This week Melody & Julie unpack the concept of friendship– what a true friend is and what inspires being one!

Katonya Breaux (founder of Unsun Cosmetics) joins us in conversation this week as we talk about the unforeseen pain of loss and how pain also has the power to transform us forever.

In this special episode with Lauren London we examine how personal loss has impacted each of us. We also discuss the ways we can stay connected to those who've transitioned and the spiritual growth that follows.

In a world with seemingly everything at our disposal, why do we keep trying to create something new? This week, we explore creativity and how comparison creates competition.

Julie flies to L.A. to surprise Melody for her birthday! Then, they are joined by Sam Fragoso (host of Talk Easy) to explore the connection between the origin of service, birthdays, and death. 

This week we sit with filmmaker and producer, Oge Egbuonu! We explore the mysterious nature of change, and how telling our own stories can break the cycle of life’s perceptions of us.

This week we explore mistakes and process. If we have the freedom to question things, it gives us the opportunity to discover them. There’s no learning if there’s no questioning, which leads us to figuring out if it’s really about the outcome or the process? 

For this week's episode we go back to the beginning of us, unpacking our design, mutuality and stumbling. And how Julie’s near death experiences became her work.

This week, Melody and Julie sit with Los Angeles artist Lauren Halsey! Inspired by Afrofuturism and funk, her work focuses on the intersection of art, architecture, and community engagement. In our talk, we discuss the need to invest in people with love, the sanctity of her creative process, redesigning business, leading with grace, and how Lauren's work aims to remap South Central, where she grew up.

In this episode, Melody and Julie explore the phenomenon that we each are potential gifts to those we encounter. And at times, even without knowing, carry the mysterious potential of changing someone’s life.
