Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

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 book about why Self-Care Isn't Selfish. We talked about self-care all summer… and now we're looking forward to the holiday season when you will probably be way too busy and not necessarily taking the best care of yourself. So this is a reminder that you need to treat yourself once in a while, and not just save all the good stuff for everyone else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Not only do we see that we can succeed, but even if we fail, we just get up, dust ourselves off and try again.”  A clear path emerges: work hard, listen harder, and choose businesses you're genuinely excited about. Success isn't just profit; it's finding vehicles that keep you curious and energized, then learning fast when the market teaches tough lessons. The episode distills a practical mindset: sell well, listen well, and keep your timing sharp—because opportunity rewards those who ship before the boom.  From clubs to submarines, Scott Edwards shows how passion and experimentation can compound into track records (and stories) that money alone can't buy. He leans on sales, timing, and relentless curiosity, while admitting mistakes, pivots, and the importance of dusting off and trying again. The result is an approach to entrepreneurship that's joyful, gutsy, and teachable.  Scott is a lifelong entrepreneur and producer who launched one of America's earliest full-time comedy clubs in 1980, worked with Gary Shandling, George Wallace, Bob Saget, Dana Carvey, and Jerry Seinfeld, produced TV series and large concerts, owned multiple companies (including a tourist submarine), and now hosts the Tag Team Talent Podcast.  Learn more & connect:  Book: Be a Standup Comic, or Just Look Like One by Scott Edwards  Book: 20 Questions Answered About Being a Standup Comic by Scott Edwards  Tag Team Talent Podcast: on YouTube and Spotify.

“Type two diabetes is 100%, and I'll say this again, 100% reversible if done properly.”   The journey to feeling better isn't about chasing the latest fad—it's about restoring balance and learning how to nourish yourself in a way that truly lasts. When food becomes a source of healing instead of struggle, energy returns, confidence grows, and the body naturally settles into its healthiest rhythm. This isn't just about weight or numbers—it's about coming alive again in every part of life.  Dr. Jane Durst Pulkys dives into simple but powerful practices: three real meals a day, space to let your body reset, and the gift of eating foods that love you back. She shares stories of clients who see inflammation melt away and vitality return, and ultimately a sense of freedom they didn't think was possible. Her message is that real transformation doesn't come from restriction, but from clarity, structure, and a willingness to put yourself first in a way that benefits everyone around you.  Dr. Jane is a nutritional coach, speaker, author, and PhD whose work helps people reset their metabolism, balance hormones, and reclaim their joy. She has guided physicians, athletes, executives, and everyday people through lasting health changes, and her new cookbook, The Metabolic Balanced Kitchen, brings her approach into beautiful, practical recipes anyone can use.  Learn more & connect:  • Get a free 20 minute consultation when you email Jane directly: jane@janehealthcoach.com  • The Metabolic Balanced Kitchen https://a.co/d/5rdD1qh  • The Book on Confidence, The Complete Guide to Standing Tall on the Inside https://a.co/d/j1DU9A2.  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

“As money is an infinite resource, why is it not taught in school?”   Human potential compounds when you align mastery, mission, and money. This episode distills how to turn setbacks into leverage, why ethical AI can multiply impact, and how financial literacy—actually applied—becomes a force for service at scale. You'll hear a clear framework: pursue excellence, recruit mentors, and use technology to accelerate outcomes for causes and companies alike.   From Olympic-level discipline to AI-assisted philanthropy, Nick Sinanan shows how to redirect ambition toward good. He recounts qualifying for the Games, surviving a brain injury, pivoting to triathlon, and then chanelling that grit into raising billions for humanitarian work. The playbook: learn daily, borrow belief from mentors, and treat money as a teachable, scalable tool for founders and nonprofits.   Nick Sinanan is a bestselling author, world-class athlete-turned-coach, and global charity matchmaker whose book, Trillions for Good, champions ethical AI and financial literacy for impact. He is the president of both the Rotary E-Club of Wall Street and the Rotary E-Club of Vision New York City.

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.

“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.

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.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. 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”.

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.

  “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.

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

Chelsea brings back writer and Talk Girl host Sam Reece to travel back to the 2000s and dive deep into the mother-daughter memoir "Heart to Heart" by Britney and Lynne Spears. Together, they unpack the core trauma hiding between the pages, the Ryan Gosling mix-up, and the deeply cringeworthy poetry that lands somewhere between purity culture and a "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" fever dream.
