New episode out now! We watched the little-known comedy mystery with a stacked cast Once Upon A Crime (1992). We cover how the film had a different plot than expected, decide that it took a long time to set up the actual mystery but thought it turned out well, felt it was often incredibly silly in a good way, and get into the full 1980s of it all, good and bad. We also talk about the various characters and how many of them seemed more like caricatures, think the actors all nailed the vibe, wondered how much improv was involved, and obviously loved the dog-heavy plot. Katy got her Belushis mixed up, Carrie did not think of cocaine at all, Maddy really wanted to gamble, and Mack explains things women do for fun. We also try to use Italian accents, fail to recognize a Napoleon reference, discuss what groups of straight men do for fun, and learn we are susceptible to a voicemail joke. Listen to hear more about mean olds, James Bond, Chicago Pope, great eyebrows, and a Vegas roulette story. And thank you to Jerome for the suggestion!

Writer and speaker Natalie Lue has noticed that people pleasing is often a response to anxiety.In this chat with Fearne, Natalie explains how when you desperately people please, you're putting your self-esteem on the chopping block. In becoming disassociated from your “no” you become disassociated from your needs, desires, opinions, and limits.Natalie talks through the five ways people pleasing might show up in your life, including ‘efforting' (e.g. over-achieving at school and work), and ‘saving' through trying to fix other people's problems. Plus, a word of warning that pushing past your mental and emotional limits can lead to physical health issues.Natalie's book, The Joy of Saying No, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Saying No: More Boundaries, Less People PleasingThe Good Girl Rebellion Hosted on Acast.

Hey Friend! You ever hit one of those moments where you realize, “Wait… how did I get here?” This episode was recorded during one of those seasons. When life felt loud, work was rewarding, but something felt off. It's raw, it's honest, and it's a reminder that even when we're walking in purpose, we can drift from what matters most. If you've felt out of alignment lately—or like your calendar isn't matching your convictions—I think this one will speak straight to your soul. Let's reset together.

     This week- two films featuring men abusing their positions of power and the fallout from it.     Miss Giddens is hired as a governess at Bly Manor. She is immediately taken with her young charge, Flora, and strikes an instant friendship with Mrs. Grose, the housekeeper. Despite the encouraging start, small moments of discomfort begin to poke at Miss Giddens new normal. When Miles is expelled from his boarding school, Miss Giddens finds herself caught up in the effects from the not too distant past. Based on one of the most influential horror tales ever written with a screenplay co-written by Truman Capote, taking a three week break from his magnum opus to work on it, and casting its own shadow nearly as long for itself- The Innocents.     Lillian founds a ballet company in the name of her late husband. Her ambulance-chasing attorney, Roland T. Flakfizer- assisted by associated   Rocco and Jacques, face off against the late husband's equally conniving lawyer, Edmundo Lazlo. The legal eagles compete to sign the world's greatest ballet dancer, "The Great" Volare, and to deliver an awe-inspiring Broadway debut for the new company. Inspired by the Marx Brothers, even being filmed at the same locations as several of their most beloved films, produced by David and Jerry Zucker, and fully embracing the "they don't make them like they used to" lifestyle- Brain Donors.     All that and Kevin enthuses, Dave forgot, and Tyler weeps in his Happy Place. Join us, won't you?   Episode 416- Synaptic Rotation

Hey Friend! This episode is more than just a moment of remembrance—it's an invitation to realignment.

Today, we pause to reflect on what kind of legacy we're living—and how to make sure it aligns with the calling God placed in us.

Hey Friend! Have you ever left a conversation thinking, “Why did I say it that way?” or “Why didn't I just say what I really meant?” The truth is, most communication breakdowns don't come from what's said—but from what's left unsaid or misunderstood beneath the surface. In this episode, we're unpacking how your core motivation (aka the driving force behind your words, reactions, and silence) can either strengthen or sabotage your relationships. Whether you're avoiding a hard conversation, trying too hard to be understood, or feeling overlooked, this conversation will give you language, self-awareness, and new ways to move forward with clarity and grace.

It's no secret that Tony Award-winning actress Annaleigh Ashford is a versatile force to be reckoned with! From her captivating performances on Broadway in 'Legally Blonde' and 'Wicked' to her current role on the small screen in the true crime drama "Happy Place," she's proven she can do it all! Act, sing, and dance, but did you know she's also good at impressions?Ever get together with a friend you're comfortable around, and you let loose and start making silly voices? That happens a lot when Annaleigh joins Sophia on the pod, and it's hilarious! Besides slipping into her 'puppet Judy Garland' character, the actress talks about her new series based on a real-life story and why it's different from other true crime drama shows, making the transition from stage to television, and why it's so easy to slip into people-pleasing mode on sets. Plus, she opens up about working alongside the late great James Earl Jones on the Broadway revival of "You Can't Take It With You" and the surprising request he made near the end of their show's run that taught her an unforgettable lesson!
