In today's episode I talk about the reality of how fresh starts, and endings, present in our lives (it's never neat and tidy like in a book or movie!) and how to nurture ourselves through these changes. I offer a "phase in - phase out" ritual to help us cleanse our life of what we no longer want - and bring in the new beginning we are craving. I also go off on a little tangent (again) about how we need to stop doing the toxic bypassing thing about the Death card and allow ourselves to acknowledge endings.

Welcome back, today we're stepping into a space most people rush to escape: the in-between. The space after the ending, but before the beginning. The space of not yet. The space of becoming.

Morning Mantra: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."Moving on, starting something new, leveling up, all require the end of how things are now. There is so much opportunity in the ending, but most people focus on the new start.All endings are a chance to rest, to breathe, and to reflect on the conclusion of that part of your journey in preparation for the new one.Take time to process the feelings, and the lessons you gain from the ending. Take the best with you. Leave the rest behind.Not every ending will be happy, but every ending offers a reason to be grateful. #BeWillingToFocusOnTheEnding #BeHappy #BeHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippie #HorsehippieBoutique

Trusting God Unlocks Great Endings by Word Mission Church International
Coucou everyone!You've heard the Disney versions — but the original tales? Not quite the same. In this episode of Europhile, we dive into the haunting, bizarre, and surprisingly spiritual world of Hans Christian Andersen. From a mermaid who gives everything up and turns into sea foam, to a thumb-sized girl nearly forced to marry a mole, to a mysterious Snow Queen who's more misunderstood than evil - these are not the stories you thought you knew. No happy endings. Just heartbreak, symbolism, and some of the darkest plots in European fairy tale history. Catherine then tells us about the Scandiavian concept of Logam. Listen now for a fairytale reframe you won't forget!Main topic sources: Hans Christan Andersen's Fairy TalesMini topic sources:Lagom: The Swedish Work-Life Balance Philosophy Lagom - Wikipedia Kate's recommendation: Italian orzata/Latte di Mandorla syrupCatherine's recommendation: Pimm's cupDon't forget to follow us on Instagram & Tiktok :)Cover art and logo by Kate WalkerMixed and edited by Catherine RoehreTheme song by LumehillThank you all - ciao!

What does it mean to winter - deeply, wisely, and together? In this episode, we explore the idea of wintering in community - how we might not only survive the cold seasons of our lives, but move through them together. The Wilder Kin are a collective of five women holding space for seasonal, regenerative ways of being together in nature. Together they created Wintering - a deep invitation to slow down, reflect, and reweave community through the wisdom of the dark months. There's something powerful that happens when we slow down, not in isolation, but in connection. When we make room for rest, reflection, and the kind of honest tending that can only happen in darker times. We talk about: :: How important it is to support ourselves and each other - not just when things are easy, but when everything feels uncertain or chaotic :: Personal winter stories and reflections about the warmth that can still be found in winter through shared meals, songs by candlelight, the quiet noticing of tiny shifts :: What becomes possible when we winter together :: How we can build our capacity to be with the endings - personal, collective, systemic :: What it means to compost the old, to let things fall, and to trust in what's becoming This is an invitation to be with the seasons and to remember that even in winter, you are not alone.

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.

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?

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?

Blaine and his sidekick begin with an announcement about the home site The Alabama Take (0:01) before getting into what the episode covers for the week (0:45). Once Adam and Donovan join, Blaine breaks down some things about Todd Chrisley (1:26) before they briefly discuss the new Wes Anderson trailer (4:09) and theater expectations gone wrong (6:27). From there, it's the usual non-spoiler section where Blaine broadly explains how 'Duster' goes sideways (8:51), an overview of this season of 'Hacks' on Max (11:03), general feelings on the season of '100 Foot Wave' (16:19), and the overall thoughts of 'The Last of Us' (19:20). In the spoiler section, Adam and Donovan break down 'Hacks' (21:34). Blaine and Adam discuss the profundities of '100 Foot Wave' (36:03). And finally, Donovan and Blaine try to determine if 'The Last of Us' ends fairly (53:30). For more, visit the website The Alabama Take linked here.

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!
