I have been on my holistic healing journey since 2020 after a massive awakening thanks to a sound healing ceremony. Since then I have dedicated my free time to health and healing (when I'm not too consumed with being a mama of two). Health is something that has always been important to me, but healing myself in a holistic way has allowed me to become a version of myself I am truly proud of.

Ride along with two perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics. Can the strangers find common ground through film and form a friendship?

They’re just two average Joe’s from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard!
