Podcast appearances and mentions of Louise Miller

Send us a textEver had a lazy Sunday nap interrupted by the universe demanding you watch an 80s teen movie? That's exactly what happened when "Teen Witch" unexpectedly appeared on my screen after a Dallas marathon, triggering both nostalgic recognition and bewildered fascination.This delightfully corny 1989 film follows Louise Miller, a shy redhead who discovers her magical powers on her 16th birthday. What unfolds is a perfect time capsule of 80s teen movie absurdity – the unpopular girl transformation, the hunky jock who doesn't notice her until she's suddenly "that girl," and fashion choices that scream Reagan-era excess. From popped collars to fishnet stockings with kitten heels, Louise's magical makeover embodies everything wonderfully ridiculous about 80s aesthetics.The film's philosophical questions prove surprisingly thought-provoking beneath its cheesy exterior. Does Brad truly like Louise for herself or just her magically-enhanced popularity? Can changing your external circumstances actually change how others perceive you? And what makes the infamous "Top That" rap battle so gloriously, transcendently bad that it achieves a kind of perfection?"Teen Witch" delivers everything we simultaneously love and hate about 80s teen cinema – the earnest commitment to unrealistic scenarios, the blurry line between camp and sincerity, and the absolute conviction that a new outfit and the right accessories can transform your entire social existence. Whether you're revisiting this gem or discovering it for the first time, it's a magical journey through a time when teen movies weren't afraid to be completely, unapologetically ridiculous.Notice something familiar about this movie but can't place where you've seen it? You're not alone – like many cult classics from this era, "Teen Witch" found new life through cable TV reruns, possibly even on Disney Channel with some of the more passionate scenes carefully edited out.

This week on the podcast I'm speaking with incredible productivity mentor, Louise Miller! We delved into the secrets behind maintaining sanity while launching multiple ventures, the critical importance of starting where you are, and the magic of focusing on the essentials.In this episode, Louise and I tackled various topics, from tackling the shiny object syndrome to creating a crystal-clear vision for your life and business. Here are just a few of the golden nuggets you'll discover:

Sarah Louise Miller – The Lancaster story: True Tales of Britain's Legendary Bomber...with TRE's Giles Brown

Jane and James interview Dr. Sarah Louise Miller about her new book on the Avro Lancaster, The Lancaster Story. They discuss the significance of the Lancaster in RAF Bomber Command during World War II and its cultural impact. They also explore the personal stories and experiences of those involved with the Lancaster, including ground crew and WAAFs. Sarah shares her research process and the new perspectives she brings to the history of the Lancaster.  The team discuss some of the lesser-known life-saving missions of the Lancaster, such as the MANNA and EXODUS operations, which are often overshadowed by the aircraft's destructive capabilities. They also highlight the vital role of the WAAF in supporting the Royal Air Force (RAF) and challenge the narrative that women were merely support workers. The conversation touches on the importance of representing women's contributions in historical narratives and the need for more accurate and inclusive storytelling. The guests also discuss the challenges and emotional impact of researching and writing about these topics, and Sarah talks about her new project, telling the story of Hawaiian women in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. KeywordsAvro Lancaster, RAF Bomber Command, World War II, cultural impact, personal stories, ground crew, WAAF, research process, new perspectives,  Women's Auxiliary Air Force, MANNA, EXODUS, , support workers, representation, historical narratives, challenges, emotional impactSend us a Text Message.The Family Histories PodcastJoin us and our guests as they reveal the fascinating lives of those in their family tree.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.Please subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

103 Doing nothing is the most productive thing you can do with Louise Miller | Ways to improve your productivity In this episode, Louise Miller, the productivity mentor, discusses her unique perspective on productivity and how it should be about creating space rather than cramming in more tasks. She emphasizes the importance of rest and taking breaks, challenging the notion that productivity is solely about doing more in less time. Louise also highlights the need to align productivity with personal values and regularly pause to reflect on goals and priorities. By slowing down and making intentional choices, individuals can achieve greater focus and fulfillment in their work.TakeawaysProductivity should be about creating space and rest, rather than cramming in more tasks.Taking regular pauses and reflecting on personal values can help align productivity with what is truly important.Slowing down and making intentional choices can lead to greater focus and fulfilment in work.Productivity is not solely about doing more in less time, but about doing what is important efficiently.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background01:07 Controversial Idea on Productivity02:56 Creating Space Instead of Cramming06:13 The Power of the Pause08:59 Balancing Productivity and Values12:09 Reflecting on ProductivityFind out more about Louise Miller and her work with productivity at https://www.bettylouonline.com/Patreon thanks!Shout out to the amazing Patron supporters for keeping this podcast going; thank you Ant Howe, Jasmine Barnes, Chloe Wilmot, Cheri Brenton, Steve McDermott, Rory Barnes!

