  • Deathbed Miracles

    Deathbed Miracles
    2025/07/23
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it’s Wow Wednesday. I always try to share awe-inspiring or surprising stories with you on Wednesdays, so I went back to one of our older books and found a couple that I really love from one of our biggest bestsellers, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Touched by an Angel. They are both about what I call “deathbed miracles.” We do get a lot of stories about miraculous things that happen even during an awful time, the death of a family member. It’s nice to hear these stories that provided so much wonder and comfort to family members. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Get Outside in Nature

    Get Outside in Nature
    2025/07/21
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. I’m continuing to share stories with you from our new book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Self-Care Isn’t Selfish. We made this book because this is such an important truth for us all to embrace. I’m sure you’ve been through plenty of things where you have NOT put yourself first, where you didn’t even put yourself on your to-do list AT ALL. And that’s not good. It’s bad for you and it’s bad for all the people you take care of too. Because you’re no good to them if you’re frazzled and exhausted and starting to get resentful because your needs are not being addressed. Learn more about your ad choices.

    2025/07/18
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and it’s Friend Friday, which means I’m chatting with someone interesting from the Chicken Soup for the Soul world. Today I’d like to introduce you to Liz Palmer, who wrote an inspirational story for our latest book about cats, and also has such an interesting background that I wanted you to meet her. This is pretty amazing. Liz is an athlete and coach, but here is what blew me away. She was Ms. Nevada Senior America for 2022 and Ms. California Senior America for 2024. And she was 3rd runner up to Ms. Senior America in each year - 2022 and 2024, for the whole country. And talk about athletics, too. Liz is the current American record holder in the 60-meter hurdles for women over 50. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we have a new book I’m very passionate about. It’s all about how Self-Care Isn’t Selfish. This is such an important truth for us all to embrace.

  • Me Versus the Male Directors of a Private Club: I just wanted to play tennis Saturday morning

    Me Versus the Male Directors of a Private Club: I just wanted to play tennis Saturday morning
    2025/07/11
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I’m going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don’t know what Medium is, it’s a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else’s publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. This story appeared in a publication called The Narrative Arc, and it’s called Me versus the Male Directors of a Private Club and it talks about what I had to do to be able to play tennis on Saturday mornings.

    2025/07/09
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. We are having so much fun with our latest book about miracles--because the stories are so surprising, and they are for EVERYONE, not just people who are religious. We have the most amazing coincidences in this book and I love sharing them on the podcast, so today I’m going to do it again, starting with a story from one of our regular writers, Tara Flowers, about the miraculous things that happened to her at a funeral that she didn’t want to attend for someone she didn’t know.
