My special guest tonight is author John Kachuba here to discuss his book Haunted Illinois. Get the book Visit his website Lock the doors, draw the curtains, and light a candle as you join author John Kachuba on a guided tour of Illinois's most terrifyingly haunted places. Your hair-raising journey will take you to: • Old State Capital, Springfield -- Lincoln lay in state here before his burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery. Could his ghost haunt the spot where his body lay? • Harpo Studios, Chicago -- When the Eastland steamer capsized in 1915, the building served as a temporary morgue. Oprah's employees have encountered the ghosts of the victims, including the "Gray Lady" who floats through the halls. • And many more scary sites. Maps and travel information are provided to every haunted location for those brave enough to make the journey in person.

In March 2001, I was granted a five-day opportunity to be locked in a room on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Dr. Phil McGraw and 41 other human beings, from around the country, for five days, in The Get Real Challenge. The 42 of us were filmed from morning to night even while we were just interacting with one another, on an informal basis, outside of Harpo Studios. Those five days felt like a lifetime and by the time we were preparing to head home, I had transformed into someone else…who was ready to bring my creative side out of hiding so it could live and breathe real air. At the end of that journey, myself and the other 41 human beings who were participating in the experiment, were required to make a written contractual declaration about who we'd evolved into after spending time with Dr. Phil. In this episode, I'll share my declaration and reveal how it and HSD are helping me to navigate the restless waters flowing through my life right now. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/patternsandpossibilities/message

In this podcast Eckhart talks to an audience in Chicago. He recalls fond memories of traveling to the Windy City to Harpo Studios back in 2008. For 10 weeks Eckhart and I hosted a webinar based on his New York Times bestselling book A New Earth. The book had a profound impact on me, and I wanted to share it with a larger audience. Those sessions were groundbreaking. Since then, millions of people have downloaded that webcast and listened to our conversations. If you haven't already, you really should. I believe rolling back the ego and focusing on being rather than doing opened the door to awakening for me and for many. Today, Eckhart continues his work ever reminding us that our experience of life is not determined by what happens to us it's defined by how we respond.Want more podcasts from OWN?

In this episode, we hear how Ivy Newman developed her passion for entrepreneurship as a young child. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, she grew up in a strong religious household, her mom a deacon in the local church. Ivy describes what it was like living immersed in black excellence and attending schools led by black teachers and principals, with a majority black student population. She discusses how her concept and model of giving back developed, and how her reverence for elders—especially a gentleman by the name of Thomas Cannon, whose influence has endured to this day—has helped shape her life. Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios honored her in her childhood for her generosity; she talks about that, and shares about her time at Oberlin College and Columbia University. Before closing, she offers business and entrepreneur tips for those coming up.

DAVID OSMOND has show business in his genes. As part of the world famous OSMOND FAMILY, David has carried on this iconic entertainment legacy with some incredible successes while overcoming great challenges. David began performing at age 4, and was discovered by Bob Hope as the Lead Singer of The Osmond's 2nd Generation; a group comprised of Alan Osmond's sons. David's career has included tours to sold-out arenas in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, contracts with both Curb Records and Epic/Sony, and 4 songs in the top 40 in the U.K. As a BROADWAY theatrical artist, He took over for famous uncle Donny, starring in the lead role of JOSEPH in Andrew Lloyd Webber's, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with five separate companies. David was featured on FOX's hit TV show AMERICAN IDOL. He tours consistently as a guest artist alongside his aunt Marie Osmond, and has also recently performed alongside artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Eagles, Steven Tyler, and Earth Wind & Fire, and also performed onstage at venues ranging from London's Wembley Arena to Harpo Studios for Oprah. A shocking Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis forced David to put his musical career on hold for a time, but his inspiring physical battle to return to the stage has made him an award-winning symbol of hope to the MS Community. He continues to inspire as a music artist and motivational speaker. A recent single of David's, I CAN DO THIS, debuted on FUSE's Top 20 Countdown, and has touched the lives of millions. Now, as the EMMY-nominated new host of the legendary TV program WONDERAMA, David is excited to introduce and explore a world filled with wonder for a future generation of kids and their families. He also appears each week as one of the hosts of Fresh Living, a lifestyle TV show on Utah's number one station, CBS KUTV Channel Two. On the music front, he has just launched an exciting new big band project called, The Osmond Chapman Orchestra (OCO). The newly-released debut album on SONY and Universal Records also broke into the top 5 on iTunes. Joining forces with award-winning band-leader Caleb Chapman, and the region's hottest musicians, he puts on an electrifying performance spanning the crooner classics to the music of today. They are defining the NEW American Songbook! As a business professional, David is currently the Utah Market President of TribeHouse; an exclusive business program designed to build high-level relationships between Utah's top business leaders. Being a versatile entertainer, music artist, TV show host, keynote speaker, and business leader, David is immensely thankful for the incredible opportunities he's had throughout his career of life-changing experiences. David is extremely grateful for his fan's support and loves to interact with them via social media. Above all, David considers his GREATEST treasure to be his sweet wife, Valerie, their two beautiful daughters, Saffron and Azalea, and son, Everest.