Welcome to Episode 203! Some highlights of this episode: Emily dives into the pages of THE FROZEN RIVER by Ariel Lawhon and the delicious world of baking with THE COOKIE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE cookbook by Nancy Silverton and Carolynn Carreno. Meanwhile, Chris is back in high school with Jenna Miller's new sapphic YA romance, WE GOT THE BEAT. Emily devoured Elle Cosimano's new release, FINLAY DONOVAN ROLLS THE DICE, and was deeply moved by Suleika Jaouad's memoir BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS. She also read three short stories: "Itinerary" by Lucia Berlin in EVENING IN PARADISE and "Los Angeles" and "Office Hours" by Ling Ma in BLISS MONTAGE: Stories. Chris highly recommends the new and first biography of a once hugely popular woman writer, THE VANISHING OF CAROLYN WELLS by Rebecca Rego Barry. She also revisited ETHAN FROME before reading SUMMER by Edith Wharton. We also discuss INDIGO by Beverly Jenkins, our first-quarter readalong pick. A question for those of you who read it: do you think Hester's name could be a nod to Hester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter? In Biblio Adventures, Chris explored The Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Over On Ingredient One, Emily sat down with Louise Miller, author of THE CITY BAKER'S GUIDE TO COUNTRY LIVING AND THE LATE BLOOMER'S CLUB.

Summary: Pour yourself a mug of warm cider and snuggle under a blanket for this week's episode - we're hanging out in cabins in the woods! Is the wind outside a soothing background to a great makeout session or the cover for clomping feet coming to get us? One thing we're sure of - our hearts sure are racing whenever protagonists end up in rural cabins. Devin and Holly agree that while the outcomes of the stories in their respective wheelhouses differ, the allure is the same - isolated, cozy, and full of the unknown.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (2:31): Devin discussed The City Baker's Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller, a novel following Boston-based pastry chef Olivia Rawlings and she escapes a professional disaster by moving to a tiny Vermont town called Guthrie. Once there, she is hired to work at the Sugar Maple Inn by the owner, Margaret, who has her own apple-pie agenda, thrusting Livvy into a tiny community that makes a big impact on her life. Devin's key takeaways were: Livvy and the other characters in this novel all have their own ambitions, goals, and hang-ups. Some may seem silly on the surface (winning a pie baking contest) but are much more profound once you dig in. This story counteracts the assumptions we make about small towns and reminds us that community, whatever the size, makes us who we are. The descriptions of food in this novel are some of the best I've seen and rival Louise Penny. The sugar, the bread, the kitchen Livvy bakes in every morning and the way she approaches new recipes with us experiencing each ingredient makes this cozy novel delicious as well.  Vermont as the setting also amplifies the cozy happy energy of the story; there's line dancing, small bars, a tiny sugar cabin Livvy moves into that has a woodstove, so many blankets and smells of pine and nature. Every season described is idyllic and enjoyable, even aside from the plot!  The Dagger (16:37): Holly discussed In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt, a historical fiction suspense book set in colonial New England that follows a woman, Goody, who leaves her husband and son for the day to pick berries. She finds herself venturing deeper and deeper into the woods and stumbles upon a house - and much, much more. Holly's key takeaways were: This novel is lyrical but concise and reminded Holly of T.S. Elliott poems; the woods act as a symbol for freedom and dreams, for example. There's tension between the woods, where women can be wild and free, and fear of that from the uptight rules of religion and Goody's society.  The reader encounters many eerie and unknown things through this story; a deep well, a living ship made of human bones, butchering pigs, and “swallowing screams” are a short list. The setting in the woods and in rural cabins gives us a sense of creeping unknown and begs the question - are things what they seem?  A central theme of the story is womanhood and exploring the archetypes of being a woman; Hunt explores how women in history have been limited, abused, and subjugated to the rule of them through the guise of religion. Goody must break out of her traditional roles and learn to rely on the women she encounters who try to help; no one else will.  Hot On the Shelf (37:31): Holly: Linghun by Ai Jiang Devin: The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young What's Making Our Hearts Race (40:37): Holly: Lupin Part 3 on Netflix Devin: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse    Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

