    Inside the Divergent Movie Set w/ Veronica Roth (SPOTIFY EXCLUSIVE)

    Veronica Roth got to watch the idea she wrote in college get built in her own city - gravel poured over the streets, the Ferris wheel painted to look worn, and an entire El car built from scratch by the crew. She's taking us behind the scenes of Divergent, including the one set that made her cry the first time she saw it. xoxo,Olivia Timestamps00:00-00:06 Can we talk about the movie?00:07-00:26 On the set in Chicago00:27-00:44 Turning Chicago into a dystopia00:45-01:08 The Ferris wheel & Shailene Woodley01:09-02:11 Watching the cast and crew work02:12-02:38 Building the pit02:39-03:04 Rebuilding an El car03:05-03:40 Her favorite scene: the choosing ceremony

    Returning to Divergent with Veronica Roth | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton

    Hi angels! Today I'm sitting down with the woman who built the world that raised me - Veronica Roth!! She wrote Divergent over winter break of her senior year of college, and I have been waiting YEARS to ask her my Tris and Four questions. Her new book The Sixth Faction comes out October 6th, and it takes Tris back to the choosing ceremony and sends her somewhere else entirely. We hold a choosing ceremony for our beverages (we agreed on nothing), she tells me why she went back to this world after all these years, and then I make her sort Xaden, Hermione and Katniss into factions. You DO NOT want to miss this one! xoxo, Olivia

    Claiming Your Baggage with Kier Gaines | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton

    Hey Angels! Today I'm sitting down with a licensed therapist who has DEFINITELY been on your For You page - the one and only Kier Gaines! His new book It All Starts When You Do: How to Do the Real Work of Self-Healing just came out, and it had me rethinking my own life choices (in the best way)...
