Life Coaches Talk Movies
As life coaches, Jessica Heimsoth and Gabi Gilliland love figuring out what makes people tick. It's no wonder that, as friends, Jessica and Gabi often find themselves nerding out about movies, and how certain films have inspired and motivated them throughout their lives. Movies are the stories we tell about our existence and purpose, and everyone's life is explained by story.
Life Coaches Talk Movies isn't a movie review podcast (although we might do a bit of that here and there). In each episode, one movie will serve as a springboard for a conversation about what the story, characters, or even our experience with the movie itself bring up for us.

Was this movie MADE for life coaches? Maybe! The movie for this episode is one of Jessica's picks, but it's beloved by both of our hosts: 'Inside Out' (2015). This Disney offering is unique among other animated films in its class. It takes the audience inside (literally) the mind of 11-year-old Riley who is about to move from Minnesota to San Francisco, leaving behind the only life she has ever known. At the control panel of her mind are five emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. As Riley navigates the massive shift of moving to a new place, we see how her emotions (and ours, by extension) each play a crucial role.
We laugh, we cry, and we dive deep into the richness that this movie offers our human-behavior-obsessed brains. We talk about how our current lens can affect our perspectives of our own pasts, how personality is NOT the person, what 'Inside Out' does really well when it comes to illustrating the THOUGHT-FEELING-ACTION sequence, where it falls short, and what this can teach us about the power we have over our own minds.
Thanks for listening! We'd be so grateful if you could leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.
