Podcast appearances and mentions of Oprah Winfrey

Bestselling author Chris Bohjalian has written 26 books, including mega-bestsellers Oprah's Book Club pick Midwives and The Flight Attendant, adapted into an Emmy-winning TV series — and yet he still worries that his next book won't be any good. Isn't it funny that even the greats of the field still worry?! But not to fear: Chris is no amateur and his latest book is thought-provoking, different, gripping, and memorable. When a bright young woman, about to head to Yale, swings a golf club at the range of her club, her life changes in an instant. The ball blasts through a hole in the netting and instantly kills a caddy, a classmate of hers. What follows is an examination of a neighborhood percolating with infidelity, blame, and gossip, a look at how easy it is to end up with the wrong people, and an attempt to right a life thrown off track. ** Want more?

What happens when you pray your heart out, but the miracle never comes?0:00 – Intro: Faith. No filter.0:39 – Ness's heart block miracle2:09 – Sitting with the team who don't get healed6:00 – Challenging rigid religious systems9:00 – The guilt of selective healing15:00 – The exhaustion of unanswered prayers17:22 – “God is not Oprah”21:00 – The mystery of divine timing24:00 – Validating anger toward God26:41 – Finding hope in permanent lossIn this episode of Filthy Hope, hosts Rev Ness Williams-Henke and Rev Jon Humphries sit on opposite sides of the same question: Are miracles real? In this raw, unfiltered conversation, our hosts dive into the spectrum of miracles and the painful realities of faith. Balancing Ness's shocking cardiac recovery with Jon's lived experience of losing his father to cancer, they dissect why the church's traditional vocabulary around divine healing often leaves grieving people out in the cold.Instead of hiding behind generic platitudes, the hosts track the messy journey through physical agony, survivor's guilt, and the mystery of a God who sometimes provides logistics while leaving the disease untouched. Ultimately, this conversation reframes the ultimate miracle: not as a magical exit from human suffering, but as the stubborn ability to find joy, connection, and grace right in the middle of our harshest realities.#FilthyHope #FaithNoFilter #ChristianPodcast #GritAndGrace #Miracles #UnansweredPrayer #GriefAndLoss #FaithAndDoubt #DivineHealing #UnitingChurch

This week, Will and Alasdair talk sofas, Oprah, and tit-willows.

This week, we covered so much I don't even know where to begin. I hard launched my relationship on IG (after MUCH caption & emoji discourse), splashed a few strangers in puddles with my car (with some regrets), and I learned who Jimothy is. Then, John visits my eye doctor and gets caught doing unmentionables to a plastic tush. We chat about the RHONY trailer, I continue to grovel to P.S. 22 (kinda), and am wondering what to do with the gorgeous air purifiers John Mayer put in my apartment. Plus, Bevy Smith comes by to talk her Fashion Queens reunion at Essence Fest, Oprah, and plastic surgery.

Sophie Chen Keller joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest novel, LITTLE WONDER, which was published by Jenna Bush Hager's imprint, Thousand Voices. It is an Oprah's Book Club pick and a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Song, a migrant worker, and her 11-year-old piano prodigy son, River, are separated in a massive crowd at a Beijing train station on the busiest travel day of the year. The story follows both characters over the years as they search for each other while building separate lives. Sophie describes LITTLE WONDER as being about motherhood, music, and the love between a mother and a child. She shares that she was born in rural northeastern China, was raised in the US, lived in Beijing, and is now residing in Germany. Her own experiences as a mother and a pianist deeply informed the novel. Carol and Sophie's conversation also touches on themes of longing, stage fright, social inequality in China, and the COVID-19 pandemic as portrayed in the book. And yes, Sophie explains what she was doing when she got the call from Oprah. The interview that Oprah taped with Sophie was her first real exposure to reader reactions. She found the audience's questions to be surprising and insightful as they made connections she had not anticipated.

