“If you don't do anything with it, then it can be taken away from you. So the end result is either you gain more or you keep none. And so we have a choice to make.”  Wealth grows when stewardship meets action. Save first, invest intentionally, and improve your “ability” so you're trusted with more. Momentum matters—get busy “at once,” compound wins, and cut losses. Markets reflect human behavior, so repeatable patterns appear; learn to read them and you'll participate in business growth—without needing to run the business yourself.  Wall Street isn't just about money—it's about responsibility. The lesson is simple: use what you're given, take action quickly, and don't let fear hold you back. Success comes to those who trust their own ability, stay disciplined, and make decisions with courage and faith.  Ron Tank, author of The Moses of Wall Street, is a full-time investor since the '90s who blends biblical psychology with market pattern recognition (“decision maker DNA”). He teaches everyday investors to act quickly, manage risk, and build wealth through disciplined, values-aligned investing.  Learn more & connect:  The Moses of Wall Street by Ron Tank https://a.co/d/2ARfZUa  RonTank.com/  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, and it's Wow Wednesday. I always try to share awe-inspiring or surprising stories with you on Wednesdays, so I went back to one of our older books and found a couple that I really love from a fun read, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Listen to Your Dreams. You may think that dreams are divinely delivered into your brain. Or you may view dreams as your brain telling you stuff you should know but somehow are ignoring. Your brain gets a chance to tell you what you already know while you are asleep and more likely to pay attention. Whichever camp you're in, from all the thousands of Chicken Soup for the Soul stories I've read about dreams, I AM sure of one thing… that we should listen to our dreams. They are often a wonderful source of guidance… a kind of GPS for our lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today's Witness I am reading from the book, Chicken Soup for the Soul, "A book of Miracles: 101 True Stories of Healing, Faith, Divine Intervention, and Answered Prayers." My mother-in-law bought me the book for my birthday this year, and I thought it might be good to share a story with you here and there for Witness Wednesday. We have all seen God working in our lives. However, we might not all be aware it is God working in our lives.  This is why it is so important we start talking about it more.  The more we share our experiences, the more people understand how God works and how much He truly loves us.  If you would be willing to share any experience of how God has worked or is working in your life, please email me at catherine@findingtruenorthcoaching.com or click here.  It won't take up much of your time, and your story could be just the story that someone needs to hear today.  Prayerfully consider sharing.  Everyone has a story, and the world needs to hear them.

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. You know, 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 acknowledge that the bad thing happened, but you decide to stop having those same negative feelings over and over again. Forgiveness also means understanding WHY something happened. I can't tell you how many times I've realized that something bad that someone did to me wasn't about me at all. It was about something else going on in that person's life and there was no deliberate intent to hurt specifically me. When you learn not to take those bad things personally, and understand where those actions are coming from, it's much easier to move on and not carry any resentment forward with you.

I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined for a second time by Dr. Krista Noble.In this conversation, Krista and I discuss her book, One With The Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars. We review the 18 universal truths Dr. Noble found in the Star Wars films, and cite examples that parallel those truths from the spiritual traditions.This Outro is titled “May the Force Be with You”. Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

End Credits: Tilman Sillescu - “Skywarriors”.Recorded: 4/22/25. Published: 9/8/25.Outro: “May the Force Be with You” (starts at 1:12:52).Check out the resources mentioned:- One With The Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars by Krista Noble: https://a.co/d/hWhG9FK (Also available from Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.org)- Dr. Krista Noble's Website: www.kristanoble.com- Star Wars: Episodes I-IX: https://www.disneyplus.com/homeOne With The Force Summary:Why are the Star Wars films so popular? Of course, viewers love the characters, the plot, the music, and the special effects. However, there is a deeper reason why these films resonate with audiences: Star Wars contains universal truths—principles that are "true for all time, all places and all people." The same principles can be found in religions and philosophies throughout the world, including the Vedic tradition of ancient India, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American/First Nations beliefs.In One with the Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars, Krista Noble explores these principles. She delves into a rich array of topics, from the Force to collective consciousness, and from enlightenment to immortality. Readers will see that the philosophy of the Jedi doesn't only apply "in a galaxy far, far away"; it is also highly relevant to everyday living. Like Luke Skywalker, we should all look within to discover the deepest truths of life, pursue our individual destinies, and strive to reach our full potential as human beings. In these ways, we can embody the wisdom of the Jedi.Advance praise:"An intriguing addition to Star Wars scholarship, which reveals the timeless substructure underpinning the space-age saga. If you watched the Star Wars movies with a feeling in your bones that you were seeing something unfold that was not merely the product of modern creative storytellers but something ancient and powerful, this book will tell you why."—Joe Holland, Instructor of Consciousness & Human Potential, Maharishi International University"One with the Force reveals why Star Wars touches the souls of its fans, showing that this iconic film series has much more to it than meets the eye. Noble's book expounds on the universal principles in Star Wars that inspire us and sustain the cosmos."—Marci Shimoff, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul"This lucid study takes up a topic dear to my heart—the uses of fiction as a wisdom path—and traces essential principles from South Eastern and other traditions of wisdom and spirit appearing in Star Wars. The parallels mentioned by the author are evocative and even archetypal. The image of a path of spirituality emphasizing balance, experience, mindful action, and unity found in difference speaks strongly to our time of culture wars and increased questioning of traditional creeds."—Craig Chalquist, PhD, author of Soulmapper"Krista Noble's insightful presentation of the Star Wars trilogy highlights and magnifies the inherent nobility of this blockbuster film series, as she unearths and identifies age-old universal principles of life and living embedded in the story. Noble's book provides a happy hunting ground for exploring the profound truths of the world's cultural, spiritual, and religious traditions. A magnificent read!"—Dr. Judy Booth, retired faculty member and current advisor at Maharishi International University This is a public episode.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I want to share another couple of stories with you today from our new book about why Self-Care Isn't Selfish.

