In this episode, we tackle Heir of Fire Chapters 50–56, the emotional and narrative crucible of the novel. Where power is consumed, identity is stripped bare, and Aelin Galathynius finally rises from the ashes of who she was forced to become. Mistward stands alone when Wendlyn is unable to send reinforcements, leaving Celaena and Rowan scrambling to fortify the fortress. But their plans crumble when traitors open the way for Norrak's army. Under the cover of darkness, the Valg princes strike from the front while mortal soldiers access the tunnel beneath the walls, plunging Mistward into chaos. Celaena faces the Valg princes alone as Rowan and the Cadre battle inside the fortress. Overpowered and dragged into her own memories, Celaena is forced to relive the two horrific days she's buried for years. But by finally confronting her past, she unleashes the full fire of her heritage, claiming her name, Aelin Galathynius, and obliterating the Valg in a blaze that changes the war forever. At the heart of the episode is the book's most powerful revelation: Aelin does not need to be saved. By confronting her past self — the unscarred girl she left behind — she claims her name, her power, and her worth. What rises from the fire is not Celaena Sardothien atoning through destruction, but Aelin Galathynius wielding light instead of self-loathing. We also break down Rowan and Aelin's carranam bond, the symbolism of blood shared over old wounds, and why this claiming is about friendship, not romance — a turning point that reframes strength as something shared, not endured alone. Finally, we close in Rifthold, where Dorian's growing magic and quiet resolve force Chaol (and the reader) to reconsider what a king truly looks like. Central Question: What changes when a character stops believing they deserve punishment and chooses instead to live?

In this special flash-analysis episode, we turn our attention to Brimstone, breaking the story down through focused literary discussion rather than a full chapter-by-chapter deep dive. We examine the novel's central character arcs, with particular attention to Kingfisher, Saeris, and Carrion— how power, control, and vulnerability shape their choices and relationships. We unpack what each character believes they're doing versus what the narrative is actually revealing beneath the surface, and how those internal contradictions fuel tension throughout the book. From there, we analyze the key plot devices at work: narrative withholding, moral ambiguity, and the deliberate use of uncertainty to keep readers off-balance. Finally, we step into theory territory, exploring unresolved questions, foreshadowing, and what Brimstone may be setting up for future installments. This episode is designed for readers who want to move past vibes and into structure—understanding not just what happens in Brimstone, but why it works.

What if movement could help you embody the confidence, presence, and power of your favorite fantasy heroine? In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we're joined by WeaponUp, a movement practice that blends sword work, martial arts, and mindful discipline into a truly bookish, main-character experience. Founded by Sabina after years of training with Shaolin monks in China and studying yoga in India, WeaponUp is rooted in resilience, embodiment, and the kind of quiet strength we love in fantasy FMCs. We explore how WeaponUp taps into Romantasy and Romantay energy, why so many booktok readers and book girlies are craving ways to physically channel the confidence they feel while reading fantasy, and how movement can shift mindset just as powerfully as a great story. Sabina shares how the practice stays safe and accessible for beginners while still feeling bold, expressive, and badass. We also talk fantasy-inspired flows, favorite tropes to embody, swords as tools for focus rather than aggression, and which fictional heroines would absolutely thrive in WeaponUp training. Whether you're deeply bookish, fantasy-obsessed, or just looking for a new way to feel connected to your body, this episode bridges the gap between the page and real life. Perfect for fans of fantasy, romantasy, BookTok, and anyone chasing that main character energy.

In this near-final episode of 2025, the three co-hosts of Talk Eastern Europe reflect on the key political, social and geopolitical developments that shaped the region over the past year. They discuss waves of protest across several countries, the resilience of civil society, and the evolving security environment and geopolitical shifts since the start of 2025, including the impact of the new US presidency. The conversation also looks ahead to 2026 and considers what listeners should be watching in the year to come.The opening part concludes with a reflection on the success of Talk Eastern Europe in 2025, as the co-hosts share their favourite episodes and recommend past conversations worth revisiting.In the second part of the episode, Nina speaks with Owen Hatherley, a British writer, journalist and cultural critic known for his work on architecture, urbanism and politics, particularly modernism and communism.

