Prioritizing Life With Adrienne Banfield Norris

We’re turning our feed over to one of our favorite podcasts: Happier with Gretchen Rubin. Gretchen is HAPPIER, and she wants you to be happier too. The #1 bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before gets more personal than ever as she brings her practical, manageable advice about happiness and good habits to this lively, thought-provoking podcast. Gretchen’s cohost and guinea pig is her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles, who (lovingly) refers to Gretchen as her happiness bully.  In this episode, Gretchen and Liz discuss a fun summer challenge of focusing on a specific theme or goal. We also include a few helpful, fun hacks, and we share some of listeners’ favorite words—a delightful collection of language.

This week we’re introducing you to a powerful new podcast, Senseless with Erika Mahoney. Everything changed one ordinary Monday, when Erika Mahoney’s mom called to say there was an active shooter at the grocery store nearby. In a matter of seconds, ten people were killed – including Erika’s father.  With the high-profile trial of the shooter as a backdrop, Erika speaks to survivors of mass shootings, community leaders, and others impacted by the tragedy in Boulder, on her deeply personal quest to move forward after the unthinkable. Mass shootings have become a daily, uniquely American tragedy. But what happens to those left behind afterward? Senseless is a raw, unfiltered journey through grief, trauma, resilience, and moving forward after your world shatters forever. We’re going to play you a clip from the first episode when Erika’s life gets turned upside down.

This week we’re sharing a powerful new podcast from Lemonada Media and Campaign Zero: Still My Baby. This powerful, intimate limited series that tells the untold story of one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history - the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.  This isn’t your typical courtroom drama or news recap. This is a mother’s story. It’s a raw, deeply intimate portrait of Mike’s family told by those closest to him. The series traces the years before August 9th, 2014– before everything changed. Still My Baby follows the family’s journey through grief and healing in the aftermath of tragedy, and how they rebuild themselves to where they are today. We’re going to play you a clip from the first episode.
