Tune in for this episode with Emmy award winning filmmaker, Beth Harrington. From Beth’s unexpected life on the road with a rock band to how she’s approaching her current film projects, we cover a lot of territory. We talk about how Jonathan Richman’s commitment to craft influenced Beth’s commitment to authenticity and how what she’s bringing to the game at this stage of her career has leveled up her enjoyment of the work. A deeply moving and funny conversation about the life of a creative. This episode was recorded prior to the COVID-19 emergency which is why there is no discussion of the pandemic.

Recorded prior to the onset of the unprecedented social and economic upheaval associated with COVID-19 and, thus, the closing of The Wing, this episode jumps off with Lisa and Elizabeth discussing a column that appeared in Fast Company magazine written by The Wing founder Audrey Gelman. Ms. Gelman’s piece is about the mistakes she’s made while running her company and the pressures of appearing perfect. In other words, Ms. Gelman is guilty of running a business while human. The hosts talk about their reactions to the piece, their own leadership struggles, the unique dynamic between women and how they hope Trust Tree can provide tangible support and what that looks like.

The women of Trust Tree Talks were lucky enough to catch up with Courtney Barker when she had a brief stop in town during her year of living in a fifth wheel on the road with her family. Courtney is one of our favorite multihyphenates, an entrepreneur-businesswoman-wine connoisseur-traveler-writer-seeker-wife-mom-friend and more. She sat down for a funny and wide-ranging conversation with Lisa and Elizabeth that touches on topics like how she brings more intention to her life decisions and where she’s been faced with tough choices in following her vision for her best life. Prepare to be inspired to expand your world and make sure you’re living the life you want.

When Elizabeth and Lisa were asking women to share their stories for their forthcoming anthology, they quickly realized they needed to step up and write their own. In this episode they explore the feelings that came up when facing down that keyboard. Encompassing anxiety, fear, shame, courage, inspiration and a heaping helping of Brene Brown, their conversation didn’t shy away from the tough stuff.
