On this episode of Do You Watch What I Watch?, we're recapping Hallmark's The Stars Between Us, and this one, well, left us with mixed feelings.It had charm. It had potential. But did it fully deliver?We break down the storyline, the chemistry, the standout moments, and the places where it didn't quite hit the emotional mark. Plus, we share our official rating and where it ranks among Hallmark's Loveuary releases.If you watched The Stars Between Us, we want to hear from you: Are we being too tough, or did you feel the same?

Loving the Child Who Didn't Remember – Love Evolving in Spirit What if love didn't begin with memory… and didn't end with loss? In this deeply personal and quietly powerful episode of Soul Unfiltered™, Faye Lao explores the evolution of love across a lifetime — from the innocent joy of a two-year-old child… to the endurance of marriage… to carrying a husband's ashes through an airport overseas… to weddings, illusions, and the unexpected return of a love thought finished. Through humor, grief, spiritual reflection, and honest storytelling, Faye reveals how love transforms rather than disappears. Some love teaches devotion. Some teaches sovereignty. Some returns in six-month intervals until the lesson is finally learned. This is not a Hallmark version of love. It is love under fire. Love in ceremony. Love in absurdity. Love that evolves with awareness. The episode concludes with a powerful Ericksonian meditation, The Sun Within the Heart, guiding listeners to reconnect with the steady, sovereign light of love that has always lived within them. If you've ever wondered whether love truly changes—or whether we do—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT THE STARS BETWEEN US Seven years ago, Kim made a connection with a stranger during an eclipse event. Now a fledgling news reporter, Kim returns to Illinois for this year's eclipse, unaware that their paths may cross again. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE STARS BETWEEN US February 21, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF THE STARS BETWEEN US Sarah Drew as Kim Matt Long as Malcolm BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS 7 years ago, we're in Carbondale, Illinois and it's eclipse time! Malcolm is on top of a hill with his telescope, totally nerding out. His girlfriend isn't nearly as pumped as he is and she heads down the hill to snag some Rocket Dogs. While she's gone, a woman named Kim shows up. She's drawn to his telescope. They start talking and bond over their love of space. Right before the eclipse happens, her boyfriend Blake calls her. He's finally arrived, so she scurries off to meet up with him. 7 years later, Kim is now working for a news station. The person who was gonna go back to Carbondale to cover the eclipse bails so she volunteers to take on the case. Who knows, maybe she'll bump into the hunk from 7 years ago. And wouldn't you know it, they're both actually there. But somehow they keep missing each other. At a masquerade party, they get to talking but obviously they're rocking masks. Her first news spot is rocky but goes kind of viral. She ends up getting the invite for her eclipse spot to go national! She's freaking out! Her camera person and Malcolm's best friend end up meeting and really hitting it off. You'd think that would mean that Malcolm and Kim would end up meeting. Nope. They sure don't. They end up going multiple days without realizing they're both there. It's the day of the big eclipse and they were able to secure this GIANT scientist to come and be interviewed. When he ends up getting lost, they go and snag Malcolm. Naturally, they don't chat at all until they come face to face live on air. The chemistry is NUTS! After they go off air, they promptly go and chat and kiss and miss the eclipse. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

The Legend of St. Valentine,Long before heart-shaped candy and Hallmark cards, the story of Valentine's Day was filled with rebellion, underground weddings, ancient Roman festivals, and a few legends that blur the line between myth and history. Who was Saint Valentine really? Why was love once considered an act of defiance? And how did we go from martyrdom to chocolate?We'll trace the circuit from ancient Rome to modern romance, separating fact from folklore and uncovering how traditions evolved over centuries.It's history, it's culture, it's a little bit rebellious… and yes, we'll probably find a code analogy or two along the way.Grab your popcorn (or your favorite beverage) and join us live.Because you deserve a little spark. ❤️⚡♠️@LarsVonRetrieverhttps://youtu.be/Rx9OoLwiAho?si=9xSwGYHrXcjXXo5rhttps://youtu.be/Z-IcTaUMbdg?si=9W8E8nL4Y3FxRR9Khttps://youtu.be/nFmKUuXZD_0?si=sX0rnXm1-c5cIogChttps://youtu.be/xZfLJCQFRUU?si=WwE-6baVqRUIGs_Rhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=8_riiTTAQ8C4iSxHmbfewA

