Each week, we take a look back over the week to bring you the “Top 5 Moments” of OWN programming each week. Although it may not always be able to choose…we did our best!
- “Super Soul Sunday” with Caroline Myss – Many people get stuck in their disbelief that the ordinary happened to them. “Why me?” for sickness, job loss, broken marriage, etc. It happens. No one is excluded from the ordinary. Embrace it and learn from the lessons.
- “Oprah’s Next Chapter” with the Kardashians – Most people know who the Kardashians are whether they watch their show or not. They are everywhere. But as Oprah sat down with each of the family members, something emerged that wasn’t really expected. One of the underlying motives became clearer…doing the show and working together has become a strong rope that binds their family and relationships. The love was palpable and it is easy to see why all of them focus on working as much as they can. They don’t want to lose that connection.
- “Super Soul Sunday” with Caroline Myss – Big lesson: When you have the opportunity to protect yourself and you don’t, you are sending the message that you aren’t worth protecting and are no different from those who hurt you. You can’t place blame on those who hurt you if you allow it. It’s an honest way to break it down and keep it real.
- “Our America with Lisa Ling” – With nearly one in three young girls getting pregnant in their teens, Lisa Ling took viewers on a journey to understand the circumstances that led some of these girls to fast adulthood. In a society that seduces and pressures young teens very early on, we MUST have these conversations with young men and women. While highlighting a couple of programs that help to bring a glimpse of reality to teen pregnancy, Lisa Ling reminded us that it is so important to open up the conversation about sex and the reality of pregnancy and parenthood with kids today.
- “Oprah’s Next Chapter” with Bruce Jenner – Just loved when Bruce spoke of how he never displayed his medals around the house when the kids were growing up. Although there was pride and joy associated with his accomplishments, he never wanted his kids to feel they had to measure up to his success. He wanted them to be their own people. As for accolades, he now feels his kids are his gold medals.
