On today's episode, Dennis Spielman of Uncovering Oklahoma and I discuss how Oklahoma is no longer a fly over state. We talk about what cool things are here and what cool things are coming. Something that I think we forget sometimes is that we are responsible for the cool things in Oklahoma. Locals are the ones who have stepped up over and over with crazy ideas and a drive to make them happen. We've got a good thing here.

On today's episode Mel Willis and Jared Stigge join me in the studio to talk about Creative Mornings, a monthly local event for creatives. Mel and I both think that anyone can be creative. Our ideologies are put to the test when *gasp* Jared says that he doesn't think he's creative. So what is creativity in the first place? How can you get started if you don't feel creative? We get into it!

I'm joined in the studio today with writer/youtuber Marisa Mohi to talk about the art of storytelling. Storytelling is huge in our culture, from branding to box office hits. Today we chat about how we can take ownership of the stories that we tell ourselves so that we can write our own endings. We also learn about the archetypes of tarot and we give each other tarot readings. Yay!

On today's episode the wonderful gals Mary Rose Seims and Brigid Hoban talk with me about working your worth. We talk about how to get over those road blocks that are preventing you from embracing your real worth, the lies that shame tells us, and how we are wired for connection. Don't forget to binge listen to all their episodes of the Work Your Worth podcast!

On today's episode Lindsay Zodrow and I chat about how we are navigating this whole motherhood thing. Motherhood changes you, fundamentally down deep, and navigating those changes is scary as hell. We talk about the specific brand of anxiety that only mothers have, how we are constantly reinventing and adapting ourselves as our children are growing, and our most tragic toddler poop stories

Dude, it's hard to be present. What does it even mean. Erin Merryweather joins me in the studio to talk about being present (wtf?), making jewelry, and life in general. We always have a good time.

If you've ever been to a drag show you know that drag is an art form all it's own. On today's episode Jalika and I talk about the art of drag, what all goes into it (it takes a village), our favorite OKC Pride stories, and the importance of living your authentic life.

Do you have a side hustle or business idea percolating in the back of your mind? Special guest Amy Lamb and I talk about the ins and outs of side hustles, how to get started on the right foot, and what could be holding you back. We are here to cheer you on, so give this episode a listen!

Today on the podcast my dear friend Katie Baker discusses how the art of the past shapes the art that we see today. We also discuss which contemporary artists will likely be remembered by history and how our generation focuses on dismantling the conventions set by baby boomers. Good friends, big laughs, and lots of nerdy art talk.

On today's episode Gregory II and I chat about poetry and how it's relevant today. We also discuss racism in Oklahoma, a mural by Tatanya Fazalizadeh that was taken down in 2016, the labels others might use to define us, and the words we choose for ourselves.
