Alicia Keys has spent nearly three decades using her voice to move the world, but the most powerful thing she's learned is how to listen to her own. The seventeen-time Grammy Award winner joins Hoda for a soulful conversation at Making Space Wellness Day at Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel about trusting your intuition, unlearning old habits, and finding stillness in a world that rarely slows down. Alicia also opens up about creating her wellness brand, Keys Soulcare, her Broadway musical Hell's Kitchen, and the peace that comes when you finally bet on yourself.

Send us a textDr. Arianna Molloy, author of "Healthy Calling: From Toxic Burnout to Sustainable Work," shares on "calling burnout" and why it hurts more than standard exhaustion. Regular burnout says, "I don't like what I'm doing anymore." Calling burnout says, "I don't know who I am anymore." To find our way back, she offers a practical, research-backed posture of healthy humility: know your strengths and weaknesses without being ruled by either; live as a learner who isn't threatened by not knowing; and practice the capacity to walk away, rest, and remember you're not God. This is not self-erasure. It's a return to sanity, a way to steward gifts without becoming indispensable to them.We also explore communication as a healing balm for homes and teams. Truthful, kind, and clear messagesāspoken, written, and nonverbalārepair trust faster than endless clarification by text. Simple rhythms like visual voice messages, shared gratitude at the table, and sabbath touchpoints keep relationships tender and resilient. Along the way, gratitude emerges as humility in action: a daily reorientation that dissolves cynicism and turns ordinary messes into moments of meaning.If you're a mom, leader, creative, or caregiver wondering how to serve without losing yourself, this conversation offers a grounded path forward.

Our thoughts are real, but not always true. This episode invites listeners to look beyond the stories the mind creates and find freedom from worry, stress, and self-doubt. Through mindfulness and gentle awareness, it offers a path to calm and clarity in uncertain moments. Listeners are encouraged to trust that every thought can be met with curiosity and compassion, opening the way to inner peace, resilience, and a deeper sense of hope for what is possible. Poem: Our Thoughts Are Real, But Not Always True Our thoughts rise like waves on an endless sea, shaping the shore of who we think we are. They rush in, fierce and convincing, pulling us into stories of what might break, what might never come, what might already be lost. They feel real because they are. They move through the body, tighten the chest, quicken the breath, stir the storm. But truth lives somewhere quieter. It waits beneath the noise, in the still water that holds every wave. It asks nothing but a pause, a single breath, a question whispered to the mind: Is this thought true? The unknown is not our enemy. It is the open sky that can let every cloud of thought drift by. Calm is not something we find, but something we remember. In the space between belief and truth, there is peace. There is possibility. And there we can be, the sky, not the storm.

A lecture given at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Sarah Chestnut Over the centuries, poets have sung praises to athletic victories, Grecian urns, and the "wild West Wind" of Autumn, and odes praising the ordinary--socks, tomatoes, drinking water from cupped hands--raise an exultant voice in contemporary poetry. The command to "praise the Lord!" is a defining feature of the Psalms, and one catechism states that to "glorify God and enjoy him forever" is the "chief end" of human life. What does it mean to praise? What does praise do? How might a richer understanding of praising inspire and equip us for the hard work of being human?

