Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson aren’t Hollywood’s newest couple, no matter how hard the studio’s selling it. Meanwhile, Miranda Kerr has made it crystal clear where her loyalties lie — and it’s not with ex-husband Orlando Bloom. And #ShuterScoop can confirm that wife Sharon Osbourne will inherit the entire $220 million fortune. “Ozzy left it all to Sharon,” says a family insider. Rob is joined by the charming Marc Lupo.

In this episode of "Love Stories," I had the immense pleasure of welcoming Winter, a remarkable woman whose journey through love, loss, and self-discovery is nothing short of inspiring. We dove deep into her life story, starting from her upbringing in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where she grew up as a pastor's daughter, the oldest of three girls, in a loving but modest household. Winter shared how her childhood experiences shaped her, including her early involvement in pageants and the impact of a hurtful comment about her weight that led to struggles with self-esteem and an eating disorder.Throughout our conversation, Winter emphasized the importance of self-discovery and healing. She spoke about the pivotal moment when she was hospitalized due to stress and how that experience led her to a deeper understanding of herself and her worth. With her mother's support and a newfound clarity, Winter made the courageous decision to walk away from a toxic relationship, setting the stage for her personal growth.IN THIS EPISODE:- (05:00) The Impact of a Strict Upbringing- (12:04) The Surprise of Early Motherhood- (19:09) The Heartbreak of Loss- (26:30) The Struggles of Young Marriage- (30:06) Discovering Infidelity- (46:25) The Danger of Not Knowing Your WorthRESOURCESCheck out my How to Attract Devoted Masculine Men Masterclass HERE My FREE eBook The Magnetic WomanApp rec: BumbleFeminine Embodiment HERECONNECT WITH CHARLENE On Instagram @mscharlenebyars On YouTube @chosentrainingWork with me HERECONNECT WITH WINTEROn Instagram HEREHer Links HERE

In this episode of The Love Series, host Tinatswe Mhaka sits with Chi to explore a story of love, loss of self, and survival. Chi takes us through what it meant to fall quickly and deeply — to love someone she couldn't fully recognise until it was too late. From saying yes to love, to marriage, to motherhood — and then slowly waking up to a version of herself that was no longer whole. This is a conversation about learning the difference between infatuation and care, navigating emotional manipulation and narcissism, and eventually choosing to leave — gently, powerfully, and for herself. It's a soft, honest reflection on memory, clarity, and coming home to yourself after loving someone who couldn't love you back without harm. Listen now to Chi's Story: Prefrontal Lobe Love, Infatuation & Narcissist Survival — part of our Love Series. Available on all streaming platforms.

Today I have three very special guests, my daughter, Elise Roper Younts, along with her husband, Wes, and his mom, Frieda (who's also one of my best friends!). Elise and Wes walked their own lonely journeys through singleness before finally finding each other and marrying last March. Even though for most of their lives they lived exactly 7.3 miles apart, and Wes's mom and I have been best friends for 28 years, they'd never met except in their preschool Sunday School class. You may remember Elise's story from episode 19 about how her fiancé broke off their engagement and left her heartbroken. Wes has his own testimony of 10 years of singleness and not dating after he realized he had allowed dating to become an idol for him. I introduced Frieda to you, along with Julie, in episode one. Frieda and I walked with our children through their lonely seasons of singleness and prayed for them through the difficult times. We had no way of knowing at the time, but God was working behind the scenes to draw Elise and Wes closer to Him so that He could bring them together in marriage. In this episode Frieda and I discuss the struggles of parenting single adult children and I share the prayer I wrote asking God to bring Elise a husband. Elise and Wes share their wedding vows that they wrote to one another. If you're a single adult, or the parent of a single adult, and have grown discouraged in your loneliness and feeling left out, I pray this episode will encourage you and bring hope to your journey.

