LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

It's not Christmas without "Last Christmas", released by English pop duo WHAM! 40 long years ago. I'm in disbelief that I've been spinning that tune for as long as I have. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley - as WHAM! - set out to conquer the music world in 1982. They were still teenagers! And it was in 1986 they performed together as WHAM! for the last time after successfully completing their mission. Hit after hit - "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go", "Freedom," "I’m Your Man",  and of course, "Last Christmas", made their time in the spotlight white-hot. The lifelong friends became one of the most globally successful pop acts of the 1980s, selling more than thirty million records worldwide! Join Andrew Ridgeley and me as we talk of the old days, of his friend, George Michael, of the Netflix's feature documentary, "WHAM!", the BBC1 production, "WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped", and so much more. We've saved it for someone special!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Need a laugh? Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, my podcast guest, is one of the most successful stand-up comedians today with six comedy specials streaming on various platforms and selling out theaters across the world.   She may be most well known for her hilarious Nail Salon Sketch that's become part of our everyday vernacular. Most recently she launched a Mental Health podcast called Funjelah that focuses on gratitude, because, in Anjelah's words, "When you remind yourself of what you’re grateful for and say it out loud, you’re not only speaking good into the world, but good into yourself."  Funjelah offers dose after healing dose of gratitude and humor.

The last guest I had in my recording studio before the Covid curtain fell, was the insanely talented and twice as charismatic, Richard Marx. That was waaaay back in January of 2020, and today we're finally getting another chance to get caught up with one another.

My guest, Laura Geller, and I are celebrating women today - and mature women especially! Laura Geller's line of beauty products is specifically formulated for women over the age of 40 (while used and loved by all ages!). She began her career as a theatrical make-up artist in New York City and soon had her own beauty and cosmetics boutique in Manhattan. Her decades of serving women of all ages and stages has helped her to build a signature line of beauty products that meets the needs of women too often undervalued. (But no more!) It's a great story I know you're going to love.  October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're taking the opportunity to encourage all you ladies to go get your girls checked!

Family is what today's podcast guest stands for. Glen Meakem, Founder and CEO of a brilliant company called FOREVER shares how he was inspired to find a solution to his family's quandary of precious photos, film, and video that was stored haphazardly, inaccessible, and in danger of being lost. (Sound familiar?) His solution spawned a whole new business venture.

Several million people, myself included, I fell in love with today's podcast guest around the same time - when a poem he wrote and published to his Facebook page went viral. It began, "my brain and heart divorced a decade ago over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become.."  and we could all relate.  This father of three and stand-up comic had turned to writing some years earlier to try and sort out the tsunami of anxious thoughts that threatened to overtake him and carry him out into a sea of defeat. It worked. Kind of. It's a work in progress. But there IS progress. For him. For me. For countless others who have discovered his work. Please join John Roedel and me today.

Impactful author, Mitch Albom, comes alongside today with some powerful messages of hope and healing. His last two books, "Finding Chika", and, "The Stranger In The Lifeboat", are inexorably tied, the first about the grief of losing his daughter, and the second, about healing. The drifting lifeboat a metaphor for desperation, of crying out to God for help, (and demanding the cry be answered with the swiftness and accuracy of a fast food order). Mitch and his wife, Janine, have dedicated their lives to caring for the forgotten children of Haiti, where they met Chika.

Twenty years ago, on September 11, 2001, our world changed forever. Stephen Siller, a young firefighter from Staten Island was one of thousands of lives lost while trying to save others from the collapsing twin towers. Afterward, his family, lead by brother, Frank Siller, started the Tunnel to Towers Foundation with the mission to pay off the mortgages of fallen first responders, easing the financial burden of loved ones left behind. Since that time, they've expanded their scope to encompass families of all first responders who don't make it home, and are building some of the most advanced "smart" homes for mortally wounded military personnel. It's their way of honoring their brother's life and by taking the advice of St. Francis, "Brothers and sisters, while you have time, do good." This is a powerful, moving, podcast episode on the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Country music is part romance, part mystery, and part yearning for a simpler time. Lee Brice brings that all to the table - and to our podcast today - with "Hey World" his 5th studio album. This larger than life country artist is kindness itself, and that theme runs through all his music, old and new. I was especially touched by the singles, "Sons & Daughters" which speaks to the single truth that for all our differences, every one of us "is somebody's son, somebody's daughter" as well as "Lies" uncovering the sad reality that "the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell are the one's we tell ourselves..." Of course there's upbeat, fun, and funky tracks too, like "One Of Them Girls", "Atta Boy" and "Don't Need No Reason." "Hey World" is a much needed anthem to help us navigate the crazy on our way back to some much needed stability.

