In this unique episode, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month and the celebration of our 5th Podversary. One of the most challenging things about being neurodivergent is learning to accept ourselves in a world where being different often marks you as an outsider. Using my obsession with Wicked and exploring four of Stephen Schwartz's iconic songs —from the hopeful longing of "The Wizard and I" to the defiant liberation of "Defying Gravity"—my goal in this episode is to connect them to the distinct stages of our ADHD journey in learning to embrace our differentness. So, grab your broomstick and let's go on an adventure to Oz. Episode Highlights:Did you ever find yourself thinking: “If I just find the right planner /medication/ job/coach, I'll finally feel normal”? That's what I call the “fix me” phase — and it's just the first chapter in a powerful process. In this episode, I walk you through four major songs from “Wicked” that map out the ADHD journey to self-acceptance:“The Wizard and I”: The bittersweet hope that someone or something outside of us will finally fix what feels broken.“Popular”: The pressure to fit into neurotypical molds, no matter how unnatural it feels, and why those “helpful tips” so rarely work.“Defying Gravity”: The exhilarating breakthrough of embracing your true self and rejecting systems that were never built for your brain.“For Good”: Honoring everyone who contributed to your journey, finding peace with imperfection, and stepping into deeper self-acceptance.Whether you're still searching for that magic fix, trying to fit into neurotypical norms, or learning to soar with your own brand of brilliance, this episode is an invitation to recognize the real magic within yourself. Join me as I encourage us all to “keep defying gravity together”—and celebrate just how far we've come, thanks to a little help from our friends in Oz.Inspired by this episode?

We explore the powerful metaphor of "Defying Gravity" from Wicked as an anthem for spiritual awakening and authentic self-expression. This episode reveals how embracing your unique qualities and healing your inner child allows you to transcend limitations and fully step into your power.• Elphaba as a symbol of our shadow self—the parts deemed "too much" or "not enough" by society• The awakening moment when you realize you can't continue living by others' rules• Why trusting your instincts is essential for personal transformation• The temptation to conform and how society tries to keep you "grounded"• Integration of your wounded parts as the key to defying gravity in your life• The Western sky as a symbol of transformation, endings, and rebirth• How owning who you are without seeking permission leads to true freedom• The journey of reclaiming your inner child who just wanted to be seenKeep going on your journey of self-discovery and remember: what society labels as "wicked" may actually be where your greatest power lies.Book Your DG Mindset Experience Retreat Now Join Coaching For Coaches Mentorship

Welcome back, here's what you missed on I Hate James Dobson: Jake was a closeted evangelical kid, which was like really cringe but also bad for them. Then they left the church and found stability but still had a bad horrible fashion sense. Brooke cried as Jake read Defying Gravity because two theater kids are just like that sometimes. And also they talked about the band Skillet (flop). And that's what you missed on I Hate James Dobson.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetterLicense code: 9OT2MTBHWWSRZP5S Hosted on Acast.

Check out our new book "She Prays Like a Girl" at PrayingChristianWomen.com/likeagirl today! We love gleaning prayer lessons from anywhere - including secular movies! This week join us for a really fun discussion about prayer lessons from the song “Defying Gravity” from the Broadway musical-turned-movie “Wicked.” We talk about the transformation of the character Elphaba, who chooses to defy the limitations imposed on her by others, and relate it to the prayer lives of Christian women. We also contrast Glinda and Elphaba, who ultimately take different paths but wish each other well and relate it to the need for Christian women to embrace our differences and support each other rather than tear each other down.

Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder, has been added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list. He's accused of running a drug trafficking network and orchestrating multiple murders. A $10 million reward is being offered for his capture. New evidence is being revealed in the case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students more than two years ago. The evidence includes a series of texts sent between the two surviving roommates who were inside the house at the time of the murders. New Mexico officials are expected to share new details on Friday into the investigation of the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa. The couple's bodies were discovered in their Santa Fe home last month. At least 164 measles cases have been reported across nine states this year, with two unvaccinated patients — a child in Texas and an adult in New Mexico — dying from the virus. Health experts warn that measles can weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of future infections in a condition known as "immune amnesia." CBS News medical contributor Dr. Céline Gounder explains the long-term impact. New data shows layoffs increased last month to the highest level since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Friday's unemployment report revealed employers added 151,000 jobs in February, which is below economists' forecasts. MoneyWatch correspondent Kelly O'Grady reports. Ringo Starr made his Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville last month, performing the country classic "Act Naturally," a song he and The Beatles first covered in the '60s. While best known for rock, Starr has always had a love for country music. In a new concert special airing Monday on CBS, he celebrates the genre at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Anthony Mason sits down with him to discuss the performance. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's powerful duet "Defying Gravity" highlights the stunning visuals of the"Wicked" film, where costume designer Paul Tazewell reimagined Oz through more than 1,000 intricate designs. With a Tony for "Hamilton" and an Emmy for "The Wiz Live!," Tazewell is now closer to EGOT status after making history at the Academy Awards.

