  • Navigating that New Grandmother / New Mother Minefield

    Navigating that New Grandmother / New Mother Minefield
    Apr 3 2026
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited about sharing another couple of stories with you from our book for grandmothers. This is the best book ever for grandmas – and I should know, as I have seven grandchildren and they’re a huge part of my life. When you become a grandmother it’s so exciting, but also a bit like stepping into a minefield. You have your own expectations, but the new baby’s parents have expectations too, and theirs basically have to take precedence. They’re in charge. Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a lot of audiobooks out there, and a lot more coming, and I thought you’d enjoy hearing some of the stories narrated by professional actors.

  • When Grandma Makes Shopping Meaningful

    When Grandma Makes Shopping Meaningful
    Mar 30 2026
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited about sharing stories with you from our new book about being a grandmother. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Being Grandma will make a great gift for Mother’s Day or any other occasion. It’s filled with stories written by grandmothers and also by grandchildren and grown children about the grandmothers in their lives. I’m biased because I have seven grandchildren but I think this book is AMAZING. Today I want to share a couple of stories that will actually be helpful to anyone who is involved with taking kids shopping for gifts or providing gifts to children, as there are some good ideas in these stories about how to make shopping a more meaningful experience for kids instead of just the same old “more more more I want” kind of thing.

  • Deathbed Miracles

    Deathbed Miracles
    Mar 25 2026
    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
    Mar 23 2026
    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.

    A New Perspective on Grieving
    Mar 20 2026
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I want to share a couple of stories with you that I found so helpful. These are about grieving, and how, instead of just focusing on what you’ve LOST, you can also focus on what you HAD and be grateful for having had that. These stories are from a powerful new collection of stories that we selected from our library, all about how you can tap into your inner strength. Because we all have these reserves inside us just waiting to be called upon when we need them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