Josh and I go waaaaaaay back, before he was a global superstar (but very well on his way!) His recordings have become nearly synonymous with the Delilah Christmas program; that smooth, soulful, touch-your-heart sound. It's been a while since we touched base though, so I'm so tickled to have him join me on the podcast today.Mr. Groban has a beautiful new album that dropped last week, 'Harmony' - it includes some covers, some collaborations, and some brand new pieces that weren't originally intended for the project, but came from the time Josh had in his studio during the spring's lock-down. (The incredible music that has come from this terrible situation reminds us that life is full of silver linings!)We get to hear all about the album and all about what's going on with the one and only Josh Groban - including musings on how learning to cook and making music have several similarities!

What I LOVE about having a podcast is being able to have real, uninterrupted, conversations with interesting, talented and inspirational people. This episode of "LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah" is just that kind of conversation, with a woman who truly has and does it all! Morning co-host of the most popular programs on television, singer, composer, author, actor, and loving wife and mother, the incredible Kathie Lee Gifford joins us today for some girl talk, and the inside scoop on her new movie, "Then Came You." It's a delightful rom-com - proving our second act can be just as scintillating as the first - filmed in the Scotland Highlands and co-staring the hilarious Craig Ferguson. Of course, Kathie Lee wrote the screenplay and the soundtrack... Join us as she dishes on her co-stars and why she chose them for their roles, how she's navigated life after losing her husband, and what might be next for this multifaceted sparkling gem of a woman.

What's the first thing you think when you get lousy service at a restaurant or at a hotel? Most of us are not happy, we're paying for service and expect to be treated like royalty! Today's guest on LOVE SOMEONE, Kevin Finch, of BIG TABLE is serving up some food for thought and reminding us that a healthy dose of compassion feeds the soul.A once upon a time, pastor-by-day and food critic-by-night, Kevin, who spent a lot of time ministering to people, sensed a very great great need in the service industry - if you combine food service and hotel workers, this sector far exceeds any other organized work force in America. It's made up of some of the most vulnerable, at-risk people in our society. Low pay, long hours, crazy shifts, covered by at-risk teens, single parents, immigrant populations, and those who have served time... Barely living paycheck-to-paycheck with no guaranteed hours or benefits. It's a population plagued by addictions and circumstances beyond the comprehension of most of us who go out to dinner or on a vacation.Kevin is working to fix this, flipping the script in a completely novel way. He's setting up his BIG TABLE (it's real and seats 48!) in communities like his home town of Spokane, Seattle and San Diego - and hoping to be in 10 cities across the country in 10 years. He serves those who serve us at his pop-up underground restaurant - and in daily conversations over cups of coffee. Whether it's much need transportation, supplies for a new baby, or educational assistance, you never know what might be dished up by BIG TABLE. Join us for one of the most fascinating stories I've heard in a loooong time! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The novel coronavirus pandemic brought confusion and frustration to the world. The question, "What do we do now" echoed around the globe. Jon Bon Jovi answered that question, in action, word, and song. "When you can't do what you do, do what you can." was the caption to an instagram shot of him washing dishes at JB's Soul Kitchen, a community restaurant where "all are welcome, and locally-sourced ingredients, dignity, and respect are always on the menu." Those words became the chorus to another Bon Jovi anthem, one that is sorely needed right now, providing purpose and passion at a time of great need.Jon joins me today to talk about the single, "Do What You Can", and his upcoming album, "Bon Jovi 2020" set for an October release. The band decided not to just postpone their world tour, but to cancel it altogether and refund ticket purchases, because, as he said, "People need money in their pockets right now." Listen in, Jon is as warm and wonderful as ever, and has some important advice to all Americans. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My heart be still! Talking with me today is one of America's most endearing heart-throbs. Harry Connick, Jr. is dialin' in to share the amazing journey he's recently taken with his film-maker daughter, Georgia. Traveling over 3500 miles in a rented RV, this dynamic duo set out from their home in Connecticut stopping in numerous cities and towns along the route to listen to the stories of essential workers - the janitorial staff and garbage collectors, grocery and gas station attendants, truckers, food preparers, and more. They listened, they learned, and many celebrity friends "Zoomed" in too, giving their heartfelt thanks to these heroes who represent the heartbeat of America.With a television crew following and filming (while practicing safe distancing and mask-wearing) the Connick's incredible journey came to an end in New Orleans. The footage captured became the CBS special "United We Sing: A Grammy Salute To The Unsung Heroes" which can now be seen on CBS All-Access, and Harry's new single "Stars Still Shine" can be downloaded where ever you get your music. All proceeds from the single will benefit the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music,- a phenomenal organization I encourage you to check out.