Морао сам да те видим," рекао је, држећи је чврсто.En: "I couldn't take it anymore. I had to see you," he said, holding her tightly.Sr: "Знам да је било тешко. Време и даљина. Али ја бих жртвовао много више само да сам ту."En: "I know it was hard. Time and distance. But I would sacrifice much more just to be here."Sr: Бранко је све гледао са стране, задовољан што је успео да помогне.En: Branko watched everything from the side, pleased he could help.Sr: Милош и Јелена су седели заједно, гледајући светла града која су се полако укључивала.En: Miloš and Jelena sat together, watching the city lights slowly turn on.Sr: Тада су разговарали о свему.En: They talked about everything.Sr: О проблему комуникације, временским зонама и како ће од сада поставити нова правила у вези.En: About the communication issues, time zones, and how they would set new rules in their relationship from now on.Sr: Средина лета у Београду била је идеална за њихово поновно повезивање.En: The middle of summer in Beograd was perfect for their reconnection.Sr: Обeћали су једно другом да ће бити искренији и да ће се увек борити за своју љубав, без обзира на километре који стоје између њих.En: They promised each other to be more honest and to always fight for their love, regardless of the miles between them.Sr: После дугог разговора, пронашли су нову снагу.En: After a long conversation, they found new strength.Sr: Милош је научио да није увек довољно само бити физички присутан; важно је и бити пажљив и ту, у срцу и мислима.En: Miloš learned that it's not always enough to just be physically present; it's important to be attentive and present in heart and mind.Sr: У овом веома специфичном амбијенту Калемегдана, са речним ветровима који чине јутро, они су обећали једно другом да више никада неће дозволити да их време раздвоји.En: In this very specific atmosphere of Kalemegdan, with river winds making the morning, they promised each other that they would never again allow time to separate them.Sr: Лето на Калемегдану завршило се са много смеха и наде.En: The summer at Kalemegdan ended with much laughter and hope.Sr: Недалеко, Бранко је седео на другој клупи, осмехујући се нечујно.En: Not far away, Branko sat on another bench, smiling silently.Sr: Тврђава је задржала њихове тајне и смех, баш као што ће и Сава и Дунав наставити да теку, носећи њихове наде и снова у недоглед.En: The fortress held their secrets and laughter, just as the Sava and Danube would continue to flow, carrying their hopes and dreams into the infinite.

This week Melanie and I ponder the reality of technically being old enough to be grandmothers (we know it's a wonderful thing, but we're just not there yet) - which really makes Melanie's tale of her recent wedge-adjacent injury all the more timely (and perhaps painful). We also discuss some of the highlights of last week's SEC Media Days as well as the delight that is the new Billy Joel documentary. On top of all of that, it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Send us a textA few years ago I wrote a book entitled Forgotten Saints: A Pioneer Story of Those Who Lived and Died without a Trace. In this episode I share an excerpt from Chapter 10 of that book. It's a story about how I imagined two young people falling in love in Nauvoo. That love story led to the birth of Valerian Russell, the sole survivor of his family who completed the trek across the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. Both his parents died and were buried on the plains, as were both of his siblings. It's a love story during a time of extreme trial. Hope you like it. __________________________Do you have questions or comments?Please contact me: rtosguthorpe@gmail.comWant more info about my books and talks?Go to my website: https://www.russelltosguthorpe.com/Want to order a book?

Send us a textToday, I'm joined by my longtime friend Mike Mizrahi—yes, we go way back. Mike's career took him from an undergraduate degree in journalism to a Master's in corporate communication. He had a career as a corporate spokesperson, but his real passion found its home in writing historical fiction. And his latest novel, The Weight of Loyalty, is a great achievement. I read it with great interest; a powerful, rich exploration of the perils of wartime on the Greek Isles.It's a sweeping story of love, sacrifice, and moral conflict, set against the backdrop of World War II on the Greek island of Kefalonia. Inspired by the real-life survival story of Royal Navy seaman John Capes, Mike weaves the tale of Oliver Graham, a British submariner, and Natalía Giannatos, a Greek woman whose life is touched by war, love, and spiritual searching. Think James Michener meets Ernest Hemingway—with a splash of Greek wine and Orthodox mysticism.We discuss why historical fiction matters, what drew Mike to this particular time and place, and how personal research—a research tour on the island of Kefalonia—shaped every detail from the rugged landscape to the local cuisine to miracle-working monks.But this isn't just a war story. It's a love story on many levels—and a deeply reflective one at that. Mike wrestles with big questions: the cost of conscience, the meaning of faith, and what it really means to be loyal.If you've ever wondered how fiction can serve as therapy—or how an author channels personal values into imagined worlds—this conversation's for you.

