Podcasts about feeling seen

Journalist, podcast host, comics author, and all around movie enthusiast Rosie Knight has brought something rare to the table: a movie that was brand new to Jordan! From 1976, it's kind of a horror, it's kind of a slice of life, and it's totally unlike anything else you've seen. Starring a 14-year-old Jodie Foster and a deeply creepy Martin Sheen, it's THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE! Then Jordan has two quick things -- one about our show, and another about the late, inimitable Tim Curry.

Writer/Director Shoshana Rosenbaum grew up alongside Celine and Jesse from Richard Linklater's THE BEFORE TRILOGY. She was a recent American in Europe when BEFORE SUNRISE came out, a working 30-something when BEFORE SUNSET hit, and a married mom when BEFORE MIDNIGHT hit us with a dose of reality. She talks with Jordan about how she related to Celine (and the films as a whole) over that time, and how her personal transformation led her to become a filmmaker at 40. Then, Jordan has one quick (and tearful) thing about the singular Dolly Parton. Keep up with Shoshana's film, THE OTHER YOU, and watch the trailer here.

An earlier edit of this conversation was released in March of 2024, in conjunction with the release of director Gabriel Abrantes' AMELIA'S CHILDREN. Jack Haven comes from a creative family, and has been acting and creating music and art since childhood. In adulthood, success in their career has shown them the difference between being playing a role on screen and playing one in real life. Joe Buck, the pretend cowboy and wannabe hustler at the center of 1969's MIDNIGHT COWBOY goes on a journey of identity, too. It's also a journey of friendship, and one through the perils and pleasures of life in the big city. We brought back this episdoe (which originally aired just before I SAW THE TV GLOW was released) in celebration of Jack's role as the central antagonist(?) in director Jane Schoenbrun's latest film, TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. Then, Jordan has a new one quick thing honoring the work and legacy of Hayden Panettiere.  Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom is some of the most important work you will ever do. And a few weeks ago, Diane Sorensen and I had a conversation that brought that home for me all over again. We talked about the good girl who became the good mom — the one who kept the peace, said yes when she meant no, and made sure everyone around her was okay. We talked about what that costs her. But here’s the question I keep sitting with since that conversation: Where did the good girl learn to be good in the first place? Because that’s where the generational pattern lives. That’s where the unhealthy cycle began its life. And that is what today’s episode is all about. If you haven’t yet listened to that conversation with Diane — go find it after this one. It’s called The Real Cost of Being the Good Girl Who Became the Good Mom, and it sits right alongside everything we’re talking about today. Before We Begin — What Breaking Generational Patterns as a Homeschool Mom Actually Means Breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom doesn’t happen by intention alone — and it also doesn’t happen overnight. I want to share a belief I hold around this topic — because I think it needs to be said before anything else. You cannot break a cycle you don’t understand. And you’re not going to break a cycle completely and absolutely. You have your entire life to figure out how to do that. I prefer the term cycle interrupter over cycle breaker — because there is no magic formula here. The cultural conversation around breaking cycles can feel, if we’re not careful, a little too easy. As though declaring yourself a cycle breaker is the same as doing the work. It isn’t. What I do know is this: what you believe dictates how you experience life. The stories and the limiting mindsets you created when you first had a moment of trauma or challenge — or when you began recognizing generational patterns within your family of origin — those stories have a dramatic effect on everything. On how you approach your homeschool, your relationships, and how you see yourself. But it is 100% shiftable — the moment you acknowledge it. The moment you see it, you cannot unsee it. And that is where change begins. The Song That Keeps Coming to Mind About half of the women I work with are full-fledged focused on breaking generational cycles — or at least giving voice to the limiting mindsets that have kept them small, not living their fullest lives. And the song that keeps coming to mind when I sit with these women? This Is Me from The Greatest Showman — sung by