After a quick update on Teresa’s recent collection release, Joy and Teresa get into the topic of artistic fears, with each counting down fears that accompany creating and sharing their art. While some of the fears are universal. . .several are surprises. In rabbit holes and recommendations, Teresa talks about discovering ex-voto paintings and Joy makes a confession. Closing out with an anecdote from growing up together, the two recount the horrors of taking the President’s Physical Fitness Test in gym class.
