I'm Lynn Louise—and this episode is a raw and powerful invitation to stop pretending everything's fine… and start creating true freedom, peace, and purpose from the inside out.We're in a 16 Universal Month—July is ruled by Tower energy in numerology and tarot.

We're joined by Sam Ashworth (The Death and Life of August Sweeney) to talk about the ultimate ending: death. Our book this week is Julian Barnes' 2008 memoir about death and dying, Nothing to Be Frightened Of. We discuss ruminative books, and whether all narratives need to have an arc.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Endings matter as much as beginnings in coaching relationships. Yet how many of us have let client relationships simply fade away without proper closure? In this deeply personal conversation, Tracy and Debra explore how thoughtfully designed "exit sessions" can transform the conclusion of coaching relationships from awkward goodbyes into powerful graduations that honor client growth.Tracy shares her proven "Five R's" framework—Reflection, Recognition, Resources, Road Ahead, and Relationship—which provides a structured approach to celebrating progress, acknowledging challenges overcome, and equipping clients for continued success. Through heartfelt examples, the hosts reveal why these sessions often trigger emotional responses from both clients and coaches alike. As Tracy explains, "I have absolutely gotten emotional during exit sessions... not because I'm sad it's ending, but because I am truly proud of what my client has accomplished."Beyond the emotional benefits, the hosts discuss the practical advantages of offering exit sessions as complimentary services that demonstrate a commitment to client transformation rather than ongoing dependency. This approach reinforces the coaching philosophy of empowering clients to become their own best advocates while simultaneously creating powerful referral sources.Whether you're a seasoned divorce coach or just beginning your practice, this episode offers actionable strategies for implementing meaningful closure in your client relationships. Start small with reflective questions or adopt the complete framework—either way, your clients will remember how you made them feel in that final conversation. Ready to transform your practice with intentional endings? Listen now and discover how to help your clients truly "graduate" from coaching with dignity, confidence, and the tools they need for their journey ahead.

The final blast from "Realm" Jack and David find "The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox". Morgan Knox can see the Darkness coming...but that may not be enough to stop it from destroying the world. In 1930's Manhattan, a Latina private detective is posthumously hired by a man hoping to solve his own murder. Morgan Knox is just the right investigator for the job: ever since her experience in World War I left her with the ability to see paranormal phenomena, she's had one foot in the shadows and another in the real world. As the case leads her through the city, Knox battles more forces beyond human sight: corruption, greed, and temptation have taken Manhattan by storm, and if she isn't careful, she could be the Darkness' next victim. The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox is a Realm production written by K Arsenault Rivera, Brooke Bolander, Gabino Iglesias, and Sunny Moraine.

No guest this week, as we wanted to do an episode with just the two of us, here at the mid-point of our final season. For our reading, we dive into A Clockwork Orange, which Mike had somehow never read. Meanwhile, not only had Tom read it, he wrote a paper about its ending, back in his undergrad days, which by some miracle (or anal-retentiveness?) he still has a copy of.  Also this week: one final installment of Fan Fiction Corner. How has AI affected the fanfic community? Should politics be part of fanfiction? And can a time-traveling Toby Maguire prevent the Kennedy assassination? Thanks, as always, for listening. We've got a few more guest episodes this season, then a final episode that'll just be the two of us.

Your noonas have rewritten an ending or two, but that's not what today is about. For this episode, we get to the heart of the matter and talk about what actually makes a good (or not so good) ending. We discuss what happens when a good drama has a bad ending, whether or not a good ending can save a bad drama, and of course, the best and worst (in our opinion) endings in our K-drama experience.

How does your protagonist's final choice resolve the plot, character arc and theme? In this episode, Stu and Chas focus solely on the final choices made by protagonists and how that reflects their character journey and successfully, or not, dramatises the internal. We compare and contrast different uses of narrative POV in respect to these final choices, in particular whether and when the audience is made aware of the options available to the character, the act of making the choice, and the consequences of the choice.