Keala Settle. About not being a stranger to the dark, about hiding away, about learning to be ashamed of your scars, and about being told that no one will love you as you are. And then — the moment she decides she won’t be broken down to dust, that she is brave, that she is bruised, and that she is not scared to be seen. That song epitomizes what breaking generational patterns sounds like from the inside. If you don’t know it — listen to it here: This Is Me by Keala Settle from The Greatest Showman. Because those lyrics are the anthem of this episode. That song captures exactly what breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom feels like from the inside. Five Ways I’ve Been Breaking Generational Patterns as a Homeschool Mom Here are five ways breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom has shown up in my own life. I share these not to hold myself up as an example — but because I know that when you hear someone say out loud the thing you’ve been living quietly, something shifts. It invites you to shift too. Cycle One — I listen when my kids are vulnerable. My parents didn’t. “You can’t tell a kid how to calm down, you have to show them.” — Jodi Carrington My parents didn’t consistently listen when I was vulnerable. Not because they wouldn’t have wanted to — but because they were so locked into their own inner worlds, so focused on finding safety in their own experience, that they didn’t have capacity to hear mine. A very wise daughter said to me once — mom, the experiences you had as a child are not the ones I’ve had. We are not dealing with the same things. That stopped me. Because I had been so caught up in my own story that I couldn’t conceive there was a completely different narrative happening inside my own home. Your child’s experience is their own. Your job — and mine — is to be present enough to actually hear it. Cycle Two — I don’t make my kids responsible for my emotions. “The more times big people are able to regulate in the physical presence of a child, the better that child begins to develop the skills of emotional regulation.” — Jodi Carrington This is one I still catch myself in occasionally. But the quality of conflict in my home is completely different than it used to be. This past weekend I was trying to book a family event. The website wasn’t working. I tried another. I called the place directly. By the time I got to my kids they were frustrated with me. And I do not like disappointing the people I love. But here’s what I noticed: a long time ago I would not have been able to hear their disappointment at all. I would have been so locked in my own frustration that I couldn’t take in that they were disappointed. I would have made their frustration entirely about me. Instead I held my own emotions. I heard theirs. That is breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom in real time — not perfectly, but meaningfully. Cycle Three — I ask my kids what they want and feel. No one asked me. This is partly why I am so fierce about homeschooling the child right in front of you. Not a curriculum. The actual child. Their actual interests. Their actual curiosity. I wasn’t asked what mine were. I loved my grade four teacher — Ms. Brenda Wiens at Harry Balfour Elementary in Grande Prairie, Alberta. She liked my drawing of lords and ladies. She gave me stickers on my birthday. And I was so starved for the feeling of being seen that I actually convinced myself she was my real mother. I planned to tell her. I told my mother first. Spoiler — Ms. Wiens was not my real mother. But that is what happens when a child feels unseen. The mind creates stories to explain the gap. So now I do the intentional work of making my kids feel seen. Fifteen minutes of eyeball-to-eyeball time where they lead. One-on-one trips — like the one to Newfoundland with just our son, where he caught cod after cod on the Atlantic and still wouldn’t eat a bite of it. However, we do it — we show up for our kids in ways that make them feel seen on their terms. Cycle Four — I stopped pursuing my mother for validation. This one is on the fresh side. Not new — but fresh. You’ve heard me reference the Mother Wound. I have a couple of episodes on that topic if this is new to you — go find those after this one. For a long time, I could see, plain as the sun rising, that my father’s behaviour was the source of so much fear and pain and unpredictability in our home. What took me much longer to understand was the dance that occurred between my parents — and the role my mother played in that dance. Subconsciously. An agreement to participate in a dynamic that had its own rules, to satisfy the unmet needs of each of them. What the