Updating my review now that the 1st season is wrapped up. I’m so happy this podcast exists. It’s approachable and fun while so soul affirming. I feel really inspired on my creative journey listening to this show. I really love these hosts. I want to follow Bente and take her art classes, and I want Michael to put out audio meditations!
Boy oh boy I love this pod! So many helpful bits of knowledge for everyone - creatives, entrepreneurs, parents, business people…everybody can benefit from the wisdom of Bente, Michael and their guest.
I’m furious there’s only one episode! I’m ready to binge! Can’t wait for more. Also the gentle music choices are really lovely. A+ with these 2.