Life can change in an instant, testing our resilience, faith, and perspective. Lindsey Roy joins the show to share her journey from a traumatic boating accident that led to a leg amputation to a rare lung disease requiring a double lung transplant, revealing how these experiences reshaped her motherhood, leadership, and daily life. She reflects on trusting her body, leaning on community, and embracing vulnerability—showing how even the toughest challenges can inspire growth, gratitude, and a renewed sense of purpose.  Key Takeaways:   Life-altering challenges can become catalysts for deeper perspective, resilience, and purpose.  Trusting your body and advocating for your health are essential parts of healing.  Vulnerability in leadership builds trust, connection, and healthier work cultures.  Community, faith, and support systems help carry the weight when life feels overwhelming.  Adaptability and gratitude can transform limitations into opportunities for growth.  About Lindsey Roy:  Lindsey Roy has twice needed surgery to save her life. The first, a leg amputation after a traumatic boating accident and the second a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease which constricted the blood vessels in her lungs. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have created a passion in Lindsey to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them. She did a TEDx talk in 2017 titled "What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness" which has been viewed by nearly 200,000 people. Her story has been featured in major publications, such as O Magazine, Fast Company, Forbes, and Working Mother.  Lindsey's perspective is also honed by her roles as a corporate executive, mother, and wife. She is Senior VP Strategy & Brand at Hallmark, where she is leading various initiatives and groups—many of which draw from the lessons shared in The Gift of Perspective. She has a degree in Journalism & Advertising with a minor in Speech from Kansas State University and serves on many charitable boards, including Ability KC, Steps of Faith, and the Ad Council. Her greatest joy in life is spending time with her family—her husband Aaron and children, Mitchell and Morgan.  Connect with Lindsey Roy at:  https://www.instagram.com/lindseyroy26/?hl=en  https://lindseyroy.com/   https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Perspective-Wisdom-Gained-Losing/dp/1773271865/ref  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

In this episode of Do You Watch What I Watch?, we're recapping and reviewing Hallmark Channel's “Because of Cupid,” starring Evan Roderick and Amy Groening!From the playful premise to the romantic payoff, this movie delivered the kind of charm and chemistry that reminds us why we keep showing up for Hallmark in the first place.We break down:

Filmmaker John Wilson (creator of HBO's How To with John Wilson) joins Tommy Evans on Trail 103.3's Trail Lunchbox for a conversation that starts with a snowstorm detour in Deer Lodge and ends at the literal foundation of New York City.Wilson's new feature The History of Concrete follows his attempt to make a documentary about the world's most overlooked material—until the film industry reality sets in. After taking a class on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he tries applying that formula to a movie about concrete… and his plan begins to crack—both figuratively and (in true John Wilson fashion) surprisingly literally.Montana Premiere: Thu, Feb 19 at 5:00 PM at the MCT, followed by a Q&A with director John Wilson.

This Quackcast was recorded on the 14th of February so our cast was about Valentines day and romantic love stuff! A day named after a martyred Christian from the latter days of Rome who was beaten and then beheaded. Apparently he advocated for the right of Roman Legionaries to marry so that's where the love and romance association comes from… Which is interestingly ironic to me because the true meaning of "romance" and "romantic" isn't lovey dovey stuff, but rather it refers to things that are associated with ancient Rome, or are evocative of the idealised memory of it, hence people who're obsessed with ideals used to be called "romantics". The concept of "romance" has since been simplified and bastardised to only mean lovehearts and Hallmark type commercial ideas of people courting - chocolates, flowers and all the rest. We chat about that and actual lovely dovey comics and movies and books and things. Out of the three of us much of Banes' work has more of a focus on love than anything else. He even has a comic called "Kaiju Valentine", which has a fantastic love story at its centre between a giant woman and a normal sized man, you should really read it! But his other comics like Typical Strange and Bottomless Waitress that he works with me also feature significant love plots. Some of my fave love stories are the movie Joe Vs the Volcano, and the books Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and The Rowan, all of them because although love is the focus they use it to explore other things: Destiny and self realisation of Joe Vs the Volcano, dangerous, nasty toxic passion in Wuthering Heights, class politics in Pride and Prejudice, and becoming a whole, accepted person in The Rowan. Do you enjoy love stories or do one yourself? This week our best-off from Gunwallace is Kaiju Valentine - Stomp meets a big stomping monster woman as she bops and bounces heavily to this cool, percussive and yet somewhat ethereal sound. It's party time here in Kaiju land! This is an infectious dance number!