Some stories stay with you long after you've heard them........This is one of them.In this deeply honest conversation on One For The Road, Peter shares the extraordinary journey that led him from a childhood surrounded by alcoholism, addiction and chaos to finding lasting freedom through sobriety. Growing up in West London, Peter experienced neglect, trauma, poverty and instability from an early age. As the years passed, he built what appeared to be a successful life, great career, nice cars, marriage and family;But beneath the surface, unresolved childhood pain quietly shaped every decision he made.Alcohol eventually became more than a drink. It became an escape.Peter opens up about how drinking masked decades of emotional wounds, the collapse of two marriages, living behind carefully constructed "masks", and the moment he realised that stopping drinking wasn't the end of the journey, it was the beginning of healing.This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't simply about putting down the bottle. It's about rebuilding your identity, understanding your past and learning to live with honesty, connection and purpose.In this episode we discuss:Growing up in a home affected by alcoholism and addictionThe hidden impact of childhood traumaHow neglect shapes self-worth and identityLiving behind masks and becoming the person you think others wantWhy success, money and material possessions couldn't fix the painAlcohol as a coping mechanism rather than the real problemThe collapse of relationships through addictionThe difficult first year of sobrietyWhy unresolved trauma often resurfaces after quitting alcoholFinding healing through connection, journaling and honest conversationsBecoming the father he always wanted to beWhy life genuinely gets better without alcoholKey TakeawaysChildhood experiences can influence our adult behaviours far more than we realise.Alcohol often becomes a solution to emotional pain rather than the root problem.Sobriety is about much more than quitting drinking—it's about learning who you really are.Healing from trauma takes time, patience and honest self-reflection.It's never too late to change your life or repair relationships.Recovery isn't about becoming perfect—it's about becoming authentic.Resources MentionedWhat Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey & Dr Bruce PerryJournaling as a recovery toolPeer support and sober communitiesTrauma-informed recoveryIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the podcast, leaving a review and sharing this episode with someone who may need to hear it.Recovery is possible, and every conversation helps break the stigma around alcohol, trauma and mental health.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Thank you for listening to One For The Road.

Political strategist and pollster Lee Hartley Carter recently joined us at the Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different podcast to share her sharp insights on the current American political landscape. As the founder of Carter Intelligence Group and author of “Persuasion: Convincing Others When Facts Don’t Seem to Matter,” Lee Hartley Carter brings a rare combination of research expertise and communications mastery to some of the most pressing questions facing voters and candidates today. From the rise of democratic socialism to the upcoming midterms, Lee Hartley Carter unpacks why anti-establishment energy is reshaping both parties and what it means for the future of American politics. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Anti-Establishment Wave Is Rewriting the Rules Lee Hartley Carter argues that the single most defining force in American politics right now is a deep distrust of institutions. Voters no longer trust big companies, big government, or career politicians to deliver on their promises. This sentiment fueled Donald Trump’s rise on the right, and it is now driving a new generation of progressive candidates on the left. She points to Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in New York City as a prime example. A candidate in his early thirties with no executive experience captured the city’s attention by speaking directly to people’s frustrations about rent and affordability. According to her, candidates who name real problems and offer simple, emotionally resonant solutions are winning, while those who run on credentials and qualifications are losing.   Lee Hartley Carter on Why Feelings Trump Facts in Modern Political Communication One of the most powerful observations Lee Hartley Carter makes is that feelings consistently override facts in political decision-making. Christopher Lochhead challenges the old saying that facts do not care about your feelings, flipping it to argue that feelings do not care about your facts. Lee Hartley Carter wholeheartedly agrees with this framing. This dynamic explains why candidates who connect emotionally with voters consistently outperform those who lead with policy credentials and experience. Telling voters they are wrong or uninformed only pushes them further away. She emphasizes that the candidates winning today are the ones validating what people already feel, then offering a focused, believable path forward rather than a long list of policy positions.   Lee Hartley Carter on What to Expect From the Midterms and Beyond Lee Hartley Carter predicts that the upcoming midterms will not be the clear blue wave that conventional wisdom might suggest. Despite an unpopular war, high gas prices, and a president with approval ratings hovering around 38 percent, Democrats hold only a razor-thin lead in generic ballot polling. She believes the race remains wide open for both parties. Her advice for Republicans is to stop reacting to socialist messaging and start setting their own clear narrative, much like Trump did in 2016 with Make America Great Again. For Democrats, she sees affordability as the singular issue that could carry them to victory, provided the moderate and progressive wings of the party stop undermining each other. Lee Hartley Carter believes the candidates who define the conversation rather than respond to it will ultimately win.

She’s the founder and CEO of Carter Intelligence Group and author of “Persuasion: Convincing Others When Facts Don’t Seem to Matter” As a television news personality and researcher, she doesn't rely on traditional polling for her unique insights into U.S. politics; rather, she analyzes voters' emotional responses to help understand and empathize with them on a more visceral level. The reaction matters, but the “why” behind it matters more. It was this approach that allowed her to accurately predict the results of the 2016 presidential election and primaries.   Links Follow Lee Hartley Carter!

