156: Myth Movie Night - Song of the Sea

We’re revamping our Myth Movie Nights by revisiting a Spirits favorite - selkies! We’re doing a deep dive (get it?) into the Celtic stories of ‘Song of the Sea,’ featuring: summer stones, storm hags, where a selkie coat comes from, and being kind to yourself.  This week, Amanda recommends Goliath by Matt Stoller.  Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about death/disappearance, drowning, animal death, implied emotionally abusive relationships, birth and birth complications, loss/grief, and mental health struggles.     Sponsors - Calm is the #1 app to help you reduce your anxiety and stress and help you sleep better.