Send a textEl romance vende, pero no se vende solo. Desde un púrpura exacto en un empaque hasta un resumen de IA que decide qué flores ves primero, recorremos 14 batallas donde la emoción choca con reglas precisas de propiedad intelectual. Hablamos en primera persona, con mirada práctica y ejemplos reales, para mostrar cómo marcas, patentes, derechos de autor, dominios y plataformas definen quién brilla en el estante y quién aparece en tu pantalla el 14 de febrero.Abrimos con la guerra del color: la saga de Cadbury prueba que la distintividad se gana con definiciones químicas, no con metáforas. Saltamos a Interflora para entender cuándo la publicidad por palabras clave confunde el origen y cuándo compite limpio; luego subimos de nivel hacia resúmenes generativos, donde la IA interpreta intenciones y redistribuye la atención. Contrastamos la idea de un supuesto “derecho al tráfico” con los principios de transformación y transparencia, clave para no perderse en titulares.También bajamos al taller del amor físico y digital. En tarjetas románticas, explicamos cómo separar tropos comunes de decisiones creativas protegibles, y por qué los mecanismos pop-up pueden estar blindados por patente. Revisamos la disciplina de Hallmark en cadenas de suministro y el fair use que permite reescribir mitologías clásicas sin explotar su mercado. Nos vamos al frente anti-falsos con Cartier: de enlaces ocultos en redes a sentencias que distinguen entre decir “amor” y usar Love como marca, incluyendo la protección tridimensional de diseños icónicos. En música, recordamos que nadie es dueño de la gramática del género; lo que vale es la selección original, no el cliché armónico.Rematamos con dos terrenos sensibles: quién posee el gesto de deslizar en apps de citas y cómo los secretos comerciales viajan con el talento, y el giro íntimo donde el copyright creado durante el matrimonio cuenta como bien de la relación, manteniendo la titularidad pero repartiendo el valor económico. El hilo conductor es simple y útil: la ley premia claridad, origen verificable y originalidad demostrable; castiga confusión, parasitismo y atajos.Si te mueve entender cómo se gana la vitrina y el primer clic en San Valentín, este episodio es tu mapa. Suscríbete, comparte con quien cree que febrero es solo romance y déjanos tu reseña: ¿qué frontera protegerías y cuál dejarías libre para todos?Descubre Protección para la Mente Inventiva – ya disponible en Amazon en formatos impreso y Kindle.

Sally tries her first ever solo episode, with the input of three Hallmark fans! Join the hot mess express as Sally jumps back in time to Hallmark's Valentine's Day 2020. Thank you for your patience with our break, and enjoy some new perspectives:)

Happy Potluck Saturday (and Valentine's Day!) Heal Squad. Surprise!! Today we're popping Super Bowl halftime fantasies, Valentine's Day history, and of course a little candy time. We talk trolling for fun (not harm), why lightness is sometimes the smartest response to a loud world, and how a halftime show is really just a business play anyway… so you might as well add buttered popcorn dancers and commit to the insanity. We talk how Valentine's Day went from Roman ritual to Hallmark pressure cooker, and why doing kind things daily beats one performative day every February. Nostalgia marketing, candy loyalties, cupid skepticism, doilies that won't die, and the lasting trauma of elementary-school Valentines. Whatever you're doing (buying discount candy, dodging expectations, or auditioning as a dancing snack) remember to keep your perspective and follow the fun. Talk shawtly!

