Hey everyone, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m pleased to introduce you to Laura Owens, who I met when I appeared on her podcast. Going into podcasting was a natural progression for Laura, whose father was a National Radio Hall of Famer, and whose mother is an award winning journalist. In fact, Laura and her mother Jan are cohosts of their self-help podcast, “Nobody Told Me.”

Enjoying the Simple Things

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m talking about a new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Young at Heart.

One of the fun parts of getting older is having grandchildren or grand nephews and nieces, and today I’m going to share two stories about that, including one about a literal accidental meeting with country singer Loretta Lynn.

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.
