Make time for this episode during your holiday from now until New Years!
Since it is the holidays and the season of “letting our hearts be light,” it’s a chance for me to invite one of my dearest friends on the podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by The James O’Toole from Chicago - Chi town as we call it, and Jim as I call him.
Jim has a love for classic movies. You name the movie, he has watched it! He has delighted me with his POV, and it’s one that I cherish today beyond just the movie topic.
His insights on the characters, story line and funniest moment are just a few of the reasons he has become my “go to” to discuss movies in general.
For this episode, Jim and I are sharing our favorites of the season. Some vintage, some modern, but all with a timeless message. We discuss the lesson the movie holds, our favorite scene and fashion statement, plus the perfect cocktail that should accompany while watching!
We intended to just put a smile on your face, inspire a movie night and perhaps make your drive just a little more fun! Cheers to friendship and the movies that make our season merry & bright.

We are honored to host Jacqueline Bond and Ayana Christie from the women-owned publishing and art house, Bond & Grace.
Bond & Grace has masterminded the well known coffee-table book into an art novel that opens hearts and minds to a new way to embrace classic literature. Their thoughtfully curated collections with bespoke attributes, lure you into a world of storytelling like no other publishing company has.

Their first two editions: The Secret Garden and Frankenstein have already attracted and inspired those that have a love for classics, not just in literature, but lifestyle, as well. These are AMAZING gifts for those that love the classics and cherish unique, luxury storytelling elements in their homes. I personally own both editions and the emotional, intellectual and artistic expression is captivating.
