Podcasts about Unforgettable

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with style coach Afton Porter for a conversation that goes far beyond fashion. Together, they explore how style impacts confidence, presence, personal branding, and the way women show up in their businesses — especially in midlife. Afton shares why the clothes in your closet may no longer reflect the woman you are today, how color and presentation influence first impressions, and why becoming unforgettable starts with feeling aligned, authentic, and confident in your own skin. If you have ever looked in your closet and felt like nothing works anymore, or wondered how to show up more confidently in your business without pretending to be someone you're not, this episode is for you.   You can get Afton's freebie at https://www.HouseofIconicStyle.com/Iconic    Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

In the midst of texting and cell phones, online websites and GPS, it can be difficult to remember an era when almost all communication took place by landline or snail mail, as it's now called, and driving depended on the ability to read a printed map. But April Howells's debut novel vividly recaptures that world. The Unforgettable Mailman (Alcove Press, 2026) opens in Chicago in October 1966. The post office, overwhelmed with unsolicited mail in the days before the ZIP code, has shut down temporarily, and an elderly resident named Henry Walton decides that someone must deliver the mail. People depend on letters, after all, and without them, connections with their nearest and dearest will fade. Henry himself suffers from a bad leg leftover from World War I and an increasingly dicey memory. But despite these obstacles, he succeeds in breaking into the post office and leaving with approximately 300 letters, destined for places as far apart as Canada and the Dakotas. Throughout the story we see Henry's interactions with the recipients of the letters as well as the letters themselves, and through the exchanges Henry's own past becomes ever clearer. After a while, his journey intersects with that of Roger, a high-school student in search of the father who left home, and the two of them pursue the delivery of the letters as we learn more about what makes each of them tick. This haunting novel, which came out a couple of months ago, captivated me from the very beginning. Henry is beautifully portrayed and sympathetic, and so are all the people with whom he interacts along the road—including, of course, Roger. April is a storyteller who finds heartwarming inspiration in little-known pieces of history. With a background in magazine publishing, she's spent the last decade leading Global Internal Communications and Employee Engagement for premium apparel brand lululemon. The Unforgettable Mailman is her debut novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels, including one co-written with P.K. Adams. Her next book, Song of the Silk Weaver, will appear in September 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.

The duo debates if Tai's track record of flip-flopping costs him respect, interrogates Cydney's role as a critical swing vote, and scrutinizes whether it's wiser to boot physical threats or strategic underdogs.

Transcript:Ca: El sol de l'estiu brillava a través de les finestres amples de la gran casa de la família de Laia.En: The summer sun shone through the wide windows of Laia's family's large house.Ca: Al pati, l'herba es movia amb la brisa suau, perfecta per al gran dinar que s'acostava.En: In the yard, the grass swayed with the gentle breeze, perfect for the big meal that was approaching.Ca: Laia, Pau i Martí estaven envoltats del bullici de la cuina, mentre Laia revisava la seva llarga llista de compres.En: Laia, Pau, and Martí were surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the kitchen as Laia checked her long shopping list.Ca: Ella volia que tothom gaudís d'una barbacoa perfecta.En: She wanted everyone to enjoy a perfect barbecue.Ca: Per a Laia, era important impressionar els seus sogres.En: For Laia, it was important to impress her in-laws.Ca: No obstant això, el pes de les expectatives li pesava fortament a les espatlles.En: However, the weight of expectations weighed heavily on her shoulders.Ca: Després d'un fort sospir, va decidir portar Pau i Martí al supermercat.En: After a deep sigh, she decided to take Pau and Martí to the supermarket.Ca: Mentre recorrien els passadissos, Laia va començar a notar que faltaven algunes coses clau: no quedaven botifarres ni pebrot escalivat, ingredients essencials per als plats tradicionals.En: As they moved through the aisles, Laia began to notice that some key items were missing: there were no botifarres or pebrot escalivat, essential ingredients for traditional dishes.Ca: La seva preocupació creixia, però va respirar profundament i va pensar amb rapidesa.En: Her concern grew, but she took a deep breath and thought quickly.Ca: Comprarien altres ingredients i crearien plats diferents.En: They would buy other ingredients and create different dishes.Ca: "Confieu en mi", va dir amb un somriure forçat als seus germans.En: "Trust me," she said with a forced smile to her brothers.Ca: Van omplir el carret amb verdures fresques, pollastre, i a més, unes quantes botelles de vi català.En: They filled the cart with fresh vegetables, chicken, and a few bottles of Catalan wine.Ca: En tornar a casa, van col·locar tot sobre el taulell i van començar a tallar, marinar i preparar amb energia.En: Returning home, they placed everything on the counter and began chopping, marinating, and preparing energetically.Ca: Laia va decidir implicar Pau i Martí en la cuina.En: Laia decided to involve Pau and Martí in the kitchen.Ca: La música sonava de fons mentre tots treballaven junts.En: Music played in the background as they all worked together.Ca: Tot semblava anar bé, fins que Laia es va adonar que havia oblidat comprar el pa de pagès per a la pa amb tomàquet, un element bàsic que sempre agrada a tothom.En: Everything seemed to be going well until Laia realized she had forgotten to buy the pa de pagès for the pa amb tomàquet, a staple that everyone loves.Ca: Va sentir un pànic passar per ella, però no volia que la seva inseguretat la dominés davant la seva família.En: She felt a wave of panic, but she didn't want her insecurity to take over in front of her family.Ca: Amb decisió, va agafar alvocats i va improvisar amb unes torrades que havien trobat a l'armari.En: With determination, she grabbed avocados and improvised with some toast they had found in the pantry.Ca: Els va untar amb all, oli i alvocat, creant un nou plat inesperadament sabrós.En: She spread them with garlic, oil, and avocado, creating a surprisingly tasty new dish.Ca: Poc després, la família va començar a arribar.En: Shortly after, the family began to arrive.Ca: L'olor del menjar omplia l'aire, i Laia va sentir que tot aniria bé.En: The smell of the food filled the air, and Laia felt that everything would be fine.Ca: El moment culminant va arribar quan els sogres de Laia van provar les seves creacions.En: The climax came when Laia's in-laws tasted her creations.Ca: Van aplaudir la seva creativitat i van admirar l'esforç posar en el dinar.En: They applauded her creativity and admired the effort put into the meal.Ca: A mesura que la tarda avançava, els riures i les converses alegres van omplir el pati.En: As the afternoon progressed, laughter and cheerful conversations filled the yard.Ca: Laia es va adonar que, sense importar els errors, el que comptava era l'estima i l'esforç posat en el dia.En: Laia realized that, no matter the mistakes, what mattered was the love and effort put into the day.Ca: Al final, va comprendre que no necessitava ser perfecta per ser acceptada.En: In the end, she understood that she didn't need to be perfect to be accepted.Ca: La família valorava més l'amor i el treball compartit.En: The family valued love and shared work more.Ca: Amb un somriure alliberador, va gaudir d'aquell moment màgic amb la seva família, sabent que ja ho tenia tot.En: With a liberating smile, she enjoyed that magical moment with her family, knowing she already had everything.