Some books feel like a warm light in a room you didn't realize you'd been sitting in the dark. The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations That Create Secure, Lasting Love is one of those books—because it names the thing so many of us do to keep the peace: we swallow the truth, we smooth the edges, we “handle it,” we don't rock the boat… and then we wake up one day with a body full of resentment and a life that doesn't feel like ours. In this Book Talk episode of A Fresh Story, Olivia sits down with Colette Jane Fehr—licensed psychotherapist, couples therapist, relationship expert, and first-time author—to talk about the heartbreak behind silence, and the brave, almost holy work of finding your voice again.Colette doesn't write from a pedestal. She writes from the trenches. She takes us back to the origin story: a childhood shaped by destructive conflict, a first marriage shaped by conflict avoidance, and a painful realization that “keeping things calm” can sometimes mean abandoning yourself one quiet moment at a time. In the episode, Colette opens up about the way women—especially the oldest daughters, the people-pleasers, the ones trained to be “good”—learn to disappear inside relationships. And she connects that lived truth to her years in the therapy room: the pattern is everywhere. Avoiding the problem becomes the problem. The book's message lands like a permission slip: you can be kind and still be clear. You can be regulated and still be honest. You can love someone and still refuse to lose yourself.What makes this conversation hit so deeply is that it's not just about romantic relationships—it's about every relationship where silence has been mistaken for safety: parenting, friendships, family systems, even caring for aging parents. Colette's concept of self-connected communication isn't about winning fights; it's about returning to yourself so you can speak from your real feelings and needs, without blame or performance. If you're starting over after divorce, scared to trust your own voice again, or simply tired of living in “fine,” this episode offers a path back to emotional intimacy—first with yourself, and then with the people who are meant to meet you there.

This Thursday, we open the floodgates on Heir of Fire Ch. 43–49, pulling together listener theories, spicy interpretations, and the narrative breadcrumbs Sarah J. Maas scatters across one of the most technically ambitious sections of the book. Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks.

Mengikuti diskusi buku Can I Talk To You? bersama Kania Annisa menjadi sebuah pengalaman batin yang tak saya duga akan begitu mengguncang. Saya datang sebagai peserta diskusi, tetapi pulang sebagai seseorang yang disentuh di ruang terdalam hatinya. Ada banyak momen hening yang terasa ramai—ramai oleh emosi, ingatan, dan keberanian untuk jujur pada diri sendiri.Salah satu momen yang paling mengharukan adalah pelukan hangat yang terjadi di ruang diskusi itu. Pelukan sederhana, namun sarat makna. Saat itu, air mata saya hampir tumpah. Saya berusaha menahannya, tertawa kecil untuk menyamarkan getar di dada, tetapi tubuh saya tahu: ada luka lama yang tersentuh dengan lembut. Pelukan itu menjadi #trigger yang membuka kembali sebuah kenangan penting dalam hidup saya—sebuah malam panjang bersama ayah. Kenangan itu membawa saya ke ruang tamu rumah kami, dalam suasana hening, ketika saya dan ayah duduk berhadapan dari pukul 11 malam hingga menjelang subuh. Tidak ada suara selain kejujuran. Tidak ada ego selain keinginan untuk berdamai. Malam itu, kami belajar memaafkan, mengakui kekurangan masing-masing, dan menerima bahwa cinta tidak selalu hadir dalam bentuk yang sempurna. Prosesnya sangat sulit, tetapi kelegaan yang muncul setelahnya terasa seperti napas pertama setelah lama tenggelam. Ada ketakutan yang akhirnya bisa dilepaskan.Diskusi buku ini mengingatkan saya bahwa didengarkan adalah kebutuhan paling dasar manusia. Bukan untuk diperbaiki, bukan untuk dihakimi, tetapi untuk diterima. Saya belajar bahwa dialog dari hati ke hati—baik antara orang tua dan anak, maupun antara diri kita yang dewasa dengan luka masa lalu—adalah bentuk keberanian yang paling sunyi sekaligus paling kuat.Saya pulang dari acara ini dengan hati yang lebih lunak. Lebih berani untuk menangis. Lebih jujur untuk mengakui bahwa berdamai adalah proses seumur hidup. Dan yang terpenting, saya diingatkan bahwa pelukan, percakapan, dan kehadiran penuh bisa menjadi jembatan menuju penyembuhan yang selama ini kita cari.Youtube: https://youtu.be/_ML2K4dOMsM?si=Pi48ZKYrHRjw6Xa3Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PLzhPyxIDhhAFzqYuzjsdAn intimate BOOK TALK dedicated to nurturing the heart of your home: FAMILY and PARENTING.

