The Hills' Caroline D'Amore steps Behind The Rope. Once dubbed Hollywood “It” Girl in the early 2000s due to her BFFs Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, Caroline is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Caroline chats about The Kardashians, Kris Jenner, The Hills, The Simple Life and more. Caroline talks fellow cast mates Spencer and Heidi, her drama with The OC's Mischa Barton and more. As is often the case here Behind The Rope, all convo quickly leads to Housewives. Caroline breaks down her ties with Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton and RHOBH. Cue music, “Starring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window… Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in...The rest is still unwritten." @carolinedamore @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

There is one area of gratitude we don't talk about very often, and that's the kind we need to extend to ourselves. Just saying that out loud might make some of us a little uncomfortable, and dare I say it, feel as if it's ‘self-centered'. But – are you ready for this? Brace yourself, because I'm here to tell you—it's not. It's not selfish, prideful, or self-serving. Not in the least. Join me on the porch today as we talk about the value and importance of offering ourselves the grace of gratitude. It may just even be one of the most appreciated lessons you can learn.

Gratitude is a lot like a seed. You can hold it in your hand, admire its potential, and even carry it around with you - but until you plant it and tend to it, it doesn't really grow. And if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's this: if we want to grow grateful hearts in our children, we have to do more than tell them to say “thank you.” We have to show them what it means to live a thankful life. Listen in and find ways to help you cultivate gratitude in your child – and how it begins with you. Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

Nicole Richie turned 44 yesterday She is the star of "Simple Life" star and THIS legendary singer/songwriter's daughter.
We are very excited to welcome Prof. Lisa Dombrowski to our podcast! She is a Professor of Film Studies and East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University. She's the author of the books: The Films of Samuel Fuller: If You Die, I'll Kill You! (2008), the editor of Kazan Revisited (2011), and co-editor of ReFocus: The Later Works and Legacy of Robert Altman (2022). (Ben worked on that last one!) We took Lisa's fantastic film classes and she's a big reason this podcast exists, and why we talk about movies the way we do. (You can read more about the podcast's origin story on Patreon!) Together, we preview a newly restored film showing at the upcoming New York Film Festival and M+ Restored programmes, T'ang Shushuen's The Arch, which Lisa teaches in her classes. Lisa shares with us the film's unconventional transnational production context, and we have an in-depth discussion about the film's groundbreaking use of film form to portray female subjectivity. Eli highlights the film's use of deep staging, Wilson compares the film with Ann Hui's A Simple Life (2011), and Ben explains what he means by an “oyako-don” pantheon.Links:Read more about and get tickets for the M+ Restored programmeScreening in NYC for NYFF at Film at Lincoln CenterObey your ancestors at our FREE patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.com Timestamps:00:01:36 Introducing Prof. Lisa Dombrowski00:06:48 M+ Restored00:09:39 Context on director Tang Shu-shuen and The Arch00:11:16 Lisa's relationship with The Arch00:17:16 General reactions00:23:30 Adaptation and subjectivity00:26:06 Subtitles00:28:06 Female gaze and melodramatic situation00:30:28 The opening setup00:33:28 Cinematography context00:40:28 Love triangle and deep staging00:43:34 Plum scene00:52:37 Source material00:55:28 Cultural context and societal norms01:00:04 River scene and Mid-Autumn Festival01:03:39 A Simple Life (2011) sidebar, subjective realism01:07:25 Confucianism and social conditioning01:10:29 Loom scene01:13:04 Editing for meaning01:16:32 The arch, the ending, the takeaway01:24:57 Fractured images and liminal spaces01:30:15 Lisa Lu and casting01:31:32 The film's reception01:33:56 Tang's approach01:39:03 Cultural identity, transnational cinema, aesthetic expectations01:43:32 Tang's career post The Arch01:46:05 Outro
When we think about gratitude, we usually picture quiet moments - those still, peaceful pauses where we reflect and give thanks. But that's just one facet of the glittering gem we call ‘gratitude'. In this podcast, we'll take a look at gratitude from another angle. Not the kind that stays tucked neatly in your heart or scribbled in a journal, but the kind that moves. The kind that rolls up its sleeves, steps outside the door, and says, “How can I show my thanks right here, right now, in this community I call home?”Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

What would your life look like if you embraced less, but gained more? In this one-on-one conversation, Kelly and Lauren explore the idea of “The Pursuit of Less But More.” Together, they reflect on the areas of life where simplifying has brought them greater meaning, such as less mental clutter and more peace, and the places where excess has come at a cost, like too much work and less time with loved ones. They also discuss the hidden toll of “more but less,” from overconsumption to burnout, and share what their recent summer experiences have taught them about the importance of slowing down. Plus, you will learn about their personal routines that help keep them aligned with minimalism, the lifestyle boundaries that have given them the greatest returns, and the areas they each hope to simplify further this year. Be inspired to rethink what “more” means to you and to design a life built around clarity, balance, and intention.

In this second part of last week's discussion, you will continue to learn about anxiety and be inspired to ease your feelings by paying closer attention to them. Kelly speaks with fellow Canadian minimalist, spoken word artist, musician, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher, the incredibly insightful Humble the Poet, to share insights from his latest book, Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. As Humble shared in the first half of their discussion, anxiety isn't something we should try to eliminate, but something we should get curious about. In this second half, Humble explains how anxiety can also show up in positive moments, and how learning to sit with our feelings can build lasting resilience. Together, they explore how removing external stimulants can lower our baseline anxiety, and how recognizing our emotional triggers — including those rooted in childhood — can reveal where the real work lies. They also walk through relatable, everyday anxiety-inducing scenarios and share practical tools — from setting boundaries with ourselves and others to intentionally doing small, uncomfortable things to build emotional strength. Be inspired to see anxiety as a natural human signal, and feel motivated to improve your relationship with it so you can transform your life for the better.
