Some days are better than others, and the day I sat down with a legend in the music industry, Clive Davis, was a very good day indeed! Clive has been bringing hits to the airwaves for over 50 years. He founded Arista Records and "discovered" an incredible number of artists that went on to become super star sensations. It was he who suggested to a young Barry Manilow that he should record "Mandy", and we all know how that went! Clive, nearly 94, and Barry, nearly 83, have teamed up once again to bring us one more hit. "Once Before I Go" has recently hit the Top 10 on the A/C Music Charts, and is hitting listeners right in the feels! Join us today to hear Clive tell us, why this, why now, why Barry?  I was so honored to have this conversation! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Dear Friend", a new book by mindfulness expert Michelle Maros, began as an unsent breakup letter and grew into a daily guide for grounding, resilience, and reflection.  It's a collection of 365 short, heartfelt daily notes that act as a gentle companion through life’s highs and lows.

Seven years ago life came crashing into Faith Broussard Cade in the form of a tractor-trailor rig that hit her car from behind. She sustained a concussion and a traumatic brain injury. Unable to return to her career as a school counselor, and struggling in her role as wife and mother, Faith had to figure out how to create a life where her injuries were a part of her story but didn't define her. Her practice of writing herself daily little "love notes" that reminded her that she WAS ENOUGH, and the decision to post them to social media, was transformative. Now a virtual mental health counselor, and a content creator that shares about her personal healing journey to inspire women to prioritize peace, boundaries, and emotional well-being in their lives and relationships, Faith add's "Shine Bright Anyway - 90 Affirmations That Declare You Are Enough When The World Says You're Not" to her long list of personal successes.

Nobody, but nobody, does Christmas like Michael Bublé does Christmas! This year he's gifted us with a beautiful new single, "Maybe This Christmas", recorded with Carly Pearce. He calls it "a special song that comes from a deep place" wrapping up his hope, his faith and his humanity, in a prayer for grace for himself and the world. I cried when I heard it. You will too. Michael took on a new role recently, as a coach on Season 26 of The Voice, and was gushing about it and the friendships he's forged with the other coaches when we sat down to chat. (Soon after our conversation, he became the first coach in the history of the show to have the top two artists on his team on his debut season!) He debuted "Maybe This Christmas" on the season finale, and today I get to share it all with you.

Hungry for a little inspiration? I've got a heaping helping of it on today's podcast episode. Grammy nominated Aloe Blacc, singer, songwriter, activist... is not only a great talent, but a great role model.

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.

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.

Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton was a young London stockbroker who visited Prague in December of 1938 where he discovers a large population of refugees fleeing the Nazis - and he knew he must do something, at least for the children. Back in London, Nick spent months arranging for foster families, passports, and documentation that would usher hundreds of children to safety... 669 children! 50 years later his story came to light in a remarkable way. Nick Winton lived his 106 years humbly, with the idea that service to others isn't a calling, it's simply what one does.Today, his son, Nick Winton, Jr., a soft-spoken, compassionate, storyteller joins us to talk about his dad and the film "One Life", starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, that is in theaters now. You'll be so moved! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Girls" is a love letter to Rachel Platten's children--perhaps to herself as well. And if you have daughters (or you ARE a daughter) you'll embrace it as your own. The singer/songwriter that brought you "Fight Song" always writes from her heart and we feel her music in ours. Join us for this sweet, intimate conversation where we speak of the dark times that inspire such powerful messages, and the light that's able to illuminate the chords and the lyrics. "Girls" has been out for a while, and her newest, "Mercy", has just been released. She's so amazing, you'll want to get to know her! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
