3.9: "Narrative Economics" By Robert Shiller - How Stories go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events | Unboxing with Wendi & Norma
Hello there, Lover Fam!  Welcome back to another Unboxing episode on Transactional Love. Today, Wendi and I are excited to be back together to dive into a book called "Narrative Economics" by Robert Shiller, which is an exploration of how thoughtfully positioned stories can go viral and shape global economies. Shiller argues that it's not just data and models that drive financial markets, it is also the contagious power of popular narratives. From the rise of Bitcoin to housing bubbles and stock market crashes, he shows how viral stories can influence real world economies and outcomes, often more than rational analysis. This book challenges traditional economics by spotlighting the human side - our beliefs and the stories we tell. We are so happy you're here and listening in with us!

3.8: "VALERIA" Netfix Series based on the novels by Elísabet Benavent | Unboxing with Wendi & Norma
Welcome back, Lovers! In this fun episode, Wendi and Norma Unbox "Valeria," a Spanish TV series on Netflix about an aspiring novelist named Valeria and her three best friends – Lola, Nerea, and Carmen – who navigate their late twenties and early thirties in Madrid, facing challenges and joys related to love, friendship, work, and self-discovery. The series, adapted from Elísabet Benavent's novels, explores themes of creative and romantic crises, female solidarity, and personal growth as the women support each other through life's complexities.  We fell in love with not only the narratives of Transactional Love of their careers - how they pursue their passions to end up in places where they're all exploring the work that they love - but also exploring the Transactional Love of their relationships, whether platonic or romantic.**If you haven't watched this series, we would recommend to watch before listening to this podcast as there will be spoilers.
