How Far We Come

Steph & Allison get into week two of The Artist's Way. Before they dive in, the girls do a check-in from week one. Are they consistent with their morning pages? What was their artist date? Along with all of the things they found had an impact from week 1. They then discuss the themes of week two from the book coupled with their perspective and the things that hit. Going sane, poisonous playmates, crazymakers, skepticism, and attention - how do these things show up in doing the work of The Artist's Way?

But first, a medieval career path. And, Allison has a game recommendation for date night, or game night with friends - a real who's who of who's that if you will. Steph tells the tale of being treated as a VIP at one of her favorite spots, but also touches on one of the woes of being a woman.

This week Steph & Allison get into defining personal style! A topic near and dear to Steph's heart and a source of low-key anxiety for Allison. They discuss the philosophies of stylist Allison Bornstein who's approach to personal style is aligned with the ethos of this podcast - fashion as an act of self-awareness, another area of knowing what we like to be in touch with ourselves. They get into where it all began for Steph, why Allison's outlook on style has never been confident, defining Steph's personal style according to Allison Bornstein, and in-real-time they come up with a direction for Allison (McCarthy)! A more light-hearted follow-up to last week's check-in, the girls have fun with fashion.

They also get into the topic of how we present ourselves on social media: are we exemplifying self-love? or are we exemplifying self-interest?
