In this incredibly raw and hope-filled episode, actress Jen Lilley (Hallmark Channel, Great American Family, Days of Our Lives, The Artist) sits down with host Heather Creekmore to share the full story behind her 15-year battle with bulimia—and how faith, grace, and the power of honesty led her toward freedom. You may know Jen Lilley from her cheerful Christmas movies and bubbly TV roles, but behind the scenes, she silently struggled for years with an eating disorder. In this conversation, she doesn't hold anything back. Jen bravely walks us through her childhood, the devastating origins of her eating disorder, and the shame-filled secrecy that followed her well into adulthood—even after launching a successful career in Hollywood. But this is not just a story about struggle—it's about healing and truth. Jen opens up about the flawed advice and myths she encountered about eating disorders, the power of spiritual conviction over mere willpower, and the crucial turning point when she allowed herself to trust God fully with her recovery. She shares the deeply personal moment she finally brought her struggle into the light with her husband—and how that act of vulnerability ushered in a new season of hope and healing. Listeners struggling with their own cycles of shame, secrecy, or body-image battles will find comfort, challenge, and encouragement in Jen's passionate, faith-filled story. This episode also explores practical wisdom for those walking through recovery, the essential difference between conviction and shame, and how to trust God even when it feels impossible. If you’re ready for a conversation packed with honesty, grace, and actionable hope—listen in as Jen and Heather go deep, get real, and remind us that freedom is possible, no matter how long you’ve struggled. Jen Lilley's story of her 15-year battle with bulimia will encourage your faith and help you find your own healing and recovery through Jesus. **Why Listen?** - Hear the *real story* behind Jen’s journey through bulimia—far beyond Hollywood glitz- Find hope and faith-based encouragement for overcoming shame and secret struggles- Learn about the difference between conviction and shame—and why it matters for true healing- Be inspired by Jen’s hard-won lessons: how vulnerability and trust can unlock your path to freedom Don’t miss this episode—it could be the reminder you or a loved one needs that hope and healing *are possible*. **Resources Mentioned**- Jen’s new devotional: Wake Up Your Faith (amazon affiliate link -tiny portion of your purchase supports this ministry)- 40-Day Journey at improvebodyimage.com Tune in now and share this powerful conversation with someone who needs it!

What's up, dudes? Ever get sideswiped by a song you thought was just a vibe? Chad and Laura Wonsik are with me to talk Dan Fogelberg's 1980 quietly devastating holiday classic “Same Old Lang Syne”! It's definitely a Christmas song that sneaks up on you with feelings.Set on a snowy Christmas Eve, the autobiographical song tells the story of a chance encounter between old lovers in a grocery store. There's small talk, six-packs, and a late-night bar confession where life didn't quite turn out the way either of them planned. They toast “the innocence we lost,” share one last connection, and then drift back into their separate lives without a Hallmark-esque ending.Musically, it's deceptively simple. The verses move gently through familiar I–vi–V chords, giving the story a conversational, almost spoken feel. Then the refrain shifts to vi–IV–V, lifting just enough to underline the emotional weight without ever becoming sentimental. It's soft rock storytelling at its finest: restrained, adult, and painfully human.Grocery store meet-cute? Check. Beer-fueled confession? Yep. Emotional gut punch disguised as background music? Absolutely. So grab your winter coat, hum along quietly, and relive one of the most honest Christmas songs ever written with this episode on Dan Fogelberg's “Same Old Lang Syne.”Give us a buzz! Send a text, dudes!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!

Zach Abraham from Bulwark Capital joins the Chicks to break down the chaos of “bro finance” on social media and why confidence is not the same thing as competence. They talk bad investing advice, the danger of certainty, why quick money promises are always a red flag, and how young people can actually set themselves up to win long term. Bottom line: ditch the ego, ignore the charlatans, and build real wealth the boring, disciplined way. Register now for the free “New Year Reset” webinar Jan 29.

