September 25, 2020 Recovering a Sense of Autonomy
They are so stinking close to finishing their journey on The Artist's Way. Now on week 11, the gal pals are confident and assured as they move through the text.
One of the hardest things to do as an artist is to accept the authentic realities of your life. We often want to blame this or that, and not see what gifts we have right in front of us. Julia Cameron not only gives us tricks and tips, but genuine insights on how to appreciate what's in front of you and ignite the internal spark.

September 18, 2020 Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection
The girls are up to their same ol' tactics. They've lost a lot of speed, but are getting so close!
At one point, they go through Julia Cameron's breakdown of workaholism, and the gal pals have got different perspectives on this. There's a quiz they share to see if they suffer from the "disease." Listen in and find out if you are a bit of a workaholic yourself and what you can do about it.

September 11, 2020 Recovering a Sense of Compassion
This is probably the funniest episode we recorded this season. Please enjoy all the laughs.
As artists, we often punish ourselves and treat ourselves meanly because we don't understand what's actually occurring with our Inner Artist. Julia Cameron sets us straight. We're not lazy and we're not hopeless. Listen to this episode to catch up with the girls and get the step by step rundown of how to blast through your blocks.

August 28, 2020 The Artist Way - Recovering a Sense of Strength
There is a lot of gushing in this episode - at one point Brittany Marie even starts crying! It gets very heart-felt.
If you've ever been burned by criticism and have had a hard time determining what is useful and what isn't, this episode is for you. Not only do the girls reflect on how to handle criticism, but they also share their own experiences with it. Even though it's a longer episode, Becky really enjoyed editing this one. She hopes it will make you feel a little less alone in this creative world we engage in.

August 21, 2020 The Artist Way - Recovering a Sense of Connection
There's an energy shift that occurs in this episode. Let's see if you can CONNECT to it?
The girls spend most of their time together laughing and gabbing away, but later on, they come to a disagreement on the text and things get weird. It's actually beautiful to behold as it represents just how two friends can navigate through that and come back on grounded terms. The girls go through the text in an explorative, yet determined way. They are each stubborn in their views, but genuinely try to understand what the other is trying to express.

August 07, 2020 The Artist Way - Recovering a Sense of Possibility
The girls get very chatty, insightful, and critical of The Artist's Way in this episode. Per usual. Listen in to hear new approaches to what it means to pray, how to imagine success, and be authentically who you are without the facade.

July 31, 2020 The Artist Way - Recovering a Sense of Integrity
The girls get very real, deep, and vulnerable in this episode. You could say this whole thing was a reflective moment. If you aren't here for Julia, tune in to see two wonderful friends connect, gab, and have each other's back.
The song Brittany Marie references is called Bad Blood by Neo.

July 24, 2020 The Artist's Way - Recovering a Sense of Power
Both Becky and Brittany Marie had big problems with this week's text. Of course, there were good, transformational bits. But you had to dig around for it and sort through all the outdated, troubling parts. Wanting to avoid talking about the text, the two gal pals get lost in tangents about the movie Serendipity, Pete Davidson's love life, Macklemore looking like a lesbian, and Brittany Marie getting laid off. Originally recorded in October 2019.
