We're taking a trip back in time this episode to do a deep dive on the classic fairy tale retelling, Ever After: A Cinderella Story. We consider what makes something a Cinderella story and how Ever After maps onto those criteria; our reactions to the main romance; and the tour de force performance that is Angelica Huston as the Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent.

Joined once again by our younger siblings, Erin and Akinde, we dive right into Sarah J Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury spoilers in part two of our discussion. To kick things off, we start with our complicated feelings on main character Feyre. We also ask the hard hitting questions, like: are these sex scenes sexy? Why is there so much growling? And what would actually happen if the wings of the Illyrians were really that sensitive? As a heads up for people who adore these books: we're not here to kill your vibe! Still, while we do appreciate a lot of what Maas is doing, as well as her wider influence on pop culture, we do have some bones to pick. Also, we drop a few spoilers for some of the later books, so if you care about spoilers for books 3, 4 or 5, please be forewarned! Sorry for the delay on this one, folks! January was a month...but we left a treat for you at the end of this episode to make up for it.

In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, I'm pulling back the curtain on my personal approach to “energy protection”—and it's probably not what you think.

Robin Daniels is on the Product Thinking Podcast to discuss how it's possible to transform working cultures through the careful construction of a supportive community atmosphere. Robin, Chief Business and Product Officer at Zensai, explains to Melissa Perri how his remarkable journey through product management and marketing across leading tech companies like Salesforce and LinkedIn has led him to where he is today. The pair ponder the question of what sparks joy in a corporate setting, and they discuss how a weekly check-in system that promotes self-reflection among employees is a far more functional system than the outmoded annual performance review method of performance management. Tune in to discover Robin's insights on driving growth through product-led strategies and the evolving landscape of product management.

Ever thought about the power of joy, even in life's toughest moments? Today, I'm joined by Kristen Sparks who has conquered abuse, addiction, and physical trauma to uncover an unbelievable joy and resilience. She emphasizes the importance of discarding obsolete narratives, embracing love's transformative power, and finding happiness in tiny moments of contrast."What I'm trying to get at is we have the ability to stop the craziness and the drama that we play in our heads and find that spark that literally does live. I, I say it's absolutely in the solar plexus. We talked about perception and the importance of remembering that we all see things differently. And not taking things personally."That's what life is all about. It's this beautiful dream that we get to dream in any way we want it. And every morning I am so grateful to wake up. And take a good, deep breath. I'm grateful for the pains and the aches and the cat screaming, the dog barking. Because I'm awake. I'm alive. We get another day.Amen to that peeps!Kristin has a podcast, find it at https://www.wrarinc.com/wrartvShe is having an event in Florida next month. Her keynote is Marci Shimoff whose program, Happy for No Reason has changed many lives.You can find more about Kristin here.And she's on IG here

Content warning: While we don't discuss sexual assault in detail, we do mention it a few times, since it often comes up in conversations about consent. We've got a treat for you all this episode! Along with your usual fabulous co-hosts, we're joined by filmmaker, writer, and scholar Michele Meek to discuss the Netflix show Sex Education. In the first of two episodes with Michele, we first learn about her exciting new book, Consent Culture in Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in US Movies. Then, in our discussion proper, we introduce Sex Education; decide whether or not we really like the main character, Otis, and other members of the ensemble cast; and work through some of the secondhand embarrassment often associated with teen sex comedies. Mark your calendars and turn on your SLL notifications: "E30 Sex Education (Part 2) feat Dr. Michele Meek" will drop on July 28th, 2023! To learn more about Michele and her work, visit MicheleMeek.com. Corinne got really excited during What's Sparking Joy and it ran a little long, but if you want to get right to the Sex Education content, you can jump (15:35 - 24:48). Also, if you're a Sex Education fan and want to skip the background/character info, you can bypass (25:49 - 30:48). As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Back in your ear holes for the first time since May, we're fresh off our summer hiatus. This episode we're joined by friends of the show, and fellow pop-culture connoisseurs, Mav and Hannah from VoxPopcast. In part inspired by Netflix's recent Persuasion adaptation as well as the continued success of Bridgerton, we wanted to put regency romances in context. In the first of two parts, we get into what, exactly, a regency romance is, why people love them so much, and our own experiences watching them. (Hint: it's the bosoms.) What's Sparking Joy sparked a little more than we expected, but you can skip (09:25-26:35) to get to the main discussion. Also, a quick correction: Love Like the Galaxy takes place 2000 years ago, not 1000. You can find Hannah, Mav, and VoxPop wherever you get your podcasts. But here are links to some of the episodes we mention: e219. Why We Still Love the Jurassic Park Franchise e201. The Romance Show: (Hannah wouldn't let us call) Love In The Time Of COVID e208.

We kick off Season 2: Beyond the Book in the spirit of the summer! This episode was recorded at the beginning of summer and I decided to spend some time during the summer re-reading a few books that have had the most impact on me. One in particular, that has left an imprint on my heart and my soul and my way of seeing myself is a book with the title "Sparked: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work that Makes You Come Alive" by Jonathan Fields. That's why I wanted to bring to you an encore of a conversation I had with one of my favorite people Dr. Kim Middleton... in hope that it inspires and encourages you to spend some time this summer having conversations with some of your favorite people and/or rereading some of the books that made the most impact on you.