First off, the weekly peeves: annoying ways of talking and slamming doors! Then Amelia loses her mind a little bit after observing online fandom and how wrong it is, specifically what she saw while falling down a Stranger Things rabbithole. Then things take a Hallmark turn because Pitney is a huge fan of the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, and Amelia's dad can't get enough of those Hallmark romance movies. And before you know it, it's all about memories of the Labyorteaux brothers and the appropriateness, or lack of, of thinking a teenage boy is cute.

You'll learn why Suno makes better bumpers than most radio stations, why New York and California are luxury theme parks for the top 1%, and why living in Texas is basically economic air superiority.

Send us a textThis week on Love on the Pod, we're diving into The Christmas Baby, starring Ali Liebert and Katherine Barrell — a Hallmark holiday mystery that asks the very important question: what if your entire life pivoted because of a baby at Christmas?We unpack the twists, the small-town vibes, the slightly chaotic timelines and the emotional weight this movie carries while still wrapping everything up in a cozy Hallmark bow. From Ali Liebert doing what she does best (grounded, heartfelt and quietly compelling) to Katherine Barrell bringing warmth and intrigue, we talk through what worked, what confused us and what moments actually surprised us.We also dig into the themes of chosen family, identity and how the past has a way of showing up right when you think you've moved on — plus whether this one leans more holiday comfort watch or light Christmas mystery with feelings.Grab your hot cocoa (or wine), because this one gave us plenty to discuss.

Mazel Morons! It's another immaculate Monday and the Good Guys are officially topical… allegedly. We're kicking off 2026 with a wide-ranging, unhinged conversation that somehow becomes spiritual along the way. From Ben's shocking courtside experience at a Miami Heat game to Josh's Costco gas-line confrontation that turns into a full-blown moral reckoning, we break down why Florida might secretly be the best place to live, how New York keeps making life harder for no reason, and why hospitality actually matters. We also weigh in on celebrity mom group drama, the rise of “Hallmark hunks,” GLP-1 stigma , and the strange comfort of realizing your salad might be worse than your sandwich. Plus, the first Moron Mail of the year delivers real relationship advice, questionable hypotheticals, and a reminder that some questions truly shouldn't be asked. We're topical. We're spiritual.

New episode covering the newest Hallmark movie — and this one's taking us all the way to Australia.ABOUT A MELBOURNE MATCHGeorgie, a travel writer, travels to Melbourne for an assignment where she meets Zach, an ex-Australian footballer who agrees to be her tour guide and shows her that there's more to life than work.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A MELBOURNE MATCHJanuary 10 2026 | Hallmark Movies NowCAST & CREW OF A MELBOURNE MATCHMallory Jansen as GeorgieRyan Corr as ZachBRAN'S A MELBOURNE MATCH SYNOPSISGeorgie is a travel writer who covers different cities, giving readers tips on what they should see and do. When she returns from New Orleans, her boss calls her in and asks if she's ready for her first week-long international trip… to Melbourne, Australia!When she lands, Georgie is completely exhausted—so exhausted that she buys an insane hat. Her driver is nowhere to be found, and as she wanders around in a jet-lagged haze, she nearly gets hit by a car. Luckily, the driver is hot. Even luckier? He's her driver.His name is Zach, and Georgie insists he stay on as her driver, despite the fact that he calls her “Georgie Girl.” Zach knows all the spots that really show off Melbourne, and they have an amazing time together. Georgie starts to notice that people occasionally point at them or try to take photos. Eventually, she spots a poster of Zach as an athlete, and he comes clean: he's a famous footy player who went out with an injury a few years ago. Thinking about it is still too painful, so it's easier for him to avoid the topic altogether.They continue hanging out and really hitting it off, which means it's time for Georgie to meet his family and friends. They're out in the grass looking at kangaroos when they almost kiss—but they're interrupted by soundcheck for a party. The sparks are FLYING.

