Podcasts about Miss America

What does it mean to embody true beauty in a world obsessed with appearances? In this inspiring episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay is joined by none other than Miss America* 2025, Abbie Stockard, to explore how faith, girlhood, and purpose can shine even in the most public of arenas. With grace and conviction, Abbie shares how her identity in Christ shapes everything—from her passion for pediatric nursing and her advocacy for Cystic Fibrosis, to her bold stance on inner beauty and self-worth in the pageant world.  A proud Alabama native and senior at Auburn University, Abbie has used her platform to raise over $200,000 for CF research and promote healthy habits in children through her “High Five for Kids” initiative. But what sets Abbie apart isn't just her crown—it's her heart. With remarkable vulnerability and insight, she opens up about the fire God placed in her belly and how her family and faith community nurtured that calling from a young age.  Patti and Abbie tackle big questions moms are asking today: How can we help our daughters dream big while keeping Christ at the center? How do we preserve the innocence and wonder of girlhood in a world that pushes girls to grow up too fast? And how can we teach our daughters to find their worth not in the mirror or on social media, but in the unchanging truth of God's Word?  This episode is a heartfelt celebration of young women who boldly pursue their God-given purpose—and a powerful reminder to mothers that your influence matters deeply. Whether your daughter dreams of a stage, a stethoscope, or something in between, this conversation will encourage you to walk alongside her with intentionality, love, and unshakable faith.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a young woman who's not just wearing a crown—but living out her calling to reflect the beauty and goodness of the King.  Learn more about Abbie and her work as Miss America at missamerica.org  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com   *American Heritage Girls is not affiliated with, nor does it formally endorse, the Miss America organization. While we are grateful for the opportunity to welcome Abbie Stockard—whose strong Biblical Worldview and devoted walk with the Lord inspire us—we want to clarify that her appearance at our event does not reflect an endorsement of the Miss America organization.

Content Warning! This podcast is not suitable for children and contains sensitive content. Please read the entire description. The last time Angela saw her brother, Albert, he kissed her belly. Angela was nine months pregnant and had just asked Albert to be the Godfather of her baby. That was the last time Angela saw Albert alive.  Weeks later Angela traveled from California to her homeland of Hawaii (she had been crowned Miss America, Hawaii years earlier). As Angela stood at the security gate holding her new baby, she prepared to board a plane to attend her late brother's funeral.    Angela's brother died much too young when he took his own life. Angela now understood the sacred value of life “from womb to tomb” in a profound way. She was caught between the glorious joy of new life and the indescribable agony of sudden and tragic death. In this final Lenten Podcast, learn how Christ meets us when we are on our knees and have no idea how to stand. Be blessed with new life by the grace of God, even when you think it may be impossible.

Maria Maldonado Smith  08:19 The three questions are, what do I want? Yeah, it's interesting, because a lot of people don't, can't even answer that question for sure. You ask them, What do you want? I don't know. I don't know. The second one is, who do you want to become? Maria Maldonado Smith  I also think that there's something beautiful in abandoning goals that no longer work for us. And I don't think that we talk about that enough, because so much of our focus has always been put on, but did you accomplish the goal? But maybe the goal was never meant to be accomplished.   ABOUT MARIA MALDONADO SMITH: Maria Maldonado Smith is the Chief Empowerment Officer of MMS Consulting and creator of the Executive Vision Imagery program.

There is bouncing back after adversity, and then there is: Vanessa Williams. The talented multi-hyphenate was only 21 years old when she became the first Black woman to be crowned Miss America. Yet a controversy surrounding the release of unauthorized nude photos led to her ultimately relinquishing her title 10 months into her reign. When doors were closed to her following the scandal, she fought her way back to an impressive and decorated career: Williams built decades of success as an actor and recording artist, selling 25 million records worldwide, starring in over 100 roles in television, film, and on Broadway - and being nominated for a Tony and multiple Emmy and Grammy Awards. Vanessa Williams speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the death threats she received after she won Miss America, how the work of Stephen Sondheim inspires the type of art she wishes to make, and what it’s like working with Elton John on her next big project.

Actress and singer Vanessa Williams was born in the Bronx, New York, on March 18, 1963. In 1983, she made history as the first Black woman crowned Miss America. However, after nude photos surfaced, she was pressured to resign—a setback that paved the way for an epic comeback. Williams launched a successful music career, recording the timeless hit “Save the Best for Last” in 1991. She also became a celebrated actress, starring in television and film. Today, she continues to shine, currently leading “The Devil Wears Prada” on London's West End. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the last week of February 1927, Sydneysiders could go to the Crystal Palace Theatre to see Australia's very own ‘Queen' – the winner of the first Miss Australia pageant. Not only would she appear in her costumes, she'd tell of her adventures going to Atlantic City to ‘challenge' Miss America. Soon she'd take her show all across Australia. In the background, newspaper mogul-in-the-making R.C. Packer was pulling the strings and pocketing the profits that'd establish a mighty media empire. But Miss Australia was more than a pretty face – and she'd use her smarts like a modern-day influencer.For a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes:Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaTo buy They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

It's funny to think that back in the 1980s, a leak of nude pictures could cause a headline-grabbing scandal, but that's exactly what happened to the first Black woman to ever wear the Miss America crown. Vanessa Williams, then 21, was roundly demonized in the press, and was subjected to intense public outrage for her supposed transgression. She was even forced to resign her crown, an overreaction that the pageant would apologize for decades later. Alicia has the whole sorry saga, and the powerful comeback story of one of the great talents in American entertainment – plus a couple of divorces!

Taryn Delanie is a content creator and a former Miss New York. Taryn grew up in Seattle and originally had her heart set on becoming a diplomat. She gained a bachelor's degree in communication studies from St. John's University, and even spent time in Paris working in diplomacy. But when she was studying for a master's degree in international communication and intercultural studies at St. John's (and trying to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic), she started posting comedic videos on TikTok. She immediately went viral, and her second-ever video—which was of reviewing her less-than-desirable NYC apartment—currently has over 21 million views. She started posting regularly, with fans loving her honest, joyful sense of humor. Ever the multitasker, in 2022, she won the Miss New York pageant, spending her time raising awareness of housing insecurity, and in 2023, she became the first runner-up for Miss America. In the last year, she's grown her following and created new and instantly beloved characters like Denise, a receptionist in heaven. She's also explored new opportunities such as co-hosting the Amazon Prime talk show Influenced.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
