How Beavers Built America, The 5 Habits of Hope, And Jackie Kennedy’s Christmas Legacy
How Beavers Built America, The 5 Habits of Hope, And Jackie Kennedy’s Christmas Legacy
Before railroads, revolutions, or even the idea of America itself, one animal with a grudge against running water built the foundations of our country. The beaver didn’t just shape rivers — it shaped history, and even sparked a war.
Then Sharon talks with psychologist and author Dr. Julia Garcia, whose new book The Five Habits of Hope offers a practical way to find your way back to hope, especially when life feels heavy.
Plus, how Jackie Kennedy reinvented Christmas at the White House, and began a tradition that still lives on today.
