We all need some enchantment in our lives, especially these days. So who better to meet this week than the Princess of Andalasia herself, Giselle from Disney's Enchanted? Giselle is the child in all of us, seeing the beauty in the world, and sometimes missing the harsh realities. But Enchanted shows us that there is a necessary balance between the fantastical and the realistic. Join Sarah as she explores the making of the film and the innumerable easter eggs hidden throughout this love-letter to Disney. Then come along with Jessica as she explores the benefits that optimism and hope have on the brain, and the necessity for finding a bit of magic in the mundane. If you feel all warm and fuzzy, "That's How You Know" you've learned from this week's princess: Giselle.
