On this nostalgic episode from our archives, Tiffany regales Katy with the details of a recent trip to the cradle of the Renaissance, including specific stops she made to research her latest book, a YA historical fiction thriller set in Florence in 1600. Also, we talk about how memory-provoking it can be to travel to a place that you haven't been in over a decade, but that you have a few extremely strong impressions of from past trips. Tiffany takes a jaunt down memory lane to her very first trip to Florence when she was 14, when she explored the city through the lens of her obsession with E. M. Forster's A Room with a View. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

O ator brasileiro Erik Marmo estreia em seu primeiro longa-metragem em inglês com o filme "BitterSweet". Baseado em uma história real vivida pela atriz Gabriela Kulaif, o drama aborda uma crise familiar desencadeada por um diagnóstico tardio de autismo, trazendo à tona temas como neurodivergência, trauma e reconciliação. Lançado nos cinemas dos Estados Unidos em junho, o filme já está disponível em plataformas digitais e tem estreia prevista no Brasil para o segundo semestre de 2025. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles De repente, uma crise intensa e explosiva com descontrole emocional e falta de diagnóstico colocaram a vida de um casal de cabeça para baixo. Os vizinhos pedem a intervenção da polícia, o marido é retirado de casa e a família fica separada por meses. O episódio aconteceu na vida real da atriz brasileira Gabriela Kulaif e do ator e diretor americano Steven Martini, que agora levam às telas "BitterSweet", uma história que acima de tudo fala sobre autismo. Steven Martini, que interpreta Sam, baseado nele mesmo, contou à RFI que escreveu o roteiro durante os dois meses em que esteve sob ordem de restrição, uma medida protetiva que o impedia de ver a esposa, Gabriela, e o filho, ainda bebê. O que, aos olhos dos vizinhos, foi entendido como um caso de violência doméstica, mais tarde foi diagnosticado como uma crise relacionada ao espectro autista. "Percebi imediatamente que havia uma história ali e me abri para um mundo desconhecido de pessoas presas em um sistema e que não sabem como enfrentá-lo. Especialmente para quem é neurodivergente, acontecem situações muito tristes e trágicas. Ao conhecer outras famílias e ouvir suas histórias, percebi que isso é mais comum do que imaginamos. Muitas pessoas passaram por experiências semelhantes, e quanto mais eu conversava, inclusive com assistentes sociais, mais histórias surgiam", conta o diretor. Steven tinha 45 anos quando foi diagnosticado. “Eu não gosto que coloquem carimbos nas pessoas, tento resistir, mas em certo ponto é preciso aceitar. Na verdade, aceitar abriu uma sensação de alívio, porque há certas coisas na sua vida que continuam voltando, e as pessoas gritam com você sobre certas coisas e você não sabe realmente o que fez de errado. Agora posso relaxar um pouco, não é pessoal", completa. Gabriela Kulaif vive Gigi, personagem inspirada nela mesma. A atriz e produtora relata que tudo fez mais sentido quando veio o diagnóstico do marido e, por isso, ela, que também tem um filho no espectro autista, achou importante levar a história pessoal às telas. “Quando a gente recebeu o diagnóstico dele, depois que já tinha acontecido toda a tragédia, a minha vida melhorou 100%. O nosso relacionamento melhorou 100%", conta. "Quando esse filme ficou pronto, eu fiz questão de falar para o meu marido, a gente tem que falar que essa pessoa, esse personagem, que era ele, está no espectro do autismo, porque eu quero que outras pessoas assistam a esse filme e se sentem vistas. E isso já está acontecendo nos festivais", diz a atriz. Gabriela destaca que o filme também gera identificação com pessoas com TDAH (Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade), bipolaridade e outras condições, além do autismo. “Eu acho que a gente explorar esse tema é importante para as pessoas entenderem melhor o que é uma pessoa com autismo, para ter cada vez mais o diagnóstico. Eu fiz questão de deixar super claro e gritar o mais alto para as pessoas ouvirem que isso é sobre autismo e trazer isso para a consciência das pessoas”, fala Gabriela. O longa independente é uma obra pessoal sobre trauma, amor, neurodivergência e redenção. Mas, além de trazer a discussão à tela, o drama agridoce também tem, como na vida, um equilíbrio entre tragédia e comédia acentuada pela interpretação de Steven Martini. Erik Marmo estreia em inglês nos cinemas O filme também marca a estreia de Erik Marmo em um longa-metragem em inglês. O ator brasileiro ficou famoso no Brasil no início dos anos 2000 por novelas como "Mulheres Apaixonadas", "Alma Gêmea" e "Começar de Novo". No telão vive Rodrigo, o advogado brasileiro da protagonista. "É diferente, o inglês é a minha segunda língua, então não tem aquela naturalidade automática que a língua portuguesa tem", relata. "Mas eu acho que é mais difícil para audição, para teste de elenco, quando você tem que pegar um texto rápido, ler e gravar para o dia seguinte", compara. "Claro que tem a questão do sotaque, mas o personagem é brasileiro, então é até bom que tenha. Em nenhum momento eu tive essa aspiração de tentar me passar por americano, de não ter sotaque", explica. "Mas eu acho que o meu inglês saiu bonitinho, acho que dá para o gasto. Pelo menos até o momento, ninguém reclamou do meu inglês nesse filme", brinca o ator. Há mais de dez anos em Los Angeles, Marmo abriu o leque de opções e não se restringe à carreira de ator. Aqui faz trabalhos de produtor, videomaker, treinador de futebol, modelo e até entregador de arranjos de flores feitos pela esposa. “Eu moro aqui em Los Angeles desde 2014, já faz bastante tempo e já fiz muita coisa. Cheguei aqui como ator, mas aqui nos Estados Unidos tem o termo do chapéu, o hat. Você adquire um chapéu novo para cada profissão, cada atividade que você faz. Então eu cheguei aqui só com esse chapéu, esse hat de ator e saí me desdobrando para mais um monte de outras coisas. Apresentei um programa para a Globo Internacional durante alguns anos, o 'Planeta Brasil', fiz algumas participações em séries de TV e agora tem esse filme, 'Bittersweet' lançando, que é um filme que é uma graça. Adorei o resultado final e tenho o maior orgulho de ter feito parte", diz Marmo.
In this deeply moving episode of The Grief Lounge, Sadie shares her honest experience of navigating the difficult emotions around her son's 18th birthday, a milestone made heavier by loss and the absence of his father. As a solo parent, she talks about the unique challenges of marking significant moments while carrying the weight of grief alone. Sadie reflects on how birthdays and other milestones can bring unexpected waves of sorrow and reflection, especially when trying to create some sense of normality for her son amid family struggles.Listeners will hear about the power of remembrance and storytelling in keeping loved ones close, even when they are no longer physically present. Sadie highlights that grief does not follow a clear timeline and often changes shape during key life events, encouraging families and communities to have open conversations about loss. This episode offers emotional support, practical coping ideas, and a reminder that it is okay to take time for yourself while working through the ongoing process of healing.If you have experienced loss or are supporting someone through grief, this episode provides a compassionate perspective on holding space for both joy and sorrow, especially within the realities of solo parenting and family milestones.Join The Grief Lounge community here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/Follow me on Instagram here @the_grief_coach_ukVisit my website here www.thegriefcoachuk.com

