Episode Description In this episode of What If? For Authors, Claire addresses a common problem for writers: what if the central romance just isn't working? Whether you're writing a romance, mystery, fantasy, women's fiction, romantic suspense, or another genre with a romantic subplot, a weak central romance can leave an entire story falling flat. Claire walks us through troubleshooting the relationship using the Enneagram, looking at the characters' personalities, points of connection, and their different approaches to conflict. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why both characters need to be fully developed, rather than treating one as a stock love interest How assigning Enneagram types can reveal unexpected character inconsistencies How similarities and differences between Enneagram types create connection and conflict What Enneagram "polarity" can teach you about romantic tension The three Enneagram conflict styles: avoidant, methodical, and reactive Why pairing two avoidant characters can make an enemies-to-lovers romance especially difficult Why reactive types can bring explosive chemistry, but potentially too much heat How your characters' conflict styles can help you anticipate breakups, reunions, and apologies How your own conflict style as an author might be influencing the way you're troubleshooting your romance Resources Mentioned Write Iconic Relationships Kickstarter Claire's upcoming book explores the dynamics between different Enneagram types and how those relationships can be used to create compelling enemies, friendships, romances, and more. The Kickstarter launches August 25 and runs through September 10. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ffsmedia/write-iconic-relationships Write Iconic Characters books2read.com/WIC Liberated Writer (Coaching & Courses) liberatedwriter.com Liberated Writer Substack liberatedwriter.substack.com Support the Show If this episode gave you something to reflect on, here are a few ways to support the podcast: Leave a review on your favorite platform - it helps other authors find the show.

Has romance died, or are we just looking for it in the wrong places? In this heartwarming and insightful episode, Kameran sits down with Ash Fox, founder of Ash Fox Proposals and a pioneer in the proposal planning industry, to dissect why classical romance feels missing in modern dating and how intentional gestures shape long-term relationship success.Having orchestrated over 3,000 proposals across 15 years, Ash shares what men at their best look like when devoted to their partners, the shift in grand gestures over the past decade, and her own brand-new proposal story after years of being on the other side of the lens! Kameran and Ash dive into the vital roles of being a "giver" and a "receiver," how to keep the momentum going after the ring, and why "re-proposing" might just be the exact spark a long-term marriage needs to start a fresh, beautiful chapter.Key Takeaways:Beyond the Media Cynicism: How romantic comedies left us, but real-life romance is thriving beneath the surface.Actions Over Words: Why a high-stakes proposal isn't about being "cookie-cutter", it's about seeing your partner and honoring who they truly are.Learning to Receive: Why being open, grateful, and receptive is just as critical to romance as the person doing the planning (and how it impacts intimacy/dead bedrooms).The "Love Bank": How cataloging core romantic memories acts as a vital nutrient you draw on during challenging marriage seasons.Why Re-Proposing Works: How long-term couples (15, 20+ years in) use a second proposal or ring upgrade to rededicate their love and reset after tough seasons or separations.The Spec Sheet Hack: Simple, actionable advice for staying curious and keeping an updated record of your spouse's evolving tastes, sizes, and favorite things.Connect & Resources:Guest: Ash FoxWebsite: ashfoxproposals.comInstagram: @ashfoxproposalsTikTok: @ashfoxproposalsPodcast: The Proposal PodcastHost: Kameran Alareqi | Marriage & Relationship CoachIG: www.instagram.com/married.and.connectedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@marriedandconnectedJoin my Skool CommunityBuy my book- Connected To Me: The Blueprint: https://a.co/d/0a3d2hPxSubstack: https://substack.com/@marriedandconnectedWebsite: www.recognizingpotential.comSupport the show

When a first date between a doomsday prepper and a nerdy film professor goes horribly, zombie-apocalypse-level wrong, the mismatched pair team up on a road trip to safety in this delightfully feral rom-com. 'Doomsdate' is the latest from Laura Piper Lee, and we were so excited to have her on the podcast, not long after her recent visit to Love & Other Books! Laura is super charming, definitely irreverent, very down-to-earth, and occasionally PG-13 with her language, which made for a hoot of an episode. You don't want to miss it, because we talk about quite a piquant variety of topics, most of which are covered in her excellent rom-com novels!  https://www.laurapiperlee.com/

