embracing "go with the flow", the importance of representation, and a brief history of Amigurumi w/ Whitney Marie Anderson, Jen Joyce + special guest: Renee ;)

52 minutes

The fabulous Whitney Marie Anderson joins Jen for Ep. 140! They cover how Whit learned to crochet and knit (a new one for this podcast!), going with the flow while also knowing your worth, the importance of representation, and then they dive into a brief history of Amigurumi, which is how Whit started her business. Oh, and how could we forget to mention that co-star Renee (Whitney's ADORABLE daughter) pops in to say hi! ;)
