In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 321), I take you through Paul's deeply personal letters to the Thessalonians and the powerful hope found in Christ's return. Beginning in Acts 17 and continuing through 1 Thessalonians 4–5, we discover the heart of a spiritual father who was forced to leave a young church but never stopped caring for them. His message is as relevant today as it was then: Jesus is coming again, the dead in Christ will rise, and believers have a living hope that reaches beyond the grave. In a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and endless speculation about the future, Scripture calls us to something better—faith, readiness, and confidence in God's promises. This message offers comfort for those grieving the loss of loved ones, encouragement for weary believers, and a renewed vision of the glorious reunion awaiting all who belong to Christ. We are children of light, and our hope is anchored in the certainty that our Savior will return.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:26) - Mark Rutland Announces Travis Rutland's New Podcast(00:01:58) - 1 Thessalonians(00:05:17) - 1 Thessalonians 4, Preventing the Dead(00:07:26) - Deception in the deep forest(00:14:42) - Paul's letters to the Thessalonians(00:20:49) - The Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture of the Church(00:26:31) - The Day of the Lord Will Come(00:33:28) - The Message of Christ's Love Letter(00:35:00) - American Young People: Death and the Christian Life

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 320), I open Paul's letter to the Colossians and address one of the most important questions in all of Christianity: Who is Jesus Christ? Drawing from Colossians 1:11–19, John 1, and other key passages, I examine the biblical truth that Jesus is far more than a teacher, prophet, or miracle worker. He is the eternal Son of God, the visible image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, and the One in whom the fullness of God dwells. At a time when many are confused about the identity of Christ, this message returns to the bedrock truths of Scripture. If Jesus is truly God, then His sacrifice can save, His blood can redeem, His victory over darkness is complete, and His power is available for every believer today. Join me as we explore why the divinity of Christ is not a secondary doctrine, but the foundation upon which all Christian faith, hope, and salvation stand.- Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Colossians(00:01:15) - Colossians 1:11-19(00:03:26) - The Letter from Paul to Philemon(00:04:33) - Rethinking American Evangelical theology(00:13:20) - Jesus Confesses His Divinity to a Fallen Woman(00:18:44) - The Trinity in Christian theology(00:22:51) - The Trinity in Christian theology(00:24:22) - Paul on the Crucifixion(00:33:52) - Doubting Thomas

That curiosity propels the new hit Netflix rom-com “Voicemails for Isabelle,” a sort-of remake of “You've Got Mail,” set in San Francisco. We'll speak with the director, Leah McKendrick, about setting the film in her hometown. And we'll hear from you: What's a voicemail you'll never delete?

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 319), I take you into one of the most joyful books in all of Scripture—the book of Philippians. Written from a Roman prison, Paul's letter overflows with gratitude, faith, and rejoicing. Together we revisit the miraculous beginnings of the church at Philippi, from Lydia's conversion to the Philippian jailer's salvation, and discover why Paul could write with such confidence that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6). No matter your circumstances, God has not forgotten where your journey with Christ began. This message is a reminder that Christian joy is not rooted in comfort, success, or favorable conditions, but in the grace of God, the strength of Christian community, and the unshakable reality of Jesus Christ. If you need encouragement, hope, and a renewed reason to rejoice, this message will help you remember what God has done and trust Him for what is yet to come.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:26) - Mark Rutland Announces Travis Rutland's New Podcast(00:01:58) - The Epistle to the Church at Philippi(00:11:30) - Paul the Apostle and the Jailer(00:18:20) - Paul's Joy in the Letter(00:20:47) - Paul the Apostle(00:25:28) - Paul the Apostle: Rejoice in the Lord always(00:31:27) - Leader's Notebook