In this Book Talk episode of A Fresh Story, Olivia sits down with journalist and author Ej Dixon to ask a deceptively simple question: is there really such a thing as a “bad mother,” or have we built her, brick by brick, out of fear, patriarchy, and pop culture? From Brooklyn to the pages of New York Magazine's The Cut, Ej brings both sharp humor and deep curiosity to a role women are told they're born to play—and constantly told they're getting wrong.Ej's forthcoming book, One Bad Mother: In Praise of Psycho Housewives, Stage Parents, Momfluencers, and Other Women We Love to Hate, digs into the figure of the “bad mom” through history and pop culture. She traces how the idea of a “good mother” is actually a relatively recent invention—emerging alongside the Industrial Revolution, the rise of the parenting advice industry, and shifting cultural norms about childhood. Together, Olivia and Ej talk about everyone from Joan Crawford to MILFs, Dance Moms to trad wives, Kris Jenner to the polished, soft-lit momfluencers of Instagram. The result is a conversation that's part cultural history, part media study, and part group therapy for anyone who has ever felt crushed under the weight of “good mom” expectations.What emerges is not a parenting manual, but a fierce, funny, and deeply feminist critique of the stories we've been handed about motherhood. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why the bar for mothers keeps rising while structural support disappears, why women who dare to deviate are so quickly labeled “selfish,” “unfit,” or “bad.” If you're navigating motherhood, thinking about becoming a parent, questioning cultural norms, or starting over in your own life, this conversation offers language, context, and relief. One Bad Mother was written to take some of that pressure off—to remind women that the “bad mother” might be less a monster and more a mirror, reflecting back the impossible standards we were never meant to carry alone.

Chapter Summary: Rowan nurses Celaena back from burnout, and their renewed training reveals the true reach of her fire magic. As they investigate a string of murders, Celaena realizes the creatures stalking Wendlyn are tied to the darkness beneath Adarlan's library. Their hunt uncovers Norrak, a mortal army, and three terrifying, tainted beings serving a hidden master. In the Ferian Gap, Manon Blackbeak faces the Blackbeak Matron's fury over Abraxos's failures. Under the scrutiny of all three Ironteeth clans, Manon and Abraxos finally conquer the Crossing. Back in Rifthold, Chaol, Dorian, and Aedion learn of the mass slaughter at Calaculla and Endovier. Each struggles with grief and rage, and Dorian begs Sorscha to flee Adarlan for her safety, only to find he's too attached to let her go.

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 36–42 with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapter Summary When Chaol and Aedion seek information from soldiers who once guarded the mysterious fortresses that activated the night magic vanished, Chaol turns to Dorian for support—only to be confronted with brutal honesty. Dorian calls him out for abandoning his friends when they needed him most, and Aedion delivers a similar blow, accusing Chaol of clinging to neutrality like a child too afraid to choose a side. High in the Ferian Gap, Manon and the Thirteen train relentlessly with their wyverns, but Abraxos's fragile wings cannot withstand the Crossing. Determined to save her mount, Manon seeks spider silk from the deadly Stygian spiders, but even reinforced, Abraxos hesitates at the edge of the chasm, and when Iskra lashes him to spark a fight, Manon's fury reveals just how fiercely she has come to care for her wyvern. In Wendlyn, Celaena and Rowan grow closer as their walls finally begin to crack. But during the Beltane celebrations, when Celaena reaches the edge of magical and emotional burnout, the truth she's held onto erupts. Rowan is confronted with a devastating revelation—Maeve lied to him about Aelin, and his own cruelty toward Celaena has only deepened her wounds. In the ashes of this truth, Rowan must reckon with who he has been…  and who he must become to stand beside the rightful Queen of Terrasen.

Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday.Chapters covered: 32–35 Episode Summary Manon and Abraxos plunge toward certain death until the unthinkable happens. With wings unfurled, Abraxos takes flight for the first time, carrying Manon into the skies and sealing their bond. Across the sea in Wendlyn, Celaena's fragile connection with Rowan begins to fracture when Gavriel's arrival rekindles Rowan's old loyalties. Insecure, Celaena's outburst spirals into another wave of despair that leaves her isolated within Mistward. But even Rowan isn't immune to rebuke, when Emrys confronts him for his cruelty, Rowan seeks redemption the only way he knows: through rigorous training. During a training exercise gone wrong, a monstrous creature rises from the depths, forcing Celaena to unleash her fury, not at the beast, but at Rowan himself. In the aftermath, both are stripped bare, sharing their deepest griefs and choosing, at last, to face the pain together. This week's guiding question: In what ways are Celaena and Rowan developing in this series of chapters — and does this moment mark the beginning of true evolution, or just a temporary truce between two broken people?

You caught everything: the clues in Aelin's Fae memories, Rowan's changing behavior, and the deeper meaning behind the Terrasen stag. Listeners weigh in on Chaol and Aedion's uneasy alliance, Dorian and Sorscha's dangerous chemistry, and why secrets, disguises, and self-deception run through every storyline right now. And of course, the Manon and Abraxos bond that has the whole fandom feral.

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) to your favorite books. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis Thursday = Listener Thoughts and breadcrumbs Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these first three books (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 26–31 Episode summary Across Wendlyn, Aelin Galathynius finally starts mastering her Fae form—sharpened senses, hard-won control, and a flicker of joy she didn't think she deserved. While Rowan Whitethorn pushes her training into something almost playful, their investigation into brutal village killings drags Aelin back into the question she keeps dodging: is she truly becoming herself, or just learning a new disguise to survive? In Rifthold, Chaol Westfall and Aedion Ashryver search Celaena's hidden apartment, a shrine to the girl she was and the queen she tried to bury. The discovery deepens their uneasy alliance with Ren Allsbrook and Murtaugh, but that partnership is tested fast when the King of Adarlan's secret guard hunts them through the slums. As they dodge black-clad predators and face the cost of rebellion, Chaol's “protector” instincts collide with reality, forcing him to decide whether he's growing or just repeating the same patterns in a new key. Meanwhile, Dorian Havilliard and Sorscha work to suppress his volatile magic. One small act of control sparks a kiss that could destroy them both. And high in the Ferian Gap, Manon Blackbeak tries to forge Abraxos into the weapon her world demands: iron spikes, iron teeth, iron will. But Abraxos refuses the script. His gentleness, fear, and stubborn survival force Manon to confront a terrifying possibility: maybe strength isn't dominance. Maybe it's partnership. Her desperate attempt to make him fly ends in a brutal fall that changes both of them, marking the first real crack in the empire that built her. This week's question Are Aelin, Chaol, and Dorian actually growing in Heir of Fire—or are they repeating old patterns under new disguises, and calling it progress?

Democracy faces challenges worldwide, and artificial intelligence has become an increasing part of that. In their book Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship, cybersecurity technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan E. Sanders methodically unpack the ways AI is changing every aspect of democracy, while making the case that we can harness the technology to support and strengthen these systems. Neither fear-mongering nor utopian, Rewiring Democracy aims to present a clear-eyed and optimistic path for putting democratic principles at the heart of AI development — highlighting how citizens, public servants, and elected officials can use AI to expand access to justice and inform, empower, and engage the public.On October 23, the authors discussed their book with Data & Society's Director of Research Alice Marwick, walking us through their roadmap for understanding how AI is changing power and participation and what we can do to shape that change for the better.