  “I was in prison for 21 years, one month, eight days.”  Justice can fracture lives when incentives reward case-closure over truth. This conversation unpacks coerced confessions, buried evidence, and the long tail of consequences that follow an exoneration—housing denials, job barriers, and the quiet administrative ghosts that never fully clear. It's also a study in resilience: knowledge, community investment, and purposeful work as a path forward.  From the guest's side, the story spans a 1992 double-homicide investigation, a cascade of forced statements, and 21 years, one month, eight days incarcerated. The turning point hinged on withheld lockup records proving a co-defendant was in jail at the time of the murders. Post-release, the guest focused on learning law inside, then investing outside—rehabbing properties and backing a neighbourhood steakhouse—while candidly describing the lingering stigma of a vacated conviction.  Deon Patrick is a Chicago exoneree and co-author of The Hazel Boys, sharing first-person lessons on systemic failure, endurance, and rebuilding through investing and community revitalization.  Learn more & connect:    https://www.thehazelboyzbook.com/    Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

“Start scared. Start before you're ready.”  Lasting success rarely comes from waiting until the stars align—it comes from starting before you're ready, staying consistent, and having the courage to take messy action. The principles that create real progress aren't flashy; they're rooted in clarity about what matters most and the discipline to align daily life with those values.  In this conversation, Lan Phan opens up about her journey of transformation—shifting from chasing titles to living with purpose. She highlights the power of small daily choices, the mindset required to build resilience, and the importance of asking for opportunities instead of waiting for them. Her perspective shows that fulfillment isn't found in status but in designing a life that reflects your true priorities.  Lan Phan is the founder of Community of Seven, a global leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and author of Do This Daily. She equips leaders and entrepreneurs to align values, mindset, and habits so they can build businesses—and lives—that thrive.  Expert action steps:  1. Start before you feel ready—accept early imperfection as the price of progress.    2. Turn identity into action—set daily systems and keep them relentlessly.    3. Bet on yourself—trust your ability to figure things out when the branch shakes.    Learn more & connect:  https://www.communityofseven.com/  Lan's book, Do This Daily: Secrets to Finding Success, Happiness, and Purpose in Work and Life is available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.  Also in this episode:  • The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

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 acknowledge that the bad thing happened, but you decide to stop having those same negative feelings over and over again. Because if you let the bad thing replay over and over in your mind, you're letting it – or the person that did it – occupy space in your mind. And that's not cool. You need to take back that space in your mind for yourself, not let someone else control it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Carren Strock, has often been called a Renaissance woman. Equally at home with a paintbrush and canvas, a needle and thread, or a hammer and nails, she is as eclectic in her writing as she is in her other interests. While best known for her ground-breaking book Married Women Who Love Women and more, her writing style lends itself to many different genres, both fiction and nonfiction. In addition, her articles and essays have appeared in Newsweek, Woman's Day, Ms. the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, PBS's Next Avenue and AARP's The Ethel.Married Women Who Love Women,  because of its enduring cultural relevance, is being recognized as a classic, 25 years after its debut.  "Until I was forty-three, I would have said with absolute certainty, 'I am not, nor could I ever become, a lesbian. I know exactly who and what I am,' says Carren. One year later, after 25 years of a contented heterosexual marriage, I fell in love with another woman. I experienced more passion, pain, isolation and turmoil than I ever thought possible and I began to question who I really was. My journey from denial to self awareness, understanding and acceptance was not an easy one.I wrote Married Women Who Love Women as a way to deal with my own discovery and to help other women deal with theirs. By interviewing more than 100 women, as well as their husbands and children, and through additional research as well, I found that this phenomenon—married women loving women—was not as uncommon as I had believed.I also realized that no woman, single or married, is automatically exempt from the frightening possibility that she too might one day realize a dormant sexual awareness that she is lesbian or bisexual."Learn more: http://www.carrenstrock.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064718108918Twitter: @CarrenStrock

