🥳 To celebrate our tenth episode, please enjoy the sweet, sweet stylings of Amber & Emily giggling and doing an altogether bad job at podcasting. Help us celebrate by leaving a rating, review, or sending our show to a friend!

Emily and Amber (finally) get real with the dirt on Fashion.

The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. If that weren't enough, the fashion industry is often associated with poor working conditions and human rights abuses.

🚨 Fast fashion has made it easier and cheaper than ever to buy new clothes. People are buying more clothes than they need, and they are throwing them away at an alarming pace.

🫶 You know us, we definitely suggest shopping second hand because it's a pretty great way to reduce your impact. It helps to reduce the amount of waste produced by the fashion industry, and it also conserves resources such as water and land. And on course, it can save you money- because those GORGEOUS ethical designers can cost quite a bit of money. Ahem. Investment. We're still learning.

Psst: Part two of this conversation is about real ways to make a difference (including some of our favorite slow fashion companies) so tune in for the second half!

Bodies and friendships go through so many changes during and after pregnancy. Emily talks about postpartum pants and making mom friends.

Just popping in with a little *minisode* clip from our very first episode. This May, we're celebrating motherhood & conversations around being - or not being - a mom. If you haven't already, go back and listen to episode 1 for the full conversation.

Oh boy, we start with a whopper of a tangent before we even dive into this episode's topic: A woman's identity in being childfree or being a mother. So hang in there with us while we discuss not having a motherhood handbook, 'mothering' the verb, biological clocks, and people always asking you the, "Are you going to have any [more] kids?" question.

The conclusion of it all is basically puppies are not really like kids, but both can contribute to a significant lack of sex with your partner. It's an interesting 40 minutes.

Finally, Amber and Emily fumble through our very first interview! We've brought Sarah from The Purple Fern in to talk about developing your aesthetic, the co-creative process of making art and the fallacies micromanaging the creative process, the anxiety around collecting all the pretty things, and putting yourself first in order to be the best mom you can be.

Enjoy this meandering conversation (and some great book recommendations) with a bunch of art girls just trying to do their best.

Plus, you'll hear the snuggly sounds of our bonus special guest: Loki, Sarah's blue heeler rescue pup.