In this episode, I'm sharing the full talk I gave at the launch party for Slow Style Home—the one moment from that night we didn't manage to record. I walk through the long, winding path that led me here, why the cultural noise around “dream homes” pushed me to write this book, and how serendipity, inspiration, and experimentation became the backbone of the Slow Style approach. I also take you behind the scenes of the event itself—yes, including the Little Yellow Couch, the Aperol spritz, and all the small details that tell a bigger story about creating a home that reflects who you are. If you've ever wondered what Slow Style really looks like in practice, this talk is the closest thing to standing in the room with me. Want to finally define your style?

Listen in as we discuss Zeyad's book on the science question in Africa.

In today's episode of Book Talk, I get to introduce you to my friend Emily Conrad who writes wonderful contemporary romance filled with depth, faith, and small town. In Risking His Heart, she's woven together tropes like best friends to love with a small town setting. But Emily's also wrestling with the very real life issue of what happens when one door gets shut. With this book she found that she had the plot, but not the emotional content, which is very different from what usually happens, and forced her to dig really deep in the edits. I can tell you from the Emily Conrad books I've read, her characters wrestle with real life issues while finding love.I loved hearing how Emily knew she was a writer — she wrote poetry before she knew her letters. That's some serious early talent! But it also shows an early inclination for words — something that many of the authors I chat with talk about — but not all! She'd also tell others that it's okay if the process takes a long time. Things are still happening in the background.Connect with Emily ConradFacebook | Instagram | XWant to watch this interview?

This Thursday, we dive into listener theories and full-series foreshadowing for Heir of Fire Ch. 21–25, where Aelin's wildfire erupts, Manon chooses Abraxos in the pit, and Dorian overhears the secret that shatters everything. Jac and Amy read through your thoughts on Aelin's near-death escape from the skinwalkers, Rowan's “you'd be more useful dead” comment, and the messy emotional undercurrent of their first real moment of trust. We dig into theories about what wildfire actually signals in SJM's magic system, the deeper significance of Rowan calling her Aelin, and whether the skinwalkers connect to later Wyrd-soldier lore. We also unpack your takes on Manon and Abraxos, their instant, furious, reluctant bond, and how this moment rewrites Manon's understanding of power, ownership, and partnership. And of course, we get into the catacombs scene: Chaol's confession, Aedion's hunger for the blood oath, and Dorian's icy heartbreak when he realizes everyone has been keeping Aelin's identity from him. Full spoilers through the end of Heir of Fire and light references to later Throne of Glass books. Send your theories for next week's chapters at booktalkforbooktok.com, and you may be featured in the next Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks.

