The July Plan I'll Probably Abandon (and That's Fine)

Elizabeth is, by her own admission, an indoor cat in summer — sunburns in 15 seconds, prefers her outside time at dawn or dusk. This July she built a whimsy plan: 31 movies, a boundaried digital detox, and a running list of little things that delight her, to make sure her summer felt “summery”. In this episode:* The 31-movies-in-July project: a fast no on Fitzwilly, a charming surprise in The Reluctant Debutante, and a full roller-skating Xanadu spiral (plus a Kenny Ortega fact that connects way more dots than expected)* Two documentary recs: Martin Short and Billy Idol* What “boundaried” digital detox actually looks like — camera on for whimsical walk photos, podcasts off* Curating a weekly soundtrack with zero logic required* A soft, nostalgic detour into sprinkler summers, pajama dinners, and slipping into bed with nothing left to optimizeWhat’s she’s found so far is that plan was never really about the movies. It was about letting rest be simple again. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.radiantbadass.com