Marni speaks with professional storyteller, World-class Producer, and Founder and CEO of The Support System, Sheri Salata during this episode of the Life Check Yourself podcast. In her past life, she was the Executive Producer of the Oprah show and President of Harpo Studios. Sheri shares the keys to manifesting the life of your dreams and how to call in what is next for you from her memoir, The Beautiful No: And Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence, and Transformation.   Key takeaways from this episode:  Grieving disappointment Soothing the over-busy mind Tuning into the divine feminine Following spirit to discover your true purpose   How-to Free Yourself [3:22] For 20-years, Sheri ran one of the most beloved brands in the world, Oprah. When the gig ended she had to strip away her identity to transform into an entrepreneur. Describing the process, Sheri says, when the thing that has defined you changes you have to decide who you are without it. It was her middle-of-life-reckoning.  Being someone else's mother, right-hand-gal, wife, etc. is not enough. Women need to sit with themselves to discover who they want to be. It will summon you. We can all get caught up in falling apart in our own way. But our soul speaks to us. We just need to pay attention.  To go to the next level of reckoning, Sheri placed her hands on her heart, spoke to herself in her most tender voice, and said ‘no matter what you find it will be ok'.  Most women have no idea what kind of rut they are in, but when you turn on the lights the freedom starts to shine in.           A Beautiful No [15:57] In Sheri's book, The Beautiful No: And Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence and Transformation she describes how all the no's she received in her life led her to the moment when the universe conspired with her.  If you can convince yourself that every rejection, every betrayal, and every no you have received is pushing you in a different direction you become open to the greatness you deserve. Sheri shares an example of when she got a 'no' on a job she really wanted. Shortly after,  she got a call from the Oprah show. Look back at your life and find your beautiful no's and then put your hands on your heart and be curious when something doesn't turn out the way you wanted.  Accept what happens in life then tune into your spiritual self and await the next surprise.  Two hacks that make it easier to accept the no's you receive: There is a grief you must allow between what you hope for and what has happened.  Meditation helps. Start a breathing and mantra practice.    Following Your Spirit to Find Your Purpose [26:04] Sheri reminds us that there is no such thing as work/life balance because the concept of balance is basically to tip over and come back to center. Eliminate the words in your life that are not in your favor such as have to and no choice.  Start listening to signals that confirm you are on your divine path in your work and finding your purpose. Sheri says she had no idea she was going to do everything she does today that drives revenue one year ago. And, to top it off, she loves everything she does. Her life is lining up as it is supposed to because she is following her spirit.   Set yourself free in your own mind about what is possible for yourself. Stir your dream pot and tune into your divine feminine.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

