If you asked me who my top three women's fiction author are, I'd definitely add Amanda Cox--probably at the top.  Definitely at the top if I've read one of her books in the past month or so. Listen in and see why The Bitter End Birding Society could be my favorite... again (they're always my favorite). note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Bitter End, Tennessee--a nowhere place at the top of a mountain. Learn how she found out its history (not easy) and how it got its name (spoiler: she didn't). Mobile Wedding Chapel?  She's got it. Moonshine?  Get all you can drink in and no hangover!!!  (just joking around!  Avoid the moonshine in jars on your counter--your gut will thank you). The Bitter End Birding Society by Amanda Cox  A forbidden romance, a fractured family, and one woman's journey to piece it all together Hometown hero Ana Leigh Watkins ventures to Bitter End, Tennessee, to help her great-aunt prepare for retirement. A town called Bitter End seems an ironic place for Ana to refresh her weary spirit, but she's desperate for respite from the attention and unwarranted admiration of her community. While on a hike in Roan Mountain, a ragtag group of amateur bird-watchers takes her under their wing--a little against her will. However, she quickly warms to these genuine souls seeking solace in the great outdoors. But when Ana's adventures in Bitter End lead her to a severed branch of her family tree--one that involves the forbidden love between a moonshiner's daughter and a preacher's son--what began as a getaway to help her great-aunt becomes a transformative journey that binds together two women who, though they live on the same street, have been estranged for sixty years. An immersive faith-based novel of finding belonging, reconciliation, and new beginnings for fans of southern fiction. This narrative of friendship and community makes for a perfect book club selection. Don't miss the preorder at 40% off from BakerBookHouse (or the 30% off after release)--both with free shipping!

Meet Captain David Kilmer, a man whose life has been transformed by the sea. An accomplished sailor and storyteller, David Kilmer's journey began when his father launched a little wooden boat for him, named Skipper-N-Dad. This early experience sparked a lifelong love for the sea, leading to his first bluewater passage at the age of 25, a transformative 2,300-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean. By his early 30s, David Kilmer had already embarked on a life less ordinary. He ran off to the Caribbean, driven by a desire to become a boat captain, and spent five seasons working in the Grenadines. His book A Peril To Myself and Others is a vivid portrayal of those colorful and tumultuous times, a testament to the adventurous spirit that has always defined him. His latest book, The Way of the Sailor, is a captivating set of seagoing essays, meditations, and small adventures that explores what it truly means to be a sailor, the challenges and joys of life at sea, and ultimately, how to better navigate life itself. His books often delve into themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the beauty of the open ocean. From 2009 to 2019, David and his co-captain, Rebecca, cruised their 36-foot sailing sloop from Bellingham, Washington, to the Bahamas with stops in 12 countries, including Cuba and a transit of the Panama Canal along the route. Their journey was not just a personal adventure, but a testament to David's expertise and passion for sailing. David is the captain of the private sailing yacht Sizzler. You can purchase David's book on Amazon or Goodreads, or locally at the Well Read Moose or Mix it Up Home. Follow David on Instagam@captainkilmer or wayofthesailor.com

How do you establish a belief in your true identity amid other people's expectations? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Christie Award-winning novelist and former therapist Amanda Cox for a heartfelt conversation on navigating the complex space between others' expectations and our true identities. Together, they explore how the search for belonging, the weight of family dynamics, and the pressure to seek approval can both hinder and reshape our sense of self. Amanda shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the powerful ways her novels—like The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees—reflect the challenges and triumphs of embracing who we are truly meant to be. If you've ever struggled to filter out the noise of other voices so you can step boldly into your God-given identity, this episode is just for you. Tune in and discover practical wisdom, encouragement, and hope for your own path toward authenticity and healing. Highlights from the Conversation: Why so many women struggle with identity: Amanda shares how our sense of self is shaped by family, friends, and society—and how we can untangle those outside influences from the truth of who God made us to be. Approval vs. Belonging: Learn the difference between healthy belonging and people-pleasing, and the freedom that comes from living for divine approval rather than human applause. Recognizing your strengths: Are you quiet, observant, or sensitive? Amanda reminds us that what's seen as a “weakness” by others may actually be your God-given superpower. Family dynamics and healing: Ever found yourself slipping back into old patterns the moment you go home? The episode explores how deep-rooted family roles shape us, and practical ways to heal and grow—even when our loved ones don't “get” the new us. Overcoming shame and bitterness: The team discusses the pitfalls of living in the “shoulds” and how forgiving others releases us to become the person God intends us to be. The healing power of fiction: Amanda's novels, including The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees, invite readers to process universal emotions like isolation, shame, and hope—showing that fiction can be a gentle guide through real-life challenges.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I always wanted to date Robbie Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Anyone else? [CRICKETS] So whenever I drive by a Sinclair gas station, you know, the one with the dinosaur logo? I always think of him. His spiky hair. That letterman jacket.  I don't care that he was a foam puppet. I was eight and I knew what I wanted. And what I wanted… was Robbie.  I was so distracted by my thoughts of Robbie that I never realized Sinclair Oil had a dark secret. And the whole time it was hiding in plain sight.  Back in the 1920s, oil was the new gold. Because out of nowhere, all of a sudden, everything was running on it. Literally. Cars and airplanes were taking over. And if World War 1 taught us anything, it was that we needed an emergency stash of oil for the military… Just in case.  It was like a gold rush… but with oil. And when there's money on the table, somebody's gonna get greedy. This is how a *huge*  government scandal happened. I'm talking corruption, shady deals, and millions of dollars stuffed into a black briefcase.  Today we're diving into one of the dirtiest scandals in U.S. history. Before Watergate, before Enron, before Bill Clinton and Monica, there was… Teapot Dome. And yes, it involves a teapot. Kind of. Welcome to the Dark History of Teapot Dome.

