In this episode, John and Linnea dive into the nuanced differences between rest, relaxation, and recharging—what they mean, how they feel, and why we need them all. We revisit our art from the first episode, and John shares his personal rest ritual, crafted to help him decompress after work. He also introduces us to Tomo, a fruit-of-wisdom-eating monkey who refuses to return to his old self. There’s even a surprise: John experiments with colour! As we meet new characters and watch their stories unfold, we’re left wondering—what’s next for Tomo? Tune in and find out.

John and Linnea spend the time reconnecting and reminiscing about how they know each other. Linnea is an art therapist who wishes to share art resources and encourage everyone to make some art about it. John, new to the art game, shares his heroic tale of exploring art land as a creative notice with little to know art background. The art directives centre around self-exploration, and invites us to look at life in its multiplicities. Together they share their creative paths, the benefits but also the struggles. Shout out to John for acknowledging that they would both be awkward and weird, and being curious towards where this goes.
