nineteenth-century American author Horatio Alger Jr. In 2000 Northwood University honored Hansen as the Outstanding Business Leader of the Year. Seeing the desire on everyone's bucket list to write a book and their profound destiny to help, Crystal and Mark created a publishing company called: markvictorhansenlibrary.com Mark and his wife, Crystal Dwyer Hansen, have recently co-written their newest book called, ASK! The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and author of The Success Principles, to discuss intention, persistence, and lifelong impact. Jack shares how teaching struggling students introduced him to goal-setting, visualization, affirmations, action, and feedback. We talk about overcoming 143 publishing rejections, creating demand before Chicken Soup for the Soul had a publisher, and using unconventional marketing to reach readers everywhere.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the biggest thing holding back your business isn't your strategy — but a hidden belief about being seen, charging what you're worth or allowing yourself to succeed?Dr. Craig Weiner joins me to explore the emotional and psychological blocks that can quietly keep healers, coaches, practitioners and solopreneurs from thriving.Craig contributed a powerful chapter to our collaborative Tapping book Tap Into Your Best Life, looking at issues including imposter syndrome, worthiness, visibility, boundaries, structure and the beliefs we carry into our businesses from much earlier in life.We talk about:• “Who am I to be the expert — and who am I to charge this?”• Why old beliefs can start feeling like facts• Feeling safe enough to be seen, receive and lead• Courage and self-compassion rather than trying to become fearless• Why resistance to structure can look like procrastination• Following passion and purpose while creating healthy boundaries• Why you don't have to do everything yourself• When self-tapping is appropriate — and when deeper work deserves the safety of a skilled practitionerCraig also shares candid stories from his own journey, including changing the structure of his chiropractic career and confronting his own fears about what other people would think.And don't miss his wonderful story near the end about having to speak immediately after Dr. Joe Dispenza at a conference in Australia — and becoming so nervous that he had to leave the room and tap!This conversation also points beautifully toward the questions I'm now exploring in my next collaborative book, Tap Into Your Best Money Life:What changes when we stop believing that success has to come from working harder — and become more able to value ourselves, enjoy our work and receive more?

"My dad committed suicide when I was 14. I left school and never went back. Then in my 20s, early 30s, I went bankrupt, lost everything, and got divorced the same year. I rebuilt myself again. And now at 46, I've been through a lot, and I think I'm there. I think I'm ready." — Mario Lamarre Mario Lamarre returns to Respark Your Life — one of very few guests Raymond has ever welcomed back — and the reason becomes clear within minutes. He leads with his failures, not his wins. His first business idea flopped. His early 30s brought bankruptcy and divorce in the same year. His father died when he was 14. He shares all of it without drama, because he has learned that the hard path he walked is exactly what prepared him to do what he now does well: bring ambitious people together and create conditions where real things happen. The business he has built around that gift, the Investor Edge Ecosystem, is part curated coaching directory, part intimate experiential retreat, part global business growth summit — and it grew directly from understanding what he was genuinely good at and building everything around that, rather than around what he thought he should be doing. Along the way, Raymond adds something most people have never heard: the real reason Henry Ford named his breakthrough vehicle the Model T. It is a small piece of history that reframes failure entirely. Mario also shares a three-part networking framework — network up toward mentors, tend the relationships you already have, and never stop expanding outward — that he credits as the turning point of the last four or five years of his life.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it's Wow Wednesday, which is when I find awe-inspiring or surprising stories to share with you. Today I've got a couple of cool stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let Your Dreams and Premonitions Guide You. The stories in this book show you how you can use your dreams and premonitions as a kind of GPS for your life. While you're sleeping, and you're not distracted by all the sights and sounds of the day, you can actually pay attention to your subconscious and it might reveal helpful things. Or you can believe that your dreams and premonitions are of divine origin, and we have many stories in the book that seem to fall into that category too, as they defy rational explanations! One of my favorite categories of dream stories is when someone learns something from a dream, something they would never have learned during their waking hours. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever wondered why you're not reaching your goals or why it takes so long, this episode is for you.Listen as our host Diane Rolston reveals what she's noticed in what the women who finally moved forward actually needed. She shares why the answer probably isn't another course, more information, or a better goal.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The wide range of goals women brought into She's Goaled over the years and the surprising pattern that showed up underneath all of themWhat women actually wrote on their application forms when asked what they needed and why it had nothing to do with more knowledgeThe woman who could easily see solutions for everyone around her but couldn't see clearly for herself, and why that's more common than anyone admitsWhy you probably already know what you need to do and what's actually stopping you from doing itWhat happens when you share your problem with a friend or networking contact and why it's not the same as having dedicated supportThe woman who wanted to start a new business while keeping her current one going, finish home renovations, and improve her health all at onceThe woman who sold her house, bought an RV, and started traveling while running her business and how fast it happened once the right support was in placeWhy She's Goaled isn't a course and why that matters, and how it flows naturally alongside your actual lifeThe lingering projects story: why one woman realized the things she'd been putting off weren't as hard or expensive as she'd thoughtThe question worth sitting with: if nothing changes about how you're currently approaching your goals, where will you be six months from now?Six months are going to pass either way.

