    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. Plus, lots of people wrote about their cats’ intelligence and their special skills, including for diagnosing serious illnesses, hence the name of today’s episode: Dr. Cat.

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m super excited about the new book I’m going to start sharing with you. For the first time – and we’ve been around for 33 years – we have this new topic, about how changing your habits can change your life. They can be big habits or small ones, but we all have some bad habits we probably would like to break, and some new habits we’d like to make a natural part of our lives. We might not even know what our new habits should be, but we’re looking for something that will make a difference. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • When Forgiveness Means Forgiving Yourself

    When Forgiveness Means Forgiving Yourself
    Jan 9 2026
    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: Let It Go, which is our best-selling self-help book from last summer. It’s all about how you can find freedom in your own life by using the power of forgiveness. It really works, too. I’ve adopted it in my own life, and now I even do what I call “pre-forgiveness”, saying to myself “Well if I’m going to forgive this behavior anyway I might as well not even get mad in the first place.” Pre-forgiveness is a great way to live.
