From sunbathing to surrendering...

Phoebe Gander & Julie Battisti
About this episode

Woohoo! We’re back after a two week break - a break that almost broke Julie! We really missed recording and chatting to each other, and had so much to tell each other that this episode ended up just being a ‘catch up’ chat, rather than the Q&A episode we had planned (that will be coming next week instead). We hope you enjoy this informal, funny chat that’s even less structured or professional than ever!

We discuss holidaying with kids and how challenging the reality of it can be, almost as challenging as saying the word “Worcestershire”! Julie is also struggling to name her upcoming exhibition, but shares how every cloud has a silver lining - her Fiji cloud photos have sparked a new creative direction…Phoebe updates us about her ‘fwobble’ and talks about how letting go of her word of the year has led to some surprising things happening. She also shares about a new venture that is out of her comfort zone - but she’s facing the fear and doing it anyway!

We hope you enjoy!
