Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life May 29, 2025 | Episode 5104 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I discuss the valuable lessons I've learned from the women in my life—my wives, moms, daughters, and other influential women. I share wisdom from historical figures like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, exploring how women have shaped my perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. From the “look” that every married man knows about the constructive power of silence, I reflect on how women's wisdom has guided me through nearly two decades of podcasting and life itself. Featured Story Scott reflects on his relationships with the important women in his life, sharing personal insights about marriage, wisdom, and the complementary roles that men and women play together. He weaves personal anecdotes with historical quotes from first ladies and influential women, creating a tribute to the feminine wisdom that has shaped his journey over 19 years of podcasting. Important Points Women possess a unique wisdom that often guides and “tames” the men in their lives, creating balance in relationships. True strength is revealed when women face challenging situations - they rise to the occasion with remarkable resilience. Marriage is an active verb, not a passive noun. It requires daily effort and intentional love to make it work. Memorable Quotes “Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.” “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “Marriage is not a noun. It's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Pay attention to the wisdom of the women around you and actively listen to their insights. Recognize that men and women are different but complementary, bringing unique strengths to relationships. Apply the lessons learned from feminine wisdom to become a better partner, father, and human being. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

HOUSE-CALLING ON DR. WIN THE WAR: 1/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by  Robert Schmuhl  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1941 ATLANTIC CHARTER

In this episode, Jennifer is joined by author Sarah Miller as they explore the deeply intimate and complex relationship between journalist Lorena “Hick” Hickok and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Drawing from Sarah's extensive research and thousands of personal letters, they discuss how love, identity, and intimacy were expressed—and often obscured—before the language of modern queer identity existed. Together, they reflect on how this relationship redefines historical narratives, challenges binary thinking, and uplifts queer voices too often overlooked. This episode offers a powerful reminder to younger generations that they have always existed, and that queer love, in all its forms, has always found a way.

幸福感是一种体验，是我们生活中无数种体验中的一种。童话总是会告诉我们，最后公主和王子live happily ever after。似乎只有经历过艰辛的努力，最终才会有获得幸福的权利。然而事实真的是这样吗？撰写童话的人，也只是在借童话故事表达自己对于生命体验的感悟而已。真正的幸福感，应该有我们自己来定义。现代心理学研究揭开了一个关于幸福感的真相：持续记录"微小时刻"的人，幸福感比设定宏大目标者高出37%。那位每天给阳台绿植唱歌的老园丁，地铁上用素描本捕捉路人微笑的少女，深夜为流浪猫放置温水的外卖员...他们幸福感的是瞬间并不是经过"努力争取"的仪式，却像野草般在专注生活的缝隙中自然生长。而心理学中的"心流"理论早已揭示：当人们全神贯注专注于当下的体验时，幸福感早已像藤蔓般悄然爬满这段不被时间定义的时光。学习英语，也是如此。让我们忘我的投入到每一次的学习中吧！体会声音中的每一个音符的跳动，每一个生命的独一无二。那份幸福感，与外在世界的定义毫不相干。但却深深滋养着每一个想要不断向上成长的灵魂。安娜·埃莉诺·罗斯福（Anna Eleanor Roosevelt，1884年10月11日－1962年11月7日），美国第32任总统富兰克林·罗斯福的妻子，她是美国著名的政治家、社会活动家、外交家和作家。曾为美国第一夫人，罗斯福总统在任12年，她做了12年的“第一夫人”，创了美国历史之最。New Words：by-product [ˈbaɪ prɒdʌkt] n. 副产品；附带产生的结果The factory produces some useful by-products.这家工厂生产一些有用的副产品。well-lived [ˈwel ˈlɪvd] adj. 过得充实的；A well-lived life is not just about material possessions.善度的生活不仅仅关乎物质财富。Quote to learn for todayHappiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived.——Eleanor Roosevelt翻译幸福不是目标…… 它是善度此生的副产品。—— 埃莉诺・罗斯福语法结构分析“well lived” 是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 “life”。更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