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:43  Hello, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my gosh. It is February. It is the day before a holiday that even if you think it's a Hallmark holiday, maybe some of you don't even know what a hallmark is anymore, but even if you think it's like a made up holiday, I do think it's the best time to tell all the people that you don't tell you love all the time, that you love them, you know. And also, on this day, you realize how great pink and red look together. I mean, they look so good together, right? So these are episodes where you do some inspiration stuff. We talk a little bit about the things that you're kicking ass at. You get a mantra to get on with your weekend. Super fast, super easy. Hopefully you find these fun, let me know. You can also send your wins in for me to shout you out on a Friday's FYF episode, to beitpod.com/questions so you can leave questions or you can leave wins. Super fine. We answer questions on Thursday's episodes. Lesley Logan 1:32  So this inspired me. So Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, at 14 she built an airplane in her garage. 14 years old, built an airplane. Okay, pretty amazing. At 16, she flew it. At 21 she graduated MIT with a perfect 5.0 GPA. Now she's solving mysteries that stumped Einstein. Stephen Hawking cited her in research before he died. Jeff Bezos tried to recruit her, and she said no. So we'll put the link to this whole story in the notes. And also, after I read this, I discovered that the Wright brothers had a sister who kicked some ass and they wouldn't be where they were without her. So just kind of amazing what women have done in that space. So essentially, she built this plane, then she learned how to fly it, then she applied to MIT, and they're like, you're not good enough. And so then she actually sent them a video of her flying her plane that she built, and she just did some incredible stuff in her time there. And also now she's studying really amazing theories and quantum gravity with, like, where, like, what about small things and gravity, and what about black holes and where do things end, and she's just, like, solving problems that, like, these people who are super famous for trying to have ever done. So really, really cool. Thank you, Sabrina for inspiring us all. And I just want to say, like, want to shout out, like the door was shut on her. She was told like you're not enough, and she didn't believe them. And I think that that's super important. I think all of us need reminders that just because someone says no doesn't mean that it's a no and that you're not enough. It sometimes means that you need to knock again and go, hold on, let me show you again, or it means you need to knock on a different door, but if you really believe in who you are and what you do, that is all you need. And I think it's really easy for us to look for external validation. Of course, we want external validation, but you got to have the internal stuff too, so you can fight for yourself when you need to. So way to go, Sabrina. Lesley Logan 2:18  All right, so your win is from eLevate grad from 5.0 and she also was on my retreat the year before in Cambodia. So she said last year, that was in 2024, I went on Lesley's retreat to Cambodia. During one of the workshops, it hit me how miserable I was. I was teaching at a company almost an hour away, teaching five plus days a week as a lead instructor and master trainer. I had no time for myself, and was lucky if I got Pilates in more than once a week. When I returned from Cambodia, stepped down as a lead instructor and gave up all of my shifts except one. This is the first step in making big changes. As I wrote in eLevate just after a few months after returning from Cambodia, once I started eLevate, I realized that I no longer believed in that company's Pilates training that I've been thinking about it for a while, and no longer wanted to teach it. I notified the corporate that I would not be returning as a trainer for them in the following year, but I needed to finish out my current class. I also started making time for me again. I was practicing Pilates regularly during this past year, I started working at two boutique studios, which are much closer to home. One is a classical studio. I've been building my classes and privates there. There's so much more freedom at both studios, and I can teach the way I want, with no rules. My current class of trainees has one week of training left, and I will be free of that commitment shortly. So congratulations, you're free. Yesterday, I gave my notice I'd be leaving this company completely in January. So we're one month out, way to go, and we'll be giving up that one last shift if I feel an incredible weight has been lifted and I'm ready to start the next chapter in 2026 I'm grateful to Lesley for opening my eyes and to the fact that I don't have to settle and don't need to work for a corporation that I don't believe in. I'm excited to see what 2026 brings, if you're still reading, thank you. I know this is long. Laura, this one is amazing. And also shout out to all the changes you've made. I'm so glad you came to Cambodia, because I think eLevate would have been a different experience had you not had that realization the months prior. And you guys can all come to Cambodia and have that experience that Laura has had. A lot of people have that, and we've had people come back multiple times, because it's kind of a nice little milestone to reflect on. So anyways, I just want to say, like, we all do this, right? We all get into a position that we believe in and we loved, and then over time, it no longer fits. Like a pair of jeans that you bought, they no longer fit. But then you're like, oh, but I've had these jeans forever, or these jeans cost so much, or, you know, like, maybe these jeans will fit again. And we try to convince ourselves to, like, stay fitting those jeans, instead of just going, you know, I could just buy a more comfortable pair of jeans, or I could just go seek out, or I could try something new on. And I'm just so I'm so fucking stoked for you. Laura. So yes, this one is long, but I love it, and I think many people will resonate with the win. There's so many wins in here, each milestone in there of you taking back more of your time and putting yourself out there to be in a new space. You know, those are humongous wins. So shout out to everyone who you know turned something down this week or let go of something this week. Those are wins. Lesley Logan 2:31  All right, so now for a win of mine. This is going to sound hilarious, but I think it's important to see that there's wins in everything. I started a commitment on Q4 of last year that I was going to learn how to, like, just blow dry my hair. I have a lot of hair. I definitely screwed up along the way as my hair grew out. I didn't like, learn how to keep up with that, and then it just got really long. And I like it really long, but I like pretty much it only looks good the day after I see my hairdresser, and then it doesn't do anything at all. And I was I told my hairdresser, I think it's time I learned how to use a blow dryer. And I'm not gonna say I'm great at it. And by the time you're hearing this, I probably have only out of the four months I've been trying, I don't blow dry my own hair one week of those four months because I get my hair done. So we're only at like, 12 attempts, but it's really fun to be a beginner at something and try something new and and even if it just gets my hair dry, you know in the winter that that's great too. So so I don't have to become a professional blow dryer person, but I definitely can get good-ish at blow drying my own hair, and that's my win. So see, wins can be a lot of amazing, easy things. Imagine you're probably like Lesley, I had that win when I was 12. Great. Did you celebrate it? Did you? Lesley Logan 2:39  All right, so your mantra for the weekend is, my future is bright. My future is bright. My future is bright. Yes, your future certainly is. You're amazing. Thank you so much. We have an interview for on Tuesday, a recap on Thursday, and another FYF on Friday. So send your wins is so I could shout you out. Have an amazing day, and happy, I guess, Galentines, how can I say, be it day, be it, be in times day. There you go. All right, go Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 7:41  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Even if you think Valentine's is a Hallmark holiday, we think you'll be heartened by a love story that begins in grade school. Then, a castle sits in disrepair in Gunnison. It's just landed on Colorado's Most Endangered Places list. Plus, we "Raise the Curtain," on the Denver New Play Summit. And, Ryan asks, "Would I date that building?"

