What if fantasy romance books could empower and transform your life? Join us as we chat with Meg and Marina, two insightful psychologists with a shared passion for the enchanting world of fantasy romance. Together, we unravel the magic behind these captivating stories, noting how they empower women, challenge societal norms, and create safe spaces for exploring themes of pleasure, healing, and self-discovery. Our conversation, sparked by our mutual love for "A Court of Thorns and Roses," delves into how these stories become lifelines during tough times and offer fascinating journeys through complex relationships and female empowerment.
This one’s for all the women who dive into those romantic, magical, sometimes downright raunchy books and come out the other side forever changed. In this episode, I’m joined by two fellow fantasy romance lovers, Meg & Marina, who both have a background psychology, and their own dedicated instagram accounts to spill on why we’re so hooked on these stories—and why they’re way more than a guilty pleasure.
We are talking about how fantasy romance empowers women, challenges the usual norms, and creates a safe space to explore things like pleasure, healing, and self-discovery. Each of us shares our personal reading journeys and what it is about these stories that keeps us coming back. There’s something undeniably powerful in watching female characters grow, take charge, and show resilience, even as they work through things like trauma and complex relationships.
We chat about our favorite tropes (you know 'enemies to lovers' gets a mention!), the importance of self-care, and even dream out loud about writing our own stories that celebrate the messy, complex, and beautiful lives of women. Whether you’re a fantasy romance fan or just curious about the hype, this episode might give you a whole new perspective on the magic in these books.
Throughout the episode, we explore the deeper themes within female-centered romance narratives, such as self-discovery, resilience, and coalition-building. We confront critics who label these stories as mere escapism, instead highlighting the powerful feminist act of reading for pleasure and self-care. This journey continues as we discuss the impact of fantasy literature on personal growth and relationship expectations, encouraging listeners to embrace their scars as symbols of survival and to seek relationships that support autonomy.
Our conversation takes us through a colorful tapestry of topics, from the rich cultural backdrops of the Davabod trilogy to the empowering themes found in Greek mythology and modern romance tropes. You'll hear about the allure of morally gray characters, the significance of diverse representation, and the magic of community in literature. So, whether you're a seasoned fantasy romance enthusiast or a curious newcomer, join us as we celebrate these enchanting tales and perhaps find a new favorite read along the way.

Feeling overwhelmed by the noise of life? Between the demands of social media, the stress of the season, and the constant pull of the outside world, finding balance feels harder than ever. In today’s episode, we’re joined by Jennifer Pereira, or “Lola” as she’s known online — a spiritual mentor and business advisor who’s transformed her own experience of corporate learning into a mission to help others reclaim their identity, power, and fullest creative expression.
Jennifer shares how she broke free from the hustle cycle, found authentic alignment, and now guides leaders in building legacies that resonate deeply with their values. Leading as “lovewithlola”, she brings more than 2 decades of work and life experience with guidance spanning from the boardroom to the bedroom in bringing people to deep realizations in their own hearts.
Together, we’ll dive into the Akashic Records, the true meaning of self-care, and ways to navigate that tug-of-war between staying plugged in and living genuinely. Jennifer doesn’t just tell her story; she gives us tools to step back, reclaim our energy, and embrace the often messy, but deeply rewarding, human experience.
Our discussion takes a fascinating turn as we explore the Akashic Records—a cosmic library where one can access universal truths about their soul's journey. Jennifer distinguishes this from traditional psychic readings, focusing on the soul's truth and its infinite potential paths. We delve into the intriguing intersection of personal growth, free will, and divine will, encouraging listeners to tap into their leadership capabilities and contribute meaningfully to the world. Jennifer guides us through the nuances of starting a spiritual business, emphasizing the importance of integrity, self-awareness, and the power of self-discovery.
We wrap up with a deep dive into self-care and the societal pressures that often lead to a consumption-driven mindset. Jennifer challenges us to reclaim our individual sovereignty by questioning the societal norms that dictate our identities and desires. From nutrition to creative outlets, we discuss the elements that contribute to a balanced life, urging a return to authenticity and self-love amidst the chaos of modern life. This episode is a call to action, inviting you to examine your relationship with authority, wellness, and the addiction to suffering, ultimately leading to a richer, more fulfilling inner life.

You guys this is another one of my favorite episodes because it’s the best cross between therapy and woo. Danielle Knapp is a licensed therapist in Texas and a certified astrologer. And we are talking all about the Moon Sign in our charts. And since we are both therapists that love to talk about the planets, it’s the perfect blend of self-reflection and astrology. We unpack how understanding your moon sign can help reveal your emotional world and internal experience. Plus if you know your sun and moon sign, Danielle will give you an easy way to find out what you here to do for yourself and for others. And it is so good, mine made me cry, shocker. haha
Join us as we unravel the roles of sun, moon, and rising signs in shaping who we are inside and out. Explore how the elements of fire, earth, air, and water contribute to our personalities and life paths. Through Danielle's expert lens, learn how astrologic insights—much like the Enneagram or Human Design—can foster self-compassion and self-acceptance, encouraging us to celebrate our distinct qualities rather than resist them.
In this thought-provoking episode, we examine the characteristics of air and fire signs, their intellectual and passionate natures, and how they influence our interactions with the world. Danielle also guides us through the emotional depths of water signs, offering valuable perspectives on nurturing emotional awareness and boundaries. Finally, we explore astrology's enriching role in parenting, highlighting the benefits of understanding a child's moon sign for fostering emotional security. Whether you're an astrology enthusiast or a curious skeptic, this episode offers a compelling look at how the stars can help us understand ourselves and our loved ones more deeply.