Hello again, my dear.I was hoping you'd come back.We've saved you a seat—right by the fire… or is it a furnace?Tonight, I've brought you four tales. Strange ones. Sad ones. A little dangerous, even.But you like that, don't you?

Life is a continuous cycle of endings and beginnings. Closing one chapter and opening another is as natural as breathing, and yet, we often resist the process of change. Even when an ending is welcome, it's easier to hold on to the familiar, rather than let go into the unknown. Ritual can assist us in the process of moving from one phase to another. By honoring the past, celebrating the experience, letting go, and making space, we can courageously step into a new beginning with more clarity, trust, and love.What am I reading?The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Edie Woodshttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780008713225A Well-Trained Wife by Tia Levingshttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250288288https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Time of Your Life by GreendayWhat's for dinner? Blueberry Balsamic Grilled CheeseIngredients:2 slices of sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)1 to 1 1/2 cups of cheese (Havarti, mozzarella, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or sharp white cheddar are great options)Fresh spinach or arugula1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugarFresh ground black pepper (to taste)Instructions:In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar.

We're joined one last time by fan favorite Katherine Hill (A Short Move) to talk about Nora Ephron's 1983 novel Heartburn, a thinly veiled account of the author's divorce from Carl Bernstein. Specifically: Why does it seem like everyone is reading this book right now? And is it somehow the godmother of the recent spate of Millenial divorce books? Also discussed: humor as a coping mechanism, voice-driven novels, recipes in fiction, and why are people on Goodreads mad at Nora Ephron?

Morning Mantra: "New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings."People have different wants, needs, and opinions. If you try to please everyone, you're going to run into a problem. It's impossible to do it honestly.You have to decide what your own wants, needs, and beliefs are. Act kindly and with consideration, but if people disagree with your choices, that doesn't mean you  immediately change your choices.  Maybe change the dynamics of your relationship.They may be angry or disappointed, and they may even decide to leave your life entirely. But if that happens, it means they were no longer aligned with who you are. You both should be free to be alone or seek out others who you are more aligned with rather than trying to change each other to suit the relationship.Not all endings are wrong. Some are even overdue.#BeOKWithEndings #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes #Inspire #Quotes #FeelGoodQuotes

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Reflections on Impermanence & Cessation

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is one of the best films of 2025. In this episode, Alex Heeney zooms in on its beginning and ending scenes to show how they set up and pay off the film's emotional arc. From the start, you know you're in a warm, fun place (with a touch of sadness); by the end, you land on a romantic high the film truly earns.  Alex unpacks how choices from structure to song lyrics to blocking work together to deliver that strong emotional payoff.

A season of endings, but also beginnings: our first Barbara Pym! The celebrated British novelist had a bit of a career slump; after publishing six novels between 1950 and 1961, she couldn't find a home for her seventh, and didn't publish anything for more than a decade. Then, in 1977, Quartet in Autumn appeared, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. A true comeback victory. We chose this book because it deals with a different kind of ending: retirement. Four aging office workers are on their way out, and each is sad in their own way. The book's kind of a bummer, but also funny? Like a certain podcast you all know and love. We're joined by frequest guest Dave Housley, author of several sad/funny novels, including one about an office.  If you're a fan of the show, and want more of it in your life, we're still posting new episodes every two weeks to our Patreon. Five bucks a month also gets you access to a pretty deep back catalog, including our Hunt for the Worst Book of All Time: https://www.patreon.com/c/BookFight

Note - the movie review segment of this episodes originally ared in KF Show #295. Bernie just INSISTS on mailing it in! We finally let him. -Rob and CD  We saw it! Ryan Gosling plays the Fall Guy in the big screen movie. Any of our fears about this ruining a beloved TV tale about stunts and jump trucks were wrong! The movie is great and while it might be a one and done it could certainly feature sequels too! Gosling plays the Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man that ends up having to solve a mystery, while jumping trucks and doing stunts. Sound familiar? Colt ends up being nearly killed during the opening movie-within-a-movie stunt (that Gosling really did) due to sabotage by the jealous star that he's doubling. It breaks his confidence and takes him away from the career (and woman) that he loves. But, when Jody the camera girl becomes Jody the director of the biggest baddest stunt movie ever to be made….he comes out of retirement to get it done. And save the relationship. And solve the mystery of the leading man that was dead…..or was he? In it are thrown in intentional meta references, sound effects and songs that will make your hears sing, aliens that make you laugh, all leading to the good guy winning in the end with the help of the girl….and a brown and gold GMC truck. Get to the theater NOW to see it on the real big screen. You'll probably need to go twice.  KF Rating: Double birds to the bad guys and 10 Fall Guy Trucks!

