Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

To Love Someone More Than Love Itself
Q: How did you come to terms with the memory of your mother and the complexities of your family history?
She describes learning to see her mother as a human being with flaws, not a flawless icon, which allowed healthier relationships and a more honest narrative. This shift is tied to her own healing, therapy, and the authorial act of writing the memoir, which reframe the past as something navigable rather than something to be banished.
To Love Someone More Than Love Itself
Q: What was the process of researching the book and how did it affect you emotionally?
Natasha explains that the research portion felt forensic and factual, which contrasted with the creative and somatic process of writing. She preferred the imaginative, artful aspects of storytelling over the dry accumulation of facts, while recognizing the necessity of confronting the truth about her mother's death and its surrounding circumstances.
Humans are makers. Not scrollers.
Q: What motivated the creation of Art Craft and Color and how did the 20 artists and colors come together?
Bridget had the initial concept and imagined a making book; together we selected 20 colors and matched them with artists who would bring diverse crafts, ensuring each pairing offered both inspiration and practical examples.
Humans are makers. Not scrollers.
Q: How did you decide to frame art and craft as a single, interwoven practice?
We explored the long history of division between art and craft, noted the cultural and capitalist pressures around 'art', and settled on a view that both disciplines inform and enrich each other, making creativity more accessible.
Ask this post a question
Q: Can you talk about the six blockers and how they map to the I Ching?
The six blockers are a framework to help people step back from a tough decision, asking about intuition, resources, skills, support, emotions, and impact, which together guide a more holistic evaluation rather than relying on a single approach.
