How do you know when a chapter of your life is over and how do you leave it well? In this Pause with PK solo episode, I shares a chance conversation at a Miami Dolphins game that brought me back to a “Keeper” my mom saved more than 30 years ago: a passage about the art of the graceful exit. Life happens in seasons. Careers change. Friendships evolve. Relationships end. We move, divorce, change direction and outgrow versions of ourselves. And while I admit, I’m not always quick to close a chapter, I believe deeply in the importance of exiting one with grace… especially when it comes to careers and divorce (when possible!). This short reflection is an invitation to consider the chapters and seasons in your own life: what deserves to be held onto, what may be ready to end, and how we can honor what mattered without needing to stay there.Take a few minutes to Pause with PK… and wherever life takes you next, hold tight to the good.

What happens when two award-winning television veterans trade breaking news for breathtaking discoveries beneath the surface?Former NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders and Destination Dive creator, executive producer and underwater cinematographer Mike Zimmer join me for a fascinating conversation about the new season of Destination Dive on Discovery Channel.Kerry spent more than three decades with NBC News and TODAY, covering some of the biggest stories around the world. Mike's 40-plus-year television career has taken him from NBC photojournalist and producer to President of the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee, environmental advocate and now the creative force behind Destination Dive. Together, they're taking viewers beneath the waters of the Florida Keys… not simply to see what's there, but to discover the stories behind it.This season takes us from coral restoration and 600-million-year-old sponges to invasive lionfish, mangroves, AI-powered fish counts as well as shipwrecks and islands lost to history. Mike also shares the story behind 100 Yards of Hope, born from the environmental legacy work surrounding Super Bowl LIV, and why the corals planted off Key Biscayne continue to grow today.But at its heart, Destination Dive is about something both Kerry and Mike spent their journalism careers searching for: great stories. After decades covering difficult headlines, they're now introducing us to people working on solutions and reminding us how much there still is to discover, protect and celebrate.Destination Dive premieres August 16 at 8 a.m. on Discovery Channel.

Motherhood can be messy, demanding and downright exhausting, especially when you're trying to balance family, work and everything else life throws your way. But here's the thing: moms are a whole lot tougher than we sometimes give ourselves credit for.In this episode of The Paige Kornblue Show, I sit down with ESPN play-by-play announcer Jenn Hildreth and FOX Sports Senior Vice President of Talent Relations Aimee Leone for an honest, funny and reassuring conversation inspired by their book, Tough as a Mother.Jenn and Aimee interviewed dozens of accomplished women—including Olympians, broadcasters, athletes, coaches and executives—and discovered that behind the medals, television cameras and impressive careers are many of the same struggles mothers everywhere know well: mom guilt, impossible schedules, missed moments, asking for help and wondering if we're doing enough.We talk about why we need to "mother out loud," embrace the messiness, let go of the Superwoman expectation and remember that two things can be true at once: we can love our careers and miss our children. We can be grateful and overwhelmed. We can be strong and still need help.This conversation is also a special full-circle moment for me. I interned for Aimee at NBC Sports when I was in college. All these years later, we reflect on what I didn't fully understand back then about the working mother I watched lead with strength, kindness and grace.From soccer legend and Olympian Alex Morgan on the impossible expectations placed on moms to ESPN broadcasters Elle Duncan and Laura Rutledge on letting go of mom guilt, this episode is filled with honest stories, perspective and reminders for those days when motherhood feels like a lot.Because being tough doesn't mean doing everything perfectly.Sometimes it simply means remembering: you've got this, and you're not alone.https://www.toughasamotherbook.com/abouthttps://www.paigekornblue.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For many women, alcohol isn't the problem. It's simply become part of the routine.A way to unwind after a long day. A way to celebrate, connect with friends, or simply get through the week. But what happens when we begin to wonder if it's still serving us?In this episode, I sit down with Paula Devine, founder of Happiest Hour and a certified sobriety coach, for a thoughtful, judgment-free conversation about gray-area drinking, "mommy wine culture," and why more women are choosing to rethink their relationship with alcohol.Paula shares her own journey from believing alcohol helped her cope to realizing it was quietly taking more than it was giving—impacting her mental health, her peace, and her sense of self. Today, she helps women explore that relationship with honesty, compassion, and practical support, meeting them exactly where they are.Together, we discuss:• What "gray-area drinking" really means• Why you don't have to hit rock bottom to make a change• The connection between alcohol, hormones, sleep, and mental health• How to navigate social situations, mocktails, and changing habits• Finding more peace, clarity, and freedom through intentional livingWhether you enjoy an occasional glass of wine, have considered drinking less, or simply want to better understand someone you love, this conversation offers perspective without pressure and a reminder that every woman's path is her own.Learn more about Paula and Happiest Hour at www.HappiestHourAF.comFor more conversations, travel, wellness, and stories that help us all hold tight to the good, subscribe to my newsletter at www.PaigeKornblue.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some stories grip you because of the storm. Others stay with you because of what comes after.New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon has written more than a dozen books from leadership lessons drawn from coaching America's worst high school hockey team, to Michigan classics to his latest, The Gales of November, the untold story behind the Edmund Fitzgerald and the brutal, invisible world of Great Lakes shipping.In this episode, John and I cover a lot of ground: what makes a leader worth following, why disaster is almost never one thing, the Colin Powell quote every boss should keep close, and why first drafts are supposed to stink.

Grief doesn't follow a calendar. It shows up on the good days and the hard ones, the everydays and on holidays, in songs on the radio and quiet moments in the car. And for kids who have lost a mom or dad, it can feel impossibly isolating. This episode is a live conversation about all of it: grief, loss, resilience, and the power of showing up.I partnered with Empower, a national nonprofit supporting children and young adults who have lost a parent, to host a night at The Boca Raton centered on community, conversation, and a shared mission to strengthen Empower's South Florida chapter.I sat down with four powerful voices: Cara Belvin (Empower founder, on the moment that inspired her to build this one-of-a-kind mentor program for kids in grief), Logan Husband (FAU football player, on losing his father at five and the people who stepped in along the way), Jere Croke (father of four, on navigating life after losing his wife Detra and what "controlled chaos" looks like in real time) and Skye Dyer (singer, writer, and daughter of the late, legendary Dr. Wayne Dyer, on the lessons in love and kindness she carries with her).If you've ever lost someone, loved someone who has, or wondered how to show up for a friend in grief… this conversation is for you.www.PaigeKornblue.comwww.WeAreEmpower.orgHow to Get Involved with Empower:DONATE — fuel mentor matching, free programs, and Mother's & Father's Day events for kids in grief.
