117. The stories we tell | How our internal narrative shapes our external experience
The way we talk to ourselves (and about ourselves to others) is a big deal. It impacts the way we show up in community and influences the way other people may see themselves. This week, we're talking about the self-talk pitfalls we fall into, why it's so hard to speak kindly, and ways to reframe some of the negative things we keep telling ourselves.
***This will be the last episode until August-ish. We're taking a break during the busy-busy of summer.***

Customer Reviews
I have a confession
I need you to know something but it comes with a confession.
I do not enjoy podcasts. I’ve told people they should listen to this one but… I don’t. 🤦🏼♀️ I feel like a liar. But I want people to love Jo and Madison as much as I do!! I decided to listen to an episode while working. Next thing I knew, three episodes in and telling everyone to be quiet. Haha. I love it! They’re so relatable and the two of them jive so well. I’ll be catching up and listening on the regular 🧡🧡
Also, being local and actually KNOWING these two, they’re so genuine.
Wonderful podcast
Over the last 2 weeks, I have listened to the 30 episodes out so far. This is so much more than I expected. The insights shared not only apply to creativity, but also to life in general. I am especially thankful for episode 7. I had to go back and listen a second time. Thank you to Jo and Madison for sharing your thoughts.
Curiosity and courage
Jo and Madison are witty, fun, and authentic! Their podcast inspires me to grow in both curiosity and courage through creativity. Highly recommend and would totally wear a t-shirt with their logo