How can we find purposeful living, even when facing chronic illness? In today's episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with Christy Award-winning novelist Katie Powner to discuss purposeful living in the face of chronic illness. Together, they delve into how limitations can shape our character, draw us into deeper connections with others, and open unexpected doors to meaning and resilience. Whether you're navigating chronic illness yourself or supporting a loved one who is, this conversation offers authentic insights, practical encouragement, and a reminder that every life—no matter the challenges—has extraordinary value and purpose. Join us and discover how God's grace can transform even our greatest struggles into opportunities for growth and connection. Key Takeaways: Limitations as Growth Opportunities: Chronic illness often shrinks what we think is possible, but Katie discusses how it can actually open avenues for spiritual growth, authentic connection, and even leadership through vulnerability. The Power of Prayer: When daily routines are upended and we can't “do” as much, prayer remains a powerful, purposeful act that is always accessible—and profoundly impactful. Purpose Beyond Our Expectations: Sometimes God's plans for us don't align with what we'd choose or imagine. True meaning emerges as we trust Him, invite others in, and see ripple effects in our communities. Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Impact: Katie's stories spotlight regular people facing tough circumstances—reminding us that anyone, in any setting, can do something extraordinary with God's help. Featured Quote: "Your world is always as big as the Lord and his grace that abounds...the opportunity, the ability to serve the kingdom is still just as great as any other person." – Katie Powner Get Inspired Further: Want to dive deeper? Katie Powner's novels offer vivid stories of redemption, resilience, and small-town hope.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I don't know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I'm looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don't mind, I love buying baby stuff. It's so little and cute.  But lately, I've noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby's butt aren't cold.  There's toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby's mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of?? The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better?  Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them.  And with new baby products popping up every day, I'm wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past?  I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you're a parent or not.

Listen in and learn why. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Talking with Cheryl Grey Bostrom a few weeks ago changed my upcoming book plans. Because guys, I NEED her books.  Her deep love of nature and life in her corner of the world shows in every word she speaks. What the River Keeps by Cheryl Grey Bostrom  In the beautiful Pacific Northwest, a young woman's discovery of her hidden past illuminates her present in this new novel from the award-winning author of Sugar Birds, “an engrossing tale” (Kirkus Reviews), and Leaning on Air, “an exquisitely nuanced love story” (BookTrib). Hildy Nybo is a successful biologist, her study of the Pacific Northwest's wild fish both a passion and a career. But behind her professional brilliance, Hildy's reclusive private life reflects a childhood fraught with uncertainty. Despite her father's love and her mother's sympathy, she grew up constantly losing even her most cherished belongings, unable to recall where she misplaced them. Haunted by the confusion of those early years, she now records her life in detailed diaries and clings tightly to memory-prompting keepsakes. Then her mother's health fails, and Hildy accepts a job near her childhood home, joining a team of scientists who will help restore her beloved Elwha River after the demolition of two century-old dams. There Hildy settles into one of the cabins on her family's rustic resort—a place she both loves and dreads, for reasons she can't fully explain. When local artist Miranda Rimmer rents an adjacent cabin for her pottery studio, Hildy shrinks from such a close neighbor. But then Miranda's carpenter brother, Luke, shows up to help with construction and captures Hildy's attention. Now a few years beyond a tragedy that brought him to his knees, Luke recognizes a kindred soul in Hildy, and they build a relationship that dismantles the walls Hildy's built to keep people out. As troubling pieces of the past surface, Hildy dares to wonder if she can banish the shadows that have burdened her and follow her river's course to freedom.