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 318), I take us into Paul's letter to the Ephesians and one of the most practical truths of Spirit-filled living. Ephesians is a book of grace, redemption, and the power of the Holy Spirit, but its message is not merely theological—it is deeply personal. The evidence of a Spirit-filled life is not found only in worship services or spiritual experiences, but in how we treat the people closest to us every day. From Ephesians 5–6, we explore what biblical submission really means, how Christlike leadership is rooted in self-sacrifice, and why healthy marriages, families, workplaces, and churches are built on giving ourselves for the good of others. The Holy Spirit was never meant to remain a doctrine; He is meant to shape the way we love, serve, forgive, and relate to one another. If you want to know what Spirit-filled Christianity looks like in real life, this message is for you.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Crisis of Ephesus and the(00:07:23) - The Entire Story of Ephesians(00:14:49) - Living in the Spirit(00:17:22) - Wives' Submission in the Spirit(00:23:08) - The Head of the Household in Ephesians 5:22(00:28:38) - Paul on Spirit-filled Living(00:33:26) - The Spirit of Ephesians

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 317), I take you into Paul's powerful letter to the Galatians and one of the most important truths in all of Scripture: salvation comes by faith alone in Jesus Christ. From Galatians 3, we discover why Paul spoke so forcefully against anything that tries to add human effort, religious performance, or legalism to the finished work of Christ. The Gospel is not Jesus plus something else—it is Jesus alone. Through the story of the Galatian churches, we explore the danger of being drawn away from the simplicity of faith and into systems of rules, guilt, and spiritual performance. Whether the temptation comes through religious traditions, legalistic thinking, or the pressure to earn God's favor, Paul reminds us that Christ has already borne the curse and secured our freedom. This message is a timely call to trust fully in the grace of God, rest in the sufficiency of Christ, and live by the power of the Holy Spirit rather than the works of the flesh.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:26) - Congratulations!

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 316), I take you into Paul's powerful letters to the Corinthians and uncover a theme that many readers miss: unity. Writing to believers living in one of the most corrupt cities of the ancient world, Paul calls the Church to stand together in holiness, ministry, and love. Through passages from 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians, we discover that our identity is not shaped by the culture around us, but by Christ who has called us, purchased us, and made us His people. From the holiness of the believer as the temple of the Holy Spirit, to the gifts of the Spirit working together in ministry, to the promise of our resurrection and eternal glory, Paul reminds us that what unites us is far greater than anything that could divide us. Ultimately, his message reaches its highest expression in 1 Corinthians 13: faith, hope, and love remain, but the greatest of these is love. This message is a call to reject division, embrace the unity of the Body of Christ, and live in the transforming love of God. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - 1 and 2 Corinthians(00:08:42) - 1 Corinthians: Unifying the Church(00:13:05) - Paul on the Body and Sexual Hygiene(00:16:35) - 2 Corinthians 7: Unity of Holiness(00:19:58) - 1 Corinthians 3: Unity in Ministry(00:21:30) - The Gifts of the Spirit(00:24:51) - 1 Corinthians 15(00:30:28) - Paul's masterpiece, 1 Corinthians 13(00:37:52) - Leader's Notebook
Hi! You've Got Mail from me, Bella
In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 315), I begin a journey through the New Testament epistles with Paul's remarkable letter to the believers in Rome. Written to Christians living in one of the most powerful, corrupt, and morally confused cities in history, Romans answers timeless questions: Who is God? How are we saved? And how can we faithfully follow Christ in a culture that is moving away from Him? From Romans 1, Romans 8, Romans 10, and Romans 12, we discover the unshakable foundations of the Christian faith—God's love, salvation through Jesus Christ, the transforming power of grace, and the call to present our lives as living sacrifices. Paul reminds us that while the world may pressure us to conform, God transforms us by renewing our minds. Most importantly, Romans declares the great hope of every believer: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. If you need fresh confidence in God's grace and strength to stand firm in challenging times, this message is for you.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:26) - Congratulations!

