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 <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-5-habits-of-hope-stories-and-strategies-to-help-you-find-your-way-dr-julia-garcia/7c7d586db2861326?ean=9781400250851&next=t">The Five Habits of Hope</a> 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.
