This week, we’re stepping outside our usual Hallmark lane and diving into Lifetime’s powerful original movie Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story. Based on true events, this film recounts the harrowing experience of Nichole Jolly, a nurse who survived the devastating 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California.

We break down the movie’s emotional storytelling, the real-life heroism behind Nichole’s survival and how Lifetime translated her extraordinary journey to the screen. Along the way, we talk about:

• The balance between heartbreaking tragedy and uplifting resilience
• Why Nichole’s story stands apart from the typical disaster movie
• How the film captures the small, ordinary details that make survival stories hit harder
• Where Lifetime leaned into their signature style—and where they surprised us

Of course, we add our signature Love on the Pod flavor: tropes, favorite moments and a few laughs.

Whether you watched the movie, followed coverage of the Camp Fire, or just enjoy true-story Lifetime dramas, this episode will leave you both inspired and thoughtful.
