Your hosts decided to time travel to series they loved in their younger years. Looking back as adults, they pulled some emotional themes from the literature that they can reflect on from a different place. This episode discusses codependency, confronting fears, trying to control outcomes, and how all of these themes show up in their own lives.
With this topic, Cecylia and Alexandra delve into their own realizations with people pleasing, anxiety in parenthood and tools used to overcome, learning to let go, and how much the people in their lives pull them through. Once the books are pulled from the shelves, your hosts play a series of games to learn about the series the other did not read. They summarize the series they read, discuss the themes present within the novels, and compare the series. As a reminder, the first half relates to the selected topic in their own lives and will remain spoiler free. The second half of the episode is where the hosts bring the books forward to deepen the discussion.
The books present with this conversation are Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. Time travel with your hosts as they bring the lessons learned on memory lane to the forefront of this discussion.
Featured Episode Topic: Codependency, Confronting Fears, and Trying to Control Outcomes