In this episode of High Theory, Kim talks to Ben Mangrum about Generic. A curious term that denotes both the conventions and rules of genre, and the impersonal or nameless quality of things like generic drugs or generic devices; the generic structures many of our cultural codes. Ben uses both senses to talk about the history of computing. He tells us about the surprising role the genre of comedy has played in our interactions with computers. Ben suggested that we reference Spike Jones's 2010 short film I'm Here as an example of computational comedy. In the episode Ben references Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (Penguin Books 2016), a book of comedy and social critique about online dating, as well as classics like Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express (Collins Crime Club 1934), William Gibson's Neuromancer (Ace Books 1984), and the film You've Got Mail (1998). He also talks about David Schumway's writing on screwball comedies, “Screwball Comedies: Constructing Romance, Mystifying Marriage” in Cinema Journal 30 no. 4 (Summer 1991): 7-23, doi: 0.2307/1224884, and Lauren Berlant's on genre, “Genre Flailing” in Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 no. 2 (2018). If you want to learn more, check out Ben's book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford 2025). In this cultural history of the computer, Ben shows that comedy has been central to how we've made sense of the technology's sweeping effects on public life and private experience. From the first Broadway play to include a computer in the 1950s to popular films and joke-telling digital assistants, many have used comedy to make the computer seem ordinary. Others have tried to stage the assimilation of computers within corporate life as a kind of comic drama. Mangrum describes these and many other ways in which comedy and computation have come together as a new genre of experience: the comedy of computation. Ben Mangrum works as an Associate Professor of Literature at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research examines topics ranging from the environmental humanities to twentieth-century “world literature” and the history of ideas and media underlying contemporary methods in the digital humanities. His first book, Land of Tomorrow: Postwar Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, was published in 2019 by Oxford University Press.

There's a scene in You've Got Mail where Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan not to take something personally. It's just business. And she stops him cold. The business is her life. Of course it's personal. I think about that scene a lot. Because she's right. And also, she's stuck. Here's the shift I want you to make. Stop taking things personally. Start taking them professionally. Those sound similar. They are not. Why Actors Take Everything Personally Our instrument is us. That's the whole thing. A graphic designer can move a logo and it's fine. But when someone tells an actor to be warmer, edgier, younger, more authoritative, our nervous system doesn't hear direction. It hears: you're wrong. You're not enough. Go home. That's not what's actually happening. What's happening is market alignment. Casting is almost never about worth. It's about fit. Specification match. And actors who build long careers learn to separate identity from utility. You are a human being with inherent worth. You are also a specific service provider with a specific skillset. Those are not the same conversation. What "Taking It Personally" Actually Sounds Like They didn't like me. I embarrassed myself. Everyone else is better. I'll never book. Why do I even do this. That's emotionally fueled, identity based, and global. It turns one moment into a life narrative. I had someone say something to me in seventh grade about my glasses and I haven't put them on a single day without thinking about it. I need to let that go. And so do you, wherever yours is. Compare that to taking something professionally: interesting, that read didn't align with their brand direction. My tone might have been too strong for that buyer. Let me track this pattern. That processing is specific, curious, and contained. It asks what's useful here, not what does this mean about me. Rejection Is Not a Verdict It's feedback from a small sample size in a specific moment in time. It can mean the wrong vocal age for that campaign, a timing issue, an energy mismatch, budget politics, an internal brand shift, or just randomness. None of that equals not talented. When you take it personally, you collapse all that nuance into shame. When you take it professionally, you extract patterns that help you grow. Professional working actors are pattern analysts. They ask where they get traction most often, where they consistently stall, what adjectives keep showing up in feedback, and whether their casting lane is tightening or expanding. That mindset turns rejection into career intelligence. Criticism vs. Direction A lot of actors hear criticism when what's actually being offered is direction. And those are different things. Direction means someone is investing attention in your performance. They see potential. They believe you can pivot. They're trying to get you to the finish line. Personal thinking hears I'm failing. Professional thinking hears we're collaborating. Calibration is not humiliation. It's collaboration. Emotional Regulation Is a Career Skill You cannot eliminate emotional reactions. You're an artist