Episode 2: In this episode of She Says It, host Madeline is joined by Lucy Parpaglioni, a traveler, writer, and the founder of Itinerari di Cinema America, a platform centered on movie-inspired travel and first-person storytelling.

Lucy explores filming locations across the U.S. and beyond, asking what happens when a place first seen on screen becomes something experienced in real life.

Lucy approaches travel as storytelling rather than a checklist. Her work focuses on presence, observation, and noticing the details that can’t be found online. She lets history, emotion, and lived experience guide the narrative through authenticity.

Madeline introduces the episode by reflecting on a January 2025 trip to Ireland and the moments that stayed with her long after returning home. She shares how movement and unexpected connections shaped the way she listens, creates, and ultimately found the courage to start this podcast.

This episode is for anyone who has ever planned a trip because of a movie or felt changed by a place they didn’t expect.

Episode 1: In the first episode of She Says It, Madeline sits down with KJ Blattenbauer, founder of HearSay PR and a publicist with nearly 30 years of experience helping founders build visibility rooted in trust, clarity, and authority.

KJ challenges the biggest misconception about PR—that it’s about chasing attention or landing one-off press hits. Instead, she reframes visibility as a leadership tool, grounded in positioning, message alignment, and being understood in the right rooms.

She’s the author of How to Be a Media Darling and the upcoming Pitchworthy (2026), a modern guide to building long-term authority without losing your voice or values.

This conversation sets the tone for She Says It—where visibility meets intention, and saying it out loud becomes an act of leadership.
