This week we sit with Meredith Moody, an art historian and a woman with an extensive knowledge of the relationship of mental health and the arts. We talk personal struggles with mental health and the relationship of how the arts effect that struggle. Are you or someone you know a person who uses their art to help them through life's ups and downs? 

We talk a bunch of topics about consuming different styles of art. Be THAT person who invites friends out to join you in your art consumption. It makes for a more interesting life. 

Topics from this episode:

Aveleon Music

Marina Abramovic

Book Stores

SAK Comedy

. . . and more

In this episode Ashley and I interview a body positive model, Keira Christman. She is an advocate for body positivity and feminism. We don't get too far into the feminism side of things, but it is a fun interview that has a few adult topics (some younger listeners might hear topics they've never heard before). You might want to preview before sharing with the little ones. Here's a short listing of some topics we hit:

Clothed vs. nude modeling Milk bath photo shoot, lingerie, nude beach group shoot Advice to up and coming models