One of the most fascinating things I've learned about in conducting interviews are how top awards can end up meaning -- nothing.Think back -- can you name who won the Oscar for best documentary short five years ago? Two years ago?So often, it doesn't show a noticeable trajectory change in the filmmakers' careers. That's not true of my guest today, Orlando von Einsiedel, whose film, THE CYCLE OF LOVE (2025) opened in New York on August 28th and later in September for the rest of the country, has continually built on his success through taking on larger projects.In the last 16 years, he's directed or produced at least 31 shows and series, an incredible workflow that speaks both to his work ethic and the value of awards (maybe?).It's hard to tell whether the latter part mattered. What we can say is his filmmaking is sincerely moving, and I'm so glad to see him tackle evermore ambitious topics like THE CYCLE OF LOVE.In this episode, Orlando and I talk about:he's won Oscars and opened at top festivals; is there's an achievement out there that he's aiming for in filmmaking?;his description of THE CYCLE OF LOVE;the decision to incorporate mostly reenactments into the film and where he drew the line between "how it feels" and what actually happened;how EVELYN (2018) helped make THE CYCLE OF LOVE happen the way it did;how he went from snowboarding into filmmakingthe ways in which awards enabled his climb and how documentary filmmakers should view them;the role of EPs for documentary filmmakers;the value proposition of his production company, Grain Media, and how he'll use crowdfunding if it's the path for a particular film;the theatrical prospects for this film and the landscape for documentary filmmakers;what's next for him.Memorable Quotes:" Every story, every film we make, I just want people, audiences to connect with it."" The challenge was there was very little archive footage from PK's journey, and and normally that is what kills a documentary in its tracks."" I don't think anyone should start a film project thinking about awards."" It doesn't matter how experienced you are, it doesn't matter how many awards you've won, every project needs a different path."Links:Follow Orlando On InstagramGrain Media's Website