"It's seeing the bridge from a distance and saying, āThere are going to be 55,000 people that are going to traverse over that bridge from 150 countries from all over the world, and from every neighborhood in New York City.' And they've put in months of hard work. We have thousands of people that have raised millions of dollars for charity. There are people that are running for various causes that are inspiring their families, their friends, their neighborhoods, their communities. And most of all, they're inspiring the world. They're inspiring complete strangers as they run by them. And I think about that when I look at that bridge." āTed Metellus, TCS New York City Marathon Race Director Every year on the first Sunday of November, more than 55,000 runners will take over the five boroughs for one reason: the TCS New York City Marathon. This episode is your unofficial guide to the iconic 26.2-mile race. Two jam-packed hours of New York City Marathon-related information. And this episode isn't just for the marathoners: We have tips for spectators, a breakdown of how to get into the race in the future, and general advice for having your best marathon day. As for my New York City Marathon love affair: This race is my Super Bowl, my Christmas, my birthday, Valentine's Day, my favorite day of the year. It was the first marathon I ever watched, back in 2008, when I went out to cheer for a coworker who was running the race. (Thanks for the inspiration, Therese!) I've run it three times ā in 2013, 2014, and 2016 ā and volunteered once, in 2015, at a fluid station in Brooklyn. In 2017, I cheered on āFirst and Fifth,ā and in 2018, at three weeks postpartum, going to the New York City Marathon was my first outing since having a baby. I sat in the grandstands as Shalane Flanagan finished third, and pumped in a āfancyā (you know, the nice kind!) finish line porta potty. Then, in 2019, I got the best seat in the house for the first time: New York City Marathon finish line announcer. After announcing at the finish and at the Finish Line After Dark in 2019, 2021, and 2022, in 2023 I made my NYC TV debut. I joined the broadcast talent team as a reporter on the international feed, and was featured on the WABC7 local broadcast. Last year, I was on the ESPN and WABC7 broadcasts at the finish line, interviewing notables including Chelsea Clinton, Casey Neistat, Conner Mantz, Clayton Young, Sara Vaughn, Matt James, and Ilona Maher. This year: They're putting me on ESPN and ABC again! In addition to hosting a live show with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone during New York City Marathon weekend, on race day I'll be part of the ESPN2 and WABC7 broadcasts as a start and finish line reporter from 8 AM until 5 PM.

In today's episode, Sarah shares an update for the listener seeking high-contrast planner options, with products mentioned including the Marjolein Delhaas Planner from Wms&Co, Rad & Happy, and Passion Planner. Then, she shares a listener's story of ordering the Personal Planner from Sweden -- and being extremely surprised by fees (over 4x the value of the planner!). Following, Sarah gets into the concept of an Analog Fall (or an Analog 2026?) inspired by Julianna Salguero's Keepsake substack post: https://juliannasalguero.substack.com/p/how-to-have-an-analog-fall She adds to Julianna's ideas with several fun analog activities of her own, and also ponders: if we were adding tech back to our lives from scratch, what would we actually choose to partake in?

Ever feel your hobby start to feel like homework? We hit episode 150 with a full tank of mojo and a guest who knows how to keep it running. Dr. Paul Budzik joins us on the eve of his retirement after 51 years in dentistry to share a refreshingly honest blueprint for building with joy: protect inspiration, shed obligation, and stop treating your stash like a toādo list. If finishing every kit has become a guilt trip, this conversation offers the reset you need.We dig into how small workflow choices can unlock big momentum. Paul explains why returning to simple, durable siphonāfeed airbrushes lets him paint in fast, focused sprints, and how linear buildingāone solved problem at a timeākeeps him in the zone. He talks candidly about giving away kits and tools, the surprising relief that followed, and the fun of reāengineering gear to fit the way he actually works. The theme is practical and personal: optimize for flow, and the bench becomes a place you can't wait to sit.Looking forward, Paul outlines his shift toward 1/350 ship modeling. Rather than chasing every aftermarket addāon, he focuses on form, history, and design evolutionācomparing cruisers, exploring treaty constraints, and building on keel blocks for clean presentation. Along the way, he draws an important line between knowledge and skill: a video can teach a CAD commands, but blade control, masking finesse, and problemāsolving are earned at the bench. His goal on his channel is to teach thinkingāhow to define the objective, work backward, simplify, and make smarter choices with less effort.We also share highlights from the Cincinnati show, a stacked listener mailbag (from club table innovations to mirrored vs blurred bases), and quick hits from the release radar with a few buyer caveats to save you time and cash.