In this episode, I sit down with Jay Black, a former high school teacher who took a massive leap of faith and built a successful career as a stand-up comedian, writer, and creative storyteller. Jay's journey is a powerful example of what can happen when you bet on yourself, say yes to opportunities, and stay willing to start over in pursuit of something that truly lights you up. We talk about Jay's early days teaching in the classroom while secretly chasing comedy at night, performing in small clubs around Philadelphia, and slowly building the confidence to take comedy seriously. Jay opens up about his first stand-up experiences, the uncomfortable rooms, the nights that didn't go well, and how those moments shaped his voice as a comedian. Jay shares the story behind his big break on Showtime's White Boys in the Hood and how that moment became a catalyst for leaving teaching and fully committing to life as a working comic. From there, the conversation expands into his transition into writing, including how he landed opportunities writing movies for Hallmark and Lifetime, and what it's really like behind the scenes of those productions. We also dive deep into the evolution of comedy in today's world. Jay offers a thoughtful perspective on how social media, viral clips, podcasting, and digital platforms have completely changed the game for comedians. We talk about the balance between tackling serious topics with humor, navigating cold rooms on the road, and continuously reinventing your material so you do not get stale. Beyond comedy, this episode is really about reinvention, courage, and the skill of saying yes before you feel ready. Jay shares what success looks like to him today, the daily habits that keep him grounded, and why fear is often the clearest sign you are moving in the right direction. Whether you are a creative, entrepreneur, or someone sitting on a dream you have been afraid to pursue, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about risk, growth, and what is possible when you fully commit to your craft. In This Episode, You Will Learn How Jay Black transitioned from high school teacher to full-time stand-up comedian What the early days of stand-up comedy really look like behind the scenes How performing in uncomfortable and cold rooms builds confidence and skill The story behind Jay's breakout moment on Showtime How comedians pivot into writing for Hallmark and Lifetime movies Why saying yes to opportunities can completely change your career path How social media and viral content have reshaped the comedy industry The importance of constantly reinventing your material and creative voice How to balance serious topics with humor and authenticity What success means after building a long-term creative career

Send us a textHallmark January movies are usually where joy goes to die, but  Lost in Paradise just changed the game. Hallmark stranded Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding on a tropical island in Fiji, and somehow, it resulted in the best banter I've heard in years!In this review, we're breaking down why this is Hallmark's perfect apology for years of disappointing January releases (looking at you, Love on the Right Course). We discuss the undeniable chemistry between Lacey and Ian, the surprisingly smart character writing for Sofia, and the most ridiculous "survival" details that I just couldn't stop laughing at.From the "Hallmark-style" plane crash to the pristine island fashion, find out why this movie is the perfect escape—and why we need Ian Harding in every Hallmark movie from now on.

Les, Kurt, and Jason may not be Golden Globe-nominated (this year), but that's not keeping them from being happy for having healthy relationships with exes after a breakup, just like Blac Chyna may or may not be having. Then, they dive in with the fish to swim with Hallmark's The Christmas Baby. Blame the many fish references on the stereotype-filled script that also includes lots of woodworking, a love of cats, and… the theater! In spite of the stereotypes, we're also served some new archetypes: a Paul Lynde-lite type who turns out to be nice, and a couple of mothers-in-law that are thick as thieves. So, don't live your life in fear o being afraid: instead of an Eskimo kiss, kiss your partner with the full force of your tongue as a baby is squeezed in between you.     Bluesky: lifetimeofhallmark Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Together, they dissect the real life harm caused by this story, and why adoptees need to reclaim the mic.In this episode, we cover:(01:33) Why we had to start the series with The Blind Side (03:26) Savior narratives, selective memory, and how adopters used this film as “family time” (07:17) Hallmark vibes, propaganda beats, and the absurd plot construction (10:08) IQ scores, protectiveness tests, and the racist assumptions they reinforce (14:18) Control vs. care, and how Leigh Anne's character weaponizes both(20:20) Black bodies as tools: protector, athlete, project (23:44) Christianity, purity culture, and domination masked as discipline (30:51) Queer families, carceral systems, and why inclusion isn't liberation(36:24) “Do you have a mother?” and how the film dehumanizes Michael's mom (40:26) Ole Miss, Confederate nostalgia, and performative progress (46:10) Final takeaways: who gets to tell the story—and why it mattersCall To Action:Subscribe to Adoptees Crossing Lines wherever you listen to podcasts.

