What does the word "family" mean to you? Is your family the people you grow up with, the people you're genetically related to? Or perhaps the people you choose to be your family? There are so many definitions for this word, and an incredible amount of opinions on this topic. In this episode, single Mom Maimouna and writer/plant-lover Monika talk about their views on family and whether or not they believe "blood is thicker than water".

We all know about the big artists out there, whether we're talking poetry, like Emily Dickinson, or art, like Pablo Picasso. And we all know their works of art and how brilliant they are. But how many brilliant pieces can one writer, singer, painter, possibly create? It comes down to multiple factors, but in this episode we talk about one in particular: inspiration. What inspires artists to keep going, what's their drive to create? We've invited poet & tattoo artist Cara and writer & poet Lara to talk about this interesting topic.

Have you ever been in a consensual non-monogamous relationship? Chances are you haven't, but you've thought about it - just like 25% of U.S. citizens (based on a 2015 study). However, even though non-monogamy isn't anything new to the world, there are many societies where it's still considered unethical or unusual. This is the first of, hopefully, many episodes around the topic of relationships and it's different styles and preferences. And today, Adriana tells us about her experiences with the relationship style she prefers.

We can most certainly say that 2020 was definitely not a usual year for nearly all of us - whether at school or at work, with family or friends, there have been major changes and adjustments we had to make as individuals. This episode, however, we want to focus on something you, as a listener, probably thought a lot about as well: art. How has the pandemic been for artists and what kind of changed have there been in certain creative communities? We've invited Elayna Speight, graphic designer, and Dany Greene, embroidery artist, to share their experiences with us.

There are two sides to every story, as there is to love. It is a story most of us have lived through at a time in our lives. And yet it is still such a complex feeling one just cannot grasp in a single moment. The concept of love is definitely an interesting one, especially because we consume different views and opinions on it constantly, either through our local environment or through the media. In this episode, authors Tess and Saundra try to scratch the surface of this tricky feeling and did an amazing job elaborating their own opinion on it. How do you view the concept of love?

'Art' is something humans have been creating for centuries - it is something very familiar to us and easy to distinguish, even if we're someone, who doesn't necessarily work in the field of arts. But do we actually know if that painting we're looking at is art? Or the book we're reading, song we're listening to, etc. Maybe one must give their art work a greater meaning to actually be able to define it as 'art'. Is this true? And does this then lead to the question: Does art in general even have a purpose for the human race? Why do we feel the need to create art? I tackle these incredibly difficult questions with two talented artists, Gaby and Shahe, and get to see the view on art from the other side.

Have you ever been judged by someone for an art piece that you've created? Chances are, you have. Whether it's in school, university, at home, on social media - we constantly get judged by other's, and sometimes it can get overwhelming. In this episode, I've invited two artists, Otysee and Zoe, who share their art work publicly online. They share their opinions on judgement, how often they receive it, whether it affects their work or creative flow, and how to deal with it when it's getting in the way.

This is a bonus episode to the previous "Can you force a mind to be creative". In these extra 10 minutes of insight, Anna and Jennifer answer some more questions that didn't or only partially made it in the full episode. But we didn't want you to miss out on this, it's just too good!!

Creativity is something we all possess, in one way or another. And most of us try to be creative in our everyday lives, whether it's at home, at our job, or at a place where we feel most comfortable to be creative. But there are times, when it seems like we have lost that creativity, when we lack it all together. How do we get back on track? Can we actually force our minds to be creative? Is creativity just an on-off switch that we can use at any time? And are there any methods out there, that might be able to boost our creativity? We answer all of these questions with our two guests of the episode: Anna Helena & Jennifer Sturrock!