Eldest Daughter Carries As the eldest daughter, I played my own unique role in all of that. First and foremost as a sort of parent — for those who didn’t know how to maintain peace, or for those who didn’t know what to do with the unhinged moments of unpredictable mental illness, anxiety, and violence. I was the one who held it together. Who read the room before she could read books. Who managed everyone else’s emotional world while her own went unattended. I came to understand that my mother has a limited capacity to fully see me — and to address the hardest challenges between us. But the little girl inside me still wants her. Still needs her. Still desires that mother — no matter how old I’ve become. Breaking the pursuit cycle means that when I don’t get my needs met from her — I turn inward. I ask myself: what do you need right now? And I find a way to give that to myself. “The answer to the world’s most significant human-centered problems is simply this: We all just want to feel seen.” — Jodi Carrington When we stop looking for that exclusively from the people who cannot give it to us — who have proven repeatedly that they can’t and they don’t know how — that is when we begin to find it in healthier places. In the people who actually can. Cycle Five — Breaking the Silence. This is the most radical break of all. I routinely receive emails from homeschool moms who are living in isolation and fear — unable to get out of very unhealthy relationships. And I hate that they feel trapped like that. I have lived experience that you cannot make someone get out. They have reasons for staying. But if you are someone who has broken her silence — who has left something like that — I want to say: bravo! You are doing extraordinary work. The hope and clarity and life you are bringing to your relationship with your kids and yourself — that is no small thing. And your children are receiving something that was never given to you. That is the cycle breaking. Right there. I’m sure it feels wobbly. But I believe in you. And the little girl inside me is genuinely grateful that you are doing it for your kids. The Email That Arrived This Week Just this past week I received this from a woman I’ve been coaching: “I feel I need help in learning how to parent myself. However, I have no idea how to do that and that’s what’s stressing me. Because I know a coach isn’t supposed to provide solutions to the coachee. So my question right now is do I need to prep myself before we meet? And what should I be doing or asking myself in order to parent myself?” And here is what I wrote back: “What a beautiful self-awareness. When did that become clear? Tell me why you believe reparenting would be useful for you now. And what about this conversation stresses you? Reparenting — also known as self-coaching — is a very useful tool. Been there, done that, still do. Your relationship to yourself is the most important thing. It directly informs how you relate to everyone else too. Before we next meet, you could get clear on a few things: What part of you knows she needs to be reparented — and when did you first begin to notice? If you had identified a need in front of your parents — how would they have responded? Your ideal self as a parent to your kids — what would she do differently? Those three questions are for you too. Right now. You don’t need to be in coaching to ask them. You just need to be willing to sit with the answers. We Are Story “We are not the things we accumulate. We are not the things we deem important. We are story. All of us.” — Jodi Carrington Girlfriend. That line. We spend so much time in the homeschool world accumulating things — curriculum, resources, methods, proof that we are doing this well enough. And I get it. When you have chosen an unconventional path, you want evidence that it’s working. But here’s what I know after two decades in this space: your kids are not going to remember the curriculum. They are going to remember you. Whether you were present or distracted. Did you listen or deflect? And in the hard moments — did you repair, or did you disappear into shame? That is the story. That is what gets passed on. And the generational pattern — the one we have been talking about today — that is a story too. One that was written before you were old enough to hold a pencil. One that you have been living inside without consciously knowing it was there. The moment you see it — really see it — you can begin to write something different. Not all at once. But differently. That is the generational pattern and that is what breaking generational patterns as a homeschool mom is really about. Ready to Start Breaking Generational Patterns in Your Homeschool?

