Have you been wondering why the Wicked movies hit you so hard emotionally — maybe harder than you expected? You’re definitely not alone. In this bonus episode, I break down why so many of us (especially women and moms) see ourselves in Elphaba and Glinda, and why their journeys feel so deeply personal.

We talk about the parts of us that want to be liked, accepted, chosen… and the parts of us that know we’re meant for something more honest, more aligned, and more true to who we really are. And I’ll share how Wicked captures the very real struggle between staying small and stepping into your full power — and why watching it on screen brings all those buried moments back to the surface.

In this episode you’ll learn:• Why the Wicked movies evoke such an intense emotional response• What Elphaba and Glinda represent inside every woman (yes, both sides)• How their stories mirror the real-life process of healing, identity shifts, and becoming your truest self
