Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Darlene Love
12/31/202556 min
Christmas may be over, but we're still playing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on repeat, so let's take the opportunity to listen back to Julia's conversation with the Queen of Christmas herself, Darlene Love.
This week on Wiser Than Me, Julia is joined by 84-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer Darlene Love. From her early days singing gospel music in her father’s church to backing up icons like Elvis Presley to finally going solo at age 40, Darlene is a case study in never giving up on your dreams. She tells Julia about raising her sons while building her career, how to balance being strong and kind, and what motivates her to give her best performances. And Julia shares a story with her mom Judith about getting the wrong kind of laugh on the set of Hannah and Her Sisters.

Hearing a voice can change everything, so AT&T wants everyone to gift their voice to loved ones this holiday season, because that conversation is a chance to say something they'll hear forever. AT&T, connecting changes everything. It seems like everyone's shouting, "Protein!" from the rooftops lately, and that's fair. It really does maintain your muscles, and protein is a great way to recover after a hike or a run. But let's be honest, meeting your protein needs shouldn't require you to consume another sad, unseasoned chicken breast. Ratio Protein Yogurt has 25 grams of protein per cup. That's more than four whole eggs. Not only is it packed with protein, but Ratio Protein has a smooth and creamy texture, so there's no need to compromise great taste when hitting your goals. And get this, Ratio Protein's 25 grams of protein is the most protein per cup in the yogurt aisle, plus zero added sugar. This helps you get the fuel you need to power through your day. Ratio does the math so you don't have to. Head to ratiofood.com to find a retailer near you. (instrumental music) Lemonada. I love singing.