She plays Kate Pearson on the hit show, "This Is Us," but her name is Chrissy Metz, and if you didn't know it because of her TV show, or her role in the movie, "Breakthrough", you're now going to know it as a recording artist! Last year Chrissy joined me on the podcast to tell us all about her movie, but somehow we neglected to talk about the fact that she'd lent her talent to the soundtrack - this lady has some serious pipes as well as acting chops! She's now signed with a record label, and is working on a full album (no thanks to the coronavirus!) Her first single, "Talking To God" is getting a lot of airtime on Christian, Country, and A/C stations - yes, it's THAT good!

The vast majority of us have, at one time or another, benefitted from the TLC of a nurse. It's a grueling profession with long hours on your feet, strange shifts, not entirely pleasant duties (understatement!) and is often taken for granted. So here's a question for you, who takes care of the care givers? Shannon McPeek has always likes hepling others, this personality trait led her to the nursing profession, which she finds immenently rewarding, but sooooo stressful!

Where are you with your dreams? Are you still pursuing them? Are you living them? Have they been put on a shelf or have some been taken from you? Katy Perry is a woman with dreams and I am so thrilled for her that one of her BIG dreams is coming true - the dream of motherhood. Katy broke the news to her fans through - what else - music! With her single, "Never Worn White" and she's now released another chart-topper, "Daisies."Of "Daisies" she tells me, it's about the noise... All the racket that can occur when you 're working toward a dream when others, even well-meaning family and friends, want to weigh in, and how important it is to create your own path in life. She also says it speaks to the times we're living in now. The "pause" button has been pressed and we're all anxious for "play" to resume, and when that happens, all of us need to take our dreams off the shelf and start living them!Listen in! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mental health is beginning to lose the stigma its been wrapped in for much of recent history, but there is sooo much work still to be done, and sooo many conversation still to be had on this topic. Singer, songwriter, activist, and scholar, Jewel, has spent much of her adult life researching and enacting effective ways to deal with anxiety and depression, and then share her work with the world. She'll tell you (and I'll agree with her) that as obsessed as we all are with "hacks" they simply don't exist for getting through grief and emotional healing. What does work? Join us on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah as we discuss her theories and she talks about the book she's working on.

Show of hands for all of you who love singer/songwriter Jewel... Mine's up in the air! Since her break-out hit, "Hands" in the fall of 1998, this sweet and sparkly Jewel is much beloved, but I'm willing to guess that many of you are just as clueless as I was as to the absolute powerhouse of intellect this woman is!Raised in circumstances of dire need, without the security most of us have always taken for granted, Jewel has always been a crafty survivor, but she has grown into so much more. Her philanthropy stretches across continents and is also strongly felt on our shores. She started by offering to others, who were looking for ways to bolster their mental health, the coping practices she developed for herself during a brief time of homelessness. From there, she's developed several more projects, each targeted at helping vulnerable populations. Her latest work is a film, "Lost In America" about our homeless youth, and of course, her own music provides the soundtrack. The single, "No More Tears" is out now, and we're going to talk about that and so much more on this episode of Love Someone with Delilah. It's Part 1 of 2 and I know you're going to want to join me next time to hear the rest! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Valentine's Day podcast episode is all about The Heart. Specifically, about the Healing Heart... and even more specifically, how art can be a soothing balm for an aching heart.My guest, Elizabeth St. Hilaire, is a successful artist, teacher, author and innovator. I stumbled onto her work when I was grieving deeply, and found submerging myself into the art techniques she developed (and went on to share with the world,) had an immensely therapeutic and transformative effect. Elizabeth's own heart is made of gold, and she and I have become good friends. I'm so happy that she agreed to join me on LOVE SOMEONE to encourage anyone and everyone to give art and creativity another try. If you've experienced a loss and/or find yourself in place of vulnerability, or if you're the type to proclaim that you don't have any talent or aren't creative... this episode is for you.

