Have you ever had a major life change hit you that you’d file under #didntseethatcoming? If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with receiving bad news, you’re going to want to listen in to soak up the wisdom and hope flowing from this week’s guest, Danielle Walker. 

The New York Times bestselling cookbook author, mama, health advocate, wellness expert, and (self-trained!) chef sits down with Paula to talk about finding her way through the darkness of a crushing diagnosis at a young age. Hear how navigating the struggles of her autoimmune disease helped her discover her true calling on the other side. 

Danielle and Paula discuss the ups and the downs of the autoimmune journey, including the dietary changes that ended Danielle’s suffering and the ways she’s helped others with similar issues continue to enjoy good food. Hear about the bright spots that paved her path forward, why our gut health matters more than we think, and how she battles food FOMO today (hint: don’t sleep on her Real Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies!). 

Danielle says it’s not a perfect journey but there’s little excuse not to make it a delicious one. Be encouraged by the steps she offers to begin your own journey of health and actually feel good again. And if you’re feeling alone right now, may this conversation be a lifeline to keep going, as Danielle reminds us that we don’t have to suffer in silence, Friends!

Can you believe it? This week Paula is talking to Jesus! She’s one-on-one with Jonathan Roumie – the star of The Chosen, the mighty-popular streaming video series on the life of Jesus Christ. Like over 200 million people around the globe, Paula, her kids, and her 81-year-old mother are HUGE fans of Jonathan and The Chosen – and we have a solid feeling you are too! Can we get an Amen?! 

Hear Jonathan retrace the early twists and turns of pursuing his calling, including voiceovers on MTV’s Celebrity Death Match, a literal run-in with Run DMC, and juggling both side jobs and full-on fears of the unknown. 

You’ll be encouraged by how Jonathan pursued his calling in the face of that fear, learn how he navigates spiritual warfare, discover the new projects he’s discerning for the new year – and find out how The Chosen is contributing to a revival across the pond. It’s totally inspiring! 

While we all have watched Jonathan channel Jesus’ personal, tender and funny sides on-screen - he brings a similar personal spirit to this warm and enlightening episode of Paula’s “Faith & Calling” podcast. So just get ready to smile.

He loves dogs, writing music and inspirational movie roles. Possibly, in that order. Dennis Quaid, yep, THE DENNIS QUAID, stops by Paula’s “Faith & Calling” podcast to talk about all those things and more. 

The award winning actor details how he felt called to acting, but why music remains his first love. And the song he wrote for his mom after a stint in rehab, which he says was the beginning of his spiritual rebirth. 

These days, Quaid is starring in movies like “American Underdog” (about Kurt Warner’s improbable Super Bowl story) and “Reagan” (out later this year), which he calls the most challenging movie role of his career. 

When Quaid isn’t busy with movies and music, you can find him hanging with his many animals.

The countdown clock is ticking and it is so good to be with you to wave goodbye to 2021 – together! This was another monumental year. One that was as complex as it was challenging, but it definitely had us searching for connection at every turn. That’s exactly why Paula put her news hat back on – to connect the big dots of the year with her top 21 stories of ‘21. 

Last week was all about the seven PEOPLE who kept us talking. This week Paula and her favorite co-host (and co-parent and very co-operative husband), John, are taking you to the seven PLACES that caught our attention. 

Buckle up because we’re going here, there, and everywhere. From the ongoing fight on the homefront over paid leave to chaos on the front steps of our nation’s capital over voter distrust... From the cooling of America’s longest war to the heated conversations inside school board meetings and courtrooms across the country... From the Billionaire Space Race to the race to stop climate change... Paula and John break down what went down in the most talked-about places of 2021 and take a look at what lies ahead for our families, communities, country, and world.

As mentioned in this episode, here are just a few of the organizations providing vital support in Afghanistan, along with links to learn more about how you can use your voice and donate on behalf of children and families at risk:

World Vision

The International Rescue Committee

UNICEF

The year-end countdown is here! Before the 2022 ball drops, Paula is putting her news hat back on to take you through the top 21 stories of 2021. Joining her for this conversational look-back is her husband, John Krueger, the everyman with the best announcer voice this side of a gameshow! Paula and John kick off the 3-part series this week with the PEOPLE who kept us talking – and these seven individuals have the Gold medals, Super Bowl rings, and receipts to prove it. From mental health to the health of the nation, from cheering to Britney’s freedom to chants of Let’s Go Brandon – and just why is gluten-free fan Tom Brady talking about bread all of the sudden? The people who made this list gave us plenty of reasons to talk, laugh, argue and even come together! Paula and John discuss what impact they each made in 2021 and what’s ahead for these big names in the new year.

New York Times bestselling author, Jen Hatmaker, is opening up about overcoming a year of grief, how she learned to get through it instead of over it, and she shares her advice for making it through the holidays after going through a divorce or losing someone you love. Her marriage suddenly ended at the start of the pandemic after 26 years, and she says it sent her into a deep depression where she experienced an array of health issues for the first time. After some time and the unwavering support from friends and family, Jen started to work on her 15th book, which is a cookbook she partially credits with saving her life (coming out in the fall), and she committed to doing the personal work required to get through the trauma instead of trying to find a way around it. She also talks about the one holiday tradition she refuses to let go and the deal she made with her sons to keep them participating every year.

ABC News’ Amy Robach, and her 90’s heartthrob actor and husband, Andrew Shue, are currently exploring Antarctica, but before their trip they took sometime to catch up with Paula. The duo talk about their love story, the struggles of becoming a step-parent (something 40% of families across the U.S. are coping with), and their blended family that inspired their new children’s book, “Better Together.” They open about Amy’s breast cancer diagnosis three years after they were married, how it impacted their relationship, and also how it inspired them both to live life more fully. Amy and Andrew also talk about how much therapy has helped them over the years, especially in building trust in one another, saying it’s unlikely they would be where they are today without it.

Paula is reuniting with her former Good Morning America co-host, Dan Harris, who recently left ABC News after more than 20 years. He is taking his own leap of faith, pursuing the “Ten Percent Happier” company he co-founded, which focuses on creating a healthier and happier you through meditation. Dan gets candid about the challenges of starting a company and the toll of trying to juggle it all. The two friends reminisce about their days behind the anchor desk, how they both gained the courage to leave behind something they loved to pursue their callings, and how their friendship has grown stronger despite sharing very different outlooks on polarizing subjects.

Amy Brown, an award winning radio co-host, podcaster, and philanthropist, sits down with Paula to talk about her journey to success, identifying the trusted voices to lean on when taking a leap of faith, and overcoming struggles with unique approaches. Amy has been a co-host of iHeartMedia’s “The Bobby Bones Show” for the last 15 years, broadcasting internationally to millions of people daily, but before that she had zero experience in the field, a job she enjoyed and a pay raise in her future; and yet she decided to press into her fear and take a chance on a job that excited her. She also opens up about the influence her mom has had on her life and how the #PimpinJoy movement grew from a motivational mantra during her mom’s battle with cancer to a clothing and accessory line that benefits organizations and initiatives in Haiti. The mother of two also shares her journey to adoption after dealing with infertility issues and what she has realized four years later that she hopes other families will keep in mind. She also opens up about her struggles with depression during the pandemic and how she discovered that puzzles held the key to a new slice of happiness.