我们每个人的关注，决定了我们生命的走向。科学家们发现，当人将注意力从生存恐惧转向生命意义时，多巴胺通路会重构认知框架。这对我们的生活有什么启示呢？今天我们分享一句来自于埃莉诺・罗斯福说过的话：“伟大的头脑讨论思想；平庸的头脑讨论事件；狭隘的头脑讨论他人。”埃莉诺・罗斯福，美国第 32 任总统富兰克林・德拉诺・罗斯福的妻子，她不仅是一位杰出的政治家，更是一位拥有深刻思想与卓越见解的社会活动家。罗斯福夫人的警句揭示了一个残酷真相：一个人的认知层次，决定了他与世界对话的方式。沉迷于议论他人隐私者，困在信息茧房中自娱自乐；执着于分析时事热点者，往往成为浪潮中的浮萍；唯有那些敢于触碰思想内核的思考者，才能真正推动文明的齿轮。New Wordsaverage [ˈævərɪdʒ]adj. 普通的；平均的She has an average height for her age.她的身高在同龄人中属于中等水平。mind [maɪnd]n. 头脑；思维方式A curious mind is the best teacher.充满好奇心的头脑是最好的老师。discuss [dɪˈskʌs]v. 讨论；谈论Let's discuss the project details tomorrow.我们明天讨论项目细节。event [ɪˈvent]n. 事件；活动The Olympic Games is a major international event.奥运会是国际重大赛事。Quote to learn for todayGreat minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.—Eleanor Roosevelt中文翻译伟大的头脑讨论思想；平庸的头脑讨论事件；狭隘的头脑讨论他人。— 埃莉诺・罗斯福更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

Adlai Stevenson famously eulogized Eleanor Roosevelt, saying, 'She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness.' When today's guest, Sherri, first heard this quote, she knew that she wanted it to apply to her life as well. Sherri's youngest daughter, Conni, battled through addiction and mental illness for 10 years. Sherri stayed by her side for all of that time, supporting her through the good years as well as the bad. She attended 12-step meetings with Conni and learned about addiction during Conni's low moments and celebrated with her when it seemed she was beating the addiction at last. She learned to love and support Conni while hating her addiction. Months after Conni died by intentional drug overdose, Sherri thought of that famous quote. She had a decision to make - 'I can curse the darkness or I can light a candle.' It would be so easy to want to curse the ugliness of the world when watching a loved one battle addiction. It would be easy to simply sit in darkness after your child dies by suicide. However, Sherri did not make the easy choice. She made the heroic choice to light a candle instead.  Sherri realized that her journey with Connie taught her three valuable lessons. Firstly, Sherri has far more compassion for others in pain. Secondly, she is far less judgmental of others and their actions. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, Sherri is not afraid of ugly. She has lived through the ugliest of the ugly and is still breathing. Sherri knew that she could demonstrate to others that they can do the same. She started posting on Instagram as @itsalifeunexpected to show that it is possible to love and support people through addiction without losing yourself in the process. You see, Sherri knew that she was not going to be the last mom to watch their child battle addiction. She would not be the last mom whose child took their own life. Sherri also knew she wanted to be a light to those who would come after her. She wanted to hold a candle for them and work to light hundreds more along the path so they would not feel quite so lost and alone.

It's the trifecta of listener-favorite subjects: an American First Lady, World War II, and a secret adventure. Shannon McKenna Schmidt joins us to share about her new book, The First Lady of World War II:, which chronicles Eleanor Roosevelt's journey to the Pacific theater during wartime. The five-week trip took her through the South Pacific, and began as a secret when she hitched a ride on a transport airplane next to sacks of mail. Tune in to hear what happened when she touched down in Australia.

