#45 - of Mixtape Therapy, Hannah and Scottie use Disney’s Tangled anthem “I’ve Got a Dream” as a lens to explore how our deepest hopes shape the way we live, love, and connect. From parenting to creative work to relationships, Scottie reflects on aligning daily choices with personal values, while Hannah shares how her own podcast became a dream-shaped path to healing and growth.

Together, they unpack:

• The beauty and challenge of chasing dreams, even when reality doesn’t match the fairy tale.
• How creativity and passion—whether acting, music, or therapy—can bring fulfillment without needing profit or fame.
• Why vulnerability, active listening, and authenticity matter more than picture-perfect success.
• The contrast between Disney’s happy-ever-after narratives and Christianity’s call to endure struggle with hope.
• The importance of honest conversations, showing kids both the joy and pain of life, not just the polished version.

With humor, honesty, and heart, Hannah and Scottie remind listeners that like the quirky dreamers in Tangled, our real dreams often don’t look perfect—but they’re worth living out authentically.

#41 of Mixtape Therapy, Scottie and Hannah dive into a raw and real conversation about vulnerability, emotional boundaries, and the art of showing up for one another. They kick things off with a look at the groundbreaking 1968 Broadway musical Hair, unpacking its bold themes—homosexuality, drug use, interracial love—and a powerful song that challenges performative activism.
