Zest & Wishes

I reflect on my growth this past year, my new goals for this podcast, and the strange fast-paced yet endlessly slow time of staying at home. A chill & unscripted type of episode to start of February.

Thank you for listening, you make this podcast possible! 

I contemplate what "good" art is, what art means as an abstract concept, what "counts" as art, and the differences between art & design. This'll be a mind-bender for all creatives listening. 

I recently am dwelling on starting a youtube channel where I upload art and life content. Here's my thoughts and whims and worries and hopes, among other things going on in my life now.

I contemplate on the thought: Why do we sometimes endure discomfort when that discomfort can easily be gone? + another ode to minimalism!

P.S. my instagram is @zestandwishes.podcast and if you leave a 5-star review that would be very helpful with spreading this podcast to more people like you :) (but no pressure though)

Today on Zest & Wishes I discuss a whole random flow of thoughts. Sit back and chill with this unscripted episode while I ramble about random updates about my life. I hope you enjoy :)

have a great day! x jane 

We often think that ritual scrolling through instagram every day is entertaining and overall a great way to connect with incredible friends and creators. While I 100% agree with the benefits of social media: representation, inspiration, etc., recently I've come to think otherwise. Today I'll share some of my negative experiences with my endeavors online (especially instagram), and why I think it's important to distance ourselves from the toxic environment it often fosters. I hope you guys relate with this one!

Zest & Wishes is a teen artist sharing her reveries, wonderings, and hopes as she encounters the ever-changing world. New episodes every Sunday, and listen on any podcast platform!

Today I sat down with the podcast hosts of Realtime: Megha and Varsha, two highschoolers (like me!)  to talk about all things quarantine, school, and teen-related. This is a longer episode than usual for this podcast, and it's because we dive deep into a variety of topics for you to connect with during these zoom-filled, isolated confusing times. Listen to their amazing podcast on any podcast platform!

EDIT: Looking back, this episode isn't my best (lots of unedited repetition lol). It was only my second ep and I'm in the works of figuring out how to make my podcast as great as possible. Thank you for listening & I'm excited to learn and grow!

Today on Zest & Wishes I talk all about birthdays and growing up! I dive into my experiences with birthday celebrations, the concept of getting older, and share my wonderings about adulthood. Among other things I mention: a lovely camping trip, the weird phase of 2016, and Jenny Mustard. Hi! My name's Jane, and I'm a teen artist living in the SF Bay Area with constant wonderings and zesty wishes. This podcast is where I share them in hopes that you can connect and feel less alone.

EDIT: I initially took down this episode because I wasn't happy with the way I presented my thoughts (I unintentionally implied some things I don't believe in)...but podcasting is about improving and I wanted to still keep this one up so we can look back at my progress. Thank you for listening and supporting me as I figure out the art of podcasting! 

In today's episode, I talk all about the rabbit hole of improving ourselves to become better, setting realistic routines for ourselves, and self doubt thoughts. Among other things I discuss how we often become obsessed with the perfect version of us, glow-up videos, and mention a quick story about a new water bottle I got. I hope you enjoy!

Zest & Wishes is me speaking my personal journal of wonderings, experiences, and wishes in hopes that you will connect & feel less alone. My name’s Jane, and I’m a teen artist based in California with tons of musings to share.

New episode published weekly on Sundays!
