Send us a textIn this episode we're chatting with none other than THE Penn Cole! Bestselling fantasy romance author of her debut series The Kindred's Curse Saga, also known as Spark, Glow, and Heat of the Everflame, with Burn of the Everflame on the way! Today's episode will be completely spoiler free aside from a potential 5 minute spoiler section at the end we'll warn you about, so even if you haven't read these books yet, or you haven't made it all the way through the series, you can stick around to chit chat with us, find out what you'll be getting into when you pick this series up, and get to know the author behind the story.Penn is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who has been writing her whole life but took a career detour as an attorney and small business owner. She's thrilled to finally be accomplishing her lifelong dream of becoming an author, and when she's not writing she's meeting and supporting others (especially women and BIPOC/LGBTQ+ authors) and reading fantasy, romcoms, and humorous non-fiction. We had the pleasure of meeting Penn at Romantasy Book Con this last February and also got to listen to her speak on several author panels! We were SO inspired by her ideas and input surrounding strong female characters and stories that center women's experiences that we immediately reached out for this interview. If you're curious to find out Penn Cole's take on what romantasy is doing for the book world, if it should be considered fantasy at all, why books that center female experiences and pleasure are often times minimized or infantilized, and why we relate so much to strong, badass heroines… stick around. We also discuss her writing process, inspiration, and what's coming next. This conversation gets deep, and we're so happy to share it with you! And don't worry… we have Penn's fave and fail all about Kindred's Curse and an on the spot smash or pass. Check out Penn Cole | https://www.penncole.com/ and on IG & TikTok @authorpenncoleDon't be shy, subscribe!

Send us a text"Ashley and Liz interview Chelsea Cole, food blogger and author of A Feast of Thorns and Roses: The Unofficial Cookbook of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Chelsea shares the inspiration behind her ACOTAR-themed cookbook, which creatively brings meals from the beloved fantasy series into real-life kitchens. She discusses her background in food blogging and her goal of making recipes accessible for all skill levels, noting that the book is designed not just for cooking but for fans to deepen their connection with the series. The cookbook features sections inspired by the different courts and characters, including desserts tied to each court and cocktails based on the inner circle. Chelsea also recounts the challenges of recipe development, especially while postpartum, and highlights the joy and community that came from sharing her fandom through food. The episode closes with heartfelt reflections on the power of nostalgia and how food can enrich the experience of revisiting favorite fantasy stories."Did you guys know that there is an unofficial ACOTAR Cookbook that walks even the most novice cooks and bakers through the process of cooking and creating classic recipes from our most cherished  A Court of Thorns & Roses book series?! Yes, it's real! And it's amazing! Today we're interviewing food blogger and cookbook author Chelsea Cole all about her brand new book A Feast of Thorns and Roses.Chelsea says that the idea for AFOTAR was born after her love for reading was reignited by a series where "meals are more than simply sustenance; they are expressions of culture, emotion, and connection. This cookbook is [her] attempt to bring those moments to your table, to let you feel the warmth of a simple meal shared in the cozy confines of a dinner with the Inner Circle or taste the richness of the Winter Solstice feast." And boy did we feel that when cooking her recipes! Check out Chelsea!Website: https://aducksoven.com/about/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chel.seacole?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Don't be shy, subscribe!

Dr. Nathan Regier, your host, welcomes Dr. Liz Wilson, a Behavioral Scientist, Organizational Transformation Expert, and founder of Include Inc. Originally from Australia, she is now based in the United States. She has developed a robust new framework that seeks to shift the focus of inclusion from a list of categories and identities to addressing the needs of all people.   Key Takeaways: [2:18] What are some of the formative moments along Dr. Liz's way that got her to where she is today? [5:45] Dr. Liz shares her unique perspective on inclusion. [7:42:] Dr. Liz created a framework called The Eight Inclusion Needs Model that accomplishes ‘transcend and include' (which involves compassion and accountability). [10:11] First need: Access. [10:24] Second need: Space. [11:06] Third need: Opportunity. [11:19] Fourth need: Representation. [11:40] Fifth need: Allowance. [12:28] Sixth need: Language. [12:53] Seventh need: Respect. [13:28] Eighth need: Support. [14:17]  Dr. Liz explains why this framework works more effectively than previous models for inclusion. [16:03]  What is the difference between understanding (and even appreciating differences) and inclusion? [17:47] What has been Dr. Liz's experience introducing her model for companies to implement? [21:06] Dr. Liz discusses the most significant struggles people encounter when practicing her framework for inclusion. [23:36] Dr. Liz has a mantra: Create psychological safety through your own transparency. [25:46] People often misunderstand vulnerability with weakness. [26:44] Dr. Liz unpacks the difference between understanding and caring. [31:15] What is Dr. Liz currently working on? [33:01] Check out Include Chat.   Mentioned in this episode: The Compassion Mindset Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results, Nate Regier Visit Next-Element   Tweetables: “You need to look at the whole person for inclusion.” #oncompassion   “We have not been doing inclusion; the focus was only on diversity.”  #oncompassion   “Inclusion is the ‘how', the behaviors that we demonstrate based on our awareness and understanding of diversity.” #oncompassion   “Practice this mantra: I create psychological safety through my own transparency.” #oncompassion   “Transparency and vulnerability is not about being weak; it is about being human.” #oncompassion

Today, we're joined by our first guests of 2024, LIZ WILSON, ALLISON OBERG, & AMANDA FISHER (a.k.a. the Stuff Talkers) to discuss 2023's mega-hit film, BARBIE! We discuss the film's impressive cast, it's feminist messaging, the featured music, the distinction between a boy's toy movie and a girl's toy movie, Greta Gerwig's Oscar snub for Best Director, the film's original Barbie actress, the visual effects of the movie, so much more! We also discuss the likely reason why dumb males don't like the movie, everyone's first experience with Barbie dolls, the surprising feminist undertones of the Transformers films, the proper way to pronounce "Chevy", laughter ruining office furniture, & a couple of Barbies call in to the podcast! —————————————————————— To see images of the stuff discussed, look at your device's screen while listening!