In the studio with me today is Wayne Chimenti, a retired tall boat captain, and an active program director and mentor to youth involved in The Community Boat Project of Port Hadlock, a maritime community in Washington State. Wayne is accompanied by a few of his interns working on the Shelter From The Storm, program, a subset of the larger organization that is busy building tiny homes.I found Wayne and his group of merry builders when trolling through on-line classified ads late one evening. I ran across a tiny home for sale that caught my fancy. When I made further inquiries, not only did I learn about the item that had been posted, I found about an incredible group of people working to better the lives of students through some amazing experiential learning.

With me today on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, is Emmy and Tony Award winner singer, actor, educator, and downright beauty, inside and out, Ms. Kristin Chenoweth. I became a fan of Kristin's after watching her perform on Broadway in Wicked. In fact, I saw her in that role at least three times! Kristin has a new album out, "For the Girls," a celebration of music’s most passionate women from one of Broadway’s most vibrant stars. It includes songs such as “The Way We Were,” (Streisand) “When I Fall in Love” (Garland) and - my favorite - "Desperado" (Ronstadt). If you're lucky, you can catch Kristin this November at one of only 8 performances on Broadway as she premiers the songs from this new hit album. In addition to her singing and acting career, Kristin's heart is in coaching and supporting the arts through the Kristin Chenoweth Arts and Education Foundation. This started after the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, in her home town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, named a theater after her. Kristin felt a responsibility to uphold the honor they had placed in her and started teaching a yearly master class to a few high school and college students. That evolved into the Kristin Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp, supporting 50 students from all over the nation. She's now in the process of building a creative arts center that will cater to the underserved youth of Oklahoma providing training in Crafts, Drawing, Design, and Writing - as well as serving dinner to it's enrollees! Kristin is doing her part, to make the world a better place one heart at a time and I am so happy that we were given this time to get to know her better! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cathy Parker was a bank employee, a wife, and a mother of 4 student athletes. She didn't have a lot of money, or power, and had ZERO knowledge of artificial athletic turf... but when her children called to her to watch a documentary about a  town in the northern reaches of Alaska, struggling to keep kids safe, engaged, and in school, she took action!Cathy answered a whisper in her heart, which led to a whole lotta shouting on the sidelines! Her book, "Northern Lights" tells the story of how she was able to get an artificial athletic field, purchased, transported, and installed in a town with no roads in or out. And, how she changed countless lives in the process, but none so much as her own.Northern Lights was my book club pick for August - check it out on my web site - and join us for this inspiring episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I welcome a guest into my studio who has spent his life in public service. Once upon a childhood, he was my neighbor, my classmate, and my friend. Today he is everyone's neighbor and friend. Kerry Tymchuk has worn many professional hats - first as a young public prosecutor, then on to several roles in Washington DC, and then back to Oregon where he is now the Director of the Oregon Historical Society. He's the son of a small town merchant/mayor, and a teacher; their attendance at every community meeting and event were almost guaranteed. Kerry, and his brother Keith, grew up with that ideal of service and have now become the models their parents once were. Keith (who I may have had a little tiny crush on...) became a teacher and returned to our home town where he too has served as mayor, and together with his wife, Jennifer (also a teacher), and children, are enmeshed in the fabric of the community.  In between official roles, Kerry has co-written 8 books with individuals who have had big impacts on our world, became a 4 time Jeopardy! champion, and served on numerous boards and causes, his favorite being the Special Olympics.  He is a husband to another mover and shaker, Becky, who is the president of their local school board, and a father to two young adults just now making their way in the world. His message to us? Find your place to serve, you always get more than you give! And please remember, "civility and decency still matter."  Thank you for joining us today, I hope you feel inspired! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's back to school time around the country, so I thought there would be no better way to kick-off September than with an episode honoring educators! I dialed up a couple of teachers that have had a huge impact on my life; Coach Jim Wells, who was an history teacher and an athletic coach for many many years in my home town of Reesdport, Oregon, and who, with his wife Mary Ann, also a retired teacher, continues to be a vital presence in our community. And Mike Allen, choral director of the high school three of my kids attended. He shares his passion for music with his students by creating some of the MOST AMAZING programs including an annual Madrigal Feaste and Broadway production that give students an opportunity to showcase their creative abilities as well as their musical talents.

