In episode 11 we look at the roles we take on in situations where we have no control. All three of the shows we focus on have main characters that accidentally end up in life and death situations. Once the quest for survival begins do you cast aside your principles, or find a way to stay true to the type of person you want to be. Throw in some butt-kicking powerful females and now it's a party. Thanks for the listen!

With full moons and the year coming to a close, the CO Blerd Girl looks into a few different works that allowed for reflection of what possibilities the future holds. The pursuit of a new passion or career, accepting a destiny that you might not have chosen willingly, maybe the application of skills that you didn't think were useful prior. Journey into the lessons that "Carole & Tuesday"(Netflix), "Wicked & the Divine" (Image Comics), and "Dr. Stone" (Crunchyroll) brought to the Blerd Girl while preparing for the turn of the year.

Staying flexible when we are thrown into the unknown can be difficult to say the least. In this episode the CO Blerd Girl explores the different tactics that get shown in the current shows that she's been watching, and how they are helping her to stay afloat in these times of change. Do you need to recognize your own shortcomings and using motivation from others around you like the characters in "Haikyuu"? Maybe needing to see the world with fresh and open eyes like Michiru in BNA? Hopefully not test your survival skills like Leti and Tic in Lovecraft Country.
Relax, enjoy and grab hold of your journey!

In this episode I dive into three shows that taught me about change, growth and cycles. With the world facing numerous challenges and upheavals simultaneously, the path before us can seem hidden and be hard to find. I look back at the ways that Fairy Tail, One Piece and Avatar: The Last Airbender helped me to get through other times of change and how those lessons can be used for our present.
