Life moves pretty fast. 4 years ago today, I was meeting Kate Butler for the first time. And today, with 28 other beautiful souls, we shared Dear Younger Self with the world - and it's already a #1 Best Seller! ❤️ Thank you so much for your support. I certainly didn't know this is where my life was heading when I sat in that room, nervously. I was just learning how to survive in this world without Jim. Who am I kidding? I'm still learning. But I have these women in my life, by my side, every single day to help me figure it out. And yesterday was a tough one. Some of you might remember that I had major back surgery a month before Jim passed away. Stemming from a car accident that I was in 8 days before our wedding. That was impossible to go through with Jim. So when I found out yesterday that I have to do more than physical therapy. More than acupuncture. I was FULL of emotions. Because I don't know how I'm supposed to do all this without Jim. If you haven't already, Join Team Ruthless.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Angela Williamson and today I share how self-care contributes to my happiness.    Transcript:   Hey there. You're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm taking over. I'm Angela Williamson. And Katie asked me this question, how does self care contribute to your happiness?    We should learn a lot about self care and the importance of it, especially with everything that we've been through the last few years. Self care is important and it's not wrong. So what things have I learned to do that helped me move forward to continue with happiness?   In an earlier episode, I talked about my lowest point and where I had to chase my happiness. But you know why I had to chase my happiness? It wasn't just the things that were happening around me, but because I lost the importance of self care.   With all of my happiness journey and the things that I've been sharing with you, I learned the importance of self care. So what do I do?   I actually have a group of friends I call my Zumba buddies, and I do Zumba. Now, I do actually stay in the back, and people think that's so funny that I'm always in the back, because most of my legacy has been spent talking about Rosa Parks and books.   But there's a reason why. It took me a little while to get coordinated to do Zumba. But it really helped. And it wasn't just the exercise. I mean, exercise is important, but it's the relationship that I've been able to form with the most beautiful women and some men in that group.   And so I want to encourage all of you to do something that is in the realm of self care. It may not be Zumba. It may be walking, which I also do. I do that with my husband, and we did that during the pandemic. And there's nothing to strengthen a relationship than to be on a self care journey with the people that you love.   So it is okay. And if you've forgotten a little bit about self care over the last few months and that happens, go back to it and let Katie know what your self care routine is, because we always want to hear from you.   I can't believe this week has gone by so fast. Thanks so much for listening all week, but catch another episode of Everyday Happiness tomorrow, because I know something wonderful will be there for you. Take care.   About Dr. Angela Williamson:    Angela Sadler Williamson, PhD, is a #1 international best-selling author, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, multiple Telly awards recipient, and former producer and copywriter for major broadcast TV and cable news networks.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Angela Williamson and today I share what I'm doing now that brings me happiness.     Transcript:   Hey there, you're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm Angela Williamson taking over again.   I'm so excited. And Katie asked me this question, what do you do now that brings happiness? What is your big thing?   Well, my big thing now is being an encourager encouraging others. And I am so excited, so blessed to have the platform to do that on Everybody With Angela Williamson.   I am finding these ordinary people all over and I find that they do extraordinary things and I get to highlight those extraordinary things on the show. And that's so important because I find that I get the greatest satisfaction out of elevating others.   Don't you find that too? And I always heard that advice, I don't know about you, but I am in communications and sometimes in communications you get laid off and you thought what am I going to do? I don't have a job. I need to find another job. But I heard this one time that even if you don't have a job, maybe volunteer. Learn to give time to others because what it does is it strengthens you.   And I kept that in the back of my mind. And so when I'm out and I hear people's stories, I want to encourage them and give them a little bit of a platform to share what they do and that life is all about encouraging others.   Reverend Early said this in my documentary, My Life with Rosie. "We are not all going to be here forever". But you know what will be here forever is how we encourage others and how we support others. So that's what really brings me the biggest happiness. And I do think that's what I was prepared to do.   And so my question to you is think about that. What do you do now that brings you happiness? What is your big thing? And don't be shy about it, let us know because when you tell us now, just like I told you, you are helping someone else. And that's all about what this podcast is for and that's why I'm so honored to be part of it.   I don't know what's happening. I eel like I'm on a roll with this fantastic audience. But hey, I'm not done yet. I will be back tomorrow for another episode. I'm here all week, can't wait to chat with you next.   About Dr. Angela Williamson:    Angela Sadler Williamson, PhD, is a #1 international best-selling author, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, multiple Telly awards recipient, and former producer and copywriter for major broadcast TV and cable news networks.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 231: Mulholland Drive Released 19 October 2022 For this episode, we watched the 2001 David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux, Robert Forster and Ann Miller. This film began life as a TV pilot and was eventually repurposed by Lynch as a one-off feature film. It was suggested by Patreon supporter Joel Aarons, made it on to our shortlist and came top of our Patreon poll, by a narrow margin. https://crooked.com/podcast/bros-dont-prefer-blonde-w-isabella-rossellini/ Brand New Cherry Flavor https://youtu.be/wOzM3c33TVg Mel Gibson interview https://youtu.be/PdYjnIDfi9Q David Lynch's sitcom https://youtu.be/YdfTQ29sca8 Mulholland Drive explained https://youtu.be/VvgRLTP3U5Y BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.
