Her story is about a time when she was at a very low point in her life as a young adult and how she was led to a moment of synchronicity which put her on a life changing path to a fabulous career in the music industry.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some instant inspiration for you from Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite topics, and that is how mothers are so often right even when their kids are skeptical.

So we featured lots of stories about that in our new book for mothers and grandmothers, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Moms.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some instant inspiration for you from Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I want to talk about mothers as role models, because when you’re in the trenches raising your kids—or even later, when they’re grown but you’re still trying to give them advice, which is sometimes unwanted—you wonder if you’re getting through. Did you make a difference? Did the kids even listen to you? Well, the answer is yes, as we saw in dozens of stories in our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Moms.
