In Part 1 of our two-part Studio Ghibli mini-series, Natalie and Zori reflect on their personal histories with Ghibli films and the deep sense of comfort, wonder, and meaning these movies have carried across different stages of their lives. From childhood escapism to adult reflection, they explore how the same stories can meet us differently depending on who we are and what we’re navigating at the time.

This episode is about nostalgia, growth, and the quiet magic of revisiting stories that once held our hands and now offer something new. Cozy, reflective, and a little emotional, this conversation sets the stage for why Ghibli continues to resonate, no matter how much we change. 🌱✨
