Summary

Liz and Sarah are wrapping their heads around the fact that in New Hollywood previously declared dead projects may come back to life unexpectedly. That’s great — but it can make it hard to gain momentum on new things. In Take Two, Liz and Sarah share all the many things listeners Don’t Feel Bad About Anymore. Then they give a Hit to all the people who have been showing up to the Killer Bee Zoom Work Hour every Friday at 10:30am PT. Liz gives herself a Bomb for her messy office, and Sarah gives herself a Bomb for her out of control nightstand. This week’s Hollywood Hack is good for your gut and your wallet: the Bruusta kombucha maker. Finally, Sarah recommends the audio book Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

0:00.0	Lemonada.
0:05.8	Liz, what if the lifestyle you built online suddenly became a nightmare you couldn't escape?
0:13.1	That is the premise of yesteryear, the darkly funny gripping debut novel from Carrow Claire Burke.
0:20.5	It follows Natalie, a picture-perfect tradwife influencer
0:24.2	with millions of followers until one day she wakes up in 1855 and realizes the reality of that life
0:31.7	is nothing like the fantasy she's been selling. And from there, it becomes this intense, twisty, turny story where her only goal is to
0:41.1	escape by any means necessary. Carol Claire Burke is also the co-host of the podcast Diabolical Lies,
0:48.5	and she built a huge following on TikTok talking about feminism and media literacy, especially

1:12.2	I feel like I've worn all of my pitching shirts, like so many times.

1:30.2	Well, whatever I'm wearing, it will be something that certainly you have seen before.
1:35.7	That's for sure.
1:42.6	Hi, and welcome to Happier in Hollywood, the podcast about how to be happier, healthier,
1:47.1	saner, more creative, more successful, and more productive in a backbiting, superficial, chaotic,
1:53.0	unpredictable, fundamentally insane world.
1:56.6	I'm Sarah Fane, a TV writer and producer living in Ohio right outside of L.A.
