There are no book spoilers in this episode!Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Entangled Publishing) was an undeniable hit in the world of romantasy fiction. But in a saturated market, how did Fourth Wing rise to such fame?To get to the bottom of this book's popularity, resident publishing expert, Hannah explains how Entangled's market-driven approach to publishing and reader engagement set Yarros up for a certain kind of success. They then dig into the complexities of authorship and copyright in a rapidly evolving literary landscape — particularly in genres like romance and fantasy (i.e. genres that consistently play with and rely on tropes). To add some much-needed theory to the mix, Hannah draws on Foucault to consider "authorship" and the "the author function."At the end of the episode, Hannah offers a thesis about authorship, originality and modern publishing that is not to be missed!If you liked this conversation, be sure to check out these related episodes:Bridgerton x Reading the RomanceTwilight x Girl CultureThe Night Circus x Reading EcosystemsTo learn more about Material Girls, head to our Instagram at instagram.com/ohwitchplease!

Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is really interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.

John continues his conversation with Devin Sizemore. They talk about taking time off as an entrepreneur and building a life that includes vacations and family time. Devin also shares how he uses strategic time blocking to make space for both work and family and explains why putting family time on the calendar is just as important as booking a client meeting.  In Part 1, the two discussed building powerful business networks and generating quality referrals.

This tool can live forever.” “I want to surround myself with people who are infinitely better than me at everything, and then I want to do nothing to hold them back.” “Leadership is running so hard, so fast, with such a clear vision that everyone knows who they're following and where to follow.” “Treat your family like a client, too.” “You only get one chance to do a lot of these things (family moments), so make sure that they're higher on your priority list.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz (https://a.co/d/iqS5Gdl) Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (https://a.co/d/7uvBRqG) and Fourth Wing 3-Book Series (https://a.co/d/cbIVN0B) Every Shot Must Have a Purpose: How GOLF54 Can Make You a Better Player by Pia Nilsson, Lynn Marriott, Ron Sirak (https://a.co/d/glRjYXn) Three Feet from Gold: Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities! by Sharon Lechter & Greg Reid (https://a.co/d/7yddGbx) The Connector's Way: A Story About Building Business One Relationship at a Time by Patrick Galvin (https://a.co/d/d7sKvtd) Leading to the One: Creating Cultures of Clarity Where People Are Engaged, Developed and Fulfilled by Nikki McLeod and Bob Borchert (https://a.co/d/2aEGQhY) The Art of Self-Leadership: Discover the Power Within You and Learn to Lead Yourself by Heather R.

Wann wachsen wir und schöpfen unser Potential aus und wann ruhen wir uns aus im Trott unseres Lebens? Ich habe diese Tage viel über den Gegenpol zu Frust und Selbstzweifel nachgedacht und denke, dass wir alle mehr wagen können. Wann hast du zuletzt etwas gelernt oder begonnen? Dich getraut, in irgendetwas nicht gut zu sein? Es macht unsicher im ersten Moment. So ging es mir in meinem ersten Jahr Klavierunterricht und sogar neulich beim fröhlichen Töpferkurs. Doch unser Nervensystem muss weiter gefüttert werden mit neuen Eindrücken, sonst schließt sich ein Käfig vermeintlicher Sicherheit um uns – ob wir wollen oder nicht. Ich bin also gespannt: Was lernst du gerade? Lass gerne einen Kommentar auf www.gluecksplanet.com da und tagg mich auf Instagram oder schreib einen Kommentar auf Youtube, wenn dir die Folge gefallen hat – ich freue mich von dir zu hören. In dieser Folge werbe ich für das neue Good Vibes Only Album, verweise auf ätherische Öle und berichte vom Töpfern mit LFCeramics, der Folge #45 im Zurück zur Natur Podcast und dem Buch Momo und Fourth Wing.

Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik.  This is why every episode of a good show ends in a cliffhanger. (It's why I'm really angry with the author of the Fourth Wing series… leaving every book with a cliffhanger.) It's also the same reason why many high-performing women find themselves overwhelmed quickly when making changes in their health and fitness. These women are giving their all in every area, but just like your computer only has so much RAM and you can only have so many tabs open before it slows down, you can only do so many things before your executive function (the “management system” of your brain) gets taxed. Add in stress, poor sleep, anxiety (all common symptoms of hormone imbalances) and your executive function is even more limited. The Zeigarnik effect states ''Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” In other words, the Zeigarnik effect causes you to have lingering thoughts about the to-do's you haven't done, the deliverables you have yet to finish because your brain is looking for closure. We can hack this effect (the same way I've hacked netflix by pausing episodes in the lull instead of finishing the episode) by reducing cognitive overload. So how do we do that when we have a million priorities? In this episode, I'm going to share with you 4 key ways and strategies to mitigate the Zeigarnik effect that is causing you a lot of overwhelm and stress when it comes to your health and fitness goals. Let us know your biggest takeaway from this episode! Time Stamps: (1:15) Intrigued By This Week's Title? (2:27) The Concept of Hooks (7:32) Why This Effect Exists (15:14) #1: Top 3 Priorities (18:06) #2: Consistency (28:35) #3: Chucking 2 Minute Tasks (33:27) #4: Mind Management (37:34) You Once Prayed For These Tasks (42:55) The Power of Breath Work (45:25) Please Share with A Friend---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Why are we drawn to real-life movie and book locations? In this episode, we unpack the magnetic pull of film sets, book settings, and the landscapes our favorite characters once walked—even if only in fiction. From misty moors to neon-lit city corners, there's something deeply human about wanting to step into the world we've imagined.I also share my experience taking a storytelling-based color assessment (yes, that's a thing) and how it revealed deeper layers of the stories I gravitate toward—and the places I'm pulled to visit because of them. It's a reflection on how narrative shapes our travels, our memory, and maybe even our identity.From Velaris and the Night Court in ACOTAR (think Zermatt, Switzerland's snowy peaks and charming villages) to the battlefields of Fourth Wing, and the castles and rugged landscapes of Scotland that remind us of Terrasen from Throne of Glass. These places, once confined to the pages of our favorite books, can come alive when we travel to them.If you've ever traveled to places that feel like they came straight out of a movie set or BookTok or dream of walking through scenes that once felt fictional, this episode is for you.Read Your Color Quiz