There's a real thing called fight or flight… people freeze… And that is where I believe FlipLok can, yes, save lives”  Sometimes the best ideas come from real-life problems. This episode explores how one parent turned fear into function by creating a standardized, easy-to-use safety system. It's about designing under stress: keeping actions simple, empowering even the smallest hands, and ensuring protocols are consistent whether at home, school, or high-security institutions.  Reger reveals how a lockdown drill at her daughter's school exposed serious flaws—teachers had keys but kids had nothing, and stacking furniture was the only fallback. She responded by inventing FlipLok, a device strong enough to withstand thousands of pounds of force, yet simple enough for anyone to engage instantly. Now it's protecting classrooms, hospitals, embassies, and offices. Guest bio: Anna Reger is the inventor and patent holder of FlipLok, a high-security door device now used worldwide in schools, hospitals, embassies, government, and commercial buildings. A mother, mentor, and TEDx speaker, she champions empowering communities with standardized safety tools that work for all abilities.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. This is the time of year when we are already re-examining our New Year's resolutions and deciding which ones are actually do-able. I want to share one today that is an all-year resolution for me and my husband, and that is to face our fears and have more fun as a result. We are constantly fighting off that tendency to NOT do something new, usually for some dumb reason like we don't know where to park there. But we've gotten way better about doing new things, eating new things, going to new places, having new experiences. So when you're thinking about your New Year's resolutions, you might want to add one about facing your fears or insecurities. And that's what I'm going to talk about today, with two stories from our new book about 101 ways to think positive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“There's nothing wrong with you. It's just fear.”  Fear can quietly dictate the choices we make, often disguised as procrastination, perfectionism, judgment, or people-pleasing. Learning to identify these fear responses allows us to stop beating ourselves up and instead address the real cause. When fear is recognized for what it is, the cycle of self-blame can finally be broken.  Rhonda Britten shares her powerful framework—the Wheel of Fear and the Wheel of Freedom—which helps uncover core fears and replace them with proactive, life-affirming behaviors. Through stories, examples, and practical exercises, she shows how to move from fear-driven reactions to living authentically, courageously, and fully aligned with your true self.  Rhonda is an Emmy Award–winning life coach, author of Fearless Living, and the founder of the Fearless Living Institute. She has appeared on Oprah, Steve Harvey, NBC's Starting Over, and more than 600 television shows worldwide. Named “America's Favorite Life Coach,” she continues to transform lives with her proven methods.  Learn more & connect:  Book: Fearless Living by Rhonda Britton  FearlessLiving.org  Grab the free ‘Stretch, Risk and Die Video Course' at FearlessLiving.org/risk Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Send Jay comments via textThe transition to an empty nest can feel like an identity crisis for parents who have dedicated years to raising children. The question then arises: what's next? How do you find purpose, passion, and fulfillment in this new phase of life?In this inspiring episode, Dr. Janelle explains the two stages of human development: the unconscious “boot camp” where we seek external validation, and the conscious “creating heaven on earth” phase, where we connect deeply with our hearts. She offers practical, powerful strategies to overcome subconscious blocks—like her insight: "If you challenge yourself, you'll attract support. If you stay in your comfort zone, you'll attract challenges."  For those asking, “What now?” after children leave home, she advocates connecting with your heart through gratitude and self-love to discover inspiration for your next steps. Asking the fundamental questions—Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?—can turn this transition into an exciting journey of self-discovery and purpose.Highlights & Key Takeaways:Loving your children without tying your identity to parenting avoids unhealthy pressure.Making parenting your entire purpose leads to stress for both you and your kids.Understanding the two stages of development helps clarify where you are now.Challenge yourself to attract support, and resist staying in your comfort zone to avoid challenges.Connect with your heart through gratitude and self-love to unlock inspiration.Live authentically as a role model for your adult children.Use self-inquiry—Who am I?

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we have a new book I'm very passionate about. It's all about how Self-Care Isn't Selfish. That's because self-care is not optional. It's a necessary, powerful commitment to making yourself a priority. And it also means learning how to stick up for yourself. Sometimes we don't do that. We are trying to be nice, or we can't initially believe that someone IS NOT treating us right, so we let it slide, and then it kind of becomes the official way that relationship is going to be.

“Reaching your full potential requires that you be authentically yourself.”  Breaking free from limiting systems starts with recognizing they exist. Many people live under invisible rules—whether imposed by culture, family, or belief—that dictate who they should be, what they should want, and how they should act. The real challenge is finding the courage to unlearn those inherited scripts, confront fear, and choose a path that aligns with your authentic self, even if it means losing the life you've always known.  Josh B. Morton shares how growing up in a highly controlled religious environment shaped every aspect of his life—until he decided to step away. From confronting harmful doctrines to navigating the emotional fallout of shunning, Josh reveals the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild a life on his own terms. His journey is less about attacking a religion and more about reclaiming the right to think, live, and choose for oneself.  Josh B. Morton is an author, speaker, and advocate for personal freedom. Having spent decades in the Jehovah's Witnesses before leaving, he now helps others break free from limiting beliefs and toxic systems. His book, Jehovah's Fucking Witnesses: A Book for Adults About Religious Trauma, Mental Health, and How to Move On, is both a personal memoir and a guide for anyone seeking the courage to create a life they truly want.  Learn more & connect: https://www.joshbmorton.com Book: Jehovah's F*cking Witnesses: A Book For Adults About Religious Trauma, Mental Health, and How to Move On  https://a.co/d/4LU1q6l  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.