July is the Saturday of summer. Life feels a little lighter, the rules feel looser, and for a minute, you can breathe before August shows up with its deadlines, resets, and Sunday scaries.As I'm getting ready for my birthday trip and trying to soak up the last bit of that July freedom, I've been thinking about how often two things can be true at the same time. I can love the life I've worked so hard to build and still feel overwhelmed. I can be proud of how far I've come in my weight and body image journey and still have days when it feels hard. I can appreciate my body and still want change.In this episode, we're talking about letting go of the all-or-nothing thinking that tells us we have to pick one truth, and making room for the messy, complicated reality of healing, growth, and actually living your life.Irresistible Links:Show Notes

The "anti-influencer" who's been sharing midlife hacks in a weekly newsletter called Babble.Brooke Amidei didn't set out to build a business. She was on a hike with her dog, post-COVID, trying to figure out what to do with the next chapter of her life, when a podcast question stopped her mid-step: "What would you do if you were Oprah?" Her answer was simple...she wanted to spend all day talking with her girlfriends.Three years later, that answer is Babble: a free weekly newsletter that's part magazine, part group chat, and fully allergic to being another influencer account.This conversation goes everywhere a real girlfriend hangout goes. Brooke and Laurie talk about the moment Brooke stopped calling Babble a "passion project" and started calling it her job...and the fear that came with finally saying that out loud. Then it gets into the good stuff: the docuseries that inspired Brooke to rent out a movie theater, the bone density scan she didn't know she needed, and the pelvic floor information that's about to change how every woman in this audience uses the bathroom.It's a conversation about building something real without pretending to have all the answers, and about why the most useful thing you can hand another woman in midlife is just the truth, curated with love.What we cover:How a hike, a dog, and one line from a Rachel Hollis podcast turned into a business called BabbleWhy Brooke calls herself "the anti-influencer" and refuses to fake the polishThe real definition of Babble's "top layer" — and why it's not another deep-dive wellness accountHow a panel of 15 women actually decides what makes it into the newsletter each weekThe moment Brooke stopped calling Babble a "passion project" and started calling it her jobWhy she almost didn't want to admit, even to herself, that this was real work worth being paid forThe docuseries trailer that led Brooke to rent out a movie theater in Boise — and then do it again in Salt Lake CityWhat she learned putting together a health and wellness resource lounge for a room full of midlife womenThe perimenopause "cheat sheet" Brooke built after watching the docuseries and interviewing experts — including the one line an expert had the whole room repeat out loudBrooke's own experience going on vaginal estrogen — and what changed for her after almost two decades of a problem she thought she'd just have to live withThe book and the Instagram account Brooke says are the two non-negotiable resources for anyone starting to learn about perimenopauseWhy women aren't supposed to get a bone density scan until 65 — and why that might already be too lateWhat happened when Brooke and her business partner got their own bone density scans and found out about risk factors they never knew they hadThe colonoscopy prep Babble has covered so many times Brooke jokes she has a "frequent flyer card"The pelvic floor tip about how women are peeing "wrong" — and the small daily habit that might be doing damage without you realizing itHow Babble started monetizing without losing the trust that made it work in the first placeBrooke's manifestation experiment with the Best Life Planner's "10 Dreams I've Achieved" — and the three unplanned massages that showed up after she almost deleted it from her listWhy Brooke and Laurie both push back on being called a "female" doctor, pilot, or scientist — and what that language habit revealsBrooke's current favorite Amazon dupe, and the one product category she says is always worth the searchQuotable moments"I actually call myself the anti-influencer.""Stop calling it a 'passion project'.

We also get practical about safer buying, lube basics, anal play, and what changes as intimacy products go more mainstream. • why sex toy brands struggle to communicate with consumers on major platforms • why returns are limited and why warranties matter • how ToyChats works as a user-generated sex toy review site • how reviewers get paid for approved written and video reviews • what makes certain manufacturers stand out on quality and support • how men's toys and tech features have evolved over time • what's real and what's hype in sex dolls, robots, and AI • why buying intimacy items at big-box stores feels different than an adult boutique • lube safety basics, reputable brands, and why water-based is a smart default • anal play guidance, prostate targeting, and beginner safety rules I really hope that everybody engages with us on Toy Chats, even if you're not looking to be a reviewer. If you love this episode, be sure to tell your friends about it and rate it as well. Send us Fan Mail Support the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email  questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comicWant to be a guest on Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating?

Everyone has Chiron in their natal chart, but that doesn't mean everyone is cursed.  In this episode, Paula explains why Chiron is known as the wounded healer and how its placement can reveal a person's deepest sensitivity—as well as a hidden superpower. She breaks down what Chiron may mean in each zodiac sign and house, using Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and her own chart as real-life examples.  Paula also explores the Chiron Return, which occurs around age 50 and may bring an old, unresolved wound back to the surface. Most importantly, she explains how self-awareness and inner work can prevent that wound from continuing to control a person's choices. Chiron does not represent punishment; it reveals what needs to be healed and how that healing can ultimately help others.