The conversation you are about to hear is taken from the event reasons and results.  Recorded between lockdowns in 2020, it was a journey from envisioning to implementing a project. We returned a few days ago after travelling south and being a tourist for a few weeks. There was the wife's ordination and a family celebration, meeting new people and connecting with friends. After loads of conversations, I was left with the feeling that people have great ideas, but the implementation always lets them down. Most of us (including myself because I have been there) will rush into a project and push like hell to get a result. Only to find that success does not follow. Find Your Productivity Superpower   So what if there was a calmer, more sustainable way of getting things done? That is where the productivity mentor Louise Miller and five pillars of productivity can help Louise is the founder of Bettylou a productivity mentoring service, she has a gift for helping people out of overwhelm by helping them create a path way through.  Louise is good with chaos and says there nothing is more fulfilling than turning something muddled into something beautifully clear. In this conversation you'll discover… the Five pillars of productivity. The unexpected first step to productivity greatness Your productivity super-power and how to harness it How to turn your big idea into inspired action Powerful habits to get stuff done with less stress and more ease   The show is 45 minutes and it will leave you with some powerful tools to get control of the chaos.  Side Note: We returned to Scotland with a combination of Colds and Covid. My voice and head was not up to editing a new show.   Next week we start the new season with 4 show on the topic of leadership.        Further details about this podcast along with my Guest's website and social links are all available at: https://lifepassionandbusiness.com/louise-miller-five-pillars-of-productivity/   Life Passion & Business is dedicated to exploring what it takes to be Extraordinary, to face challenges and rejoice in the opportunities they bring, and expand our vision into new ways of thinking and living.

Sarah Louise Miller – The women behind the few...with TRE's Giles Brown

The Women's Auxillary Air Force has a specific spot in the public's memory. Either as the headphoned women sat around the RAF's plotting tables or of Susannah York's Section Officer Maggie Harvey in the Battle of Britain film. But what was the reality? War historian Dr Sarah-Louise Miller joins us to discuss the WAAFs who are the subject of her new book, The Women Behind the Few: The Women's Auxiliary Air Force and British Intelligence During the Second World War. Sarah helps us to look beyond the one image that has been popularised and to see the incredible work these remark markable women accomplished and, quite literally, helped win the war.Full details of Sarah's book launch at Bletchley Park can be found on the Bletchley Park website here: https://bletchleypark.org.uk/event/the-women-behind-the-few/Buy Sarah's The Women Behind the Few: The Women's Auxiliary Air Force and British Intelligence During the Second World War at the Boney Abroad Pods Bookshop here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11015/9781785907852Check out Sarah's website here: https://www.sarah-louisemiller.com/ Follow Sarah on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/SarahLouMiller  Follow Sarah on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/dr_sarahloumiller/Visit our sponsor's website, the Pima Air and Space Museum, here: https://pimaair.org/Find out who is in the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame here: https://pimaair.org/about-us/arizona-aviation-hall-of-fame/Want to know how the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum is progressing?

Dr Sarah-Louise Miller is an experienced historian, researcher, author, educator and media consultant, specialising in Second World War history. Her book, The Women Behind the Few, explores the Second World War from the perspective of the WAAFs working behind the scenes to collect and disseminate vital intelligence – intelligence that resulted in Allied victory. In this episode, Sarah shares the story of what first piqued her interest in this period and delves into a couple of the heroic tales featured in the book, ultimately picking one encounter she would've loved to have been a fly on the wall at!

Hey there. Alyson here. And if you're anything like me… you've got bits and scraps of paper ALL over the place with ideas, notes, things to think about, research, wants, shopping reminders, and actual work-stuff that needs to be done to, you know… make profit.But if you're like me, you ALSO know that's not exactly sustainable, is it? And no matter how many tools, proven systems, processes… whatever! you try… they just… don't stick.That's why Louise Miller is here to talk to us about what to do when we want REAL productivity that lasts… and then she'll talk to us about the counterintuitive thing to do when we feel more overwhelmed than ever.See the full show notes and resources at https://systemtothrive.com/160.