The reality of impermanence and the inevitable experience of loss is enough in life to give us a wound. On the path of transformation, we need a broken heart that only God—which can be referred to in many ways such as the Divine or the Absolute—can heal. Heartbreak is extreme in the times we are living in. Bittersweet has an in-between quality where we experience different deep feelings at the same time. Caring is needed to work with bittersweetness in an alchemical way. Grief is a spiritual enzyme. A broken heart encompasses the suffering of the world; it can be inspirational and turn us to want to relieve the suffering of others. A broken heart can teach us how to pray and have humility in the face of the awe, wonder, and mystery of creation. We can't understand the Divine, but we can cultivate trust which may start with recognizing that we don't. It's important to stay present to anger and outrage until we get underneath to the sadness that is there, which can allow the transcendent to come into play and for a hallelujah to arise. It's easy to bypass our personal wounds. We may see parts of us as enemies, but we only change by loving all of ourselves, which is not about indulgence. Personal wounds are a way into the objective wound of a broken heart. The Sage is established in universal love and loves us as we are. When we have a clear moment, we can re-affirm our intention to the Universe. When we feel lost, we can do the next right thing. Freely offering gratuitous goodness is a gesture of love. The point of living may be to experience both the human and the transcendent.

Instead of spending a miserable (and potentially hazardous) day inside one of the most amazing but sadly most overcrowded and unpleasant museums in the world, we've come up with a list of places you can go in Rome to find the same kind of art you'd find in the Vatican—and you'll probably have a much better time doing it! You're welcome. And don't miss your chance to visit Rome with us, on our intimate Rome listener trip, coming up in October 2025.

