Steel Magnolias: Laughter Through Tears

Join us in Truvy’s beauty salon as we revisit the 1989 classic, our favorite movie, Steel Magnolias. In this episode, we talk through the plot while quoting nearly every iconic line. We unpack the film’s layered themes of female friendship, difficult mother-daughter relationships, chronic illness, loss, and grief—all while laughing through tears, just like the movie taught us. Whether you’re a lifelong Steel Magnolias fan or watching for the first time, this episode will feel like sitting on the salon couch with friends, laughing, crying, and remembering that “laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”