Have you ever stood in your kitchen, listening to your kids scream at each other, and thought: "A good parent wouldn't have kids like this. Did I screw them up?" How about the holidays with family? Was it like a Hallmark movie, or were there disagreements and fights? Did you feel a little helpless and wonder if you failed your family? Today we're going to talk about this feeling, because if you've ever asked it, you're not alone. Somewhere along the way, most of us started believing a lie: our kids are our report card. If they turn out well, we pass. If they struggle, fight, or walk away, we failed.

Bob Saenz shares a rare, honest look at what it means to build a long-term career as both an actor and screenwriter. From his early days in theater and television to writing studio films and Hallmark movies, Bob's journey emphasizes craft over shortcuts. He explains how his time acting on Nash Bridges became a hands-on education in filmmaking, shaping his approach to writing realistic dialogue, authentic scenes, and story-driven scripts.The conversation also explores the dangers of ego, the myths of overnight success, and why breaking screenwriting “rules” can sometimes be the smartest move. Bob discusses how networking is about relationships—not transactions—and why patience is the most underrated skill in Hollywood. His story is a grounded, experience-driven roadmap for writers who want careers that last, not just scripts that sell once.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Happy 2026, listeners! To kick off the new year, we're sharing something special: Austen Chat's first episode recorded in front of a live audience. Jane Austen lived during a remarkably dynamic period of British history and was well aware of the forces shaping her world—colonial expansion, booming global trade, revolutions in Europe and the Americas, and yes, slavery and the abolition movement. It was also a world that included people of color whose lives were far richer and more influential and varied than often assumed today. In this episode, we talk with author Vanessa Riley, who is eager to share their stories. Join us as we discuss Miss Lambe—Austen's mixed-race heiress in Sanditon—and meet some notable Black figures from Austen's time, such as Dorothy Kirwan Thomas, who was born enslaved but went on to build a Caribbean business empire. Vanessa also shares some of her experiences behind the scenes (and on the screen!) of the 2024 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility as Hallmark's historical consultant. Dr. Vanessa Riley is the author of over 25 novels across across the genres of historical fiction, romance, and mystery, including a trio of books based on the true stories of extraordinary women during the Regency era: Island Queen, Queen of Exiles, and Sister Mother Warrior. Her works spotlight hidden narratives of Black women and women of color. Vanessa was the historical consultant for Hallmark's 2024 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility and the 2024 Georgia Mystery/Detective Author of the Year for Murder in Drury Lane. With a doctorate in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and other engineering degrees from Penn State, she brings a research-oriented approach to her inclusive storytelling about the Caribbean and the Georgian and Regency eras. For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep31.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

At the start of a new year, what are the signs that our faith needs reawakening, not just refreshing? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, actress, author, and faith-driven creator Jen Lilley invites us to wake back up in our walk with Jesus. She's known for her work in film and television, and if you're a Hallmark movie fan you'll definitely recognize her- she's in some of my Christmas favorites. But here today, Jen opens up about the moment her faith became real at just nine years old, and how that early encounter with God shaped everything that followed. From navigating addiction and recovery, to wrestling with Scripture, conviction, and calling, Jen shares the behind-the-scenes journey that led to writing her devotional Wake Up Your Faith. This episode isn't about performative Christianity or checking religious boxes. It's about conviction over guilt, truth over comfort, and choosing an active relationship with God in a culture that often drifts into spiritual autopilot. Jen's story is raw, grounded, and refreshingly honest — especially for anyone who's ever wondered if there's more to faith than routine, rules, or surface-level belief. If you've felt spiritually tired, distant, or unsure how you got there… this episode is an invitation — not to strive harder, but to reconnect deeper. Waking up your faith is the ultimate 'know better' for kicking off this new year. 

