Wild and Crazy Life with Monica Baker

Dorothy is a Maximalist, Grandmillenial Artist, and we talk more about all of those things in the show. She loves vintage and antique items, and she does a really fun game in her IG stories every so often called Yay or Nay. It’s one of my favorite things to do on Instagram.

Dorothy founded Memphis Arrow Creative, which is home to many artists in the Memphis area. She also does her own paintings, including murals all over town. In the episode we talk about a mural she’s been working on that she couldn’t reveal at the time, but since then it’s been revealed at the new Restaurant Iris in East Memphis. If you’re local, go check it out!

This conversation was so fun and inspiring for me. After talking with Dorothy, I just wanted to paint and browse antique stores! I hope you find the chat as fun as I did, and without further ado, here’s Dorothy Collier.

In this solo episode, I riff a little on a new-to-me concept--body attunement. I talk about what I'm learning and how I'm applying it to my life.

This episode is for you if

**You're tired of listening to "experts" and still feeling stuck

**You feel like you've basically got this whole life thing down pat and yet also feel like something's missing

**You're curious about a new way to define our relationships with ourselves.

Stacey Poterson was a bit "inconvenienced" when the idea for FemForce Shoots struck her. But, that didn't stop her from chasing the idea and making it grow.

FemForce Shoots offers photo shoots and Reels shoots for female entrepreneurs. Every Tuesday in cities across the country, women set up shop at great photo locales and have fun creating visual content. They receive all of the photos from the shoot and are free to edit and use them as they see fit. I've been working with FemForce for a few months now, and I LOVE it. The more I get in front of the camera, the more comfortable I feel with it. The photographers are learning how to coach me, as well as figuring out my brand and tone. Also, I'm beginning to see the same women each month, allowing us to make connections and help each other outside of the shoots.

Wins all around.

This conversation with Stacey is so fun. She is such a talent and really understands what female entrepreneurs need--because she is one!

Welcome to This Wild and Crazy Life!

Earlier this year, my friend Candice Henley did something we'd only heard stories of other people doing. She and her husband Jameson sold their house, bought a camper, and moved their family of 5 (and 2 dogs!) to Florida. They're currently workamping at a park in Florida and living a completely different life than they did a year ago.

Candice and I talk about the year leading up to the big move and how she navigated a lot of confusion. We talk about adjusting to family life in a camper, the beauty of simple living, and how much our husbands love each other.