This interview originally aired in June of 2025; this version has been re-edited with new content from Jordan. Samantha Sloyan is a familar face from countless television shows (Grey's Anatomy, Rizzoli & Isles, The Pitt), but that face will be particularly familiar to anyone who keeps up with the “Flanaverse” — movies and shows from Mike Flanagan, like Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Haunting of Hill House, and now the forthcoming Carrie miniseries, in which Samantha plays Mrs. White, Carrie's mom. At the time of this interview, Sloyan's latest project is a departure for Flanagan, and perhaps for her as well — The Life of Chuck. Together, she and huge fan Jordan discuss the ways that she feels seen by FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachan) in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and the many ways that Lynch's storytelling style appeals to her craft as an actor.

Who makes you feel completely understood in the way you work?Spending time with people who share your Working Genius types can give you energy, joy, and the relief of feeling fully understood. In episode 118 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explain why these pressure-free interactions act like a “personality spa,” allowing you to enjoy your natural gifts without needing to produce a result. They also offer practical ideas for finding your people and creating restorative experiences at work, at home, and in your friendships.Topics explored in this episode:(00:00) The Relief of Being UnderstoodPat introduces the idea that Working Genius diversity is valuable, but occasionally being around people with the same genius types can be deeply restorative.Cody explains that recharging does not always require unplugging from everything because people can regain energy by plugging into the right relationships and activities.(03:09) Using Your Genius Without PressurePat and Cody describe how shared Discernment allows them to evaluate movies, sports, rules, and ideas simply for the enjoyment of thinking together.They explain that a “personality spa” creates permission to play with a genius without being responsible for executing the ideas that emerge.(06:33) Building Your Own Genius PlaydatePat describes the freedom people experience when they spend time with someone who shares both of their geniuses and does not require them to edit themselves.Cody shares his idea for a “minnow tank,” where entrepreneurs could bring half-formed ideas for others to discern and galvanize without the pressure of a formal business pitch.(09:44) Feeling Seen at Work and HomePat imagines companies creating lunches for employees with matching Working Genius combinations so they can share experiences, feel understood, and positively commiserate.Cody and Pat discuss how shared genius types can create connection in friendships, marriages, and families while still producing potential blind spots.(12:24) A New Way to Recover From BurnoutCody explains that burnout often comes from the type of work a person is doing rather than simply the amount, making genius-aligned conversations a meaningful source of renewal.Pat and Cody encourage people to find a Working Genius doppelganger, schedule a pressure-free “spa date,” and share what they discover from the experience.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: www.tablegroup.com.

With a glance at her lengthy filmography, you'd never know that Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay is barely in her twenties. THE SERPENT'S SKIN (now available on digital and Blu-Ray) is her sixth feature. And while her work is generally categorized as horror or fantasy, the undercurrent of romance there is a tell for the romantic saga that made her feel seen: TWILIGHT (the books, the movies, the whole series). So which Bella is she? And how has she made so many movies already? Jordan asks all this and more...

Jeff Hiller is someone you've seen. If you haven't seen him in his Emmy-winning turn on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, you might have seen him on the (newly Emmy nominated) WIDOWS BAY or PLURIBUS (which has, since this interview took place, earned him his second Emmy acting nom). Or maybe you've seen his memoir, ACTRESS OF A CERTAIN AGE, on the bookstore shelves. If you don't know Jeff, now you will: in this episode, he  tells Jordan about his connections to the timeless star-studded Southern dramedy STEEL MAGNOLIAS. But first he shares the significance of a character who brought the romcom "gay best friend" front and center at last: it's  George from THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, one of Paul Rudd's earliest roles. Then Jordan has one quick thing about a new can't-miss dad movie, William Kaufman's MAN OF WAR.  The cast of STEEL MAGNOLIAS on DONAHUE in 1989 Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

This episode originally aired in December of 2023. It's a holiday weekend in the US so we figured...why not have Christmas in July and bring this one back from the vault? Since then, Matt Rogers has gone on to become even more of a star, co-hosting the now televised Culture Awards on Bravo (with his Las Culturistas partner Bowen Yang), and set to be one of the stars of Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2. Comedy writer, singer, co-host of the Las Culturistas podcast, and now Prince of Christmas, Matt Rogers is filling a musical comedy niche previously occupied by…well, no one at all. Is it possible that he got here by following his inner Torrance Shipman, aka Kirsten Dunst's character from the 2000 film Bring It On? Matt shares why the movie was important to him growing up, how he relates to it as a former high school star athlete, and how he found his way to his current Christmas throne. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about some holiday horror hits. Listen to Matt's album, Have You Heard of Christmas?

