Living Well (or Trying To) with JanetHow to Keep a Positive Mindset When Everything Feels Like it’s Going to 💩Have you ever experienced a situation that seemed catastrophic in the moment, like when you think back to it as a memory, you feel it in your body - whether it was wide-eyed panic, stomach sinking disbelief, or rising anger fuming through your nose and exiting your mouth in expletives? In this episode, I share how I discovered that my car was stolen, the surprisingly calm reaction I had, and how I was able to achieve this mindset. I also share some thoughts on The Tale of Two Wolves. If you enjoy this episode, share a 🐺 in the comments!

In this episode, I share how I relate to this concept in my life right now and a handful of specific 'healing girl summer' practices that I’m doing. Which one do you plan to try?

Living Well (or Trying To) with JanetHow I Find SPACE in My Life - My Meditation JourneyThis episode is not about trying to convince anyone to meditate, if they aren’t somewhat interested already. I think most people I’ve spoken to don’t need to be sold on meditation and would like to start meditating, but the common hang-ups I hear are: "How do you meditate? Like what is going on when your eyes are closed? What am I supposed to be doing?" and "I've tried meditating before - I've downloaded apps, watched videos, or attended a short session - but I always fall off the habit. How do I develop a meditation practice or rit...

The world is ending! It seems like every news article, publication, title, and post nowadays is about how the world is getting worse. Yes, humanity is at a pretty critical point in history - things have been, and continue to be, dire. But we don’t hear enough about the improvements, the powerful initiatives, and the amazing milestones to give us hope to continue putting effort toward turning around what can feel like an enormous train speeding toward a cliff’s edge.

But WAIT - before you empty those glasses COMPLETELY, I want to share an alternative approach to Dry Jan. Not to be discouraging, but research shows that ⅓ of people who attempt Dry Jan fail to make it the whole month. Instead of going ‘Dry’ this year - there is a new movement called going ‘Damp'. Listen to this episode to find out what it means to be 'Damp' and how to be it.

Guilt Free FeaturesTop ThatEver wonder what it’d be like to magically become “The Most Popular Girl”? Or win the heart of the high school football captain and dance to your heart’s content during your “Finest Hour”? What could “Top That”? Come join Karen and Janet as they examine the first "So Bad, It’s Good" movie of the series, the cult classic '80s extravaganza, TEEN WITCH.

Guilt Free FeaturesWe See You, Brendan Fraser.From the guileless fish-out-of-water to intrepid mummy slayer, Brendan Fraser has starred in a plethora of different film roles over the years.

Guilt Free FeaturesAnother TokeAt last, in 2004, Asian American movie audiences finally got what they had always wanted: a mainstream comedy featuring real Asian American characters! Played by real actors of Asian descent! But was Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle really all it was cracked up to be? This week, Karen and Janet are joined by the inimitable Juan Caceres to discuss where Harold and Kumar fit within the landscape of American cinema during early 2000s and how that landscape has since evolved.

Guilt Free FeaturesCageFest!During “The Summer of Cage,” movie audiences were treated to not one, but two blockbuster action films starring Nicholas Kim Coppola, aka “Nicolas Cage.” Fresh off of Cage’s Oscar win for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas and the success of The Rock the previous year, both Con Air and Face/Off premiered in theaters in June of 1997. To celebrate the agony and the ecstasy of both films, Karen and Janet are joined this week by filmmakers, Nicole Witte Solomon and Sean Mannion. Come and partake with them in Guilt Free Features’ first ever CageFest!

In this episode, Karen and Janet welcome the show’s first guest of the season, the inimitable Justin Donham— actor, stage manager, voiceover artist, and yoga instructor extraordinaire— to discuss two of Ryan’s less critically acclaimed yet well-liked films, I.Q. and Addicted to Love.

Guilt Free FeaturesBack In the SaddleNearly thirty years after its release, the film, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, is still discussed in rapturous terms by its mostly female audience, who came of age during the 1990s. Perhaps not since National Velvet had another film so popularly captured the unique relationship that exists between adolescent girls and the horses they ride. In this episode, Karen and Janet discuss the film’s wholesome appeal, its puzzling timeline, and the mythical albeit short-lived career of actor Michael Schoeffling (aka “Jake Ryan” from Sixteen Candles).
2020-04-1053 min
Guilt Free FeaturesStand Out From the CrowdThe films, Powder and The Boy Who Could Fly, first appealed to young audiences in the 1980s and 1990s, because their teenage male protagonists stood out from the rest of the crowd. Both movies feature adolescent heroes with supernatural powers; but that’s where their similarities end. As Karen and Janet work to unravel the differences between these films, a myriad issues begin to emerge, ultimately challenging the ladies' belief that these were ever guilty pleasure movies to begin with.

Guilt Free FeaturesFrom the Mouths of Teens - Shaw & ShakespeareIn the wake of box office smash, Clueless, American film studios scrambled throughout the latter half of the 1990s to produce a glut of modern teen adaptations of classic novels and plays. Join Karen and Janet as they delve into two such movies: the romance comedies, She's All That, based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion; and 10 Things I Hate About You, based on William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.
