Welcome back to a new season of the podcast! This week I spoke with my friend Shanthony Exum who is a true life artist. She's one of the funniest people I know and talented at so many things. She is a writer, musician, and comedian who is hilarious, wise, and so supportive and kind, which you’ll hear in the funny story of how we met in Las Vegas. We talk about: moving and change,  being a performer during Covid, what happens after a big success, body image, DIY culture, defying traditional institutions, Intersectionality, improv, and what she's loving lately. Show notes:- Katie's live journaling workshop on September 3rd, 2020- Journaling 101 kit- The Podcast Starter Kit- Connect with Shanthony on Instagram | Twitter | YouTube- Shanthony's EP How It Is- Shanthony's NPR song- Thunder Thighs music video- Belly Bounce video- The Every Body Project- Bush for the Push video- Well, That Escalated Quickly: Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist by Franchesca Ramsey (Book)- Shanthony's "How to properly wear a mask" graphic- Octavia Butler- My Crynicles YouTube series If you liked this episode try out:- Episode 155 with Andrée Vermeulen on Creativity, Intuitive Eating, Relationships, & More Sponsors:This episode was supported by Four Sigmatic, a wellness company that is well known for its delicious mushroom coffee.
