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.

It feels pretty cool to be ending 2024 with the 30TH episode of our podcast! Round numbers are so fun. And what better way to close out the year than with a musical? We're talking about 'Hamilton' (2020)! It's a first-time viewing for Jessica and an umpteenth-time viewing for Gabi. 'Hamilton' is the filmed recording of a June 2016 performance of the beloved musical chronicling the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton. The brainchild of composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, it's hard not to get the musical numbers stuck in your head, even after a single viewing.
'Hamilton' serves up lots for us to talk about. We touch on the dichotomy of drive vs. desperation that comes up many times with several different characters. We look at the significance of the weaving together of the musical numbers and how that is echoed in the narratives of real life. We discuss the value of the people in our life who antagonize us in healthy ways, and what the modern equivalent of a duel might be. And of course, we aren't shy about picking favorites when it comes to scenes!
Thanks for listening! We'd be so grateful if you could leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.