It's a brand-new year on Hallmark, and we're kicking off 2026 with a tropical twist. Today, we're diving into Lost in Paradise.ABOUT LOST IN PARADISEWhen the founder of a high-end fashion company gets marooned on a “deserted” island with a chef, romance blossoms as they work together to survive.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR LOST IN PARADISEJanuary 3 2026 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF LOST IN PARADISELacey Chabert as SophiaIan Harding as MaxBRAN'S LOST IN PARADISE SYNOPSISSophia runs a high-end fashion company and, surprisingly, doesn't suck as a person. Unfortunately, her ex-husband — who is also an investor — wants out. He's ready to cash in while the company is still hot.Max is a talented chef who can't seem to break out, despite being incredible at his job. He tried opening his own restaurant a few years ago, but it failed, and now he works for another chef who takes credit for everything Max creates.There's one ultra-wealthy person in all of Fiji that both Sophia and Max want to pitch for funding.Max's buddy happens to be a private jet pilot, so he offers to get Max to Fiji. What he doesn't mention is that Max will have to work the flight as a flight attendant. The passenger? Sophia.They actually hit it off on the flight — until they fly into a massive storm and crash-land. Honestly, they both handle it shockingly well. With nothing to do but survive, they start opening up about their lives. Things are going fine… until they wake up the next morning and realize all their belongings — including the snacks — have been washed out to sea.The pilot and co-pilot head out to find civilization. They succeed, but can't figure out how to get back to the original island.Max catches a fish and cooks a delicious meal, because of course he does. Stranded life turns out to be kind of amazing. They grow even closer, and when Sophia injures her foot, Max gets the perfect excuse to carry her and take care of her.While exploring more of the island, they spot smoke in the distance. Fire! Civilization! They investigate and discover a campsite — they're saved! Except Max is convinced they're pirates, so they panic and run.There's swinging. There's heroic escaping. There's a celebratory kiss.Except… they didn't actually escape. The “pirates” catch up to them and reveal they're not pirates at all — they work for a resort. Yes. There is a fully operational resort on the island.They're taken to the resort, where Sophia's team is waiting for her. She immediately dives back into work but promises Max they'll stay in touch. Soon, she realizes she doesn't want to live that way anymore. She takes a step back from work, tells Max how she feels, and they kiss. Big ones.Cut to one year later: Max has opened his own restaurant, Sophia has found balance, and they're happily together.

She also shares why being single is her current glow-up: no emotional management, no long-distance stress, just peace, vibes, and group chats. They wrap with a goofy round of “Flabby or Fab,” shout out to Caitlin's upcoming shows, and agree that a Zingerman's sandwich in Ann Arbor is non-negotiable!Jared is on tour!

"Mom, romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off, piece by piece.'" - Lisa Simpson In what's probably the worst episode of The Simpsons—or at least the biggest waste of time—the family recounts stories of love and loss via 16 clips and/or clip packages. Come for the jokes you've already laughed at, stay for roughly five minutes of new animation, and leave knowing this production somehow occupies valuable space in the otherwise incredibly solid season six.

Mailbag Monday lands in the weird, snack-filled limbo between Christmas and New Year's, and Jared proudly reminds you that while other podcasts are “resting,” Uncle J Train is still clocking in. He tackles a Hallmark-level dilemma about crushing on a cute, ring-free optometrist and how to shoot your shot without turning it into a LinkedIn crime scene. Then he breaks down the “fifth date shut down” question and why silence afterward can actually be a helpful answer for both people. The episode takes a surprisingly sweet turn with a one-year-later follow-up from a listener who finally said “I love you” after a divorce—and it worked—sending Jared into full sentimental mode. It's equal parts dating advice, gentle pep talk, and holiday-season camaraderie.Jared is on tour!

When screenwriter Russell Hainline first moved to L.A., his goal was to write high-budget monster movies and thrillers. Then one day, he was prompted to write a Hallmark holiday rom-com, and something clicked. In this special holiday episode, Russell talks about his breakout Netflix hit Hot Frosty and how he found his groove writing movies for the Hallmark Channel. He also gets to the heart of why people connect to these movies and explains how he's able to convey steamy sexual tension between chaste TV movie characters.  This episode was produced by Cameron Drews.