HUNGRY director James Nunn knew he wanted to be a director from the time he first watch a realistic dinosaur stomp onto the big screen in JURASSIC PARK. And even before that, he was inspired by another Steven Spielberg classic, 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (the one where Indy teams up with his father, played by Sean Connery). A young James (named for James Bond, btw) borrowed his own dad's robe tie to swing from the bannisters at home. Decades later, a dozen films under his belt (like the ONE SHOT series, WILD CAT, SHARK BAIT, and now HUNGRY), he hasn't lost his love of storytelling, spectacle, and adventure. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the upcoming continuation of Japanese mega-franchise HIGH&LOW. Watch HUNGRY at home!   Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Michael Sarnoski is forging his own unique path in Hollywood, with projects small (PIG), big (A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE) and somewhere in between, as with his newest film, THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD. Sarnoski's latest stars Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer and lands in theaters this weekend (June 19, 2026). Sarnoski's creative path -- which has often involved his own unique take on a familar genre or character -- was inspired and fortified as a young man by seeing the work of another singular director taking on a property he loved, and putting his own spin on in: Sam Raimi and Spider-Man, a match made in Marvel Movie heaven. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about all the movies you should see if you loved THE FURIOUS. You can read more at THE ACTION DESK. Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Dr. Laura welcomes psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Jody Carrington for a powerful conversation on what it means to stay human in an increasingly AI-driven world. Dr. Laura and Jody explore the increasing disconnection people feel in spite of constant digital access. Jody reframes what we label as a mental health crisis as, instead, a deep loneliness epidemic. She shares insights on how technology, social media, and the relentless push for productivity have chipped away at meaningful relationships and emotional regulation. She highlights the essential role of connection in helping individuals and organizations thrive. Dr. Laura and Dr. Carrington also address the urgent need to prioritize emotional regulation skills as a core strategy for leadership, rather than being a secondary consideration. Dr. Carrington offers practical and thought-provoking ways for us to reconnect, from creating tech-free spaces to practicing intentional pauses that restore presence and calm. Together, Dr. Laura and Jody shine a hopeful yet honest light on modern life, emphasizing that tools like AI can create efficiency, but they can't replace authentic interaction. Dr. Laura's thoughtful questions guide a rich dialogue on how individuals, leaders, and communities can reclaim connection, support one another, and build environments where people feel seen and valued. “Technology isn't the problem. How we use it is the issue, and we're up against it as humans because we are wired for connection.” - Dr. Jody Carrington About Jody Carrington: Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy, and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good. Dr. Jody's work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences. Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast UNLONELY. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.  Resources: Website: DrJodyCarrington.com “Feeling Seen” by Jody Carrington, PhD Podcast: Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington LinkedIn: Dr-Jody-Carrington YouTube: DrJodyCarrington Jay Baer The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam Grant podcast   “I Wish I'd Quit Sooner: Practical Strategies for Navigating and Escaping a Toxic Boss” by Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett Dr. Laura on LinkedIn Where Work Meets Life™ on YouTube   Learn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.live For more resources, look into Dr. Laura's organizations:  Canada Career Counselling Synthesis Psychology Order Dr. Laura's new book today: I Wish I'd Quit Sooner: Practical Strategies for Navigating a Toxic Boss Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when you've done everything right on paper but still feel disconnected, restless, and not enough? In this coaching session, I sit down with Sean as he opens up about addiction, childhood emotional neglect, self-worth, and the internal pressure that followed him into adulthood. Together, we explore how becoming a father can surface old wounds, why self-criticism often disguises itself as discipline, and what it looks like to start building trust and safety from the inside out.

The director of DINNER IN AMERICA and CAROLINA CAROLINE has a secret, but it's not hidden under a giant papier maché head. He's spent much of his life as an avid home recorder, generating thousands of songs. There's a direct line between that background and the earworm musical climax of his DINNER IN AMERICA. And when he saw 2014's FRANK, a quirky little movie about a band with no interest in stardom giving their all to recording an album, he saw something familiar in a way he'd never seen on film before (and as a former sensitometry major, he knows a thing or two about film!).

Chandler Levack is another of the current class of talented Candian ladies directing fresh, original cinema. Her latest is MILE END KICKS (starring Barbie Ferreira)…and, at the same moment, ROOMMATES, a Happy Madison film starring Sadie Sandler. And she memorably broke onto screen with festival darling I LIKE MOVIES. She joins Jordan to give us a fresh look at our show's most relatable multi-hyphenate, Greta Gerwig. Chandler tells stories inspired by the desire to revisit her own history, and the result (like FRANCES HA or LADYBIRD for Gerwig) is somehow universally relatable.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a little movie that could called Blind Cop 2 (read her feature about it from The Action Desk!)

