New Day with Sybil Amuti Sybil Amuti Ever wish you had a safe space to start something new? Welcome to New Day with Sybil Amuti (formerly The Great Girlfriends Show), an oasis where we begin again with courage. I’m Sybil Amuti, a passionate Christian, wife, mom, sister, friend, dog lover, and a woman who has spent the last decade building communities, teaching women how to sharpen their success toolkit, and doing the real work of growth in public. I love God and His people, and I bring that love into this space with clarity, conviction, and care so you feel seen, supported, and strong enough to move. Here, I share hard-won breadcrumbs from my journey and sit down with extraordinary humans who are walking their evolution out loud. Together we trade practical wisdom, real-life resources, and fire-tested, proven solutions you can actually use to begin again boldly. No pretending. No finish line. Just becoming, with intention. Welcome home! Become a Roadmaps and Breadcrumbs Neidy Lozada Roadmaps and Breadcrumbs is a conversation series about purpose, work, and legacy. Neidy Lozada talks with women entrepreneurs about the work they chose to build, the decisions and experiences that shaped it, and the people whose influence still appears in how they lead, create, and choose. The conversations look beyond the visible business to the person behind it: what formed her judgment, what she has questioned or changed, and what she is deliberately creating through her work and her life. Three questions anchor the series: Who made you? What conscious steps are you taking today to build the legacy you want? Fifty or one hundred years from now, what stories will be told about you? Solo episodes extend the same inquiry through Neidy’s reflections on purpose, work, authorship, and legacy. Hosted by Neidy Lozada, transformational strategist and founder of Soulful Sojourners. Modernist BreadCrumbs Heritage Radio Network Modernist Cuisine founder Nathan Myhrvold and head chef Francisco Migoya join host Jordan Werner Barry and executive producer Michael Harlan Turkell for Modernist BreadCrumbs, a special series taking a new look at one of the oldest staples of the human diet: bread. Start with starter and then take a look at the discoveries and techniques from Modernist Bread. Enjoy interviews with the bakers, scientists, chefs, authors, millers, and Bread Heads who are shaping the future of bread. We’ll take deep dives into the microbial world, heritage grains, flatbreads, and breads with holes, but we’ll also step back and look at how bread intersects with culture, fermentation, immigration, art, and tradition. Fire up your oven and follow the breadcrumbs. “That’s Myrony” (My + Irony) Alysha Myronuk Can you recall having an event in your life that was so absolutely mind-blowing it made you realize Had you not taken THAT drive at THAT exact time or gone to THAT restaurant at THAT exact moment, the conversation you had, or the person you bumped into, or the situation that just happened, would have never taken place?“That’s Myrony”!
