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.

Life Coaches Talk Movies is a tv podcast hosted by Jessica Heimsoth & Gabi Gilliland, with 35 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.

  Episode #34

  Episode 34 | Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) & Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

  Apr 20, 20261h 12mS0

  <p>It's a 'Jumanji' double feature! If you were of the impression that movie-nerd life coaches wouldn't be able to find deep topics in a pair of rollicking comedy-adventure films, allow this episode to change your mind. We're talking about 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' (2017) and its sequel, 'Jumanji: The Next Level' (2019). These were both Jessica's picks, and since she and Gabi share the same appreciation for unabashed silliness, Gabi was hooked from the get-go. Giving a nod to the 1995 original while forging a very different path, these two new 'Jumanji' films follow four high schoolers into the Jumanji video...

  Episode 33 | Adventureland (2009)

  Nov 11, 202559 minS0

  <p>Our movie for this episode has had a long-standing place on Gabi's top ten list. 'Adventureland' (2009) tells the story of James Brennan's summer following his college graduation, when life throws him a series of curveballs, and he ends up needing to take a job as a games operator at his local amusement park, Adventureland. Set in 1987 (with an amazing soundtrack to boot), we join James on a literal adventure of self-discovery, love, heartbreak, and realization.</p><p>For years, Gabi wrote this movie off as the "dumb" one on her favorites list, but our discussion proves that might not...

  Episode 32 | Encanto (2021)

  Jul 12, 202556 minS0

  <p>It feels great to be back to talking about movies after a bit of a break, and for this episode, we're taking on Disney's 'Encanto' (2021)! If you have young children like we do, we know there's a decent chance that the songs from this movie are stuck in your head (and who could blame you, because they're AMAZING). 'Encanto' is the story of the magically-gifted Madrigal family who live in a tucked-away village in Colombia. Young Mirabel, the only Madrigal who doesn't have a magical gift of her own (or so she thinks) leads us on an adventure of...

  Episode 31 | Real Life Loss & Grief: How Movies Help Us Feel Seen

  May 13, 20251h 10mS0

  <p>After an unplanned break, we are so grateful to be back. And we're taking this opportunity to bring you an episode that combines some intense and important life updates (mostly from Gabi) with a discussion about the role that movies play in our lives as we move through real experiences of loss and grief.</p><p>Please note that the subject matter of this episode might be a bit jarring, even more so because it's not behind the protective veil of being on screen. Gabi talks openly and honestly about her recent experience with late term pregnancy loss and...

  Episode 30 | Hamilton (2020)

  Dec 30, 20241h 12mS0

  <p>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.<br/><br/>'Hamilton' serves up lots for...