In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

If you have ever played hide-and-seek as a kid, you know the sense of anticipation as you wait in hiding and the exhilaration of being found. As we grow, the idea of hiding may not come with the same sense of excitement. This episode showcases the call of Nathanael, a man who was known but still fetl anonymous. Jesus saw Nathanael. He saw Nathanael's flaws, gifts, insecurities, and potential. Jesus sees all of us, and calls each of us to something great.  Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

When Aimee Kuge set out to make her indie-horror-romance CANNIBAL MUKBANG, she knew that she didn't want her lead to be your typical final girl. And in her "feeling seen" pick, we find another female protagonist that is nothing like anyone else in film (and yet, maybe more like a real-life person than most film characters could ever hope to be). It's Patty, as played by Emily Skeggs, in Adam Carter Rehmeier's 2020 sleeper hit (thanks, TikTokkers!) DINNER IN AMERICA.

Given that she's the voice of one of the most iconic bad bitches in entertainment history — Pam Poovey from the long-running and groundbreaking ARCHER — it's no surprise that Amber Nash felt seen by another bad bitch of media. Granted, she might not be the first no-nonsense professional woman that comes to mind. But Lorna Cole, Renee Russo's character in LETHAL WEAPON 3, was the first feeling seen pick that Amber came up with, and the more she examined the pick, the righter it felt.

Writer/director Sophy Romvari's feature debut, BLUE HERON, already has her being added to the shortlist of great Canadian auteurs. And on that list, she'd be alongside the late, great Jean-Marc Vallée, whose 2005 film C.R.A.Z.Y. captures some of the same deeply felt, retrospective family drama that Romvari captures in her own films. After this conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about illustrator Tony Stella, who passed away this week. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!

Send us Fan MailThis episode is really special to me.For the first time, my husband Earl is joining me on the podcast, and we're starting a two-part conversation about what it looks like to love your spouse with intention.I share from my heart what has made me feel the most loved in our marriage, not from a place of perfection, but from real life. The kind of love that makes you feel seen, heard, and truly known.We talk about the power of being noticed in the everyday moments, the importance of listening without trying to fix, and how consistent, thoughtful actions can completely change the way your spouse feels.I also open up about the hard moments, when I didn't feel heard, and how we worked through it. Because every marriage will have those moments, but they don't have to break you. They can actually make you stronger when you invite God into them.One of the biggest shifts in our marriage has been committing to pray together daily. It's created a deeper connection than I can even fully explain, and it's become something we truly depend on.Marriage is not about getting it all right. It's about showing up with intention, keeping a soft heart, choosing forgiveness, and letting God shape your love over time.If you're a husband, my prayer is that something in this episode helps you love your wife in a deeper way. If you're a wife, I hope you feel seen and encouraged in your own journey.This is just the beginning of the conversation, and I'm so grateful you're here.Scripture referenced: Ephesians 5:25 1 Corinthians 13 James 1:19 Galatians 5:13

It's a part of Dan's DVD collection; for Jordan, it was a first-time watch. And while Wonder Boys may have come out in the year 2000, that places it at the tail end of '90s era cinema (and, yes, pre-9/11 cinema). Which means it reminds Dan and Jordan of a movie era that brings up a lot of dangerously warm feelings.  Here's a sneak peek at that conversation!

