Love Someone With Delilah

"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! Come on in and sit down with us, then put "Testimony" on your play list! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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! 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. 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.com See 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.com See 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 o

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.com See 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.com See 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!

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. Thank you for joining me on the special May episode of LOVE SOMEONE ~ Delilah   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.com See 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.com See 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.com See 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. We agree that for kids to find themselves, they must first find their community - the glue that holds them together - and Find Your Light helps to do just that!  Join us for a fun, inspiring, heart-to-heart chat, on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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." Amen I'm so glad I get to share my chat and Tim's warrior heart with you! "Run the Race" is in theaters February 22nd! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who could be a better guest to chat with on Valentines week than the ultimate heart throb, Mr. Michael Buble'?  In this conversation, my FIRST official LOVE SOMEONE podcast, you'll hear a completely different side to the world's favorite crooner. It's real, raw, and will take you through tears and laughter, but mostly it reminds us of the incredible, binding, healing, power of love.  My heart is so grateful we had this time together, and I'm thrilled to share it with you! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm talking to SIX time 2019 Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, amazing woman, Brandi Carlile on this podcast episode.  Join us as we chat about our farms,  our kids, our lives, and of course Brandi's music. Her latest album, By The Way, I Forgive You was nominated for 6 Grammy's (and won three!)  A favorite part of our conversation was when Brandi said she'd like to "Reintroduce us to our empathy. Remembering that everyone is somebody's baby.... there is no such thing as "just a junkie, criminal, immigrant... Everyone is somebody's baby."  Amen!

A raw and beautiful conversation with my friend and American music icon, Wynonna Judd. Wynonna is as real as real gets. When I lost my Zachariah, it was she who would hold space for me in the middle of the night, night AFTER night, as I wrestled with my loss, my grief, and my despair. We talked, texted, and cried together. I'm eternally grateful for this strong, loving, funny, huge-hearted woman.
