Rob is a singer-songwriter-photographer-bartender-human extraordinaire. He's the definition of a hustler, incredibly thoughtful and well spoken, aaaaand did I mention he's an incredible party companion? This week we're talking about mental health, renegotiating our visions for our own happiness and the double-edged sword of building a global life. Check out Rob's Instagram here for all his upcoming creative projects.

Welcome to Season 2 of Life Is Trash! Over the next few months we're diving into the trashiness of being a young creative entrepreneur. Though most of our guests are musicians and producers, their insights and insecurities are universal. To kick off our new season, I am joined by I See Rivers: a float-folk trio from Norway who currently operate out of South Wales. These powerhouses have toured the UK with the likes of Newton Faulkner and Cosmo Sheldrake, booked, managed, and executed tours of their home country, and self-released two phenomenal EPs. You can find I See Rivers on Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever else you find aural content! 

Welcome back to Life Is Trash! Also, happy whatever you do in the moodier months to keep the big SADs away! To celebrate, I rounded up some of our pals from Season 1 for a little soiree of boxed wine, mediocre snacks, community, and of course, a little content creation. So grab a glass o' somethin', snuggle down, and get ready to reconnect with your buds from our inaugural season!

Surprise! You all had such great questions for me during season one that I thought I'd sit down and try to answer a few for you. Be sure to visit the website lifeistrashpod.net and check out the musical genius of Saam Jafarzadeh (Cobble, Oya Paya) and the musical arm of LIT's logo designer Audun Laading (Her's) P.S. SINCEREST APOLOGIES FOR MISPRONOUNCING HIS NAME ON THIS EPISODE! Audun I love you. Enjoy my darlings and thanks so much for engaging so thoughtfully with this first go around! 

When considering how I wanted to leave this inaugural season of Life Is Trash, my friend Demi instantly came to mind. She is wise beyond her years, a brilliant mind, and actual human medicine that I think we all could really use right now...Enjoy, my sweet comrades in trash and let's meet back here in January!

Kristi is fiery, hilarious and ripped as hell. She's also the mother of two littles, a partner dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, and a boss ass bitch who's building her life with intention day by day. Join us as we dive in to topics ranging from the performative nature of motherhood to gallons and gallons of lube. You're welcome.

Zac is a dear friend, a critical thinker, and a bonafide human sparkle. Join us as we talk about Fixer Upper, non-monogamy, and his experience as a trans boy in the world. Go forth with open minds and open hearts.

This week on Life Is Trash we're joined by a total anomaly: a well-adjusted, serene human being. Tee is thoughtful, beautiful, and wise beyond her years. Join us as we talk about the loss of a friend, the importance of community, and her vision for the future as a community organizer. Bonus: you get to hear me bumble along nervously in her presence!

Haaaaave you ever felt your heart being stomped into a million pieces, your dreams shattering and your plans for the future disintegrate before your eyes? This episodes for you!