and a human. But you can shorten the recovery time. That's the real work. You feel it. You name it. You move through it. You extract the lesson. You return to action. You don't feel it, become it, build an identity around it, and quit marketing for three weeks. There's actually some neuroscience behind this. Your brain doesn't distinguish well between a social threat and a physical threat. When casting says not this time, your amygdala activates the same alarm system designed to keep you from getting eaten by a bear. Your prefrontal cortex, the strategic thinking part, partially goes offline. That's why you catastrophize. That's why you spiral. That's not weakness. That's biology. But professionals train themselves to reengage the thinking brain faster. They create cognitive bridges. This is one data point. This is market feedback. There is no bear. That language literally helps regulate your nervous system. A Story About a Booking I Didn't Get Early in my career I had an audition I was really proud of. Multiple callbacks. Real connection with the casting team. And then silence. Weeks and weeks. Another callback. More silence. And then I found out who booked it and I spiraled. Not because that person wasn't good. They were. But because I had made it mean something about my personal trajectory. I sat in my apartment thinking maybe I'm just not castable. Maybe I missed my window. That's not professional processing. That's identity panic. Fast forward a few years. I ended up working with that same creative team on a completely different campaign. Nothing changed about my worth. My fit changed. The project changed. And that was one of the first times I understood: the industry isn't rejecting you. It's sorting for specificity. It's one giant Tetris game trying to fit everyone where they belong. If you don't understand that, you will burn through emotional fuel you cannot afford. Your Homework After your next rejection or piece of feedback, grab a notebook and draw a line down the middle. Label one side personal story. Label the other side professional data. On the personal side, write everything your brain is saying. They hated me. I sounded stupid. I'll never book. Get it out. Don't censor it. Then on the professional side, translate. The spec may have skewed younger. My pacing was too deliberate. This buyer prefers conversational. Whatever it is. That exercise moves you from emotional fusion to observational distance. And that distance is where strategy lives. Do it consistently and I promise your recovery time shortens, your auditions feel lighter, and your business thinking sharpens. What I Want You to Remember You are not fragile for feeling things deeply. That sensitivity is part of what makes you a compelling performer. But you are responsible for what you do with those feelings. A sustainable acting career is not built on constant validation. It's built on emotional regulation, pattern recognition, positioning, and the willingness to keep showing up. When you stop confusing your identity with your casting, you free up enormous creative and professional energy. The next time rejection or criticism hits, pause and ask one question: what's useful here? That's what builds longevity. Want to Talk Through This?

Kelly Goshorn is an old-fashioned girl at heart who loves Jesus, her family, and all things historical. A native Virginian, she developed a deep love for history, exploring battlefields and museums, which eventually led her to write inspirational historical romance. After earning degrees in social studies, education, and history, Kelly spent nearly two decades as a licensed childcare provider before returning to writing – a passion sparked by her youngest son. Her debut novel, A Love Restored, was published by Pelican Book Group in 2018, and her nonfiction piece, “Beautiful Words,” appeared in the Spoken Moments anthology. She lives in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains with her husband of 30+ years, Mike. They enjoy BBC period dramas, board games, and spoiling her Corgi, Levi. You've described yourself as, “An old-fashioned girl trapped in the 21st century. How has that shaped your passion for historical fiction? Kelly: As long as I can remember, I’ve loved history. I had a wonderful grandfather who would tell us stories about his life growing up and stories about our ancestors. The random things I'd find – my dad's World War II Navy picture or my mom's ration book from World War II – I always found them fascinating. But I suspect Little House on the Prairie probably had something to do with it. That was my favorite show growing up. If I did anything to get in trouble, all my mom had to do was threaten to take that away. Because back then, we didn't have unlimited access to shows. If you missed it when it was on, you didn't get to see it again until summer re-runs. Then when Laura called Almanzo “Manly” and I discovered historical romance, I think that just sealed the deal. KyLee: Honestly, that sounds similar to my experience. I had grandpas who were in World War II in the Korean War, and we got to hear all their stories. And I watched a lot of old black-and-white shows, lots of westerns. I love that, as adult women, God's allowed a way for us to look back on those good memories and the values we developed, and now we're creating with them. Can you share how your youngest son inspired you to start writing? Kelly: When the time came to move on from my career as a childcare provider, I wasn't sure