Food historian and acclaimed author Becky Libourel Diamond provides an exclusive look inside her spectacular new release, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook, during an in-depth interview on The Ash Said It Show. This summary is a must-read for holiday bakers and food history enthusiasts seeking to bring 19th-century elegance to their modern Christmas celebrations. The Mystery of the Sugar Plum Revealed Becky definitively solves the mystery of the legendary sugar plum. She reveals the surprising truth: these historic confections are not sugary plums, but highly prized, expensive spice-coated nuts and seeds, meticulously layered in candy. This insight reframes the sugar plum as the ultimate luxury Victorian dessert of the Gilded Age. Extravagance, Adaptations, and Chef Walter Staib When discussing Gilded Age extravagance, Becky champions incorporating the era's tradition of extended, multi-day feasts and generous hospitality into the modern holiday schedule. The most demanding recipe to update was the lengthy historic fruit cake. Her secret weapon for accurately translating complex 19th-century measurements for today's home bakers? The simple, essential digital kitchen scale. Becky shares her deep respect for fellow food historian Chef Walter Staib, who penned the book's foreword. She would love to see him prepare the grand historic roasted Christmas goose on his showāthe ultimate Gilded Age holiday centerpiece. Global Traditions and Festive Recipes Beyond Christmas, the cookbook includes Hanukkah and New Year's traditions. Becky shares a fun fact about Hanukkah: the focus on oil-fried recipes, such as perfect latkes, symbolically commemorates the miracle of the oil. For those ready to dive in, Becky recommends the Holiday Tea Cakes as the perfect festive project to start with. For the ultimate showstopper dessert at a holiday feast, she suggests the impressive, flaming Victorian Christmas Pudding. The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is the definitive guide to vintage holiday recipes and traditions, offering a blend of history and accessible Christmas cooking for every modern kitchen. Becky Libourel Diamond: The Food Historian Connecting the Past to Your Plate Becky Libourel Diamond is a uniquely accomplished food writer, librarian, and historian whose career masterfully blends rigorous historical research with captivating storytelling.

Send us a messageBecause so-called āProgressive Christianityā is rooted in relativism, its beliefs vary widely. Some progressives believe in a higher power, but deny that Jesus ever claimed to be God. Others affirm the Trinity and the sacrifice of Jesus, but reject the Bible as the complete record of the unadulterated Word of God's Truth ā and therefore is unreliable.But as Bible believing Christians, God's Holy Remnant stands on the certainty that Truth is not relative ā The Inerrant Word of God is Absolute Truth!In this segment, we contend for that Truth while exposing one of Satan's devious attempts to pervert the unadulterated Word of God ā to the demise of many who are falling prey to these deadly deceptions.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/
No matter what you do in life, do it with passion.Ā We start the fourth week of our 7-week series of quotes based on themes from my book, "Senior Salute," with four quotes on the theme of "Passion."If you don't have passion for the things you endeavor to do, you will struggle to succeed. Passion ignites us to do our best. It fires us up to go out and attack whatever it is that we are passionate about. Those with passion bring more to the experience, both for themselves and for others, and their passion is contagious. Attack your endeavors with passion, excitement, energy, and enthusiasm. Put your heart and soul into all you do and show it to the world. When that happens, nothing can stop you from becoming all that you seek to become.Ā I wrote "Senior Salute" as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give on Senior Night or at the End-of-Season Banquet. Each book is filled with quotes based on various Team Themes that, hopefully, the coaches have talked with and worked on with their teams at some point in the season.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Abigail Carter, a writer and YouTube creator who made a huge life change. Abigail lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks. She raised her two young children in Seattle. Then the pandemic hit and forced her to rethink everything. She realized she wanted a new chapter. Listen to this episode ad-free Abigail began watching videos of people renovating châteaux in France. The idea stuck. She loves travel. She loves houses. She has renovation experience. So she came to France to look at properties. At first, it felt like a fun adventure. But then she walked into a large maison de maître near Agen. It had high ceilings, old windows, caves in a cliff, and a lot of charm. Abigail made an offer the very next day. It was accepted. She found herself the owner of a twelve-bedroom home in the French countryside. Annie and Abigail talk about how to buy a property in France. They discuss inspections, banking, moving money, and dealing with renovations. They also talk about the language challenge. Abigail uses apps, Zoom lessons, and practice in daily life to improve her French. Abigail now runs creative retreats at the château. People come to sketch, write, enjoy food and wine, and discover the countryside. She has already formed a growing community around this project. Annie and Abigail share tips for anyone dreaming of a similar move. They also highlight great places to visit around Agen, including Nérac, Lectoure, Pujols, and Monflanquin. This is a story about resilience, creativity, and starting over in France. It's an inspiring reminder that you can build a new life in a new place. Join Annie and Abigail for an uplifting conversation full of practical advice and beautiful French scenery.