There's a hurricane in the Arby's studio. That's right – Carson Hocevar AKA ‘The Hurricane' dropped by today to fill in for Dale Jr as our host for DJD – and this episode was unforgettable. Right out of the gate, Dale Facetimed Carson, thinking that taping had just ended, but in fact, it was just getting started. Carson filled everyone in on his relationship with spotter Tyler Green, how the two navigated Naval Base Coronado, and the winning celebration that every fan would've been talking about had Carson pulled off the victory. In typical Hocevar fashion, Carson gave his takes on Reddick's sportsmanship while racing Heim for the win, his own run-in with Corey Heim, Noah Gragson's heated discussion with Kevin Magnussen, and so much more from the race weekend in San Diego. Cleetus McFarland also calls into the show to talk for a quick minute, right before Carson gets back to more of his opinions on all things NASCAR. Plus, a Kay Adams update.

Is righteousness earned through our actions, or is it a gift? In this powerful message, Ayanos Girma breaks down Romans 4:1–11 to reveal the true meaning of Abraham's journey. While many viewed circumcision as the source of righteousness, Paul reminds us that Abraham was justified by faith before he was circumcised. Circumcision was a sign and seal of a faith that already existed. Just like Abraham, our standing with God isn't based on our perfection or performance, but on trusting His promises. Listen how God justifies the ungodly, covers our sins, and uses painful seasons of "pruning" to deepen our faith and help us bear lasting fruit.

Every character in your story is living a full, invisible life - not just your protagonist. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three levels of character, why secondary characters so often fade into the background, and what you need to know about every person in your protagonist's orbit before you write them into a scene.Episode Web PageSend me Fan Mail

Think working in mental health is just sitting and listening? The reality is a chaotic, high volume front line where workers face severe psychological crises every single day. In this episode, our host sits down with the author of “So You Want To Work in Mental Health?: The Good, the Bad, and the Unforgettable,” Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, to pull back the curtain on what really happens behind closed doors for many mental health workers. Listeners will learn: Mental health workers are trained not to internalize a client's failures, and therefore often refuse to take credit for their successes. Nonclinical staff absorb crisis trauma but are often denied essential training and support. Empathy fatigue is where clients begin to feel like a rotation of numbers rather than people. Training vs. Reality: Academia teaches how to run a controlled, one-on-one clinical session, but often fails to prepare graduates for the volume, chaos, and emotional exhaustion of the actual field. Whether you are a professional working in healthcare or someone determined to understand the current, raw state of mental health advocacy, this conversation delivers the essential insights and perspectives you need. Hit play to uncover the unspoken truths of caregiving and learn how we can preserve the people who spend their lives saving others.    "School prepared me to be a therapist in a session [...] It didn't prepare me for handling the sheer volume of vicarious trauma, chaos, exhaustion." — Cliffard Mayo, author of “So You Want to Work in Mental Health?” Our guest, Cliffard Mayo, MBA, LAC, is an award‑winning author and behavioral health professional with a decade of direct care experience, including crisis intervention and residential therapy. Known for his authenticity and emotional intelligence, Cliffard blends professional expertise with deeply human storytelling to challenge stigma and inspire resilience. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.