Most of us are programmed to focus on making improvements for our weaknesses that we tend to forget to value what we are good at and what we love doing. What we think is productive can sometimes make us too exhausted and that holds us back from succeeding. In this episode, Louise Miller talks about compassionate, sustainable productivity and its five pillars. She also shares her experiences and some advice for people who are starting and growing their businesses.   Key takeaways from this episode: Productivity is about doing what's important, as efficiently as you can or as effectively as you can, to create space for what you love. When we take a break our brain can still process things in the background and come up with all the creative solutions to problems. When starting a business, a sustainable approach is to first know about yourself and to pay attention to what feels right for you. Give yourself space to think and plan when you are growing your business. Think about the freedom that getting help is going to give you and how you can then get playful and creative and do incredible things. The Five Pillars of Compassionate, Sustainable Productivity 1. Vision Having a vision is an important starting point to knowing what is important. 2. Goals The goals you set should be aligned with your visions and should motivate you. 3. Organization and Planning You should make sure that you have plans that will move you in the direction of your goals.  4. Awareness You should pay attention to how we are using our resources to get stuff done. 5. Habits Building supportive habits will set you up for success.   Episode Timeline: 00:04 Intro 01:22 Episode Intro 01:48 What help Louise Miller offers to business owners 03:00 How Louise ended up in her business 06:39 The society's idea of success 08:04 Louise's definition of compassionate, sustainable productivity 09:31 The five pillars of compassionate, sustainable productivity. 15:12 Valuing the things that we love doing 18:30 The overwhelming idea of having too many ideas 19:16 Planning in a flexible way 21:15 Advice for starting business owners. 22:34 Advice for people who are growing their business. 24:48 Give yourself permission to get help.  25:38 How to find more bout Louis. 26:21 Outro   About Our Guest: Louise Miller is the woman behind bettylouonline.com. She works with busy, successful business owners who want to run a fulfilling business without burning out. She helps them to get stuff done with less stress and more ease, so they can create space for the things they love.    Connect with Louise Miller here: Website: https://www.bettylouonline.com LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/louisemiller-bettylou Workbook: https://www.bettylouonline.com/inspiringwomen Book Recommendation: Be A Free Range Human by Marianne Cantwell https://www.beafreerangehuman.com   More about Ruth: Hi, I'm Ruth, a business coach specializing in helping freelancers and business owners adjust their mindset and their marketing so they can get fully booked with clients they LOVE to work with. I've helped hundreds of self-employed women achieve the time and money freedom they craved. I've started this podcast because when I first went all in and left the corporate world to be a freelancer, I was grateful for any work that came my way. After over 20 years of freelancing and working for other people, I started to realize I'd created a glass ceiling for myself. In 2017, I finally started listening to that voice that had been telling me for a long time that I wasn't doing what I loved and fulfilling my true potential.  It took a critical illness to give me that wake-up call.  I don't want the same to happen to you. You can expect practical advice, inspiring stories, and a lot of aha moments as we uncover and kick to the curb all the obstacles you have been putting in your way. I'm on a mission to inspire women to start and play bigger in business.   Connect and know more about Ruth here: Coaching: https://www.ruthgilbey.com/coaching Free stuff: https://www.ruthgilbey.com/the-sold-out-solution-2022  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ruthgilbeymarketingandcoaching/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ruth_gilbey/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthgilbey/    

In this episode of Make It Real Trisha talks with Louise Miller who is a productivity coach and creator or calm clarity. The emphasis is on being organised in order to free up time rather than cram it full - Louise believes in 'slow living'. There isn't a hint of 'one size fits all' thinking behind her approach - and it is very realistic.   In the podcast you will learn:   5 Pillars of Productivity The danger of distractions Methods of planning - beyond a 'To Do List' How not to be hard on yourself The importance of knowing why you are doing things!   Make It Real is the refreshingly real and really useful podcast for small business owners who are keen to learn from others but deliver with their own stamp and soul.  This show, hosted by the forensic ‘unsquasher' of impact and confidence - Trisha Lewis - will equip and inspire listeners to show up and share - with fearless joy.    Described as being like ‘sitting down for a natter and a cuppa with a pal' - Trisha's enthusiasm, curiosity and easy on the ears voice will pull you in - and her ability to pick fascinating guests and get the very best out of them - inspiring! There is natural humour and plenty of lightbulb moments that ping in real time.  For more information about this week's episode, head to https://trishalewis.com/podcast/