Happy Valentine's Day, love.February is often called the season of love — a time when so much attention is placed on romance, beauty, and desire.And while those themes are certainly right up my alley… I tend to celebrate this season a little differently than what's streaming through my inbox.I see it as an invitation to turn that energy inward and remember a deeper truth:Love is a state of being.Not a story.Not a performance.Not something to earn.Not something that's owed.A shift from Hallmark… to holy.This season, for me, is about restoring our relationship to the body as sacred, intelligent, and worthy of pleasure.That rings truer. Softer. More liberating.Love is not something we need to seek.It's who we are at the core.And that feels like the perfect doorway into today's episode — and our upcoming New Moon in Aquarius.This New Moon in Aquarius on February 17 arrives as a powerful solar eclipse—an initiatory moment that invites realignment, release, and forward movement.Eclipses tend to accelerate truth. They reveal what's no longer in resonance with who we're becoming and gently (or not so gently) usher us toward what's next.With electric Aquarius energy in the air, this lunation may feel intense, catalytic, or emotionally charged. You may notice sudden clarity, restlessness, or a deep knowing that something in your life—relationships, work, identity, or old patterns—is ready to shift.In this episode, I offer a grounding counterpoint to the mental intensity of Aquarius: embodiment.Rather than trying to think our way into the future, we explore how the body holds innate wisdom—and how listening somatically can help us meet change with clarity, safety, and self-trust.At the heart of this episode is a 10-minute shaking medicine practice—a simple, ancient, and powerful form of somatic release used across cultures and spiritual traditions to clear stagnant energy, regulate the nervous system, and restore embodied presence.Shaking is not about force or performance. It's about permission. About letting the body finish a sentence the soul has already begun.✨ In This Episode, We Explore:The energetic themes of the New Moon in Aquarius + solar eclipseWhy embodiment is essential during times of changeShaking as ancient, shamanic, and deeply human medicineHow movement can create clarity where the mind cannotA guided 10-minute shaking practice you can return to anytimeYou may find this practice especially supportive during this lunar cycle. Feel free to return to it again and again—clarity deepens through repetition.May this New Moon help you release what no longer aligns and guide you gently, powerfully, forward.Let's dive in!Dive deeper... I created a Shaking playlist for you!