Night after night, Cirque du Soleil’s performing arts athletes defy gravity and expectations — executing elite-level feats across 480 shows annually. Maintaining peak performance requires more than talent; it demands strategic preparation, adaptability, and trust. Channeling backgrounds in dance and martial arts, married coaching duo Mike and Jade Esmeralda bring a philosophy of continuous improvement to Cirque’s collectivistic infrastructure. Preparing performers with diverse training experiences, they connect on an artistic level to balance readiness with creative expression. From applying RAMP (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, Potentiate) warm-ups for mitigating injury risk to tactical load carriage insights for LED costumes, the Esmeraldas leverage parallels across high-performance environments. Strategies for Cirque’s “valuable human artistic assets” must enhance durability, manage load, and support longevity in an unpredictable, physically — and psychologically — demanding profession. Jade’s evidence-based journalism also combats social media misinformation. Discover how they adapt daily, build buy-in across cultures, and redefine training for a one-of-a-kind population.

See some of these impressive feats mentioned in this episode performed by Cirque du Soleil athletes on Instagram at @cirquedusoleil and @cirquedusoleilcasting.Show Notes“As far as needs analysis, I always watch the shows, and I time it. Like everything else, like evidence-based practice, it all started with just really learning on what that is. Before it became research. It was all practice-based evidence. Then it became evidence-based practice. So that's kind of what we're doing right now, whether it's, like, energy systems, how long are they hanging on that strap, what positions are they going into, what are the injury points that I'm looking at, and how can I make sure that they become very durable? Mind you, they are performing 10 times a week, two sequence shows per day with an hour break in between, and it all adds up to 480 shows a year.” 9:55 “I think no matter what show it is, it really encourages you to get creative and get experimental with what you're doing because for me, the biggest correlation that I saw was with tactical populations and how they have to wear different types of equipment, whether it's strapped in a harness in the front or the back. And then suddenly, I'm diving into research to learn about different interventions and strategies that can help tactical populations and just seeing a correlation between traditional, tactical, maybe special operations who have to wear certain equipment, and these dancers that may be totally different in terms of the surface, but they might have more similarities than you might think.” 23:27
In this episode, host Dr. Jeanette Benigas is joined by Australian speech pathologist Niall Taylor for a powerful discussion that draws striking parallels between the musical production Wicked and the current state of the speech-language pathology profession. Together, they unpack the themes of control, self-liberation, and the fight against restrictive systems—whether it's ASHA in the U.S. or Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) down under.From the illusion of authority to the struggles of those challenging the status quo, this episode dives deep into what it means to defy gravity in a profession that resists change. Whether you're an Elphaba fighting for reform or a Glinda navigating within the system, this conversation will make you reflect on your role in shaping the future of SLP.Listen in, and don't forget to leave a five-star rating and review to help others find the show!Want to lead or join your state team?

Fifteen years in Wicked—that's a lot of shows, a lot of cities, and a lot of memories. Broadway performer Justin Wirick shares how he's kept the magic alive night after night, from tumbling across the stage to finding joy even in the hardest moments. In this episode, Justin sits down with John Corella to talk about the highs and lows of a life in theater. He opens up about the pressure that comes with longevity, the way gymnastics shaped his movement, and how Wicked continues to inspire audiences after two decades. They also get into the Wicked movie, breaking down what worked, what felt different, and why choreography plays such a huge role in the show's impact. How does a performer stay motivated after more than a decade in the same production? What does it take to keep showing up, even when life throws its hardest challenges? Justin's perspective is raw, thoughtful, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from experience. Quotes “My mom was always positive. She's like, you got to think positively. Always very positive, always looking forward to the next thing. Maybe that's where a lot of my anxiousness comes from, too. She was always planning, always looking forward to the next thing. And I always love having something to look forward to. And this lifestyle of touring is just that.” (36:50 | Justin Wirick) “I just know that—like me being back on stage and back in the show—is what my mom would have wanted. And maybe that's where I feel like I can connect with her the most, even though she's gone.” (40:10 | Justin Wirick) “I feel like I had such a gift, and all that time we got to spend together. But the show, just being around, we're such a close-knit family. And I think, I don't know if without them I would be as okay as I am now. So that helps a lot. The show helps a lot. The family helps a lot. Being around people helps a lot.” (40:39 | Justin Wirick) “I think we've always felt different or ostracized or always felt like we're keeping a secret and having to hold everything in. Just as Elphaba was with her powers and her magic, she was always told to suppress that and don't show that and control that. And then she goes to Shiz University where that skill is celebrated and welcomed. And doesn't that sound like the story of so many LGBTQIA+ friends that we know and have?” (41:52 | Justin Wirick) Links Connect with Justin Wirick: www.instagram.com/justinwirick88 Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is not that girl! This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Amanda Holland (@fruity.productions), award-winning comedy writer and filmmaker (who you may recall from our Frozen SBG) to talk about why the 2024 hit musical film Wicked Should've Been Gay. Now, you're probably thinking, “But wait, Ellie and Leigh, the 2024 hit musical film Wicked is already gay”. After all, the source material, a literal Wizard of Oz fanfiction, is pretty much the gayest book ever. But, while we see the tragic enemies-to-lovers (and they were roommates!) of it all between Elphaba and Galinda on screen clear as day, it technically only exists in subtext (so far). We really don't get how, but there are a wild amount of people that do not see Elphie and Glinda as anything more than “really good friends”. In our opinion the only thing that might be gayer than the Wicked movie is the Wicked movie press tour. Whatever was happening there between Cynthia and Ari, we support it 1000000%. In this episode we go through the entire movie song by song (with a few detours along the way). It was incredibly hard to keep this episode from being as long as the movie itself. In our defense, all three of us are massively passionate about Wicked. Amanda's senior yearbook quote was taken directly from the lyrics of “Defying Gravity”, which we all know is a queer anthem (please hold space for the lyrics of “Defying Gravity”, thank you). Leigh, who insists she never had a “Wicked phase”, just isn't that girl (but maybe she could be “that boy”). And Ellie is ready to call out Galinda's name change for what it really is, “white girl activism”. We know one thing for sure, Wicked Should've Been Gay. Stay tuned on Youtube to @fruitytv where Amanda plans to release 6 episodes of her brand new queer indie television show throughout the year!