How can we respond to suicide grief? In today's powerful episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with bestselling author Tracie Peterson—affectionately known as the queen of historical fiction—to explore the complicated and often unspoken aspects of suicide grief. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research for her latest novel, Tracie opens up about why she chose to address suicide in her fiction and how storytelling can offer a gentle, healing space for those processing loss. Together, Tina and Tracie discuss the stigma and secrecy historically surrounding suicide, the different ways people move through grief, and the vital importance of finding safe, supportive communities—whether that means close friends, faith leaders, or professional counselors. Tune in to find both comfort and practical insight as we break the silence, shed shame, and highlight the biblical and scientific truths that can help us respond compassionately to those grieving after suicide. Whether you're in the midst of loss yourself or seeking to better support loved ones, this episode offers hope and understanding for a journey that is never meant to be walked alone. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: The Power of Story: Fiction offers a safe space to process hard emotions and see your experiences reflected, sometimes helping you take steps toward healing when you're not ready for counseling or direct conversations. The Weight of Stigma: Historically and today, many cultures surround suicide with secrecy and shame—which only compounds the pain for those left behind. Tracie's work addresses these silences and offers a message of compassion and biblical hope. A Safe Place for Grief: Healing often begins by seeking “safe people”—those you can trust with your vulnerability, such as mature faith leaders, therapists, or supportive friends. It's okay if your journey looks different from others—there's no timeline for grief. Moving Forward: You may never get over the loss, but you can get through it. God's love is deeper than our pain, and nothing can separate us from it (Romans 8). How We Can Help: If you're walking alongside someone grieving a suicide, simply being present—without trying to “fix” their pain or rush their process—makes a vital difference. And above all, pray continually for comfort and healing. Dial 988 to access the Suicide & Crisis Hotline. If you'd like to read Tracie's new Hope of Cheyenne series, starting with A Constant Love, you can find more at traciepeterson.com.   We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well

Could the stories you tell yourself be shaping how you see yourself? Sometimes those stories build us up, but other times, they are just quietly tearing us down. In this episode, Michael talks with Dr. Phil Lane, a licensed clinical social worker and the author of The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem, about how we can start to shift those inner stories in a healthier direction.Phil shares what led him to narrative therapy and why storytelling can be an incredibly powerful tool for healing. He talks about how many of us carry around dominant narratives, which are beliefs about ourselves that sometimes we may not even realize we've absorbed. And explains how you can learn to question and rewrite those beliefs, helping us reconnect with who we really are.You'll also benefit from the core techniques behind narrative therapy, like scaffolding and deconstruction, and explore what it's like to share your personal story in different settings.Listen and Learn: How the power of storytelling in a safe space can transform self-perception and healingChanging the story you've been telling yourself and beginning to see who you truly are, more fully and clearlyUncovering hidden parts of your life story beyond the dominant narrative you've acceptedHow inherited beliefs shape your story and how to consciously rewrite it for yourselfIdentifying faulty beliefs and clarifying your values helps rewrite your personal story for self-acceptanceUnderstanding your past to shape your present story empowers your daily life choicesHow to rebuild your personal story by carefully scaffolding and deconstructing it for true self-accuracyEmbracing curiosity to uncover and challenge the beliefs you've always seen as trueHow acceptance and reframing your story can empower you to embrace life's challenges and thriveViewing your life story as multi-genre can bring richer healing and balanceHow narrative therapy reveals deeper meaning beyond surface explanationsWhen and how to share your sacred story meaningfully beyond small talk and surface talkResources: The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem: Rewrite Your Story, Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Feelings of Inadequacy, and Build Lasting Confidence: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781648485312Phil's Website: https://www.phil-lane.com/You 2.0: Change Your Story, Change Your Life: https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/healing-2-0-change-your-story-change-your-life/Connect with Phil on Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087891174326https://instagram.com/therapist_phil About Phil LanePhil Lane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, psychotherapist in private practice and author of the books Understanding and Coping with Illness Anxiety, The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem and Overcoming Panic and Panic Attacks.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  One of my friends is having a baby, so we've been talking about baby stuff a lot. And of course… my stupid phone is listening. So now my TikTok feed is filled with all these freaking baby videos.  Usually I just scroll past it, but the other day… one of them caught my eye. It was a viral video all about how this girl got pregnant because she took Mucinex. You know, the medicine for chest congestion? I know… so random. I thought this was a fake video but as I did more research, turns out *thousands* of people have tried this, and tons of them swear by it. But here's the thing: this is nothing new. Since the dawn of time, humans have been trying desperately to multiply. People have been drinking strange potions, and performing controversial rituals, and even worshipping a metal penis for *centuries*. When it comes to making babies, people will try anything. So today, we're diving into the weird, wild, and sometimes terrifying Dark history of fertility.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
