Publisher, editor-in-chief and coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Amy Newmark was a writer, speaker, Wall Street analyst and business executive in the worlds of finance and telecommunications for more than 30 years. Today she is publisher, editor-in-chief and coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. Since 2008, when Amy, her husband, and an investor group bought the company from its founders, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, she has published more than 100 new books, doubling the number of Chicken Soup for the Soul titles in print today. As publisher, Amy is credited with revitalizing the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand. She redesigned the look of the book covers and interiors, and changed the format of the title so that the books can cover topics of interest to today’s readers. This has led to national bestsellers such as Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Messages from Heaven, and Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us. By compiling inspirational and aspirational true stories curated from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences, Amy has kept the 21-year-old Chicken Soup for the Soul brand fresh and relevant, and still part of the social zeitgeist. Amy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University where she majored in Portuguese and minored in French. During her junior and senior years, she researched and wrote a thesis about popular, spoken-word poetry in Brazil, which involved living in Brazil for several months, traveling throughout its impoverished northeast region, and meeting with poets and writers to collect their stories. She is delighted to have come full circle in her writing career—from collecting poetry “from the people” in Brazil as a 20-year-old to, three decades later, collecting stories and poems “from the people” for Chicken Soup for the Soul. Amy works alongside her husband, Bill Rouhana, CEO and fellow co-owner of Chicken Soup for the Soul. She and Bill are the proud parents of four grown children and in her limited spare time, Amy enjoys visiting them, hiking, and reading books that she did not have to edit. Once taking over the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, Amy and her partners have extended the company much further than just books. Can you believe they even have the top-line of dog and cat food!? They care about their pets just as much as they do themselves. Amy is an incredible example of a powerhouse business woman. Just listening to her speak, it is obvious she is passionate about her work and it most definitely shows in the outcome! “Continuously reading all the stories in our books reminds me how grateful I should be for everything in my own life because I am exposed now, to what other people go through.” She teaches us how important it is to realize how lucky you are and how each and every one of us is here to serve and help those in need. “I find that the one thing that connects most of the stories I have read, is people saying 'I had no idea I was capable of this. I had no idea I had this much strength.'” She was a great reminder for me today, that we all already have the tools we need within us. “We can all be our own mechanics of our lives!” In this Episode You May Learn About: Entrepreneurship Business Branding Hardwork Perseverance Experiences Vulnerability Stories Self-Empowerment Resources: Chicken Soup for the Soul Book Series Simply Happy by: Amy Newmark The Chicken Soup for the Soul Podcast Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes TV show Project Dad TV show You can catch Amy Tweeting away on Twitter @AmyNewmark or go to see it all at chickensoup.com.

"We teach what we need the most” Planning for my largest event of the year, The Bliss Project, coming up next month, I have been overwhelmed with emotion and planning but at the same time, I wouldn’t trade this time of year for anything! “No matter where you are in your journey, you elevate! You set goals of what’s next and what’s scary. What else can I do? And how else can I grow?” We’ve all had the attack of the “You’r not smart enough” or “You’re not good enough” monster (which I am having right now,) but then I remember…this is EXACTLY why I do what I do and preach what I preach. “Tell you heart that the fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself.” -Paulo Coelho So as I sat here today, equally as excited as I am scared, please know that you are NOT alone with your feelings. You are not doing life alone and you are not dreaming alone! “Turn your face back towards the sun and you will immediately be helped, if you just ask for it!” In This Episode You Will Learn About: Retreats Women's Empowerment Planning Fear Blocks Gratitude Being present Growth Resources: TheBlissProject.info or loriharder.com The Alchemist by: Paulo Coelho Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook.

Growing up in a small town in Iowa, Tara comes from a background filled with meditation and dance. A simple and fulfilling childhood. “You could even say my parents were straight-edge hippies.” Having a ballet instructor who was ahead of the curve, a mixture of yoga and meditation had been brought into her classic learning from early on. “I didn't ever think it would become my career though, I always thought I would go study Business or Science.” In the late 90’s Tara had moved to New York and naturally began to share her gift of yoga, meditation and personal peace. Not even realizing that her simple practices could one day teach and serve. “It’s truly about you feeling better, its not about being “good” at yoga or meditation.” Due in just a few short weeks with her first child, this new mommy-to-be shares with us that the biggest lesson her nugget has already taught her (and she's not even born yet) is to slow down…simply put. “You have to learn the difference between being productive and just being busy.

"Nothing is good or bad, it just is.” After pulling my back (trying to move a couch to film my monthly workouts,) which not only effects my career as a fitness professional but also tampers with my everyday happiness, it has taken me the last few days to find my message in this “mess.” I wanted so badly to stay angry for being immobile all weekend but instead, I did a whole lot of praying and took this all as the message to slow the heck down! “In order to fully grow, to fully evolve and to fully understand our journey, we must welcome it all.” We must quit being so fearful and just allow things to be. Take the time today to feel how you WANT to feel, say what you WANT to say, and do what you WANT to do. Quit letting O.P.O’s (Other People Opinions) block you. So, how do you get from the beginning to the end, you ask? You go THROUGH…it all. Don’t make fear & pain your home.

“When you want something, all of the universe conspires for you to get it.” -The Alchemist Have you ever noticed that the thing you are focusing on the most ends up being given to you the most? Whether it is a conscious thought or an unconscious though, good or bad, where you place your focus will always end up in your lap. So, what does it feel like to be “on your path,” you ask? It feels easy. Plain and simple. Being on the detour or the path you THINK you should be on, but isn't quite the one, will give you the most problems. It’s when you feel like you're giving too much of yourself and not seeing the results in return. “You’ll feel like it’s costing you your power, like you're losing yourself.” The most magic happens when you begin to everything through love, with love. It’s not a perfect world, it is most definitely about give and take, but the only time things should be given is when it simultaneously makes YOUR soul happy too. “It is all about asking yourself... 'How am I going to feel with this next choice that I make?'” Look down at your feet (yes you, now) see that path? That’s the exact path you should be on.