what the next step was, but I sensed from the Holy Spirit that it was not going back to teaching. So my husband and I , and our small group, started praying about it. Now my youngest son Noah always love to write. He might be watching SpongeBob, but he had a notebook he always carried with him, and he'd be writing some kind of story. I remember watching Noah one day and thinking how I always loved writing research papers in college and grad school. I thought of myself as hopelessly un-creative, but I loved to play with the sentences, move them around, tweak them. And that day I thought, “I should give fiction a try.” So I started writing, just for myself, no secret desire to be published. And after a few nights of me sitting in front of the TV with my laptop, my husband asked what I was doing. And when I told him, he wanted to read it, so I let him. And he said, “This is good, but you should write our story.” Shortly after that, I switched to writing our story, but set in the 1870s, and it became something I couldn't wait to do each day. I started study the writing craft, and in that process of writing and learning, I realized that was the answer to my prayer. And our story became my debut, A Love Restored. Darcy: I love how you say discovering your new path was a process. You had your family and church family praying, but the Lord didn't drop you a note in your lap to “write novels now.” You were curious, and you tried it, and in that, He show you this was what He wanted you to do. Sometimes we really want the writing on the wall, but God's like, “No. You'll find out. Just trust Me on this.” I think that's cool. KyLee: I was just about to tell you, Kelly, that you should go on the Hope-Filled Romantic Podcast with Heather Tabers. She and I chat quite a bit, and she just started her podcast for Christian romance lovers who believe in both storybook love and the hope that God provides in real life. So I was double-checking her podcast name on Instagram, and I see Kelly Goshorn has already been on the Hope-Filled Romantic Podcast! Authors get to share about their books, but also their real-life love stories, if they’re comfortable doing so. Just a quick shout-out for Heather – our listeners should definitely check out Kelly’s episode on her podcast. Kelly: And secondary shout-out, I had the privilege of reading and endorsing Heather's book that just released, Their Burden to Bear. If people like the World War I era, I highly recommend it. A fantastic novel. Do you have a favorite battlefield or museum or site that you visited that inspired a story scene? Kelly: I'm really inspired by the area where I live in Northern Virginia. Loudoun County has a lot of Revolutionary War and especially Civil War history. We're in a border county in a border state – the next county over became West Virginia. In the western part of our county, we had Quakers who were pro-union, and we have people who were pro-slavery and voted for Virginia to secede from the union. If I could set all of my stories here, I would. I have two, A Love Restored and The Christmas Carving set in Loudoun County. Is there anything especially interesting you could share with us, or something God has laid on your heart that you'd like to share with your readers? Kelly: I like to write about flawed characters that overcome their obstacles with faith and fortitude. Recurring themes in my books are about self-acceptance, and forgiveness, and second chances. The world can be so unforgiving, and we can be so hard on ourselves. I like to write those kind of stories where you kind of dig inside yourself and your faith, and you come out on the other side. And hopefully readers also find a swoon-worthy romance 'cause I'm a romance girl. Darcy: I love that. I was actually reading in Luke this morning, the stories of the prodigal son and the scriptures around there where the Pharisees condemn Jesus for hanging out with sinful and unrighteous people. And I was thinking how we know the story of the lost sheep where Jesus said, “I leave the ninety-nine, and go after the lost one.” Yet, even as we're trying to follow Jesus, we build this sense of self-righteousness. And then we start comparing: “I'm not as holy as that person. I'm not as far along as this person.” So I love that you write about flawed characters who learn to accept that. Because God uses flawed people. He says that over and over in His Word. Book Two in the Enduring Hope series, six stand-alone novels by six different authors, examining manmade catastrophes and how the characters overcome. When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be found. Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers. Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department's wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret. After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. When an unnamed source reveals Etta's secret identity to a rival reporter, she falsely accuses Leo of being the informant. As the truth comes to light, Etta must persuade Leo to give her a second chance or lose the only man she's ever loved. What inspired your heroine, Etta Maxwell – a wealthy heiress living a double life as an undercover reporter? Kelly: I am not a plotter. I never know how the story will go; the Lord kind of brings it all together for me. But one thing I did know is I didn't want my characters to be employees of the factory because I thought that might take the reader too close to the grittiness of the disaster. I knew I