Pat has authored two cookbooks: Whisk Upon a Star and Mouth of the South. Her latest book: Hurdles in a Girdle...Holding Life Together When You're Bursting at the Seams was published by the same group that produced Jack Canfield's books, known for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. How did you get interested in hypnotherapy? What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy? Why do willpower and motivation fail at the conscious level, and how does hypnotherapy address that? What role does the subconscious mind play in our ability to stay motivated or consistent? Can you share an example where hypnotherapy helped someone succeed where willpower alone didn't? How does hypnotherapy help people stay inspired? Can you describe the process? Pat Allen Pat Allen went into real estate and opened Pat Allen Realty Group fourteen years ago, where she consistently ranks among the top 1.5% of brokers nationwide. Pat has authored two cookbooks: Whisk Upon a Star and Mouth of the South. Her latest book: Hurdles in a Girdle...Holding Life Together When You're Bursting at the Seams was published by the same group that produced Jack Canfield's books, known for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Success Principles. Jack endorsed Pat's book on the cover. Pat is dedicated, determined, and driven, and her success is due to the fact that she always makes it about her client...not herself. She felt compelled to help other women find love, purpose, and joy in their lives. "My message is that we should never stay stuck in a bad marriage/relationship or an unfulfilled job. Fear holds us back from a life of joy, love, and purpose. If children are involved, thinking it's better to stay in a bad marriage is wrong…they will be impacted the rest of their lives."

Send us Fan MailWhat if manifesting your best life is being blocked energetically by past trauma from as early as being in the womb? Sharon King, a healing birth trauma expert, describes feeling that, as a baby in utero, she was trapped in what she calls an “emotional toxic womb” — absorbing not only the effects of her mother's cigarette smoking, but also her anxiety and fear.Years later, this memory was triggered when Sharon felt overwhelmed in a smoke-filled restaurant in Prague. Sweating, nauseous and desperate to escape, she suddenly recognised something much deeper: this was how her baby self had felt in the womb — trapped, with nowhere to go.That extraordinary moment opens our conversation about the parts of ourselves that can become frozen in trauma — and the question at the heart of this episode:What part of you got left behind?  And how can we repair and heal it? That's the theme of Sharon's new book which includes the work she does today with the Light Matrix. We explore how those early emotional imprints may affect adult behaviour, relationships, creativity, self-worth and even our relationship with money.Sharon also shares:• Why trauma can feel like a part of ourselves has been “left behind”• How Matrix Birth Reimprinting grew from her work with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting• Her newer work with the Light Matrix and Healing Rooms• How childhood experiences can create unexpected beliefs around money and receiving• Why she is writing her new book, "The Self You Left Behind"• How she uses ChatGPT and Claude as collaborators rather than replacements for her own voice and ideas• The remarkable manifestation story that led her to move from the UK to Koh Phangan, Thailand• Why manifestation still needs practical action — and sometimes surrender and timing• Clear Your Money Blocks + Dr Joe Vitale NextTO SUM IT UP"Your past does not define your future."Even experiences we thought we had dealt with can reveal another layer asking for our attention. And, as Sharon explains, it is never too late to revisit an old emotional imprint and give that younger part of ourselves the resources it didn't have at the time.What part of YOU might have been left behind?

"You can't always control what's happening to you, but you can control how you react to it. That was the biggest lesson I learned." — Ken Kunken On Halloween 1970, twenty-year-old Cornell engineering student Ken Kunken tackled a ball carrier during a football kickoff and broke his neck. The rehabilitation pamphlet his family was handed listed one possible future for someone with his injury: selling magazine subscriptions by telephone. Ken couldn't dial a rotary phone. What happened next took five decades, three Ivy League degrees, a passed bar exam, a courtroom with doors too narrow for his wheelchair, and more than 200 mailed-out resumes before a single employer said yes. Ken Kunken became the world's first quadriplegic lawyer — and eventually a Deputy Bureau Chief supervising 25 assistant district attorneys — not because adversity left him alone, but because he learned something essential: you can't control what happens to you, only how you respond. His story is a reminder that the people who help us matter as much as the determination we bring ourselves — and that one person willing to give you a chance can change everything. Ken's book, I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story, is available in hardcover, ebook, and as an audiobook narrated by Ken himself.

