Beautiful conversations that foster a safe place for vulnerability and create community. The hosts willingness to share about their personal experiences blooms real open discussions with the guests. The episodes provide equal insight into the industries the guests create within, and the shared humanity that unifies us living within a capitalist structure.
Really good at digging into how to do your stuff, be true to yourself, and support yourself and others all at the same time. No easy answers but plenty of great information!
New favorite podcast— great guests, incredibly timely takes on evergreen factors of choosing a creative life/ career. Hard to describe how much insight, humor, and non-corny vulnerability these two + their guests bring to every episode. Deep dives punctuated by levity and breakthroughs that feel earned rather than performed. Loved the Tompkins and Loftus episodes most. Glad every episode ends on a note of sane uplift.
Engaging discussions with people struggling in the gig economy
I have listened to and watched Cox since 2007, and I have loved 90 Days … and very much appreciate that she is making Another Day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Really, really liked the first episode. Comfort and strength! Cheers, Cecilie from Hvitsten, Norway