wanted to make Leo a fireman, and I needed to keep Etta active in the story, so I decided on making her a reporter. Now there were some female investigative reporters, like Ida Tarbell or Nellie Bly, but most female journalists were relegated to domestic or social columns. So I decided Etta would have to masquerade as a man to pull it off. She also writes for The Gilded Gown, a social magazine in Boston. And her parents let her move back to Brockton and work with their charitable foundation, unaware she is secretly the top-notch reporter Henry Mason. How did you go about researching this real-life disaster, this shoe factory explosion? Kelly: I started with a list on Wikipedia of manmade disasters in America, and I'm not exactly sure why I clicked on the Grover Shoe factory. I can only say it was the Holy Spirit. And I immediately saw two images: one of this giant factory, four floors that covered three-quarters of a city block, and an after-picture in which literally nothing is left but the smokestack. And I instantly thought, “Nobody could have survived this. What happened?” I found myself reading more out of my own curiosity. And I just felt like I needed to tell these people's stories. I found a document called, The History of the Brockton Relief Fund, which was compiled a couple years after the disaster. And that became my bible, so to speak because it was written so close to the time. Sometimes even newspapers from the time contradicted one another, so this document became my ultimate primary source. I also found a lot of great information on the Brockton Fire Department through a document online. They have a fire museum there. And I found YouTube documentaries on early 20th-century firefighting and fire investigation techniques. Many of their techniques have now been proven to not be the best way to get to the bottom of an arson, but it's what they used then. Oh, and I found great information on the fire dogs and how they were used, why they were Dalmations. It was fun to incorporate so many details into the book. How do you balance the historical material with the romance? Kelly: It was kind of tricky to build a romance in the midst of such a disaster. It was the beginning of the workday when the fire started, so the building was full – nearly 400 people. And between the broken gas lines and floors treated with linseed oil, they had to call off the rescue within twelve minutes. Fifty-eight people perished. You almost expect it to be the reverse, that only 58 people survived, because it was just a perfect storm of things contributing to the fire. So trying to figure out how to put a romance in that, when you don't want to lighten the gravity of the situation, was tricky. It was another reason to keep my characters outside the factory, and not related to the factory owner or anyone bearing such a heavy weight that they can't think of romance. I started the story with fictitious arsonists she's investigating, and they team up for that. So when the disaster occurred, she already had sources inside the fire department and she's following leads, which enabled them to have that close proximity needed for a romance. Darcy: In some ways, the fact that their romance grows out of something so deep and tragic lets us know that these people are not involved in some light infatuation. They can't hide behind the typical early-romance stage, but have to get to know each other for real. What's next for your writing? Kelly: I don't have any contracts at the moment, but last week I turned in a proposal for a novella collection, along with Carolyn Miller, Angela Couch and Jacinta Meredith. If it's picked up, it will be four marriages of convenience at Christmas. (You might be able to tell that marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes. I will always pick that up to read – it fascinates me.) And this weekend, I'm working on a proposal for a book about a mail-order groom that's got some serious You've Got Mail vibes. Where can listeners connect with you? Kelly: I would love to have readers visit my website and sign up for my newsletter. I publish monthly, and I include updates on my writing, but I also cover a new historical romance release each month. I do giveaways. And I like to talk about historical tidbits that history-nerd girls like us enjoy. If you're on Facebook and Instagram, you can find me there, probably talking way too much about my Corgis. I love my Corgi dogs. Levi, who we mentioned at the beginning, has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. So now we have another Corgi puppy named Biscuit. I also have pages on my website dedicated to extras and historical details for the book. Things that don't always make it into the story, which I hope readers will enjoy.

On this week's @Betches, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the internet microculture moment you NEED to know: Heated Rivalry, the must watch obsession that's fully taken over everyone's feeds. Maybe we do love hockey after all. Then the conversation takes a sharp left into a wildly fascinating debate: who has an inner monologue, who doesn't, and what it says about how everyone's brains work. After that, it's holiday mode as the girls play a Christmas movie quote game and tackle the question that always starts a fight: is You've Got Mail a Christmas movie? Aleen is firmly in the “yes” camp. Finally, they get into awards season energy, breaking down the absurd Golden Globes gift bags and what's next for the Oscars after 2028.
