    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Have you ever had a miraculous save from a potential disaster? Maybe even a fatal accident? We get these stories all the time from our writers, and we included some great ones in our latest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Miracles, Angels & Messages from Heaven. You don’t have to be a religious person to enjoy these stories. They’re just plain cool. And I’ll be sharing a lot of them with you over the next couple of months because they make for great storytelling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Force Yourself to Try New Things

    Force Yourself to Try New Things
    2025/05/28
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. We’ve been talking all summer about how you can step outside your comfort zone and make your world bigger, and also feel empowered, energized, enthusiastic, and excited. Lots of good e words. We’ve heard about from our writers who tried lots of things that scared them, including parasailing, roller coasters, mud runs, zip lining and more. And today I have a story from you about an Albert Einstein impersonator who describes in fascinating detail his first and probably only time skydiving, and another story from someone who faced her fear of sharks, etc. and ended up communing with sea turtles as she tried snorkeling for the first time.

  • It’s Amazing How Much You Can Accomplish in 60 Seconds

    It’s Amazing How Much You Can Accomplish in 60 Seconds
    2025/05/26
    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 Crow’s Feet, and it’s called It’s Amazing How Much You Can Accomplish in 60 Seconds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • When the Cat’s a Hero

    When the Cat’s a Hero
    2025/05/23
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Cat, which is our latest best-selling book of cat stories. We were overwhelmed with submissions for this book over the past two years, because it seems like every cat owner has a story about how their cat improved their life, made them a better person, taught them how to live in the moment, and other good things like that. And almost all of the cats in our book were rescues of some kind, either from a shelter or as stray cats that found a home. What’s amazing is how often those RESCUED cats become the RESCUERS, and also HEROES. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    A Random Meeting, a Miraculous Family Reunion
    2025/05/21
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it’s Wow Wednesday. I have two really amazing stories to share with you today, ones that continue to be top of mind for me even though I’ve published more than 17,000 stories during my tenure as editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul. These are stories about Americans finding long lost relatives through the strangest circumstances via conversations with random people thousands of miles from home. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • When a Dog Person Becomes a Cat Person

    When a Dog Person Becomes a Cat Person

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Cat, which is our latest best-selling book of cat stories. We were overwhelmed with submissions for this book over the past two years, because it seems like every cat owner has a story about how their cat improved their life, made them a better person, taught them how to live in the moment, and other good things like that. But first, of course, you have to get a cat, and for people who considered themselves to be “dog people” that’s a big first step. So today, I’m sharing a couple of stories about just that, starting with one by Victoria Lorrekovich-Miller. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    A Dog's Purpose
    2025/05/16
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m continuing to share some of the truly entertaining stories from our latest book called What I Learned from My Dog. So one of the themes in this book is how dogs thrive when they have a purpose, a job of some sorts, and that’s what we’re talking about today, with a dog that goes to court every day, and another dog that delivers the mail. They could have led lives of leisure, but they had other ideas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it’s Wow Wednesday. We had Wow Wednesdays on the podcast years ago and I don’t know why I stopped, because the stories are really good. After all, we chose them from thousands of submissions for the books they were in. Today I’m sharing a couple of my favorite stories about dreams, ones that were so worth listening to. It’s amazing how often we see stories like this, about dreams that are life-changing.
