give space with Isabella Preisz

Ciara (they/she) reads us their original poem that they wrote in 30 minutes, in their backyard, during the summer of 2020. And it hits. Hard. We start out with a conversation about their process and how they felt writing this piece. As an artist, writer, and all around multi-media creator, she reflects on how it feels to create her art for herself vs. how she feels when she shares with an online space. They also speak on performative allyship, hyper-visibility, and taking time to learn how to be more intentional when adding our voices to the mix. Ciara reminds us sit in the discomfort, surrender, and be ok with allowing change to be intentional and incremental.

If you're craving a conversation about what it's like to navigate life as a post-undergraduate who is thinking about: fear, dating, being politically active, how to stop working for free, climate change, and/or just what it means to be a human right now — this episode is for YOU. Kate's words are genuinely so healing in this moment. She teaches how to get out of our own way and just do the damn thing that we call living! She reminds us to step into our power and stop making ourselves small. Recording this episode charged me up with so much incredible energy. You will not regret this listen. Trigger warning: In this episode, Kate mentions her thoughts surrounding her experience with recovering from an eating disorder. Please be advised.

Welcome to the first episode in the "Art of..." series. This is a vulnerable space dedicated to turning my deepest thoughts, fears, and ideas into an ongoing conversation instead of accepting silence and stagnation. In this inaugural episode, I talk about the ways in which doubt has showed and stopped me in my tracks. I tell a couple intimate stories about what it was like to be 18 and sharing some of my deepest, and wildest thoughts with an online community. I end with a conversation about how doubt shows up when I compare myself to my peers.

In this episode, my partner-human-person (Phillip Soulliere) & I sip some Stella & talk about what it has been like to navigate beginning a relationship during a global pandemic. This episode is corky and silly, but also pretty vulnerable. Phil starts us off by talking about his greatest lesson learned during 2020 as a freelance artist maneuvering the pandemic as well as what it was like growing up in the Coachella Valley. We retell our origin story & jump into a sweet & expansive Q + A portion where we share what it feels like to support each other's dreams, navigate boundaries, & what our favorite / least favorite qualities are about each other. We end with a sweet & simple & yet compelling question about age & power dynamics in a heteronormative relationship. Woohoo! Happy listening!