Anika sat down with Tim Lindsay to explore what it really takes to build a publishing company from the ground up—starting with negative net worth and zero safety net. The conversation revealed the realities of bootstrapping Tellwell Publishing to over 6,000 books, the critical differences between traditional and self-publishing, and how a 128-day NICU crisis tested his leadership. Tim's journey offers a masterclass in resilience, scaling teams, and understanding the true strategic value of writing a book.In This EpisodeQuitting a day job with massive credit card debt and mastering the art of bootstrappingThe evolution of self-publishing and why traditional publishing gatekeepers are losing their gripThe three core motivations for writing a book: Give, Build, and JourneyScaling a team from 1 to 12 (the honeymoon phase) versus the painful jump to 30 employeesNavigating a 128-day NICU crisis while keeping a growing business from collapsingWhy the "Guide" function is the missing link in the modern publishing landscapeWriting The Call to Authorship in just 30 minutes a day before the second cup of coffeeThe importance of team cohesion and why traditional HR rules often miss the markTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Bootstrapping a publishing company from nothing01:34 The leap into self-employment with $50,000 in credit card debt07:04 How Amazon and Print-on-Demand revolutionized the publishing industry10:40 Understanding the real reasons people write books (Give, Build, Journey)12:25 The incredible story of The 10-Year-Old Man and publishing for impact21:44 The honeymoon startup phase and the chaos of scaling past 12 employees29:29 The parallels between starting a business, writing a book, and starting a family32:53 Tim's personal writing routine for The Call to Authorship36:58 Surviving a 128-day NICU crisis without burning out the business43:56 Why the "Guide" function became Tellwell Publishing's secret sauce48:34 Redefining book success: visibility and strategy over royalties51:14 Why team cohesion matters more than traditional management55:08 Atomic Habits and a powerful William Blake quote on taking actionKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: The Three Core Motivations for Authorship (Give, Build, Journey) People don't just write books to make a profit. The drive to publish typically stems from three areas: "Give" (serving the reader or society), "Build" (using the book as a strategic tool to grow a business or speaking career), and the "Journey" (personal healing, expression, and meaning). Understanding your primary motivation changes how you write and market the book.Insight 2: The "Guide" Function is the Missing Link in Publishing While self-publishing offers higher royalties and creative control, it can be an isolating and overwhelming process. Tellwell succeeded by institutionalizing the "Guide" role—a mix of advice, project management, quality control, and emotional encouragement that empowers authors without removing their creative autonomy.Insight 3: The Danger Zone of Scaling is Between 12 and 30 Employees Growing a team to 12 people feels like a honeymoon phase where everyone communicates like a volleyball team in a huddle. But scaling past 20 requires building a functional management team. This transition drains cash flow, demands rigorous hiring, and risks creating a negative flywheel if bad hires lead to customer issues and low morale.Insight 4: A Book is a Strategic Tool, Not a Lottery Ticket Competing against millions of books and streaming platforms makes getting rich off royalties incredibly difficult. The modern author wins by using their book to gain visibility, establish credibility, and generate leads for speaking engagements or consulting services, rather than waiting to become the next Oprah book club pick.Insight 5: Consistency Trumps Free Time Tim wrote The Call to Authorship while running a scaling business and managing a family. His secret wasn't taking a sabbatical; it was dedicating 30 minutes a day to write 500 words before his second cup of coffee. Small, daily habits build momentum that eventually results in a completed 50,000-word manuscript.Insight 6: The Soft Stuff is the Hard Stuff in Business Reflecting on his journey, Tim realized he underestimated the importance of team cohesion. It isn't built at an annual retreat; it's forged in daily interactions, dropping guards, and building trust. Without that personal connection, communication breaks down and business decisions suffer.Resources & Links MentionedTellwellPublishing.comThe Call to Authorship (Tim's book)Free Guide to Self-Publishing Atomic Habits by James ClearAbout Tim LindsayTim Lindsay is the founder and CEO of Tellwell Publishing.

What do your dreams mean? Can you use them to transform your life? Award-winning poet, author, teacher and certified dream therapist Rodger Kamenetz explains how the deeper meanings of our dreams can lead us into spiritual realms we would otherwise never discover. In his book “The History of Last Night's Dream,” he searches for the spiritual truths and directions of our dreams and, in the process, opens a new world to the soul. Oprah says, "What's so exciting about this book is that it talks about how there's a whole other life that we are living when we sleep, and that our dreams are there as offerings and gifts to us if we only recognize what the dreams are there to teach us.

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired on May 4, 2014. Oprah sits down with relationship expert Tracy McMillan, author of "Why You're Not Married...Yet," to talk about the spiritual path of relationships and the self-destructive behaviors that can hold people back from finding meaningful, authentic love. In 2011, Tracy published an article in The Huffington Post titled "Why You're Not Married." The piece went viral, becoming one of the all-time most popular articles on the site. Through her trademark humor, Tracy shares what she believes are the spiritual aspects of love, and explains why our ability to love ourselves is key to loving others. Tracy also opens up about her morning ritual, her favorite way to unwind and what most inspires her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