In this heart-opening episode, Tonya is joined by Jesse Israel, founder of The Big Quiet and leadership coach, for a deep dive into emotional mastery, somatic healing, and redefining success from the inside out. Jesse shares his journey from music industry burnout to guiding mass meditations with Oprah—and the powerful lessons he's learned about navigating endings, identity shifts, and trusting what's unfolding. Together, they explore the new wave of wellness that goes beyond mindfulness, the somatic practices that release stuck emotions, and why vulnerability and authenticity are the new markers of true leadership. This is an invitation to soften, unlearn, and expand into the next version of you.Topics Covered:Jesse's journey from MGMT's record label to mass meditations & Oprah toursHow somatic healing and emotional release deepened his leadershipThe shift from "Wellness 1.0" (mindfulness) to "Wellness 2.0" (deep emotional work)The identity grief that comes with ending a successful chapterPractices for managing anger, anxiety, and triggers in real-timeTech boundaries and phone habits that protect creativity & presenceWhy vulnerability (from the scar, not the wound) builds authentic connectionGuest Info:Instagram: instagram.com/jesseisraelLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jesseisrael/Website: jesseisrael.comConnect with Tonya:Follow Tonya on Instagram: @tonyapapanikoloveSign up for Tonya's NewsletterRainbo.com@rainbomushroomsResources:The Big QuietOpal AppInstructions to Win a Bundle of Rainbo Products - Leave us Ratings and Reviews: (Or watch the video instructions here) Go to Spotify and search “The Rainbo Podcast” Follow the Show and Rate the Show on Spotify, and take a screenshot Go to Apple Podcasts Search “The Rainbo Podcast” Scroll down past a few episodes until you get to the “Write a Review” section Write your review and screenshot before you hit Submit, as Apple's system can take a while to publish Send the Spotify screenshot and Apple review screenshot to info@rainbo.com Be sure to go back to Apple Podcasts and hit submit on your review We'll pull a winner at the end of the month once we verify that your ratings/review went through to win a bundle of tinctures!

The problem with writing very short stories is that it forces you to write more endings, which are the hardest part! At least that's our opinion. But we bring on writer and Barrelhouse fiction editor Christopher Gonzalez (I'm Not Hungry But I Could Eat, 2021) to school us in how to stick the landing on flash fiction.  Chris chose four very different flash pieces for us to read, all of which are available for free online: -Andy Lopez, "How Filipino of Us" (from Split Lip) -Deesha Philyaw, "Love 1992: A Catechism)" (from Fractured Lit) -Amy Stuber, "Only a Little Bit Less Than I Hate Myself" (from Longleaf Review) -Julian Martinez, "Cartoons" (from HAD) Also in this episode: We review what's going on in shorts (short pants, that is), which includes some conflicting reports in terms of inseam lengths. And do shorts get longer as the government becomes more authoritarian? It's a theory, apparently.

Guess what? We are moving this Friday episode over to the new Financially Free Era podcast! It is the next step to your financial planning journey after your student loan plan has been tackled with us here at Student Loan Planner. We hope this new show will answer your questions of: What else do I need to do? What else can I do to optimize my savings? How can I start saving for that goal that I have?" SLP Wealth was born to be that next step. So naturally, we need to start separating from our initial starting point, which is Student Loan Planner. So we have created a whole new show: Financially Free Era by SLP Wealth.   Follow and Subscribe for free to the new show! Follow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, or Pocket Casts