Ben says there was a method behind his first-date movie choice. Ashley says that "method" is exactly why there won't be another one. What seemed like a normal horror movie date was apparently part of a much bigger plan that she knew NOTHING about.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're diving into an absolutely wild romance scam involving a man accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver—or, depending on the day, an ultra-wealthy Swiss real estate mogul. Authorities say the four-year scheme targeted at least 26 women and brought in roughly $1.3 million. Apparently dating apps weren't stressful enough already.The details only get crazier. The alleged scam included social media accounts packed with 49ers gear, luxury cars and images designed to make the whole thing look legitimate. According to the story discussed on the show, some of the online material was AI-generated, and the fake identity became established enough online that search engines and AI tools reportedly started treating the guy like an actual football player.Then comes the fake wealth. Screenshots supposedly showed bank and investment accounts containing millions of dollars, and once relationships were established, an alleged accomplice would enter the picture as the “wealth manager.” Three-way calls, fake investment returns and promises of high-yield opportunities followed. When victims ran out of money or started asking questions? Suddenly their extremely successful NFL boyfriend became extremely unavailable.It launches the crew into a bigger conversation about romance scams, our weird relationship with wealth and just how easy it has become to manufacture an impressive-looking life online. Rafe points out that you barely need a real podcast anymore—you can film yourself in front of a microphone, dispense some motivational nonsense and convince the internet you've appeared on 400 episodes of something called The Alpha Wealth Mindset Experience.Okay, we made that title up. But you've absolutely seen that guy.Listeners pile on with stories of fake celebrities allegedly trying to scam people, including Martina McBride and Mark Harmon impersonators. If Mark Harmon suddenly slides into Mom's Facebook messages and needs $700 in gift cards, maybe call somebody.That's the kind of public service you only get from a funny podcast with absolutely no qualifications to provide public services.The show also tackles the old belief that celebrity deaths happen in threes and why our brains are so desperate to find patterns in random events.From there, we discover Goodwill is getting into the record-store business with a media-focused concept called Rewind. Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, VHS tapes, vintage audio gear and whatever forgotten three-disc CD changer somebody's mom finally convinced Dad to get out of the basement. It might be heaven. It might smell like somebody else's basement. Either way, we're interested.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where things get wonderfully messy.The crew gets into music and entertainment news, including Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields Festival, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks. That naturally becomes a debate over “Landslide,” including Lern's discovery that apparently nothing evacuates a Colorado bar faster than putting it on the jukebox.There's also Scott Weiland material headed for release, more Korn vinyl reissues, Limp Bizkit joining Spotify's billion-stream club and the continuing realization that the music of our youth is now getting 30th-anniversary editions. Awesome. Love having time itself personally attack us.Elsewhere, an 85-year-old Donna Mills is reportedly making serious money on OnlyFans without full nudity, which sends Rafe into an impromptu financial analysis of the subscription business model. This is technically economics if nobody from an accredited university is listening.The entertainment chaos continues with Coyote vs. Acme, a creepy movie called Buddy that basically asks what would happen if a beloved children's mascot completely snapped, and news of Tom Cruise returning as Cole Trickle for a Days of Thunder sequel alongside Anne Hathaway.The crew also discovers a movie about the creation of Hooters is in development, accidentally invents an entirely different restaurant concept during the conversation, and immediately starts yelling “trademark” because apparently that's how intellectual property law works now.Finally, we get famous musicians trashing other famous musicians. Jack White versus The Black Keys. Madonna versus Lady Gaga. Elton John versus Madonna. Kurt Cobain versus seemingly everybody. Courtney Love versus Taylor Swift. Nick Cave versus the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Usher telling T-Pain that Auto-Tune messed up music.Nothing brings people together quite like extremely successful artists explaining why other extremely successful artists are terrible.Fake NFL stars. AI-generated lifestyles. Romance scams. KISS Army business. Celebrity impostors. Vinyl nostalgia. Music feuds. OnlyFans economics. Tom Cruise going racing again. And an alarming amount of discussion about Hooters.It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we examine the important stories of our time and then immediately ruin any chance of being taken seriously.Listen now, subscribe, and come back for more celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis humor and daily chaos from Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We learn what people think are the most romantic cities in the U.S. to go on a date, and we're just glad Vegas wasn't on the list. Sarah reveals the most disturbing fact Susie says we've ever learned on the show--it's a statistic about men's underwear and we are NOT OK (and clearly, neither are men). We find out about Matt Damon's (female!) stunt double, and why she is our badass bitch of the week. We hear what the secret is to being a "supermover" in old age, and we aspire! Sarah talks about her love of Thrifty Ice Cream, and how one business owner is keeping it alive. We hear how a group of students is solving cold cases and we discuss how some relatives of criminals like Charles Manson worry the evil acts of their family member might reflect on their own characters.00:00 - Brain Candy Club and Tombstone Philosophy02:06 - Keypad Installation and Appliance Woes11:52 - Unveiling America's Top Romantic Destinations18:01 - The Disturbing Truth About Men's Underwear Habits26:49 - Meet Devin Dalton, Matt Damon's Female Stunt Double29:26 - Simple Tests to Gauge Your Functional Fitness34:14 - The Unsung Heroines of Stunt Performance41:21 - How Fast Walking Boosts Brain Health in Old Age47:02 - The Surf Shop Keeping Thrifty Ice Cream Alive51:23 - Al's Job Impact and the Joy of Fidget Toys53:36 - High School Students Reignite Unsolved Murder Investigations56:51 - Exploring the Legacy of Charles Manson's Family01:02:44 - Final Thoughts and Community Engagement Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Go to https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandy for an exclusive offer of 20% off your first order.Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Why do we put so much effort into winning our spouse's heart while dating, only to slowly stop doing those same things once we're married?In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy sit down with marriage therapist Austin, LMFT, to talk about one of the most common traps couples fall into: getting comfortable and unintentionally stopping the pursuit.When you were dating, you probably made time for each other, planned dates, flirted, showed affection, listened closely, expressed appreciation, and looked for ways to make the other person feel wanted. But after marriage, careers, kids, responsibilities, stress, and everyday life can slowly take over. Before long, spouses can start feeling more like roommates than lovers.So what happens when we stop pursuing each other? And more importantly, how do we start again?Nick, Amy, and Austin discuss why continuing to pursue your spouse is essential for emotional and sexual intimacy, how small efforts can make a huge difference, and why feeling wanted, chosen, and prioritized matters so much in a healthy marriage.You worked hard to win your spouse's heart. Don't stop pursuing it just because you already have it.

If you're writing an enemies to lovers romance, getting your characters from “I can't stand you” to “I love you” takes more than chemistry. Here's how to write enemies to lovers in a way that makes that turn feel convincing.The enemies to lovers trope is popular for a reason. The tension, banter, forced proximity, and slow shift from conflict to attraction can make for an incredibly satisfying romance. But it's harder to pull off than it looks, because readers have to believe two things at once: that these two characters genuinely are enemies, and that these same two characters could genuinely fall in love. That's why in this episode, I'm walking you through 10 tips for building an enemies to lovers romance that feels believable, while still keeping all the tension and friction that makes this trope so much fun. You'll hear me talk about things like:[03:49] What determines how much page space your romance gets, where its big turning points belong, and how tightly it ties to your plot. [08:07] Why forced proximity needs to do more than keep your characters together if you want the shift in their relationship to feel believable.[10:25] How falling in love with the other person can force your characters to confront beliefs and fears they might otherwise never question.[15:02] What creates that delicious tension when the reader can see the romantic possibility long before the characters are ready to admit it.[19:38] The test that can prove whether your enemies to lovers relationship has actually evolved—or if your characters are about to fall back into their old patterns.Whether enemies to lovers is your main romance or a romantic subplot in another genre, this episode will help you build the progression from conflict to love that makes readers believe these two unlikely characters belong together.
