Podcasts about Second Chances

We are live in New York City with reality television royalty — Renee Graziano — and from the first minute, it's iconic chaos, deep vulnerability, and explosive truth. The episode opens with jokes about the FBI “waiting outside” as Renee reflects on her groundbreaking run on Mob Wives, the show that redefined reality TV. She shares what it meant to grow up the daughter of Anthony Graziano, a respected consigliare, clarifying that “mob privilege” wasn't white privilege — it was loyalty, respect, and family code. Fashion takes center stage as Renee reminisces about mink coats, ostrich feathers, and unapologetic mob glam — proving Mob Wives delivered couture long before Housewives. Pol is living for the fur, diamonds, and drama. Author, Erotica & Unfiltered Talk Renee dives into her erotic novel Playing with Fire, inspired by love, betrayal, and danger. What follows is a surprisingly philosophical (and hilarious) conversation about intimacy, celibacy, and why Renee has been celibate since April 2023 after discovering a shocking betrayal. The honesty is raw, funny, and deeply human. Trauma, Betrayal & Survival The mood shifts as Renee opens up about surviving domestic violence, sexual assault, and devastating betrayal — including her ex-husband cooperating with the government, leading to unimaginable family consequences. Her story of discovering a wired watch gifted by her ex leaves the room stunned. She also shares her sobriety journey, including surviving a fentanyl overdose that left her clinically dead with cracked ribs. Her perspective is powerful: recovery isn't just about substances — it's about healing from trauma, shame, and self-destruction. Mob Wives Legacy & Reboot Rumors Renee confirms rumblings of a potential Mob Wives reboot and teases throwing her son a televised wedding — with Pol designing the gown. The energy is playful but hopeful. The conversation turns heartfelt as they honor the late Angela Raiola. Renee remembers Big Ang's generosity, humor, and “ginormous” heart, imagining her running a nightclub in heaven with her father. Entrepreneurial Glow-Up Renee introduces her mob-inspired skincare line, BAD (Beautiful and Dangerous) Body Butter, with cheeky names like Fig-get About It, Coco Nostra, Made Melon, Biscotti Boss, and Vanilla Vendetta — tongue-in-cheek branding rooted in heritage and humor. The Coffee Reading – Rebirth Revealed Pol's Armenian coffee reading becomes the emotional climax. He describes Renee as deeply guarded, emotionally triple-locked — then sees an opening at the top of the cup: rebirth. Renee reveals her name means “reborn” and “spiritually renewed,” and her last name means “grace.” The synchronicity leaves everyone speechless. The reading affirms a recent epiphany sparked by news of her ex-husband's release and a powerful spiritual conversation with her late father. The message is clear: transformation is happening now. Renee leaves feeling “naked” in the best way — spiritually exposed but empowered. It's laughter, mob lore, candor, survival, hustle, and divine rebirth in one unforgettable episode.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT THE STARS BETWEEN US Seven years ago, Kim made a connection with a stranger during an eclipse event. Now a fledgling news reporter, Kim returns to Illinois for this year's eclipse, unaware that their paths may cross again. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE STARS BETWEEN US February 21, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF THE STARS BETWEEN US Sarah Drew as Kim Matt Long as Malcolm BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS 7 years ago, we're in Carbondale, Illinois and it's eclipse time! Malcolm is on top of a hill with his telescope, totally nerding out. His girlfriend isn't nearly as pumped as he is and she heads down the hill to snag some Rocket Dogs. While she's gone, a woman named Kim shows up. She's drawn to his telescope. They start talking and bond over their love of space. Right before the eclipse happens, her boyfriend Blake calls her. He's finally arrived, so she scurries off to meet up with him. 7 years later, Kim is now working for a news station. The person who was gonna go back to Carbondale to cover the eclipse bails so she volunteers to take on the case. Who knows, maybe she'll bump into the hunk from 7 years ago. And wouldn't you know it, they're both actually there. But somehow they keep missing each other. At a masquerade party, they get to talking but obviously they're rocking masks. Her first news spot is rocky but goes kind of viral. She ends up getting the invite for her eclipse spot to go national! She's freaking out! Her camera person and Malcolm's best friend end up meeting and really hitting it off. You'd think that would mean that Malcolm and Kim would end up meeting. Nope. They sure don't. They end up going multiple days without realizing they're both there. It's the day of the big eclipse and they were able to secure this GIANT scientist to come and be interviewed. When he ends up getting lost, they go and snag Malcolm. Naturally, they don't chat at all until they come face to face live on air. The chemistry is NUTS! After they go off air, they promptly go and chat and kiss and miss the eclipse. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Over the last decade, conversations about criminal justice have become more and more prominent in our national politics. But how can we tell what works and what doesn't? Jennifer Doleac joins the podcast to discuss her new book, The Science of Second Chances.

