What happens when Laura and Bay take a working stay-cation after Falling Inn? A deluge of magical things, of course! Bay sees her first-ever show on Broadway in the most magical fashion, and Laura cries her eyes out for three hours in Orchestra Row A eating free chocolate frogs. 10/10.

Laura, Bay and Rocket sit down to debrief the incredible, first-ever, heart-opening and magical West of Wonderland Retreat: Falling Inn Vermont! It was magical, it was unexpected, it was deeply restful, it was powerful! Want to be the first to know about West of Wonderland retreats? Get on our list! https://westofwonderlandconsulting.com/wow-retreats/

Bay and Laura are 3 days away from Falling Inn! What are the woodland creatures up to where YOU are right now? What are some things you've done that you're proud of, but also sad about, and why? It's hard to be wholeheartedly excited about anything due to capitalism right now. Laura and Bay draw some lines and discuss how right they are about what the Disney Company should be doing!

How many Velocicoaster mugs do you have? Did you know that Self Care Is Pretty™ and Your Feelings Make Sense™? Laura shares more with Bay about the evolution of her band and the stuff it's churning up, but in a positive way™. Still no band name, and still one space open at Falling Inn!

Look, none of us are trees. In this day and age, if something feels foolish to you, but you still long for it, you absolutely must fight for it. More on this week's episode of West of Wonderland. P.S. Falling Inn is sooooo soon! Wanna come?

When there's a lot to rage about in the world, what do you do with that energy in you? Bay and Laura connect about the intellectual, emotional and physiological experience of being a human being right now. Tenderness. Critical conversations with ourselves. Getting connected to us, so as to connect with more integrity to those around us. PS. Snorffuly dorffuly.

Just a liiiiil more follow-up from Laura about the Elizabeth Gilbert memoir, and West of Wonderland continues its journey into obsessions, addictions and collections, just like Ariel in her grotto. Bay and Laura connect over their shared experience of recent change. Change is hard for everyone, but how are YOU when you hit the need for change in your relationships, and the things your relationships affect? P.S. Falling Inn is one month away!

Part Two of Laura and Bay's discussion about obsessions, collections and addictions, and all the crossroads between these complex topics. Laura works through just what doesn't sit well with her about Elizabeth Gilbert's latest memoir, and they explore the terrain of Essence-based versus Survival Mechanism-based collecting and such.

What can YOU explain and justify away, simply because you love it so (not inclusive of a certain evil rich author we all know about)? Bay and Laura discuss the geography of social media and how it influences us when it comes to the thing we love. Speaking of things we love: where are the lines between collecting as a hobby versus an addiction? How do you navigate these waters when you love something, without letting it become so unruly? What part of you is like Ariel, wanting gadgets and gizmos and more and more!? P.S. Falling Inn is coming soon! https://westofwonderlandconsulting.com/falling-inn-vermont/

What kind of hoops did YOU have to jump through to see Jurassic World Rebirth this summer? Hopefully not the same as Bay . . . ;) We meet our hero back at the local cinema, where she was promised free tickets due to an unfortunate incident (see Episode 211). What did we all like, love, hate, tolerate and wonder about after the latest installment in the Jurassic franchise? What does Michael Crichton think? P.S. Falling Inn is coming soon! https://westofwonderlandconsulting.com/falling-inn-vermont/