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: Let It Go, which is our latest best-selling self-help book. I didn't really understand the power of forgiveness to change my life until I started doing this editor-in-chief job at Chicken Soup for the Soul 18 years ago. I always thought that the word “forgiveness” meant that you were excusing the person who hurt you, saying that it was okay. But it turns out that “forgiveness” doesn't mean that. What it actually means is that you have decided not to keep reliving all the negative feelings associated with whatever bad thing happened to you. You may even come to understand WHY it happened and what drove the other person to act that way, which enables you to NOT take it personally. Because it was never really about you. It was about themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

So what will make YOUR book — or your chapter in a collaborative book — worth reading?Your authentic human experience.In this video, I explore why the explosion of AI-generated content doesn't mean authors should abandon AI. Far from it.I believe the future is:HUMAN-LED. AI-ASSISTED.I share how authors can use ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools to research, uncover memories, find turning points, organise ideas and develop compelling stories — without outsourcing the very thing that makes their writing irreplaceable: themselves.And there's a wonderful example from my recent interview with Dr Joe Vitale, star of The Secret and the award-winning Zero Limits movie, author of 90+ books and Foreword writer for our forthcoming collaborative book Tap Into Your Best Money Life.Joe tells the extraordinary story of how, while homeless, angry and struggling, something as ordinary as a pencil helped shift him from bitterness into gratitude — opening the door to empowerment.AI can explain gratitude.AI can write about a pencil.But AI didn't pick up Joe Vitale's pencil.That's the difference between information and lived human story.I also share what I learned from publishing Tap Into Your Best Life, featuring transformational stories from EFT Tapping practitioners and experts around the world — and why story, struggle, turning point and transformation matter more than ever in the age of AI.

When she mentioned the speaker's name — a former state rep, former disc jockey, now a motivational voice people were talking about everywhere — her mother went still as a ghost. And then said the words that changed everything: I know very well who he is. In fact, he is your father. That is how Dr. Ona Love Brown met Les Brown. In her twenties. At a rally. With a notepad in her hand and her whole life about to shift direction. What followed was a journey that took her from the Ohio legislature to a receptionist's desk at Les Brown Unlimited in Detroit — a pay cut she took without hesitation, because what she was gaining was worth far more than what she was giving up. Over the years that followed, Les handed her some of the toughest clients he had — attorneys, surgeons, athletes, people carrying extraordinary stories they had no idea how to tell — and walked out of the room. What Ona discovered in those sessions became her life's work: she is what her clients now call the Message Midwife, someone who helps people give birth to the unique story they were always meant to share. Raymond contributes his own extraordinary memory — the Atlanta event where Les arrived in unbearable pain, was lifted onto the stage in a wheelchair, then lit up the room so completely that when he finished, ten thousand people stood and walked out, leaving Raymond next on stage with forty. He would make the same choice again. Whether you know your story or suspect you might have one you've never said quite right, this conversation is an invitation to look more carefully at what you already carry.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it's Wow Wednesday, which is when I find awe-inspiring or unusual stories to share with you. Today I've got a couple of cool stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let Your Dreams and Premonitions Guide You. The stories in this book show you how you can use your dreams and premonitions as a kind of user manual for your life. It's amazing how much information you can get from your dreams, information that can vastly improve your life during your waking hours. And premonitions, or that little voice you sometimes hear in your head warning you about something… well, we get so many stories about how those premonitions or little voices have saved people's lives. I'm going to share two of those with you today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Before you work any harder towards your goals this fall, there's one question worth asking first: are you actually chasing what you want? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something ambitious women rarely stop to examine: the goals they're pursuing that were never really theirs to begin with. She shares why the friction you're feeling might not be a discipline problem at all.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why ambitious women are great at setting goals, but not every goal comes from a genuine desire (some come from expectations, comparison, or simply being the next logical step)Why Diane quit a commitment even though she invested money, made a plan, and had committed, and what Diane's coach asked that changed everythingThe difference between not wanting to do something and not wanting the outcome, and why that distinction matters more than you thinkWhat "should goals" actually sound like and why they feel heavy even when they sound impressiveWhy women often assume they're procrastinating when they might actually be resisting a goal that doesn't belong to themThe connection to Chasing: the spark that says "she stopped listening to me years ago", and what that means for the goals you're quietly ignoringThe client who wanted a promotion, and what doing the Wheel of Life revealed was actually underneath that goalWhy carrying the wrong goals into a busy season just creates more pressure, and why the fall is the perfect time to pause and check inThe reminder that sometimes the goal doesn't need to be dropped. It just needs to be achieved a different way (or made even bigger)The truth about friction: a goal you don't actually want will fight you every step of the way, and no amount of discipline can fix thatShe's Goaled Coaching Mastermind doors are open until September 4th at 11:59 pm Pacific.

