In this episode of Paperbacks and Paychecks, Sara and Noelle spiral—literally and literarily—through Sarah J. Maas’s Crescent City series and the chaos of unreliable narrators. From Bryce's questionable choices (and even more questionable friends) to Hunt’s whole... baseball hat situation, they unpack what happens when your main character lies to you—and how that mirrors our own messy workplace narratives.

But the paperbacks are only half the story.

On the paycheck side, they dig into how our inner voice can derail us at work, whether it’s anxiety spirals before a Slack message or misreading the vibes in a meeting. The co-hosts share tips on emotional maturity, navigating manager miscommunications, and why owning your professional narrative is essential—especially in job interviews. Also: Pegasus farms, HR investigations, and the most cursed tattoo origin story you’ve ever heard.

✨ Expect:
– What Crescent City got wrong (and right) about grief and growth
– When your work anxiety has you in a chokehold
– The career coach case for becoming a reliable narrator of your own life

🎧 Tune in for chaotic book takes, candid career truths, and catharsis—one dragon-fae side quest at a time.