I will be speaking about how Leadership showed me how to be my authentic self, or some would say vulnerability. I was going to talk about how great leaders like, Steve Jobs, Apple, Ginni Rometty, IBM, Bill Gates, Microsoft, and Oprah Winfrey, Harpo Studios and how they lead their companies. However, the more I thought about it, the more I was understanding that we don't really talk about the vulnerability of leadership, and how that affects you as a leader. Let me introduce myself, I am Dawn Long, a Motivational and Leadership speaker and a Mindset Coach, from Anderson, MO. As we talk about leadership today, I want you to understand that your personal life, professional life, and school life are all intertwined. I experienced very difficult times where I felt like a failure as a mother, wife, and leader. But it was really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is what leads me to learn, and grow from some inspirational moments in my life. And to really understand what it meant to show my human side. At the end of the day, it is about learning from those experiences and sharing your story with others.

“You live a very, very different life when early on you begin to see that self-care is not extra credit. It's not that spa treatment you treat yourself to once a year. Self-care is constantly evaluating if something is good for you or not—if something feels good to you or not.”   — Sheri Salata, Ep101. The Monica Kade podcast  Joining me today is Sheri Salata, writer-producer, Co-host of the podcast The Sheri + Nancy Show and Co-founder of thepillarlife.com. She's had an impressive career working as the executive producer on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and also served as co-president of Harpo Studios and OWN.   My path crossed with Sheri's virtually at first. A little while back, I was listening to Marie Forleo's podcast, and it was the episode with Sheri. I hadn't read the intro to learn about who she was at the time, I merely pressed play on the episode. After a good 15 or so minutes into the conversation, Sheri started talking about her career path, that her career didn't really take off until her 30s. My ears pricked up and I thought to myself, ‘Who is this woman?'  That's when I knew I had to get Sheri on The Monica Kade podcast. I resonated so deeply with that message, having struggled through my 20s with knowing what I wanted to do—and the constant chop and change. "What the world needs from you, is for you to be so filled with joy that it's literally coming out of your pores.”   — Sheri Salata, Ep101. The Monica Kade podcast I was genuinely thrilled when Sheri agreed to come on the show. Her story of The Beautiful No serves as a reminder that there's always a bigger picture unfolding. Often we don't see it. And, when we feel like we're getting the (beautiful) 'No'—let's not give up hope. We must not give up on our dreams. In fact, it's a moment to dive deeper and stay true to the vision that burns in our heart. This woman is a bundle of joy. Her warmth and candid nature make you feel like you're hanging out with a dear friend. I feel honored to have had the chance to sit down with Sheri, share some laughs and some wisdoms, that you too get to hear. I hope you enjoy the conversation. She's an absolute delight of a woman. May you walk away knowing that you CAN live the life of your dreams! LEARN ABOUT Who Sheri saw herself as in the world and what her approach to life was like as a child What Sheri's life looked like working at The Oprah Winfrey Show What aspects of herself she neglected during her career at OWN Why your mindset, surrounding environment and social circle impact the life of your dreams—and how to ensure they're a support not a hindrance The greatest thing Sheri learned about herself writing the book Why you must foster self-care before you can live the life of your dreams We explore the beautiful question and why it's important to ask yourself, ‘Where do I want to go?' What steps to take if you feel like you have the career of your dreams, but not the life of your dreams. Why it's okay if you haven't got the dream career in your 30s, 40s, or 50s—and what to do about it.   SIGNATURE QUESTIONS What scares Sheri? What's her greatest asset? What's the best piece of wisdom Sheri's acquired through life experience or (through someone else) that she lives by?  BUY YOUR COPY OF SHERI'S BOOK HERE.

Sheri realized her soul was instructing her to find meaning in the work. She believes work needs to answer a deeper call. She was on a quest to find the kind of work that lit her up and provided a deeper layer of meaning.   We also discuss building resilience, creating happiness for yourself and committing to self-care. You are the only one in charge of your happiness. Happiness is not something someone else can give you. Make happiness your compass.
