048 - School of Rock

Hello, rockstars! We spend a fair amount of time in this episode talking about music, concerts, and the Cache Theater Company production of School of Rock, a musical based on the 2003 film starring Jack Black. Because of this, we felt this episode needed a Spotify Playlist to go along with it! (And here's a great list of concerts coming to Utah this summer and fall!)

 

Mary and Lexy talk about reconnecting with yourself, and how concerts are one way Mary reconnects with her inner rocker. Lexy likes to connect with her inner child by “hitting it hard” while dancing, and playing music for her family.

 

We also talk about disruption, and how it creates some of the biggest changes in our lives. Mary talks about the renovation of the Salt Lake LDS Temple, and how an earthquake in 2020 revealed other weaknesses that wouldn’t have been known before. Disruption also reminds Lexy of flowers that can grown in the cracks of broken concrete. Focusing on our happy thoughts (like Robin Williams in the 1992 classic film Hook, which is currently available to stream on HBOMax) can help us get through our hard times. 

 

Our Better Betty Challenge is to find something that disrupts–a song, a movie, a frog-hunt, or something that will remind you of more carefree times–and let it be your happy thought for this week. Let that inner child fight, fly, and crow!