Is it strange that Wicked, a film about a marginalized person discovering her magic and rising up to fight against government oppression, has been a box office success under Trump 2.0 – or does the movie's message actually meet the moment? Wicked has been nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Actress in a Leading Role for Cynthia Erivo, who already has Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards under her belt. This week, Kara talks with Erivo about why, as a queer, Black woman, the role of Elphaba was especially meaningful and how she made it her own; what she thinks about the current attack on diversity programs and the LGBTQ+ community; which projects she wants to lend her voice and other talents to going forward; and what becoming the youngest EGOT winner (if she wins the Oscar) would mean to her.

In this episode I invite my friend Elise to discuss their personal journeys, the importance of financial planning, and the current political climate. We reflect on life's transitions, the pursuit of passion projects, and the significance of community and cultural connections. The conversation emphasizes the need for financial security and the impact of political decisions on everyday life, while also highlighting the importance of understanding differing perspectives within society. In this engaging conversation, we explore the significance of human connections, the impact of fashion in politics, reflections on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the whirlwind experience of the TikTok ban, and a deep philosophical inquiry into legacy and leadership. We emphasize the importance of personal growth, the complexities of social media, and the value of serving others over personal ambition. Let me know what other movies make you feel like This is Me from The Greatest Showman or Defying Gravity from Wicked. Let me know if you rather accomplish your life long dream but ruin your legacy or never accomplish your dream, but your legacy is intact?

“People are taking the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity' and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that.” “I didn't know that that was happening. That's really powerful—that's what I wanted.” “I've seen it on a couple posts, I don't know how widespread. But you know, I am in queer media, that's my—you know …” “That's really cool.” This week: all things WICKED. @theamspillpodcast @michaeldfasano @aaron.fuksa

Today, we are holding space for the 2024 film starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Wicked. Chris Derosa (Fixing Famous People) is back on the podcast to talk about what it felt like to sit through Wicked once….twice….possibly three times and be riveted at the return of talent and magic in theaters. We will honor the feelings we had to make room for when Defying Gravity was sung. The press tour and the reactions to the film will be analyzed We will also bring into question why it gets so hard for us to celebrate a film that is being championed by two women who are unafraid to show their true emotions about female friendship and the power behind their latest project.. Mostly, this will be a celebration of this massive film that got us through the end of 2024.Support the Show:Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram! https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

Happy New Year! It's the new musical film everyone is talking about, so we figured we'd talk about it. Wicked: Part I! This 160-minute movie covers the first half of this epic adaptation of the popular musical adaptation Wicked by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is based on the 1995 novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, which comes from the universe of L. Frank Baum's Oz books which were adapted into the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Cynthia Erivo is Elphaba Thropp, who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, but it's gonna take a long time for her to get there. Along the way, she befriends Ariana Grande who plays Galinda Upland and encounters Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible and Jeff Goldblum as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film is directed by Jon M. Chu and also stars Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, and Peter Dinklage. In this movie you'll hear hit songs like "The Wizard and I", "Popular", "Defying Gravity", and so much more. Listen to our thoughts and feelings on this fantastical episode!

An episode full of fun, fandom, and frisson where Kate and her guest, Caroline Moss, discuss their hot takes about Broadway musicals, but pepper in plenty of tangents from Babysitter's Club to The Beets (from Doug) and beyond. The majority of this episode is in honor of this weekend's long-awaited premiere of Wicked, and they talk through some Wicked lore, detail their favorite Elphabas, and walk through brain-scratching clips of different pre-approved riffs Elphie can use for her final “battle cry” in Defying Gravity. They also share their mutual fascination with Wicked, the complexities of Broadway casting and performances, and their favorite Broadway shows and songs. From vocal endurance to the atmosphere and experience of live musicals, they cover it all (including sharing their favorite clips from iconic songs). And don't let the theater kid vibes scare you if you aren't into musicals—this episode is for the theater fanatics and the average theater admirer alike. They've got a few pop culture and nostalgic rabbit holes to go down as well. Don't worry, by the end they sing a duet because they cannot help themselves. Enjoy!Enjoy!