Raffaella Baritono"Furore. Gli Stati Uniti verso la guerra civile"Biennale Democraziawww.biennaledemocrazia.itDomenica 30 marzo, ore 11:00Teatro Carignano, TorinoFurore. Gli Stati Uniti verso la guerra civileRaffaella Baritono, Mattia Diletti, introduce Oliviero Bergamini.UniVerso per Biennale Democrazia.Negli Stati Uniti è in corso una «guerra civile fredda»? Alcuni dati lo suggeriscono. Il tasso di fiducia nel governo è al 22% (era il 77% negli anni Sessanta), e la polarizzazione cresce a ritmi vertiginosi: in soli otto anni (2016-2024) la quota di repubblicani che considera i democratici «immorali» è cresciuta dal 47 al 72%, quella inversa dal 35 al 63%. Ricondurre tutto a Trump, comunque, sarebbe miope: il processo di frammentazione sociale è in corso da oltre mezzo secolo, con lo scandalo Watergate e la crisi del manifatturiero. Il risultato, oggi, è un'America spaccata lungo confini profondi – economici, politici, culturali. Un fenomeno sempre più difficilmente reversibile.Raffaella Baritono è professoressa ordinaria di Storia e politica degli Stati Uniti presso il Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e sociali dell'Università di Bologna.

The Power of Positive Delusion: A Path to Success and Personal GrowthPositive delusion, often referred to as "delulu" in modern slang, is the practice of holding onto beliefs that are not necessarily grounded in reality but can serve as powerful motivators for personal growth and success. Here's how embracing a delusional mindset can lead to positive outcomes: Definition: Positive delusion involves believing in oneself and one's abilities beyond what might be considered realistic or logical. It's about maintaining an unshakable belief in your potential for success, even when faced with adversity or odds that seem stacked against you. Types: Positive illusions include inflated self-assessment, unrealistic optimism about the future, and an illusion of control, as outlined by Taylor and Brown in their 1988 paper on mental health. Motivation and Persistence: Believing in your success can provide the motivation needed to persist through challenges. Studies show that individuals who overestimate their abilities tend to perform better, learn skills more effectively, and achieve more goals than those with a more realistic or pessimistic outlook3. Stress Management and Resilience: Positive delusions can help individuals cope with stress and trauma, fostering resilience and a higher quality of life. For example, cancer survivors often report a better quality of life than those who have never had cancer, attributing this to their ability to maintain positive beliefs4. Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem: Positive delusions can boost self-confidence, which is crucial for taking action and pursuing goals. This confidence can lead to a more positive mood and better mental health4. Manifestation of Desires: Delusion can be seen as a form of manifestation, where visualizing and believing in a desired outcome can help bring it into reality. This aligns with the law of attraction, where positive thoughts attract positive experiences7. Visualization: Imagine yourself succeeding and overcoming obstacles. Visualization is a powerful tool for creating a positive delusion that can guide your actions towards success3. Reframing Adversity: View challenges as opportunities for growth. This mindset shift can unlock hidden potential and foster resilience5. Cultivating Unwavering Belief: Develop a strong belief in yourself, even in the face of setbacks. This belief can keep you focused and driven5. Positive Self-Talk: Limit negative self-talk and replace it with positive affirmations. This can enhance your motivation and self-esteem3. Embrace the "Fake It Till You Make It" Philosophy: Act as if you are already successful, which can lead to actual success through the power of belief and action9. Inspiring Others: Your positive delusions can inspire those around you, creating a cycle of motivation and growth that benefits not just you but your community5.Positive delusion, when used wisely, can be a key to unlocking personal growth, success, and resilience. By believing in ourselves beyond what might be considered realistic, we can harness the power of our thoughts to shape our reality. This approach requires a balance, ensuring that delusions remain positive and do not veer into harmful territory. Remember, as Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." By embracing a delusional mindset, we can turn those dreams into reality, one step at a time.The Concept of Positive DelusionBenefits of Positive DelusionStrategies for Embracing Positive DelusionThe Ripple EffectConclusion

