Ever feel like you're living someone else's timeline? At midlife, many of us realize we've been following imaginary rules that keep us stuck in "fine." Author, poet, and "beauty hunter" Jennifer Pastiloff blew up her "fine" life at 50, leaving her marriage and discovering she'd expanded, not destroyed, her life. Now, Jen opens the pages of her latest bestseller "Proof of Life" to explore how to let go of perfectionism and shame, why curiosity is a lifeline, and how embracing the "school of whatever works" can power you forward. We also investigate biggies like: How do you silence your "inner asshole"? What does it mean to stop abandoning yourself for approval? Why are you already proof of your own worthiness? Honest, open, and full of warmth, Jen will inspire you to stop waiting for permission and start living before you “run out of light.” Listen in for a conversation that feels like a late-night chat with a beloved, old friend.

I grew up in the church. My sister, my mom and I went every Sunday. I was involved in Sunday school, youth choir and after-church activities. It was all I knew. And I'm grateful for having that experience because it shaped a lot of my life. It affirmed my love for music, it gave me the start to my value system, it taught me about community, family, and most importantly faith. But it was never imposed on me that I had to follow that belief system. My mom simply introduced me to what she believed and always said that it was my choice.Now that I am raising two daughters, I am set in my own belief system, just like my mom was. I stuck it out with Christianity, despite having issues with the faith, because I align with the core values of Jesus. Honestly, I prefer to say I am a follower of Christ. I think that wording embodies more what I believe and how I go through the world. I've kept my faith intact (for the most part) and up until three years ago I was heavily involved in the church. I also became vegan almost twenty years ago because it's in-line with my activism and love for animals.While these belief systems are important to me and have helped shape who I am as a person, I will never impose them on my daughters. They will simply know—just as I did with my mother—why they matter to me and why I've chosen to follow them. If they choose to go down the same path as me, I want them to do it because it's what's right for them, not because I forced it on them.The power of choice is beautiful thing to have, and I fully believe that had my mom not given me the option to choose whatever works for me I would've left my faith a long time ago. But I formed my own relationship with God and chose to follow the teachings of Jesus because it's what worked for the person I was becoming. Being forced to believe in anything will always put a sour taste in anyone's mouth. But given a choice, they are more likely to see why something works for someone else and potentially follow along. I know as parents we are given the daunting task of raising someone to be a good person, care about others and do what we feel is right. But what's right for us may not be right for them.My oldest daughter has always been independent, and I've given her the opportunity at times to make her own choices about activities she wants to participate in, things she wants to try and of course what clothes she wants to wear. Even at four years old, giving her a little independence has helped her navigate her own wants and needs so she can become her own person. My role is simply to guide her. Of all the people I have met in my life, the people who tend to rebel the most are ones who grew up in households that were too strict and had organized religion forced on them. Not only that, everything they were told to steer clear of they gravitated towards like forbidden fruit. The deep-rooted fear that their parents instilled in them about the unknown turned into curiosity that couldn't be tamed, and that eventually led them to walking away from their faith and religion all together. I'm a firm believer that everyone's journey is different and uniquely their own. This is why I'm such an advocate for an education system that exposes kids to all walks of life, different belief systems and identities, not one that bans books and posts the Ten Commandments on the wall of a public school and expects this to achieve anything. We should be focused on making kids become the best people they can possibly be and making sure that it brings them happiness. We should all choose whatever works for our personal journeys, and let people live in a way that makes them happy. Malynda Hale is a multi-hyphenate content creator in Los Angeles.

From an appearance on My Three Sons to a notable role in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman to starring in St. Elsewhere—as well as films with Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, and mockumentarian Christopher Guest—Begley has worked with just about everyone in Hollywood. His "green" bona fides date back to 1970, and have been the topic of two books, a reality show, countless media appearances, and even repeated spoofs on The Simpsons (in one episode, Begley's solar‑powered car stalls out on train tracks, but is saved when the train is revealed to be an "Ed Begley Solar‑Powered Train”).Begley's unmistakable voice is honest and revealing in a way that only a comic of his caliber can accomplish. Behind all the stories, Begley has wisdom to impart. This is a book about family, friends, addiction, failure, and redemption.Pickup a copy hereOWC Atlas Ultra CFexpress Cards:Experience the unparalleled performance and reliability of Atlas Ultra CFexpress Type B 4.0 cards purpose-built for professional filmmakers and photographers to capture flawlessly, and offload files quickly in the most demanding scenarios.Learn more hereUpcoming Event: Celebrate the top talent in entertainment at the HPA Awards, hosted at the Television Academy's Wolf Theatre on November 7, 2024.

In this spontaneous musing, I dive into the surprising connections between two films: Whatever Works and Another Round. Both movies explore the complexities of love, life, and personal growth, showing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to finding happiness and meaning. Drawing on insights from philosophy, I discuss how these films reflect the idea that life's advice isn't universal; what works for one person may not work for another. This theme is echoed in the characters' experiences with love and drinking in the movies, highlighting the unpredictable nature of life. But I also discuss how Whatever Works doesn't mean that Anything Goes! There is still room for good life advice, and you'll hardly find a better of that than Socrates, especially the down-to-earth version we get in Xenophon's Memorabilia. If you enjoyed this discussion, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more musings on philosophy, politics, and life.

America's Desperate Need for a New Ruling Class. Time to move on from the current crop of freaks on top. Thinking let's give MAGA a try. Sampling Tucker Carlson's ‘loathing' of the Establishment. Translating the true meaning of “democracy” today — nothing but “elite power.” Although Mike Benz offers a slightly excessively more charitable interpretation. Host on the Nietzschean Will to Power as tool for political analysis. CBS reporter Catherine Herridge fired by CBS, also has her notes confiscated. Yet another Deep State maneuver. Plus, a quick philosophic discourse on why we humans are so “restless” all the time. Host offers tentative solutions, along with Montaigne, Pascal, Rousseau, Tocqueville, Epicurus and Epictetus. The meaning of Sanskrit term “duhkha.” The sufferings of the world. Our Pursuit of Happiness. Whatever Works. Amor Fati.

Whatever Works is the 39th film written and directed by Woody Allen. ‘Whatever Works‘ sees Allen return to the US for the first time in many years. It was made amidst the writer's 07/08 strike, when Allen was unable to make a new script, so he used one he had previously discarded, originally written for Zero Mostel. Larry David stars as Boris Yelnikoff, as big a curmudgeon as you are likely to meet in cinema. The grumpy old man has his views challenged when he meets Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood) and forms an unlikely relationship. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages Podcast. This week we look at 2009's Whatever Works. How it was conceived, how it was made and how it was a victim of circumstance. Spoilers are everywhere - so watch the film and then come back.
