It’s a Wonderful Life here on the Finding Good Bones podcast with our guest Nancy Guzman - fiber artist, witch, tarot reader, horror film fanatic, sci-fi enthusiast, and a Gemini with too many hobbies - as we take a look at this holiday classic from Frank Capra. We discuss the underplayed darkness in the film, the blinders depression can put on a person, and the joy we can all create without even knowing it. Did you hear that? A capitalist angel just got its wings!

Come get starstruck by this week's Finding Good Bones guest - New York Times bestselling author, writing coach, and podcast superstar Lani Diane Rich - and her selection, Anthem by Leonard Cohen. It's a vulnerable yet frolicking discussion on finding the beauty in destruction, honoring scars, and rebuilding foundations. Lani Diane Rich is totally our best friend now, and soon we'll have the T-shirts to prove it.

Dear Listeners, this week’s episode takes in the mindkiller with The Litany Against Fear by Frank Herbert (from Dune) with guest (and host) Kate Caldwell. Secrets are revealed - it turns out Amy somehow hasn’t read Dune (?!?) - and the conversation covers matriarchal orders in a patriarchal world, taking in fear, and letting it take what you don’t need. And remember folx - no one is as scary as Mama.