February 28, 1987. Miller Cave, Iowa. Five college students, their geology professor Kathy McCluskey, and staff member Mike Price descended 112 feet into a vertical shaft in an Iowa farm field. What should have been a routine winter caving trip became a fight for survival when a storm shifted direction and water began pouring into the cave. Student leader Chad Blietz (now Chad Darby) shares his firsthand account of climbing through freezing spray in complete darkness while battling severe hypothermia—making impossible decisions when conditions turned deadly. Seven people entered Miller Cave that day. Only five would make it out alive. This episode explores the technology limitations of 1987, the split-second decisions that determined who lived and who died, and the survival lessons that matter today: trust your gut, avoid sunk cost fallacy, and respect how quickly conditions can change in the wild. We honor the memory of those lost that day. Hosted by Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen ️ Contains descriptions of hypothermia, drowning, and death.

In this powerful episode of Addicted to Recovery, the hosts welcome Amber, who shares her deeply honest journey through addiction, relapse, mental health struggles, and ultimately finding lasting recovery. AmberAmber opens up about growing up feeling different and self-conscious, discovering alcohol at a young age, and later developing a dependence on cocaine that quickly escalated from social use into a destructive cycle.

AmberAfter hitting emotional rock bottom and seeking help through A&E, Amber entered mental health treatment but struggled because the root issue — addiction — wasn't fully addressed.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Steven Scott Eichenblatt, author of the book Pretend They are Dead. Steven is a graduate of Florida State University and the University of Florida College of Law. A practicing attorney and father of five, he has spent over thirty years advocating for children as a pro bono guardian ad litem and representing families of first responders killed on 9/11. As a founding partner of Page & Eichenblatt, he has received multiple awards for legal excellence and community work supporting children. He lives with his wife in Orlando, Florida.   In my book review, I stated Pretend They Are Dead is heartbreaking memoir. Steven's father had issues - enough that his parents divorced. She remarried a man who was verbally and physically abusive. Although, technically, Steven had two fathers, he felt abandoned by both. By the time he graduated high school, he called no one dad.   The trauma from his youth made it impossible to have lasting relationships, though he tried, failing at two marriages. But something he didn't want to fail at was being a father. So, he loved his children with everything he had and worked hard to figure out the truth of his past.   I like Steven's style of writing. I felt like I was in his head - which spins from one topic to the next. I could see why he exasperated his parents at a young age! He is also honest - about his own actions as well as the actions of others. Despite the circumstances, in the end, he doesn't really cast blame. Instead, he figures out how to forgive, let the past go, and find joy in today.   If you like a good memoir, you'll like this book!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Steven Scott Eichenblatt Website: https://www.stevenscotteichenblatt.com/ FB: @seichenblatt IG: @seichenblatt X: @SSEichenblatt LinkedIn: @Steven Eichenblatt   Purchase Pretend They are Dead on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3NGK72R Ebook: https://amzn.to/4qQtzE4   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Heidi's message is simple but powerful: sometimes what feels like the worst luck in the world is actually setting you up for the best thing that will ever happen to you.They explore:Why karma is real, and why you have to do more than just sit on your couch and hope for the bestThe idea of "Good luck, bad luck, who knows?" and how it changes everything when life hands us setbacks Why giving to the universe what you want to get back actually works (yes, even for finding a husband)This is a conversation about hope, resilience, and trusting that our negative experiences may be exactly what needs to happen to lead us to our next "yes!" Connect with Heidi:Instagram @LoveLessons104Get her book: Love Lessons: 104 Dates and the Stories That Led Me to True LoveHer Podcast: I Love You More________________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Wendy: LinkedinInstagram: @phineaswrighthouseFacebook: Phineas Wright House Website: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and Travel Interested in being a guest on the show?