“Asking open questions is really important. We quite often hide the answer in the question. So we're leading somebody with our questions. So really asking why and what and who, and how, all of those things … They get the individual thinking about the answer in more detail.” Great advice from this week's guest mentor Louise Miller who shares with us the importance of: - Both on the job experience and certifications in our finance careers - Having an opinion when analysing data - Taking a forward-looking perspective - Digitalization and investments Check out sitnshow.com/ for detailed time stamped show notes, transcripts, links to resources and more guest mentor episodes and Monday Memos. #financementor #financecareer

You probably have a list of reminders somewhere. Maybe you have a calendar with important dates marked. And likely a mental to-do list. And shopping lists. And gift ideas. And you’ve got to remember to get your taxes filed. And don’t forget to get those prescriptions filled before the drug store closes. And you’ve got to renew your insurance, and …There’s a lot of information to juggle in modern life. In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at ways to improve reminders and reduce forgetting around things like voting, vaccinations, and international espionage.Sarah-Louise Miller is a doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. Sarah-Louise tells the story of Elizabeth Reynolds (a.k.a. Elizabeth “Minnie” Devereux-Rochester), a young courier operating behind enemy lines in France during the Second World War. Elizabeth’s ability to absorb and memorize information contributed greatly to the Allied war effort and may very well have saved her life.You’ll also hear from former Australian Secret Intelligence Service agent Warren Reed. He details the intensive memory training he encountered at MI6 and explains how memorization is key to an agent’s success and survival.Warren Reed is the author of several books on espionage. His latest is An Elephant On Your Nose.Next, Todd Rogers joins Katy to talk about research that addresses memory, forgetting, and reminders. Forgetting and “flaking out” on virtuous goals such as eating healthy, going to the gym, or voting is a major problem with negative consequences for individuals and communities. But with some subtle shifts in choice architecture, forgetting can be significantly reduced. Todd Rogers is a behavioral scientist and professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. His research paper with Kay Milkman is titled Reminders Through Association.Finally, Angela Duckworth explains how planning prompts or implementation intentions can be used by everyone, including school-aged children, to improve follow-through on goals.Angela Duckworth is professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

“The efficiency of the RAF was maintained and often increased [in WW2] because of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, especially in helping to win the Battle of Britain.” In this special episode, celebrating International Women’s Day 2021, we speak to Sarah-Louise Miller, a doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies, about her research on the incredible intelligence work conducted by the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAF) during WW2, and how their work set a precedence for women’s roles in security and intelligence going forwards. We discuss why their efforts behind integral successful RAF operations, which contributed to the overall Allied war victory, remain hidden even up until today, the outstanding bravery they showed in the face of danger and how they survived and thrived in a ‘man’s world’ despite the highly repressive gender norms of the time.

At the end of last year we hosted a virtual book party in the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club to celebrate our favorite books of the year. The whole What Should I Read Next and Modern Mrs Darcy teams shared their top books of 2020 and we all walked away with a longer To Be Read list.Our team is made up of a bunch of bookworms with very different reading tastes, but that doesn’t stop us from swapping book recommendations all the time. We recorded that event (as we do with all of our Book Club events), and WSIRN producer Brenna worked her editing magic to create this episode for you.Head to our website to see the list of everyone's recommendations.If you’d like to see us talk about these books, the video recording of this event is available in the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club, our member community devoted to bookish community, classes, and conversation. In addition to events like these and classes on the reading life, every month we read one main book together and meet to discuss it on video—often with the author—including recent book club discussions with Anne Mah, Elizabeth Acevedo, Tayari Jones. Join today to catch up on all of our past events and to participate in our upcoming live discussion with author Louise Miller or our next class Clean Out the Bookish Clutter.Thanks to our sponsors:Betabrand Dress Pant Yoga Pants look like stylish dress pants, but they’re super comfortable - without any zippers or buttons that dig in.

Louise Miller helps busy, heart-led solopreneurs get stuff done with less stress and more ease. She gently introduces them to compassionate, sustainable productivity so they can land their brilliant ideas in reality and grow a fulfilling business and create space for what they love. Louise’s experience of work-related stress and anxiety towards the end of her successful 15-year career in administration and management led her to develop a slower, more mindful approach to getting things done. She helps her clients get their great ideas out of their head, notebooks and scribbles and into reality so they can have fun in their business again. [Tweet ""My new definition of productivity is that it's about doing what's important as efficiently as we can so that we can create space for the things we love" - Louise Miller #gentlebusinessrevolution #gentlemarketing #productivity"] In this episode you'll learn more about the new (and best) way to define productivity as well as: Why a new, kinder definition of productivity could help you get stuff done with less stress and more ease Why it’s important to take a holistic approach to getting things done (and what’s at risk if you don’t) What you need to let go of to find your productivity flow Four simple steps to stop wasting time, get stuff done and reach your goals Much more!

