The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

It’s time to go back to school, film style!

In this episode we take a thoughtful dive into two powerful coming-of-age dramas set in the world of education and youth. First up is Ken Loach’s *Kes* (1969), a British classic that soars with quiet defiance and one unforgettable kestrel. Then we head to a Parisian classroom with Laurent Cantet’s *The Class* (2008), a Palme d’Or winner that blends documentary realism with sharp social commentary.

Join us as we compare these two vastly different but thematically linked films that offer raw, honest portraits of education, adolescence, and defiance in very different corners of the world. We consider how each director captures the turbulence, triumphs, and tensions of adolescence. Expect sharp insights, a few laughs, and plenty of cinephile chat.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering these films for the first time, this episode is your perfect companion.
