What if Mike Judge ruled the world? We explore the 1999 cult classic “Office Space,” its enduring impact on workplace culture, and the creative genius of writer and director, Mike Judge. Maybe you feel like putting on Joanna’s 20 pieces of flair, quoting Milton’s classic line “That’s my stapler!” and taking apart your office cubicle with a screw gun and a smile like Peter just thinking about it. Elaina also reveals her experience working in production for 9 years on the hilarious Mike Judge (Hank Hill, Boomhauer,) created Fox animated comedy “King of the Hill” in Los Angeles. No, Mike Judge would probably not remember her, but she loved every second of being around the writers, producers, and staff, not to mention the actors.

Like our high school counselors in the ’90s, Elaina dares to ask: What did you want to be when you grew up? How can we embrace our authentic selves? And who hasn’t wanted to reenact David Herman's copy machine sledge hammer rap scene? Tune in to find out how taking a leap from Rhode Island to California impacted Elaina’s life – almost 25 years later.

All Hail Alanis Morisette, Queen of the ’90s. You’ve got “one hand in your pocket” so you’re ready to go! We focus on Alanis’ groundbreaking album Jagged Little Pill, highlighting how Morissette's raw and authentic lyrics, written at just 19, resonated with fans and continue to do so today. Elaina delves into Morissette's explosive collaboration with producer Glen Ballard, the creation of hits like "You Oughta Know," and the surprising inspiration behind that song. Along the way, we admire Morissette's depth, comparing her introspective and observant nature to the qualities of an INFJ personality. Reflecting on the enduring relevance of Morissette's music, Elaina also shares personal stories about observing and engaging with life's defining moments, her divorce experiences and her father's supportive presence during challenging times.

Questions, ’90s music fans: What did you know? When did you know it? And why is the answer Scott Stapp, enigmatic lead singer of Creed? The righteous rock band from Tallahassee, Florida, formed in 1994, was prominent in the post grunge movement. You remember “Arms Wide Open,” “My Own Prison,” and “My Sacrifice.” Now Creed is back on tour. So get your friends together, fire up the lighters, grab your Human Clay T shirts, and bask in the Creed memes. Why did critics try so hard to tear our heroes down? The boys from Creed may rock hard, but their deep symbolism and spiritual imagery have a lot to show us today. Elaina dives into deep track “Screen” from the band Brad (Pearl Jam adjacent). Plus, pull out those memories of youth group and church camp! Elaina celebrates her ’90s Christian music roots – and how good the music still is.