In this insightful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host T.S. Wright welcomes returning guest Lori Yarbrough for a deep and practical discussion on one of the most overlooked dynamics in relationships: intent versus impact.While many people focus on what they meant to say, Lori emphasizes that what truly shapes relationships is how words are received. Drawing from biblical principles and decades of marriage experience, she unpacks how misunderstanding, defensiveness, and poor communication quietly erode connection—and how intentional listening can restore it.Key Topics CoveredIntent vs. Impact Defined Understanding the difference between what you meant and how it was received—and why both matter.Why Good Intentions Aren't Enough Even loving words can cause hurt if not communicated carefully.The Danger of Defensiveness Common reactions like “you're too sensitive” or “that's not what I meant” can shut down meaningful dialogue.Biblical Communication Principles Speaking the truth in love, managing emotional responses, and aligning your heart before speaking.Marriage & Conflict Resolution Insights Lessons from nearly 45 years of marriage, including how roles, personality differences, and emotional processing affect communication.Practical Tools for Better Conversations Lead with acknowledgment, not defenseAsk clarifying questionsListen to understand, not to winPause when emotions are highThe Power of Feeling Seen and Heard Relationships deteriorate when people feel unheard—and heal when they feel understood.Faith-Based Perspective on Relationships How Christ-centered humility, patience, and love transform communication in marriage and beyond.Key TakeawaysBoth intent and impact can be true at the same time.People don't process words logically first—they feel them emotionally.Listening well is more powerful than being right.Healthy relationships require emotional awareness and spiritual maturity.Communication isn't about winning—it's about understanding.Call to ActionFollow and subscribe to Kingdom CrossroadsShare this episode with someone who needs relationship encouragementVisit Lori's website to explore her teachings and resourcesCheck out Jesus Said TV for additional faith-based contentResources MentionedBook: United in Purpose by Lori YarbroughWebsite: LoriYarbrough.comCheck out this link to view Kingdom Cross Roads on TV.https://jesussaid.tv/?affiliate=tswright_gccTo get a copy of our new book "Embracing the Truth" or to have TS Wright speak at your event or conference or if you simply want spiritual or life coaching or just a consultation visit:www.tswrightspeaks.comVisit our website to learn more about The God Centered Concept.

Katarina Zhu stars in her own directorial debut, Bunnylovr, which made a splash at Sundance and is now showing in theaters. In it, she grapples with themes of sex, love, and disjointed relationship -- but she doesn't go as dark as Lars von Trier in Nymphomaniac Vol. I --  a movie whose lead, Young Joe, made a teenage Katarina feel seen in ways she hadn't before. And you better believe Jordan was all-ears to learn why. After this conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about some action picks for the big and small screen this weekend.

Esteemed film critic and entertainment journalist Jen Yamato (LA Times, Washington Post, Asian Enough podcast) loves cinema, but hasn't often felt seen in the movies -- especially as a kid. But she found something to relate and aspire to in Ellen Aim, as played by a very young Diane Lane, in 1984's Streets of Fire. All about that film, plus karaoke joy, Little Giants, Terrifying Girls High School, and more, coming at you in this very fun conversation.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas may be the foremost authority on women and horror, having written the book (and now documentary!) 1000 Women in Horror. So it's appropriate that the character who made her feel seen is a woman in horror: Angela Bettis as the titular May in (past guest!) Lucky McKee's unforgettable 2002 indie psychological horror film, MAY.  After this deep dive into a classic, Jordan has one quick thing about another past episode of this show -- Kara Brown on 'The Philadelphia Story' and setting the record straight on Millennial Feminism.

Buddy Lee Hooker is the son of a stunt rider, and the siren song of the family trade has made him one of the biggest legends in Hollywood stunts, an authority on the stunt world, and a 70 (!) year veteran of the industry. He's curated Criterion's new “Stunts!” Collection, and brought us one of the few films that offers an honest look at the life of a Hollywood stuntman (stuntman, stuntman…): Hal Needham's 1978 film HOOPER, starring Burt Reynolds and Jan-Michael Vincent.

You'll recognize Camrus Johnson's face from his roles as Batwing on the Batwoman series or his new turn from hero to villain in season 2 of One Piece, where he plays Mr. 5. But you might not know that he's also a director – of both television and award winning animation shorts – and an accomplished musician. Camrus and Jordan talk about the power of seeing yourself in a superhero (both before and after getting to embody one!) as he brings 2000s TV superhero icon Static Shock to the Feeling Seen table. Then, Jordan has one quick thing (two quick things?) about a pair of badass action films that just came out in the states: Mexicali and The Forbidden City.

Actor/writer/director Grace Glowicki is the creative voice behind DEAD LOVER (a Sundance surprise from 2025 that is getting a theatrical release this month) and TITO, and she stars in the archly comic horror thriller HONEY BUNCH (from directors Madeline Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli, now streaming on Shudder). While her films and performances are uniquely her own, Grace takes a surprising inspiration from John Turturro as BARTON FINK (yes, the same character that made film critic Walter Chaw feel seen just a couple episodes ago!). Here's an episode that proves that the same character can prove fodder for two very different conversations!