Joining me today is a good friend, a career police officer, and the co-founder of an amazing organization called The IF Project; a collaboration of law enforcement, currently and previously incarcerated adults and community partners focused on intervention, prevention and reduction in the number of women incarceration and recidivism. The project is centered around individuals sharing their personal stories about incarceration. As Kim says, we ALL have stories, the felon, the police, the person you're standing next to. Finding the common denominator in our stories and tapping into the human connection, will help us to figure out the "what IF?" and take the steps necessary to change a life. Join us for a conversation that may challenge your perception of incarcerated women and hopefully inspire you to be someone that's the "IF" to another's story.  ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I Will Survive" has been the empowered woman's anthem for over 40 years, since the disco tune was recorded by Gloria Gaynor in 1978. (The year yours truly graduated high school!) There have been many times in my life that I've drawn strength from it's lyrics and fun, funky disco vibe to get me through rough patches, so imagine my delight at being able to tell the voice behind the message how much her music means to me! The inimitable Gloria Gaynor sat down with me recently to chat, and ooooooh boy, did we have a lot to talk about! Mainly, her fabulous new gospel album, "Testimony," just out! Full of fresh tracks, many featuring  folks I'm privileged to call friends, like Bart Millard, Jason Crabb, Yolanda Adams, and Mike Farris...  the music is somehow still familiar and eminently satisfying!

This episode of LOVE SOMEONE is going to be so much fun! I have a special guest with me today, best known for her acting roles on the small screen, the big screen, and on Broadway! But you might not know that she's an incredible singer/songwriter too! Rita Wilson has just released a new single, Throw Me A Party, her beautiful and moving position on an often difficult topic - our own mortality. Join us as we talk about Rita's life, her love (you might recognize his name,) and her music, and listen to her advice.

I'm excited to introduce you to a brilliant educator, Hattie Mitchell, founder of Crete Academy in the Hyde Park neighborhood of LA.  Hattie has always had a heart for the homeless, and as a young adult set her mind to changing the trajectory of homeless children.  Unlike me (who has a "by the seat of my pants" methodology) Hattie carefully laid her plans and set them to action. First she obtained her teaching degree, then participated in several programs gaining skill and insight that several years later would lead her to opening the doors of Crete Academy.  Join us on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE and hear how Hattie is changing the world ONE (little) HEART AT A TIME, and be sure to visit https://www.creteacademy.org/ if you've been inspired to help OR if you believe your community could use a program like Crete Academy.  Thanks for listening! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frontman for the band bearing his name, DAUGHTRY sang his way to prominence on the fifth season of American Idol. Since then he's released four albums, all of which reached the Billboard Top Ten and have combined sales of over 8 million copies in the U.S. You probably know him for one of his smash singles, "It's Not Over", "Leave This Town", "Break The Spell", or maybe "Waiting For Superman."  Recently I got to know him for so much more! Chris came to hang out for a day at the farm so he could get the lay of the land before he performs at my annual Farm to Feast garden gala benefitting Point Hope. We had such an amazing time together laughing, talking, and checking in on Zena the zebra, Emmy the Emu, and Peek-A-Boo's new pups. His single, "As You Are,"  from the 2018 album, "Cage To Rattle", was written with his wife Deanna; An incredible testimony to unconditional love, it wrecks me, He even put on an impromptu performance for me in the studio, and I'm still a-swoon. I'm so glad you're joining us today on LOVE SOMEONE to share in the Daughtry experience! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've admired the acting skills of today's guest for years and I've been equally impressed (and entertained) with his musical abilities! But it is his devotion to our Veteran's, our First Responders, and their families that propelled my esteem for him into the upper stratosphere. Gary Sinise is a man of talent, honor, and action. Join us as we talk about his new book, Grateful American, A Journey from Self to Service, and the work of The Gary Sinise Foundation, AND to hear of my own very personal (and profound) experiences with what Gary refers to as our "Freedom Providers." The audio quality of our interview isn't the best, but the man and his message are FANTASTIC on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cozy up with me and a warm hearted, country music icon, television (cooking!) show host, and all around great gal... I'm talking about the one and only Trisha Yearwood!