Scroll down for Contact details and/or Links regarding this Podcast Support this Podcast How productive are you? Do you get stuff done? I have waves of ninja activity and days when it is just not happening. For me, it is all about accountability, so I have partners to hold me to this, or I make a public declaration that holds me to it. I even offer accountability to support in my coaching so that others feel held in achieving their goals. Some people find organization and productivity easy, others struggle. Thankfully in this world we are all different, which keeps it interesting, What comes easy to some is almost impossible to others. Of course, in a world of home working and restrictions, mindset implementation and productivity is a huge issue for many people. There is also a flip side to this conversation; people who are so driven that they drive themselves into overwhelm. That is the story behind my guest on today’s show. Louise Miller, the productivity mentor could always organise, even as a child she had a tidy bedroom. Efficiency has always been her thing. “My Degree is in Reading and Colouring In.” On leaving University, with a degree in English and Fine Art, her career path was unclear. But those organizational skills came in handy, and she became an administrator. She excelled to the point of promotion into management roles. It was then that she discovered how unique her skill set was, as managing disorganized people is not so easy and often stressful. Also, as an efficient and effective manager, more work ends up on your desk. There is truth in the phrase if you want something done ask a busy person. Louise’s had a successful 15-year career in administration and management until work-related stress and anxiety lead to a near breakdown. It finally dawned on her that being that efficient and productive in an organisation is not always good for your health. Our conversation is the story from almost total breakdown, to recovery and then on to soul searching discovery. Louise now supports overwhelmed business owners to reach compassionate, sustainable productivity. It is her mission is to help others land their brilliant ideas in reality, grow a fulfilling business and create space for what they love doing. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Louise Miller.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Welcome to our spooky Halloween special that's not really that spooky at all - Louise Miller, the Teen Witch in question, is pretty much the antithesis of terrifying Nancy from The Craft. She's just a nice girl in cosy sweaters who wants to make the captain of the football team fall in love with her. Who can relate?! Bonus content: Heather raps.

This week we're doing a deep dive on the 1989 classic Teen Witch. "Frumpy" "nerd" Louise Miller learns that she'll gain witchy powers on her 16th birthday. Instead of using her powers to affect positive change, she uses them to get a new wardrobe, become popular, and win the heart of a 38 year old teen named Brad. Do her powers come with great responsibility? Does she learn a valuable lesson? No. But who cares about all that because the real reason we're all here is for that incredible "rap" battle in the middle of the movie. TOP THAT!