Jordan sits down with the one and only Matthew Lillard, an actor who looms large in the hearts of any Millennial horror lover, and whose fruitful career is still going strong -- right now he can be seen in CROSS Season 2, SCREAM 7, and FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2. But you might be surprised to learn that he devoted a decade of his life to getting one particular movie made: his directorial debut, FAT KID RULES THE WORLD, starring Jacob Wysocki.

Writer, film critic, and educator Walter Chaw has been writing and thinking about cinema since he was a teenager -- when he discovered how it could make him feel understood, and that saved his life. Now, he's a critic whose unapologetically personal takes on cinema makes some folks love his work, and really pisses some other folks off. Despite his artist's temperament and his expertise, Walter wants to stay in touch with the common man...just like BARTON FINK, from the Coen Brothers' classic 1991 anti-ode to the Studio System. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about some exciting June Squibb News.

This interview originally aired in January 2023, and we've updated it with a fresh opening and "One Quick Thing." Comedian Gianmarco Soresi is brutally honest with us this week: he deeply relates to Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham!) in Milos Forman's 1984 classical classic, Amadeus. But while Gianmarco can own his Salieri-like insecurities, he can't let it keep him from pursuing virtuosity.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about an exciting new action film from master Yuen Woo-Ping, Blades of the Guardians.Gianmarco's latest special is Thief of Joy.

We're thrilled to be adding the delightful Sophie Nélisse to the list of YELLOWJACKETS stars we've spoken with on the show; you'll recognize her as young Shauna Shipman from that series (or perhaps from her role in the beyond-buzzy HEATED RIVALRY). Now she's starring in the fun and freaky cursed-object horror movie WHISTLE, out in theaters this weekend (February 6, 2026). Now 25, Sophie's been acting since she was 11, and all that has taught her a thing or two about her emotions -- naming them, trying to control them, and knowing when they just can't be reined in. We are talking about all of that through the lens of Pixar's INSIDE OUT 2 on today's show!Then, speaking of emotions, Jordan has one quick thing about the transcendent Catherine O'Hara.  Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

Welcome to this week's episode of When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast that explores how melody and lyric become a lifeline in the toughest moments.I'm your host, James Cox, and today I'm sitting down with folklaur—the soulful indie‑folk artist behind the hauntingly intimate album Leaves & Letters. Hailing from Philadelphia, Laura (who cleverly turned her English‑major love of stories into the moniker “folklaur”) invites us into the quiet spaces where her music lives—those still‑water moments that linger long after the final note fades.In our conversation we wander through Philly's vibrant but underrated live‑music scene, swap stories about cheesesteaks and creative compromises, and dig deep into the paradox of being alone to connect with a community. Folklaur shares how she balances raw emotion with lyrical storytelling, wrestles with perfectionism in the studio, and discovers that the most powerful songs are often the ones that feel imperfect.We also get a rapid‑fire “lightning round” that reveals her late‑night writing ritual, her love for silence before a track, the word she over‑uses (community), and the artists who shape her—Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, Noah Kahn, and Greasy Abrams.If you've ever felt unheard, wrestled with anxiety, or simply crave music that feels like a gentle, honest conversation, stay tuned. By the end of this episode you'll understand why Folklore believes that “music heals because it's real,” and you'll leave with a renewed sense that you matter—just as her songs intend.Press play, settle in, and let the healing power of Folklore's music speak.

If you're one of Chris Stuckmann's 2 million + YouTube subscribers, you've known about his debut feature, the horror film Shelby Oaks, for years -- long before the movie was bought and distrubuted by NEON, maybe even before he started the record-breaking Kickstarter campaign that funded the film. But you might not know all that much about the world Chris grew up in -- and left behind, in part because of his deep love of cinema. It's a world rarely depicted in film: the world of the Jehovah's Witnesss. And that's the setting of the movie he chose for this episode: 2022's You Can Live Forever, a queer, teen romance out of Canada.Then Jordan has one quick thing about another horror film, this time one that just screened at Sundance: Undertone.
