Hi friends!

Lots of life has passed, and I hope you're doing well. This episode may seem like a conversation about art and creativity, but it's really an experiential and spiritual jazz session with Day To Have a Day creator, Adam Ripley.

Each of his silly little comic perfectly captures a shred of the human condition and you can't help but go into a deep reflection after coming across his work. I highly recommend checking them out on @daytohaveaday on instagram.

Here's 5 DEEP things we talked about:

🌳 Nature as a refuge

🎨 Using art to connect with others

👯 Conversation as act of creativity

🌎 Letting go into the experience exactly as it's happening

🚪How to stay open to the moment in front of us?

Hi friends!

Here's an end of year episode for ya'll :)

Stranger-turned-friend, Madison, joins us on the pod today. We chat about her ADHD diagnosis and journey towards sobriety, becoming more self-aware and stepping away from toxic friendships, and doing things for their own sake.

My favorite thing about her is how open she is in following what lights her up. She loves learning about skincare, writing poetry, graphic design, coding. And then I find out that her job is an accountant. 🤯

You're gonna love this one - I know I did.

Thanks Madison for being on the pod :)
