I had the great privilege recently of meeting up with two rather amazing people while in New York City. Dr. Jordan Kassalow, and Rabbi Jennifer Krause teamed up to write a sensational book, Dare to Matter, Your Path to Making a Difference NOW. Jordan is the founder of Vision Spring, a "compassionate capitalism" venture that has restored sight, livelihoods, and hope to millions of people the world over.  Jen is a beloved rabbi, whose words of wisdom and guidance Jordan tapped into to tell his story. It's a good one. If you've ever wondered how your unique gifts and talents could make a difference in the world, read Dare to Matter, you'll wonder no more!

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!

She's fun, gorgeous, real as can be, and she's here with us on LOVE SOMEONE!  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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! Fans (and whoa does she have fans!) may have never heard Trisha like this before. We're dishin' up truths about our lives and her spectacular main course, Let's Be Frank, an album of Frank Sinatra tribute numbers, 20 years in the making, now served. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
