Joy discusses the value of observing and embracing seasonal shifts in our lives...Griz not so much. We also discuss creative blocks and their possible purpose in the life of an artist. 

Joy does another sample session with Griz. This time around they talk about Griz's hang ups with offering proper condolences and where that comes from.

This episode contains some helpful responses to when things don't work out as we expect them to. 

Doing things the same old way because that's what's comfortable and that's how we've always done them isn't one of those pieces of advice.

When the world goes sideways, it might be a good time to buy a cape, stretch out your arms, and forget about former pedestrian ways of life. Yes, this might mean that all that happens is that you're just wearing underwear over your tiger-striped leotard and wriggling around on your living room floor, but you definitely are one scooch closer to living your best life.

The new format continues as I have Griz identify his long relationship with lower back pain. Fast driving and unreliable car metaphors pervade and it seems at some point in the ride a Tricky Little Elf has taken the wheel. A discussion, inspired by Raphael Cushnir's The One Thing Holding You Back, comes up. And we talk about what it is that Griz's back is trying to say to him.