Amanda and Jenn discuss characters with social anxiety, “intellectual angst,” gothic thrillers, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Delicacy by David Foenkinos, translated by Bruce Benderson (rec’d by Catleen) The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller (rec’d by Heather) Abby Jimenez’s The Friend Zone & The Happy Ever After Playlist (rec’d by Nicole) Questions 1. I am in a book club with some friends where half of them fall under the conservative Republican camp while the other half fall under the liberal Democrat camp (like me).   As someone who believes in climate change, women’s rights and the need for radical change in systemic racism, I really want to suggest a book that this whole group can read together and that will help shift the mindset of the more conservative members. I am not trying to force them into becoming liberals. I am looking for them to be more open to the possibility of climate change and that racism not only happens at an individual level, but on a systemic one. (Note, we are a group of Asian-American women, so we are POC but our political views range widely.)   To have them be more receptive to my book suggestion, I am looking for books that won’t turn them off or are too out of their comfort zone (i.e., Hood Feminism, Stamped from the Beginning, etc.). So, I’m thinking of fiction books that are compelling but not too serious. Hoping these books will allow them to really empathize with characters that live beyond their world and/or imagine a world where Fox News isn’t the only source of truth.   For reference, past books we’ve read include Little Fires Everywhere and Miracle Creek. We are currently reading Dear Girls by Ali Wong. As you can see, we don’t read any controversial books and generally like popular fiction.    I’m pretty stuck on what to choose, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks so much, -Helen 2. So about a year and a half ago I moved to a new city. I’ve always considered myself a decently social and outgoing person, but since I moved I’ve struggled with some social anxiety. I think the continuous meeting of new people and re-figuring out how to connect with new people was very overwhelming, and at times I’ve felt like I was failing. I’m looking for a book where I can connect to the characters or writers on the basis of social anxiety. I’m imagining connecting to the main character and watching them grow/overcome their anxiety throughout the novel. Although I prefer fiction, I’m open to anything. Thanks! -Emily 3. So this is an oddly specific request. I just finished The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides and was just enthralled the whole way through. I loved what the New Yorker called the characters’ “intellectual angst” and was entranced with the unique, complex relationships between these three characters. Looking for read a-likes that feel the same as this one. In other words books that involve urban intellectuals in their twenties figuring out life and love and intimacy, where the relationships and dynamics are almost a character within themselves and maybe the whole plot (haha). I also liked how this novel and the relationships in it were very nuanced, not your standard cheesy romance. Other books I’ve enjoyed that scratch this same itch are Normal People, Conversations With Friends, The Idiot (Elif Batuman) and One Day. Thanks! -Emily 4. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but things are kind of terrible right now. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve become interested in the lives of everyday people during ongoing difficult times in history, such as the Blitz in England, the troubles in Northern Ireland, and other places and times throughout history. I’m looking for a book to recommend for my book club that addresses this. Due to the nature of my question, I won’t ask for something that isn’t scary, but none of us is a fan of gore or children and animals in danger. Fiction or nonfiction are both welcome.    Also, let me be the millionth person to thank you for bringing Red, White, and Royal Blue into my life! I’m a DC local and it is exactly what I needed. I like remembering my city as it was before the MAGAs arrived.  -Rebecca 5. I absolutely love gothic thrillers that involve secretly badass women. Favorites include We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson , Rebecca By Daphne du Maurier and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. I’m looking to find more books in this genre as we enter Halloween season! I prefer writing that is literary, but accessible. The book can be contemporary as long as it has some kind of gothic feel to it. Bonus points if it features a creepy old house! -Kate 6. Love the show! My sister and I are both really into YA fantasy, but we’ve been looking for some lighter reads in the genre and have come up pretty empty. It seems as if every YA fantasy book deals with heavy subjects, and are dark and intense. Romance is a must, but doesn’t have to be the main storyline. Thanks! -Liza 7. Hi Jen and Amanda,   I am in a reading funk and I am looking for cozy, fun reads that are dramatic but nothing really awful happens.   Something Harry Potter reminiscent would be great. Magic, fantastical elements, maybe even royalty, without the Game of Thrones gore.   I also loved Storied Life of AJ Fikry, so something about books or love of books might be fun.   Thanks so much.  -Maymuna Books Discussed Humankind by Rutger Bregman, transl. by Elizabeth Manton and Erica Moore When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer Modern Lovers by Emma Straub Blood at the Root by Patrick Phillips Mighty Be Our Powers by Leymah Gbowee with Carol Mithers (tw: domestic abuse) Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman Magnolia Sword by Sherry Thomas Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Louise shares how she helps business owners get stuff done with less stress and more ease, not so they can cram more and more ‘doing’ into their days, but so to create space for the things they love.   What areas might be stopping you from being your best, most natural leader? Check-out the 10 Hidden Growth Opportunities for Top Leaders: visit www.QuizLeaders.com   Key Takeaways: “Hone in one goal in particular, rather than trying to think about it all. What's one thing that you want to do something big and scary, pick that one goal and then just get really granular with it..” – Louise Miller “The minute they [clients] come up against something that's slightly outside of their comfort zone that feels a little bit sticky and tricky. They give up and move on. They'll want to move on to something else that feels like more fun because those pieces are not in their flow.”– Louise Miller “Think what is the first smallest, tiniest step you can do to move forward. ” – Louise Miller   Valuable Free Resource (VFR): A Powerful Planning Workbook for Small Business Owners with Big Ambition Visit: https://www.bettylouonline.com/audaciousleaders   Ways to Contact Louise Miller: Website: https://www.bettylouonline.com/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisemiller-bettylou/

Winston Churchill once inferred we should never waste a good crisis. The current Novo Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is one we’re currently living through, there have been more regional crises before this and there’s also others down the road like climate change, oil wars, Brexit that will continue to present continuity challenges around keeping our businesses open and essential services running. In this week’s episode we are joined on #sitn by three panelists, Howard Cosby, Louise Miller & Mike Attwood who have a combined experience of over 100 years in finance & business to help us debate how we can keep our businesses open & services going during this crisis. We discuss: - Why the finance community has to be at the forefront of this. - Some golden rules on how to manage through a crisis - The importance of Communicate, Communicate, Communicate! - Leveraging value capture and cost minimisation approaches to turn negatives into positives. - The most important things we can do to emerge stronger from a crisis.

