    Three Part-Time Jobs in a Trench Coat

    I’m thrilled to say that this is the TENTH episode of Climbing Sideways. I found out recently that 90% of shows do not make it this far! So I’m giving us a pat on the back for this milestone. A note to share today, we have made the decision to *wrap* season one with episode #13. I would love to hear from anyone what they liked about Season One, and what they might like to see in Season Two! Ok, back to regularly scheduled programming… Our guest today is my badass friend Cait Maher. Cait is a hairstylist, a quilter and seamstress, and an enthusiastic motorcycle adventurer. I am constantly inspired by Cait, and I think you will be too. Make sure you follow Cait on Instagram @caitmadethat, and you should also follow her quilting journey @caitmade_shop now that she’s got a long-arm quilting machine in her home! ALSO!! To celebrate this milestone, Cait and I are collaborating to give away a quilt! The top is something that I made about 9 years ago. Cait is going to put her own spin on it and finish it for our lucky winner. To be entered, make sure you’re subscribed to our Substack, or go comment on giveaway post on Instagram. As always, many thanks to Zubin Hensler for all the mixing and original music for the show. And of course, you can find us on Instagram and Threads @climbingsidewayspod. Please subscribe, share, and write us a review. I’m also working on postcards, so if you want a handwritten note from me, send me a DM or an email climbingsidewayspod@gmail.com We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with another conversation. Thanks so much. Byeeeeeee This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit climbingsideways.substack.com

    Big Swirling Vortex of Choose Your Next Adventure

    Our guest today is Anna Przy.

Anna really does *all* the things, and our conversation was so much fun! Anna’s ‘Big Dumb Crybaby’ comedy tour has wrapped, but I definitely encourage you to follow her on Instagram @akprzy buy her book, join her Patreon, or sign up for one of her trips!