Episode 91 Friends, this is a catch up with Greta episode! There is a lot going on in life and a lot I wanted to tell you about so… here we are. And since I recorded this podcast, a couple of things have, and haven't, happened so I'll update you on the updates. Insert laughing/crying emoji face here.  First, the link to my digital seminar is still not live because I am having issues with my website. I do so wish I could speak with a human instead of trying to solve problems with the “live chat”. Anyway, all I can say at this point is, please, please, check my Instagram account and my blog for updates and links because hopefully they'll be there in the next couple of days. I'll put the links to both those things at the end of these show notes.  Now something that is up is my food and travel book post on Substack. Do you follow me over there? I am trying so hard to get more writing up there. It is fun to write about whatever I want! I think you'll love it there too. Link at end of these notes.   And oh the excitement my Instagram fam had over my post about the book Everything Sad is Untrue! It was so fun to hear from so many people who loved it and so many people who were going to read it for the first time! And yes, I am going to do a zoom Book Talk with you all about that book soon. All the deets will be on Insta and I'll share on my blog too. So you'll have to check those spaces for the link when it's ready to go!  Lastly, there is my 2026 Women's Walking Retreat in the Cotswolds!  Oh my goodness, I am over the moon excited about this!! We have our full itinerary up and pricing will be up soon. Link for this information is, you guessed it, at the end of these notes!  You know I always deeply appreciate you leaving reviews of my book and this podcast. Reviews really are key to getting my stuff shown to more people, and also to people deciding to purchase my book or listen to my show. People want to know if something is worthwhile. Will you please tell them it is!? You can leave book reviews on Amazon and podcast reviews on iTunes.   Thank you, friends, for all the ways you support me and my work out in the world. Now here are the links for all the things!  Links and things: Find my blog and website here Find me on Insta here Find out about our Women's Walking Retreat here The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 21–25 with context from earlier Throne of Glass books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 21–25 Episode summary Celaena finally shifts into her fae form, but Rowan's dominance doesn't sit well with her, and she leaves Mistward when he pushes her too far. Though she initially is grateful to have left, she finds herself hunted by skinwalkers and without proper weapons. Rowan swoops in to save her, but it's when Celaena unleashes her wildfire that they finally gain the upper hand.  It's the day Manon has been waiting for, but before she can claim Titus as her mount, she must face off with him in the pit. When she realizes that Titus only sees her as prey and realizes the bait beast wants to take Titus out with her, Manon joins forces with the bait beast to kill Titus, and she claims Abraxos as her own.  Chaol brings Aedion up to speed about the source of the King of Adarlan's dark power, unaware that Dorian overhears – and feels the sting of betrayal. Meanwhile, Rowan takes Celaena on a field trip to investigate murders in nearby villages, and they burn the body of the latest victim before returning home. This week's question Why are none of the characters honest with themselves or with each other—and what does that selective honesty reveal about power, ownership, and survival in Heir of Fire?

Our Thursday episode is where analysis turns to speculation. In this week's Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks, Jac and Amy read listener thoughts and spiral (responsibly) through Heir of Fire theories, foreshadowing, and SJM's long-game craft. We unpack the moment Rowan's bite forces Aelin's shift, asking what it reveals about mating bonds, fae dominance, and the anatomy of power. We track how SJM mirrors predator imagery between Rowan, Aedion, and Manon, and how that mirroring hints at future alliances. Listener theories dive into: Whether the barrows creature connects to Erawan's shadow army The bite as a precursor to the blood oath Aedion's loyalty vs Chaol's betrayal, and what each says about class and honor How Manon's first flight parallels Aelin's awakening Why the Sword of Orynth might carry more than ancestral weight Full spoilers through the end of Heir of Fire, and light talk of later Throne of Glass books.

We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Season format & spoiler policy: Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 14–20 with context from earlier books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 14–20 Episode summary: Celaena walks into the barrows thinking she can muscle through Rowan's latest torment—but the darkness waiting inside rips her open and drags her back into her most catastrophic memories. Rowan pushes, taunts, pins…and she finally breaks toward the thing she's fought hardest against: revelation. The bite → the roar → the shift. Aelin Galathynius finally emerges. In Rifthold, Chaol bargains, barters, and falls into rebel jaws, revealing Aelin's truth to survive his father's power and Aedion's blade. Dorian's magic ruptures in front of Sorscha, binding them together in a dangerous secret neither of them can afford. And in the mountains, Manon and the Thirteen take flight on wyverns for the first time, finding the piece of themselves that has been missing since the slaughter ten years ago. This week's guiding question: Have we already crossed the inciting incident line in HOF, or is the inciting incident the moment Aelin stops choosing death and finally chooses power?

This week, Scheana sits down with RHONY star, entrepreneur, and author Erin Lichy for a raw and relatable conversation about love, accountability, and why sometimes the messiest chapters make the best stories. Fresh off the success of her book She's a Host: An Unbuttoned Cookbook for Elegant Entertaining, Erin shares what inspired her passion for hosting — and why she might think twice before writing another one. She also opens up about when cameras could start rolling again for the new season of RHONY, the tension between the OG and reboot casts (and which former Housewife she'd actually welcome back), and why her former costar Brynn blocked her on social media. Scheana and Erin dive deep into marriage, infidelity, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal — with Scheana sharing her own experience navigating Brock's affair. The two swap stories about NYC nightlife, motherhood, and how Erin's mezcal brand, Mezcalum, is shaking things up. Tune in!
