You Have Permission to Remove Toxic People from Your Life Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I’m going to share with you my most popular piece 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 on two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. One of my most popular stories appeared in a publication called The Narrative Arc, and it’s called “You Have Permission to Remove Toxic People from Your Life” which is something I talk about pretty often because it took me so long to figure it out!

How I Knew My Mother Was Having a Stroke Aug 02, 2024

Show notes

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 “How I Knew My Mother Was Having a Stroke.” It’s a useful reminder of how to react if you think you might be witnessing someone having a stroke. Because, as the subtitle of my story says, Every minute counts when the brain is erasing itself.

Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone on a Mission Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Have you ever surprised yourself by doing something because you’re on a mission and then later you just can’t believe that you pulled that off? Sometimes, we just fly right through our comfort zones because we’re so focused on what we’re trying to accomplish. It’s cool when that happens because I feel like it permanently changes you—you never go back all the way to how you were before. You now know that you can things that you didn’t think were possible.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to talk about resolutions. It’s January, time to think about the ways in which we want to improve our habits, our behavior, and how we interact with the world.

But there are lots of other possible resolutions that are life-changing, or at least life-improving. So, I’ve been proposing some of those to you as well during the past month. And today we’re going to talk about what you can do if you don’t actually know what you want to do with your life.