Ready for an episode you're sure to love? Because it's Valentine's Day? Get it?Hallmark holiday jokes aside, we do think you're going to enjoy this one because it starts with something just about all of us can get behind: chocolate. More specifically, we're talking about Indulgence Chocolatiers (one of Radio Milwaukee's neighbors in Walker's Point) and its Valentine-inspired truffle collection. The adorable and lovingly crafted box is a pretty much perfect gift for the holiday, whether you're planning to hand it to the object of your affection or just treat yourself.Ann took on the arduous task of trying all six truffles and shared a few thoughts on each in her Milwaukee Magazine article. While you're checking out the mag's website, pop over to Ann's story on the return of Phobruary in Milwaukee's Silver City neighborhood. It's a month-long nod to the Vietnamese soup and a chance to support the hardworking restaurants on our south side.You'll also hear about the grand opening of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern spot Aya and — at the very heart of this episode — a special interview with two people who just celebrated a grand opening of their own: Meghan and Kyle Knall.The talented duo behind Birch and the brand-new French brasserie Cassis share their sweet origin story that took them from Alabama to Brooklyn to Milwaukee, as well as why they decided to bring a taste of Paris to the Third Ward. With their help, we dive into the new menu — from classic steak frites to the social-media-famous ravioli dauphine — and chat about their Southern roots, the quest for the perfect sweet tea, and a potential future barbecue project.

Did Hallmark Channel just deliver one of its most heartfelt romances of the year?In this episode of Do You Watch What I Watch?, we're breaking down “The Way to You”. Spoiler alert… we really loved this one.From the chemistry to the character growth (and yes, that pottery scene

Hallmark movies sanitize everything.Soft lighting. Clean characters. Happy endings. No messy reality.And sometimes… that's exactly how the church preaches the Bible.

It's time for a new episode covering Hallmark's latest romantic adventure set in the heart of New York City.ABOUT THE WAY TO YOUNew Yorkers Emma and Conrad agree to help each other find their missed connections after a subway blackout. Their search might lead to love, but not where either of them expects to find it.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE WAY TO YOUFebruary 7, 2026 | Hallmark Movies NowCAST & CREW OF THE WAY TO YOUKim Matula as EmmaAaron O'Connell as ConradBRAN'S THE WAY TO YOU SYNOPSISEmma is hanging out with Leo, her friend (and ex-boyfriend). She's a gallerist and he's an artist — tale as old as time.We then meet Conrad, who's talking with a co-worker about love. Both Emma and Conrad are single and ready to mingle. Emma's sister encourages her to get out of her comfort zone when it comes to dating, and she comes up with an idea: hop on the subway to the financial district during the morning commute to meet a “man in finance.”So Emma wakes up early to catch the train. And who else is up early and hopping on the subway? Conrad.While walking toward the platform, Conrad finds a book on the floor. He tracks down the woman who dropped it — and it's not Emma, it's someone else. But sparks are sparking. When she walks away, he decides to go after her. They talk on the train and it's going great.Emma is also on the train when coffee gets spilled on her. Then the train suddenly stops — it's a blackout! Emma and coffee guy are hitting it off. Conrad and book girl are hitting it off. It's meant to be!The next day, Conrad can't stop thinking about the girl from the train, so he puts an ad in the paper asking to meet his missed connection.Emma sees it and thinks it might be about her, so she shows up — only to realize it's not coffee guy. She's bummed, but agrees to help Conrad find the mystery girl.As they start hanging out more, the sparks obviously begin between the two of them — even though they're supposed to be helping each other find their missed connections. When Conrad finds out Emma wants to meet a man in finance, he introduces her to his co-worker. He's fine… but he's not Conrad.One night while they're out for drinks with her sisters and brother-in-law, Emma spots the train girl. She recognizes her because of the unique ring she's wearing. Reluctantly, Emma tells Conrad — even though she clearly wants to be with him.The girl's name is Simone, and she and Conrad start dating.Emma starts giving the co-worker more of a chance, and they all end up at a work gathering together — Emma with the co-worker, Conrad with Simone. That's when Emma realizes she only wants to be with Conrad. And Conrad starts realizing he's only into Emma.Conrad is about to leave for Tokyo for six months and wants to text Emma, but isn't sure what to say. He starts typing “I miss you,” but only gets as far as “I miss” before his ride shows up — and he accidentally sends it.Emma decides to just call him when he pulls up. She tells him she likes him. He tells her he likes her too. They kiss.And then she agrees to go to Tokyo with him.Naturally, the movie ends with more kissing.

The one, the only, Ginna Claire Mason (Moffet) joins the pod this week. Ginna Claire is a dear friend and actress. You may know her as Glinda from Broadway's Wicked or as a Hallmark movie favorite. We talk about how her early love of performing shaped the path that led her to Broadway, and what it's like stepping into such an iconic role. She also shares behind-the-scenes insight from her work in Hallmark films and the realities of balancing a demanding career with real life. Most meaningfully, how she stays grounded, prioritizes connection, and makes intentional space for her marriage in the middle of a full schedule.
