Happy to celebrate the end of Season 1 and coming of Fall! Its been a great Summer and as the leaves are changing I recognize change in relationships.

Here is a little recap of season 1 and a working theory of friendship I have discovered based on recording these episodes.

Daniel N. Johnson is the image maker who actually photographed me for The Friend Show and many time before. He has also captured many of my other friends.

He has a way of seeing himself in his subjects that reveals parts of himself through this extention. I was able to sit with him in Mexico city at an exhibition of his work during Art Week.

What do a sensuality doula and a nude chef have in common? We find out on this episode of The Friends Show when I introduce Ev'Yan Whitney and Charlie Ann Max, to talk about their experience of coming in to their bodies and how they are carrying the wisdom they gained into the world.

Step behind the curtain and understand a little but more about why The Friend Show is important and even a little bit of personal narrative.

We also talk about the importance and utility of having an imaginary friend! ( or 3)

I also use this as a mid season check in to see how folks are feeling about it!

Lorenzo is a dear friend who is in a pivotal moment in his career - a career that I have been a part of in a number of ways over the years. We caught up to unpack how it feels to be on the precipice of whats next and look back on the road that brought you hear.

He's a longtime friend and designer who is currently running a crowd funding campaign to raise $25,000 for his concept space in Leimert Park, Los Angeles. He's halfway there and with any luck you will listen to the podcast and be compelled to support the vision. Here is the link !

Its a great chat that spans, creative practice, mental health, and what it feels like to have community support.

Michelle and I have been friends through a few life seasons over the past 10 years.

I knew here when she lives in LA, and while she was in New York, and she is living in Toronto. I was in Canada's largest city for a dinner and some events so I grabbed coffee with her to check in on her, the forthcoming baby, and to shoot the breeze for a little while.

The Friend Show isn't just talking about friendship, its also a place to practice it!

Jason & I have always been keen on each other. We both occurred to each other as similar but not the same and this was interesting for two people who had routinely been the different ones in our lives.

In this chat Jason and I meander as we do, in a dérvieian way through topics and even hypothetical city streets to unpack what means to feel a bit of sameness amidst so much difference, and indifference.

Dating is a technology that has been put in place to further sort and sift us into nuclear units without understanding the deeper impact that friendship can have on our quest for love and relationships

Two amazing friends of mine, Myisha Battle a licensed sex and dating coach & Francesca Hogi, a former match maker and love coach take me to task and help me understand how navigating the dating landscape has changed over the years and how to engage with the apps and such.

It's riveting.

Shower thought: How can we discuss ideas, without physical places to reference the interactions of those ideas? Are bodies required to have minds?