Renowned motivational speaker and coach, Jess Wilson shares how she fought for years to get answers for her two severely unwell sons after being dismissed by doctors, until a Perth specialist ordered routine immune tests and diagnosed a rare genetic immune disease; the system later apologised and treatment began. She discusses medical gaslighting, intuition, forgiveness, and radical responsibility, and how the experience led her into nutrition, holistic health, and speaking focused on identity, discipline, micro-decisions, and higher standards for health, relationships, and generational wellbeing.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, host Jeremy Kellett talks with Oakley Owner-Operator Craig Taylor about his journey from a long, successful career in wealth management to trucking and becoming a first-time owner-operator. Craig shares his past as a high-functioning alcoholic, a devastating 2019 single-vehicle accident that nearly killed him, the long recovery that followed, and the wake-up call of alcoholic pancreatitis that led him to quit drinking cold turkey. He explains how faith, second chances, and personal responsibility shaped his return to trucking, his move to Oakley, and his approach to running his truck like a business, covering fuel strategy, costs, and what it really takes to succeed as an owner-operator.

Have you ever asked God to bless something you never asked Him about in the first place? In this week's message, we unpack 1 Samuel 4 and wrestle with a hard question: Is God truly leading our battles—or are we just bringing Him in after we've already decided what we want? Israel went into battle without seeking God. When they lost, they tried to fix it by bringing the Ark of the Covenant—as if God's presence could be controlled like a lucky charm. What followed was devastating. Craig talk about: Why God doesn't bless plans we never ran past Him The difference between bringing God to the fight and using Him as backup How preferences can quietly outweigh God's commandments What it really means to give God "weight" in our lives If you've ever wondered why you feel spiritually stuck, defeated, or distant from God—this message is for you.

In this grounded and deeply moving episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Christine Doran, founder of Triple H Ranch in the Chicago area — a rare ecosystem that combines a full‑scale horse rescue with equine‑assisted work for humans.Christine shares how her path into this work began as a teenager through a moment of spiritual clarity, and how that calling evolved into more than two decades of frontline work with abused, neglected, and discarded horses. Rather than separating rescue from therapy, Christine describes an integrated model where horses are not “fixed and then used,” but supported as whole beings whose own healing journey becomes part of the therapeutic relationship.Together, Rupert and Christine explore what it means to witness suffering without becoming hardened, how faith, humility, and structure play a role in sustainable rescue work, and why some of the deepest lessons in equine‑assisted practice come from horses with the hardest pasts.This episode is an honest look at abuse that still exists in modern America, the quiet heroism of long‑term rescue work, and the possibility of creating true second chances — for horses and for people.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

The Bible, God's ancient book of wisdom, tells the story of Jonah. God asked him to go to the city of Nineveh to share a message of mercy. But Jonah did not want to go. Instead, he boarded a ship in the opposite direction, hoping to escape God's instructions. The ship encountered a dangerous storm. And when the sailors figured out that Jonah was the cause, they threw him overboard—only to be swallowed by an enormous fish. And in the darkness of the belly of that fish, he cried out to God. And God responded. The fish spat Jonah out onto dry land, and God gave him a second chance. This time, Jonah obeyed—and as a result, an entire city turned towards God in repentance. Are you stuck in your own “storm”? Jesus offers you life and hope. Will you accept His second chance today? Always remember, there is hope with God.

One day when talking with his friends, Mike shared one of his deepest regrets—getting kicked off the college football team as a senior. When asked, “Why don’t you do something about it?” Mike decided to pursue a second chance, and became the oldest linebacker of a college football team in NCAA history at age fifty-nine, proving that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

My life’s work now is about family, about helping others, and about using whatever time and gifts God has given me to make a difference.” - Tim Green “God had other plans—plans that were bigger than anything I could have imagined. Looking back, every step prepared me for the next one. He was weaving the story long before I knew it.”- Tim Green “What really matters is your faith, family, and identity in Christ—not in a jersey or a job. Football gave me a platform, but it’s faith and family that gave me a purpose.” - Tim Green “My diagnosis forced me to confront what really matters—to put Christ at the center, not tucked quietly in the background. It made every day, every relationship, every breath more precious and more purposeful.” - Tim Green “One morning, I woke up with a clarity I didn’t create that this wasn’t the end of my story. I realized that God had left me here for a reason. Maybe to show that even in suffering, His goodness can still shine. That moment was a second chance, and I wasn’t going to waste it.” - Tim Green “Prayer became less about asking and more about resting. Peace came in small moments—a hand held, a smile, a sunset—reminders that God was still here.” - Tim Green “Every chapter of my life has required a deeper anchor than achievement. When the applause stops, when the career ends, when the body fails, you need a foundation that won’t.” - Tim Green “It was my profession of faith in Christ, and my realization that I know so little about Him, that started me on my journey in faith that I still pursue today.” - Mike Flynt “So many people need to know that somebody else has overcome and that Christ was there and they can take that same concern, those same weaknesses, to Him and know that if He did it for Mike, He’d do it for anybody.” - Mike Flynt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