In this exciting episode of "Love Stories," I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Kylie, a successful entrepreneur and owner of a marketing agency. From the moment we started, it was clear that Kylie's journey is filled with serendipitous moments and valuable life lessons that resonate deeply with our audience of successful women navigating love and relationships.The highlight of our conversation was Kylie's love story with her now-husband, which began in a rather unexpected way. After a humorous exchange on Twitter, they connected, and she candidly shared her initial confusion about his intentions. Their first date was a delightful mix of mini-golf and casual conversation, but it took a surprising turn when he expressed doubts about pursuing a relationship. Kylie's thoughtful response to his concerns showcased her emotional intelligence and willingness to take the high road.IN THIS EPISODE:- (05:49) Kylie's Early Influences and Family Background- (14:01) The Shift in Kylie's Perspective on Friendships- (20:41) Kylie's First Serious Relationship- (30:31) The Unexpected Text After the Date- (35:30) Reconnecting After a Month Apart- (39:56) Kylie's Relationship MilestonesRESOURCESCheck out my How to Attract Devoted Masculine Men Masterclass HERE My FREE eBook The Magnetic WomanApp rec: BumbleFeminine Embodiment HERECONNECT WITH CHARLENE On Instagram @mscharlenebyars On YouTube @chosentrainingWork with me HERECONNECT WITH KYLIEOn Instagram HEREHer Links HERE

In this episode, host Tinatswe Mhaka sits with Dorothy, a queer Zimbabwean woman, to talk about what it means to love deeply in a world that makes no room for that love. Dorothy shares her story of finding intimacy, connection, and care with someone whose family could not accept the relationship because of her sexuality. This conversation explores what it feels like to be loved, but not welcomed. What it means to lose a relationship because of homophobia and family pressure. And how we carry love after it ends — not as something broken, but as something we can still honour and learn from. Together, Tinatswe and Dorothy reflect on grief, longing, survival, and the quiet power of choosing to live openly in the aftermath of loss. Listen and follow us wherever you get your podcasts.

This week on The Creep Dive, it's a buffet of the bizarre: severed toes in ritual boxes, piglets with faces, and the return of the man who shagged a seagull. Jen relives her worm trauma, Cassie makes a public service announcement for maggot fans, and Sophie shares the story of the woman who took a metal-core butt plug into an MRI machine... with disastrous results. We've got baby pigs washing up in the Philippines with faces, lobsters in Air Max, skeletons in wetsuits, and a skipping cat man terrorizing a UK beach town. Plus: a feel-good Aussie lotto tale with an actual twist ending that'll have you questioning the laws of luck.All that, and lots (and lots) of bum talk.

What happens when the wounds of Partition run deeper than history books will ever reveal? In this episode, Reenita Hora joins Tara to discuss her searing historical novel Vermilion Harvest, set against the haunting backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Through the fearless, curious eyes of protagonist Aruna, Reenita brings alive an often forgotten chapter of colonial brutality and the emotional legacy it left behind. They talk about the silencing of trauma, mixed-race identity, interfaith love, and how historical fiction can give voice to the stories that official narratives erase. Reenita also shares her journey to being an author and the exciting ways in which the book might find new life through music, theatre, or film.With equal parts heart and history, this episode explores the tension between legacy and liberation, and the quiet courage it takes to rewrite the script.Books, shows, and films mentioned in this episode:Love Story by Erich SegalTitanic (1997)Fault in Our Stars by John Green Operation Mom by Reenita HoraSundri and Mundri's Lohri Adventure by Reenita HoraToo Big to Fail by Andrew Ross SorkinJallianwala bagh, 1919 by Kishwar Desai____________________________________________________The Bound Publishing Course is a comprehensive, three-month-long, certified program designed to give people the skills, network, and opportunity to build a career in book, magazine, or digital publishing.You will take part in 100 hours of live online sessions, led by over 40 experienced industry professionals.

We didn't know how to transition into our normal brand of silliness without addressing it, and we're praying that the presence and the comfort of the Lord will be so palpable for everyone who is hurting.

Lischele and Derrick met in college back in 2000. They clicked instantly but never dated. Life took them in different directions. They both married other people, started families, and kept in touch only occasionally over the years. Then, in 2018, a birthday message reopened the door. What followed was a long-distance relationship filled with emotional growth, missed signals, and second chances. In this episode, they share how they built something lasting the second time around and what it was about the timing that finally made it work.

TAKE THIS PERSONALLY WITH MORGAN: Morgan sits down with three extraordinary residents of Abe’s Garden — Dave, Sandra, and Carol — whose life stories are rich with love, loss, resilience, and reinvention. Dave reflects on his 24 years in the Navy, the serendipitous moment he met his wife, and his candid thoughts on the state of the world. Sandra shares how she became a first-time published author at 83, and why getting divorced was one of the best things that ever happened to her. And Carol opens up about her 56-year marriage, raising five children, and the quiet strength it takes to face life’s twists and turns. These heartfelt conversations are full of humor, wisdom, and timeless reminders that it’s never too late to grow, dream, and keep writing your story.