Season 6 coming in hot!  After some feedback and lots of questions about slow living in the time of Covid-19, Brooke and Ben decided to bring forward the new season. There are so many ways  slow living might be able to help as we all adjust to the weirdness of isolation, but even more importantly as we all start to think about what we'd like our 'new normal' to look like on the other side of it. So that's what Season 6 is going to focus on, and it will be full of practical advice, realistic suggestions and hopefully helpful strategies to navigate the world during a pandemic.  In today’s episode Brooke speaks with Louise Miller, a productivity coach who doesn't believe in productivity for productivity's sake. They discuss the ins and outs of working from home, with lots of tools and strategies for those of you who are very new to the remote working scene.   Louise shares her insights on:  The importance of grace and compassion right now as everyone navigates this new reality Why creating 'Ta Da' lists instead of 'To Do' lists is one powerful way of finding satisfaction in our work efforts - particularly on those days where we feel we're not doing enough Why the loss of your commute might be affecting you more than you think  How installing a buffer in to your daily rhythm can help create grace and compassion amidst the stress and worry Why 'slow productivity' gets such a bad rap and why she's such a big fan of it Looking for more Slow?

This week I had fun talking to Louise Miller, a productivity mentor, about the systems she uses in her business to make it work better.

You know his gift for songwriting from his hits with bands like The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive, but have you ever heard Randy Bachman tell a story? He's sharing some fascinating tales with us about the history of rock and his place in it.

We made it through Rocktober and there's only one way to top that - the spiritual successor to Teen Wolf, 1989's charming TEEN WITCH! While not all of the hosts may have had fun watching this one, at least one of them found a wellspring of joy in the magical escapades of the bookworm-turned-babe Louise Miller as she gains the power to turn frogs into sex slaves for Zelda Rubinstein, send date rapists to the Negative Zone, and bum denim jackets off of pop singers. Did we mention the multiple spontaneous dance numbers? Well now you know, so sit back and practice your "school sucks" raps, because it's Halloween on Horror Movie Night!This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Meredith and Kaytee are back in your earbuds for more bookish chat.   You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us – something readerly in our lives that we want to highlight, and a few of the books we’ve finished reading lately. Then we’ll chat about what’s next up on the TBR pile. This episode we truly begin to show our love for middle-grade fiction. We hadn’t planned it this way, but we recommend a plethora of fantastic titles for your kids - or for the lover of kit lit in you. Next, we both divulge our worst bookish habits, and chat a little bit about how we try to “combat” those habits.  We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to put into every reader’s hands: something that has consistently ranked on our favorites list or been well-beloved by the people in our lives that we’ve convinced to read it. Perhaps it will become one of your favorites as well.   Time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book we mentioned in this episode.

Recorded in June 2017

This is a story of the importance of family and community and how romance can find us when we least expect it.

January 11, 2017 at the Boston Athenæum. Join pastry chef and author Louise Miller for a discussion about her writing process and research, as well as a reading from her debut novel, A City Baker’s Guide to Country Living. When Olivia Rawlings—pastry chef extraordinaire for an exclusive Boston dinner club—sets not just her flambéed dessert but the entire building alight, she escapes to the most comforting place she can think of—the idyllic town of Guthrie, Vermont, and her best friend Hannah. But the getaway turns into something more lasting when Margaret Hurley, the cantankerous owner of the Sugar Maple Inn, offers Livvy a job. Miller and her full-hearted story about a big-city baker who discovers the true meaning of home have been praised by the New York Times Book Review: “Miller elevates the story by turning it into a Pinterest fantasy of rural American…[Her] visions of bucolic Vermont landscapes, cinnamon-scented kitchens and small-town friendliness make this reverie of country life an appealing one.”

This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is joined by Louise Miller, writer, baker, banjo player, and author of The City Baker's Guide to Country Living, a full-hearted novel about a big-city baker who discovers the true meaning of home—and that sometimes the best things are found when you didn’t even know you were looking.
