  Dr. Sherry Hamby — Busting the Myth That Trauma Makes You Stronger & Building Resilience

  Aug 5, 202653 minS3

  Dr. Sherry Hamby, award-winning professor and author of Stronger Than You Think: Building Lifelong Resilience, joins Sparkle On to dismantle the myth that resilience is something you either have or don't. With over 30 years of studying trauma and resilience, Dr. Hamby reveals that resilience is not about toughness or grit, but a modifiable process that anyone can develop at any stage of life. She explains why trauma is never required to build strength, why the field of psychology has been stuck on outdated definitions of resilience, and how healing requires far more than just pushing through. This conversation explores the context of trauma, the power of narrative writing, the difference between being exposed and being truly seen, and why achievement culture is making us miserable. This episode is a reminder that resilience is not about doing more, but about building a life that includes meaning, relationships, regulation, and a supportive environment.

  Lindsay Wolfington — The Emmy-Nominated Music Supervisor Behind One Tree Hill's Legendary Soundtrack

  Jul 22, 20261h 4mS3

  Emmy-nominated music supervisor Lindsay Wolfington is known for her work that defined One Tree Hill and the indie rock era. Lindsay walks us through the creative chaos of sourcing indie artists in the early 2000s, and the art of the end montage. She unpacks the difference between being literal and being on the nose when choosing the perfect song for a scene, and why and how she convinced producers that indie music was cooler than pop, even when everyone was pitching them the opposite. From opening mail bins stacked with CDs to placing Jimmy Eat World's "23,” Lindsay proves that the right song doesn't just complement a scene, it becomes the scene. Lindsay reminds us that music supervision is more than matching vibes; it's licensing, negotiation, instinct, and the ability to cry at your own work. She co-hosts the podcast Sad Song Queens with Lara Webb, where they celebrate the songs that make you feel everything.