Welcome to Following Films, where we explore the creative journeys behind the films that inspire us. I'm your host, Chris Maynard.Today's guest is Steven Martini—an award-winning screenwriter, actor, musician, and the director of the deeply personal new indie film BitterSweet.This film is more than just a story—it's Steven's story. BitterSweet is based on his own real-life breakdown, a turning point that led to his late autism diagnosis and forced him to reexamine everything: his identity, his creative process, and his role as a father.Steven not only wrote and directed the film—he also stars in it alongside his wife, actress and producer Gabriela Kulaif. You might know his earlier work, including Lymelife and Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire, both of which earned acclaim and were executive produced by Martin Scorsese.BitterSweet is an unflinching look at undiagnosed autism, toxic masculinity, and the trials of early parenthood. It opens in select theaters June 11 and hits VOD worldwide July 3.In our conversation, Steven opens up about the emotional and artistic journey behind the film, the challenges of telling such a personal story, and the catharsis of turning pain into art.Let's jump into it.
Ep. 191: This episode includes discussion of infertility and pregnancy loss—please listen with care. Today's episode is a special conversation with Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and professor at USC, about the deeply personal and often invisible experience of reproductive grief. Dr. Molly struggled with infertility herself, facing miscarriage, a TFMR, and ultimately pursuing IVF abroad. Having made it through to the other side, she shares what these experiences taught her—about grief, resilience, and what it means to be truly supported. Anyone navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or supporting someone through it will get a lot from this conversation. ____________________ Leave Me a Message - click here!

How do you flirt in a foreign language? What if you barely speak the language in question? Is it easier to flirt with a foreigner than with someone from your own culture? What happens when cultural miscommunication crops up? And how do you manage to be witty and charming in a foreign language? On this episode from our archives, we delve into Tiffany's (many) experiences dating and flirting with foreign men, her bad dates, misadventures, and embarrassments. She shares why she finds foreign accents so irresistible, and how dating a local in a foreign country can make you get to know that country in a whole new way. Katy recounts her one-off date with a local guy in Vietnam, and shares the over-the-top romantic gestures from boyfriends past that made her run for the hills. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years! In order to help newer listeners discover some of our earlier episodes, every Friday we are now airing an episode from our vast archives! Enjoy!*** ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, this October 2025!

Tiffany does not get Italian beach culture. In this candid (and a bit heated) mini-episode, she wonders: what's the appeal of overcrowded beaches, endless rows of umbrellas and chaise longues as far as they eye can see, baking, inescapable heat, and dirty warm water that most people don't even swim in? Why are Italians so obsessed with spending every free moment of summer here? Tiffany doesn't have an answer. But maybe you do: write in to tell us your theory. And don't miss your chance to visit Rome with us, on our intimate Rome listener trip, coming up in October 2025.

Expat Amy has lived abroad since college. First in Italy, then in Nicaragua, then back to Italy. In this interview from our archives, we sat down with her (over a decade ago!) to chat about her indecisiveness on whether to return to the US or not. All year she had been planning to return to move back and yet she never leaves. That got us wondering, do long-term expats lose their sense of truly belonging anywhere? ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Americans show their patriotism on the 4th of July—Italians do it on the 2nd of June. But in very different ways! On this mini-episode, Tiffany talks about the history of the Italian Repulic (it's several centuries younger than the American republic, believe it or not!!), how it came about, and how Italians celebrate this important national holiday. ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.

As you know if you're a regular listener, our show goes a lot deeper than travel tips an "best of"s. Our weekly conversations explore many aspects of life (both abroad and at home), and we encourage our listeners to live more daring and authentic lives. But we've had so many requests for an episode about our favorite restaurants, wine bars, and gelato shops, that we finally gave in! Whether you're preparing for a trip to Rome, or just traveling via your earphones, join us for a casual chat on this episode from our archives, al about our favorite places to eat and drink in Rome—and why we love them. ***NOTE: In this spontaneous conversation, Tiffany mistakenly referred to one of her favorite Trastevere restaurants, Meridionale, as Mediterraneo. *facepalm* Check out the delicious southern Italian cuisine at Meridionale on Via dei Fienaroli, 30a. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years! In order to help newer listeners discover some of our earlier episodes, every Friday we are now airing an episode from our vast archives! Enjoy!*** ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful.

Two years ago, we all put in $87.50 to buy a Mystery Amazon Pallet. Lunchbox had all that time to sell the items and he was supposed to finally bring our money in today. Does he follow through or is there more drama? We talked to our friend Brent Michael who is the person that recommended Eddie to be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. He tells us why he chose Eddie and an update on what to expect next for Eddie to get on TV. We all shared life updates that include Bobby winning big over the weekend, Morgan has some bittersweet news, and Eddie finally got something very important he'd been waiting to receive.
