The Feast of San Gennaro NY turns 100 this year, and the 10-day celebration in New York’s Little Italy promises to be one of the most exciting ever! And we have some of the headliners joining our show today!

Please welcome someone I’m a huge fan of, Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti,” an Italian-American crooner who rose to national fame as a finalist on America’s Got Talent season 22, and he’s been entertaining ever since! Known for his deep baritone and larger-than-life personality, Sal revived the classic Rat Pack style of entertainment, and I’m thrilled to have him join us. Maybe he’ll even charm us with his legendary rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way.” Please also welcome the entertainment organizer for the Feast of San Gennaro, Jenna Esposito, a highly-acclaimed vocalist renowned for her dynamic tributes to “The Great Italian-American Songbook.” Jenna will be performing on the last day of the Festival, and we’re thrilled to also welcome her to our show.

The Feast celebrates the life of San Gennaro of Naples, who was Bishop of Benevento, Italy and martyred in 305AD by refusing to renounce his Christian faith during the persecutions of Christians ordered by Roman Emperor Diocletian.

The Feast of San Gennaro runs from Sept. 17-27 in NY’s infamous Little Italy, and raises money for a variety of charities. Jenna and Sal will tell us all about the festivities during our conversation about this 10-day party! And we can’t wait!!!

Please find my full interview with Jenna and Sal on all video and audio platforms of #LittleItalyPodcast & #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you here. Tell your friends, too! #SanGennaro

Ellie Laks, Hope & Healing From Animals

Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, is like a saint when it comes to animals, and she joins us today to talk about the nonprofit she founded to rescue and rehab severely abused animals. She also has a new book to talk about, “Gentle: Hope and Healing at an Animal Sanctuary.”

The Gentle Barn operates with a unique dual mission – nursing unwanted farm animals back to health while providing an opportunity for distressed children and adults to work with these animals to promote their own healing. The “Hug a Cow” program, for example, has become legendary.

Ellie has authored multiple books. Her latest is a children’s picture book centered on hope and healing through animal rescue. Inspired by the true story of a sick, orphaned calf named John Lewis, and his unexpected bond with a dog named Sky, the story highlights how quiet love, kindness, and resilience can transform anyone’s life – animal or human.

We will talk to Ellie about her journey to provide healing to humans and animals
through genuine love and care for all creatures. Her story has captured the hearts of many on how the animals at her sanctuary have become therapeutic mentors for humans struggling with trauma, grief, and stress. Simply put, the world needs more of what Ellie brings.

Hormones out of whack? Then please tune in to our show with Celine Hovette, hormone health specialist and author, “Take Control of Your PCOS: Naturally Balance Your Hormones, Restore Intestinal Flora, and Boost Fertility.” Co-authored with Dr. Vincent Renaud, the book offers a science-based blueprint to managing a variety of health issues that are unique to women.

The book explains how high-stress environments, poor diet, and endocrine disrupters sabotage our hormonal function and how to make small changes with a big impact. And yes, microbiome is discussed, starting with how to restore intestinal flora which can alleviate many PCOS symptoms from mood swings to chronic inflammation. And let’s not forget weight gain. Discussing which micronutrients, probiotics, and herbal therapies can tackle everything from thinning hair to infertility and stubborn weight gain. I put some of these remedies to the test, and instantly felt a difference.