One late evening, while indulging in my favorite insomniac habit of watching documentaries, I stumbled upon Angela Tucker's CLOSURE.  This film, created by Angela's husband on a flip-phone, was only meant for her at the time of it's making. It's the step-by-step journey she went on to find her birth parents and something of herself she felt was missing. Angela, a bright, beautiful black woman was raised by strong, loving white parents in a predominantly white community. They gave her a loving foundation, a family, and a future, but her features did not match theirs - those of us who have no experience with this may not understand how difficult that can be for a child to process. Angela found her birth family and discovered many things about herself along the way. She also found her life's work created from a passion to help and support others on similar quests; sharing CLOSURE is one way of doing so.  Angela is among those warriors helping to make the world a better place, One Heart at a Time! Join us in the studio as she shares her story. ~ Delilah   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Mother's Day! To all of you who have been a mother; a birth mother, a step mother, an adoptive mother, a grandmother, a mothering aunt, a single dad that must carry both loads... I want to honor and thank you for a sometimes thankless job. Mother's are our unsung heroes, the givers of life, the ones who teach, who love, who sacrifice. Those who forgive the sometimes unforgivable, the supporters, the nurturers... The ones who care, always.I'm sharing some great calls from my archives that celebrate mother's and motherhood, and sharing my thought with you on the topic.

Exonerated after spending 45 years in prison for crimes he didn't commit - wasn't even remotely involved in - Richard Phillips has a remarkable attitude of grace and forgiveness. After seeing an article about him on-line, my staff tracked him down and he agreed to sit down and talk with me about his experience, his art, and his remarkable ability to stay positive and RISE ABOVE.  I'm thrilled to be able to share our conversation with you, and hope it provides some inspiration if you are going through rough times, or to to hold onto for future moments when you're not feeling too certain about things.  Enjoy! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a privilege it is to be able to chat with an actress I have admired for so long! I don't watch a lot of TV, but I'm hooked on "This Is Us" and adore the character of Kate Pearson! When I heard Chrissy Metz is starring in a new movie, "Breakthrough" out on April 17, I was really eager to talk to her about it! We were joined by producer, DeVon Franklin, who coincidentally produced an animated Christmas movie I had a few lines in, "The Star." It was fantastic to get to connect with them both!Join me on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, where I barely contain my excitement over being able to talk with these two!  "Breakthrough" based on an amazing true story,  is a moving testimony to the power of prayer and love of family and community! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This. This is exactly what I've been talking with all of you about; the idea that to change the world, you must only listen to - then act upon - those little whispers in the heart. That's what Barbara Marlowe did when she saw a newspaper photograph of a little girl who desperately needed help. Their story is in the book "A Brave Face"  which I encourage you to pick up and read.  Barbara and Teeba shared their story with me also, and I can not wait for you all to hear what they had to say.  It's touching, awe inspiring, and so full of heart and soul, it will make you weep with joy. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With me today is my dear friend, Josh Groban, who I've been watching and cheering on since I first met him as a young 19 year old. We're having a little stroll down memory lane, talking about what's happening in his life right now, and looking ahead to a summer tour! (Many many venues, some indoor, and some out-door!)Josh and I share the belief that children should be championed! He's doing all he can through his Find Your Light Foundation - supporting children involved int the arts. http://www.joshgroban.com/foundation/mission.

I recently got to cozy up to the charming and charismatic Pat Monahan, front-man for the iconic rock-band, TRAIN. We had such a good visit! Train is going on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls in the summer, they have a new album out, "Greatest Hits." and Pat's life is BUSY! But not too busy to share some time with us and never, ever, too busy to give credit to his wife, and love to his family. When you give this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah a listen, you'll soon discover, like I did, how much family means to Pat and how it influences his every waking - and sleeping - moment.

Wow. Just wow. What a phenomenal human is Tim Tebow! He stepped onto a football field and stole our hearts several years ago, and continues to hold them in his strong, capable hands! Football star, baseball star, founder of the Night To Shine Foundation, and now teaming up with his brother Robby as executive producers of the movie, "Run The Race."I ran into Tim while we were both in New York, he promoting "Run The Race", and me talking about my book, One Heart At A Time.  He graciously sat down with me behind some pipe and drape to have a genuine heart to heart chat about what love really is. My favorite quote from the conversation, "The greatest form of love is to chose the best interest of another person and act on their behalf." AmenI'm so glad I get to share my chat and Tim's warrior heart with you!

A raw and beautiful conversation with my friend and American music icon, Wynonna Judd. Wynonna is as real as real gets.

All month long we have been challenging everyone to choose love over all of the negativity that seems to be dominating our daily lives. It's especially crazy over social media and media in general. What is particularly concerning is that it's actually infiltrated real relationships. It's so puzzling as to why that kind of energy spreads like a horrible flu. Wouldn't it be great to have a vaccine for that? We can't offer a cure but we can offer a home remedy (a kind of calming cup of tea).