S6:E68 Sometimes you meet someone whose work you've known for years and then discover that the story behind the success is even better than you expected. This was one of those conversations. Dr. LL openly admits to a little fangirling (okay - a lot - I cannot even tell you what an honor and privilege it was to have her on my show!) as she welcomes Patty Aubery, longtime business partner of Jack Canfield and former President of Chicken Soup for the Soul. But what follows isn't a highlight reel. Patty talks about confidence, fear, collaboration, success, publishing, speaking, the extraordinary growth of Chicken Soup for the Soul and the surprising truth that while she was helping build an international phenomenon, she was also a self-described "professional hider." She turned down enormous speaking opportunities. She stayed behind the scenes doing what she already knew she was good at. Until her mother, while in hospice, told her: "Promise me that you won't be invisible. I didn't raise a daughter to be invisible." Three months later, Patty gave her first workshop. If people don't know what you know, what you've accomplished, or what you can contribute, they cannot recognize your value. And today, the same problem extends to AI systems: authority that isn't expressed clearly and consistently becomes authority that can be misunderstood or never recognized at all.

"I'm very, very encouraged because people are shaking yokes off. They don't always know what the next step is or the complete vision, but something again is propelling them towards something better and greater." — Beth Wilson Beth Wilson knew from age seven that she moved through the world differently. Books fell off shelves at the right moment. She felt guided rather than driven. By 14 she realized not everyone experienced life this way. Today she helps people reconnect with that same inner compass — the one that conditioning, religion, and ordinary life have trained most of us to ignore. Her book Escaping Crazytown weaves together childhood trauma, mystical adventure, legislative work in Washington, and decades of coaching into one of the more surprising life stories you'll hear. Raymond brings his own extraordinary story: the woman who wrote down, before they ever met, that her dream man had to be a mathematician, a real estate investor, a teacher, and the author of exactly two Chicken Soup for the Soul books. One man on Earth qualified. These are the kinds of stories that make you wonder what you might have written down — and haven't yet.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it's Wow Wednesday, which is when I find awe-inspiring or surprising stories to share with you. Today I've got a couple of cool stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let Your Dreams and Premonitions Guide You. The stories in this book show you how you can use your dreams and premonitions as a kind of GPS for your life. While you're sleeping, and you're not distracted by all the sights and sounds of the day, you can actually pay attention to your subconscious and it might reveal helpful things. Or you can believe that your dreams and premonitions are of divine origin, and we have many stories in the book that seem to fall into that category too, as they defy rational explanations! One of my favorite categories of dream stories is when someone dreams about love—about their soul mate—and then their dream actually comes true in the future. Often they had never met that person and just imagined him or her. Or, the dream might seem impossible, an idea that everyone would laugh at. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever felt like you're getting things done, reaching your goals, and other people look at you thinking, "Wow, she's doing amazingly," and yet you still feel behind? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, unpacks something she sees constantly in high-achieving women: being successful on paper but not feeling successful. She gets honest about why accomplishing a lot doesn't always feel like enough and what's really going on underneath.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The podcast award moment: being ranked number 17 out of 50 and what Diane's brain immediately jumped to instead of celebratingWhy high-achieving women reach one goal and almost immediately move the finish lineThe year Diane said, "I didn't accomplish much" and what the coaches around her said that stopped her coldThe client who kept collecting certifications and training before feeling ready to run workshops and what she actually needed that no certification could give herThe sprinter who was asked to run the 1,500 and why comparing your pace to someone else's race makes no senseWhat happened when a client and his two friends sold a company for 75 million dollars and why he felt badThe client who said her next step was a promotion at work and the real answer she gave when Diane asked what would actually make her happyWhy the problem isn't goals or achievement. It's the question we never stop long enough to askThe connection to Diane's one-woman show Chasing: what happens when success doesn't feel the way we thought it wouldWhat the gap between success and satisfaction is really telling you and why outrunning it doesn't workMaybe you aren't behind after all.

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: Let It Go, which is our latest best-selling self-help book. I didn't really understand the power of forgiveness to change my life until I started doing this editor-in-chief job at Chicken Soup for the Soul 18 years ago. I always thought that the word “forgiveness” meant that you were excusing the person who hurt you, saying that it was okay. But it turns out that “forgiveness” doesn't mean that. What it actually means is that you have decided not to keep reliving all the negative feelings associated with whatever bad thing happened to you. You may even come to understand WHY it happened and what drove the other person to act that way, which enables you to NOT take it personally. Because it was never really about you. It was about themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
