Can we trust our gut? How does change actually happen? We only book nice people who have a sense of humor and know things worth knowing.

    Thanks For Being Here "Stefanie's "Chicken Soup for the Soul"

    It’s often the little things in life that help us to get through the day: a cup of tea in the morning, gardening, puttering around the house and moving shoes, books and empty glasses back where they belong. We all have things which help us to stay grounded in the midst of a world that feels more crazy and frightening by the day. Stefanie Wass submitted her essay, “Chicken Soup for the Soul”, to share a soothing ritual which she has found gives her great comfort.

    Going Deep with Sophie Kinsella on Recuperation

    Kelly talks with bestselling author Sophie Kinsella (Shopaholic series) about life after her 2022 brain cancer diagnosis.
