Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and we’re talking about mothers and daughters as we approach Mother’s Day. We have a fabulous new book out called Chicken Soup for the Soul: Mothers & Daughters. It’s all about that magical bond between mothers and daughters… and grandmothers, too. And mothers-in-law! And it contains a lot of great advice and role models, too. Today I’m going to share two stories about mothers and grandmothers who faced difficult, emotional family situations and rose to the occasion, making sure that everyone was happy even though it meant changing long-held views and traditions.

Five Proven Tips for Living Your Life to the Fullest

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to share six ways to step outside your comfort zone, with stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Get Out of Your Comfort Zone. This is one of my favorite pieces of advice from the world of Chicken Soup for the Soul: to try new things --even if they’re scary. I find it so empowering and energizing when I do new things—even something as simple as shopping at a different grocery store. And of course there are the big things, too, like taking a vacation in a country I’ve never been to before.