My guest is Hon. Jerleen Hollimon-Miller, former 12 year Mayor of Maysville, SC. She was born in Maysville, also birth place of her illustrious, famous Great Grand aunt, Dr Mary McLeod Bethune, confidante of former First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt and a member of FDR's kitchen cabinet. She is former teacher and children's author of "The Might Hugo Comes to Town" and  "Oh My, Hair Day". Her administration embarked on a focus of improving the town by linking it to being a tourist destination by linking it to the legacy of Dr Mary McLeod and renovating a number of town bulidings, including the Mary McLeod Bethune Museum and The Mary McLeod Bethune Learning Center. It is a very historic, heartwarming and extremely informative episode. This is the story of her grit and determination to make it happen.I guarantee you will love it... Enjoy!

Send us a textIn recent decades, women's roles and self-expression have strengthened significantly. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “A woman is like a tea bag. You can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”Women deliver a unique emotional perspective on life, expanding consciousness and creating connection. They blossom with strength and confidence when they receive support and recognition. A strength needed to share roles with men and step into leadership.Their emotional wisdom connects us to life and our humanity. I've often heard a new mother say, “I didn't know I could love this much!” No mother sends her son to war. Instead, they teach them how to love.In this episode my guest artist Andrea Smith, shares her personal journey while deciphering the major blocks to peace, love, and celebrating our differences.My take away from these last two interviews with female artists is, that women represent what we may soon be ready to acknowledge. The path to healing our world is empowering them to lead.Original Music by Will Taylor, Kenda Taylor & Strings AttachedSongs: Sister and Sam feat, Logan Waterstringsattached.bandcamp.comSponsors:Sedona's New Day Spa3004 W State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZsedonanewday.com928.282.7502The Copper Heart Art for Heart SenseArtist Catherine StefanavageWebsite:  iamcatherine.comEmail: iamcatherine16@gmail.comA huge Thank You to all our Sponsors!

MANDATE FOR THE UNELECTED NEW DEALERS, 1936:  3/8: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal by  David Pietrusza  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Roosevelt-Sweeps-Nation-Landslide-Triumph/dp/1635767776 Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the pat narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt's unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America's most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves. With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR in '36; powerful, but widely hated, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR's “Raw Deal”; wildly popular, radical radio commentator Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era's racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America. 1936 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

1/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by  Robert Schmuhl  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1941 FDR and Churchill Atlantic Charter

Edna Lewis was a legendary American chef, a pioneer of Southern cooking and the author of four books, including The Taste of Country Cooking, her memoir cookbook about growing up in Freetown, Virginia, a small farming community of formerly enslaved people and their descendants established in 1866. Before she began writing books, Edna had been a celebrated chef at Cafe Nicholson in New York City in the 1950s where Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Robeson, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Marlene Dietrich all came for her Southern food and legendary chocolate soufflé.The Taste of Country Cooking chronicled the traditions and recipes of the community where she grew up — a rural settlement that celebrated the events and traditions of daily life across each year with special suppers and ritual meals — Emancipation Day Dinner, Early Spring Dinner after Sheep Shearing, Morning After Hog Butchering Breakfast, Christmas Eve Supper and Christmas Dinner to name but a few of the dishes and stories that fill this book.In 1983 The Kitchen Sisters went to talk to Ms. Lewis about her life and the Christmas traditions in the tight-knit Virginia farming community where she came of age.For Christmas, The Kitchen Sisters Present...

— You are whole and ready to go. You do not need fixing because you are not broken. Celebrate that! You are right on track to show up for the life you want. Sure, we live in a culture that talks, writes, and sings about brokenness. It has become the social-media way to relate with others. Do you have messiness to deal with? Everyone does. Is your life complex? Probably. Have you been broken-hearted at times? Certainly. Are you broken? No! You're incredibly blessed—and your wholeness is a gift to celebrate! That wholeness is propelling you to lean forward and live your life all in. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday." That's life-changing truth delivered in just thirteen words! You've made the choice to show up for the life you want, to believe in your future and the beauty of your dreams.
