The Call of the Wild: Reclaiming Authenticity, Sensuality, Art & Adventure with Wren Morrow

In this episode, Adina and Roberta chat with Wren Morrow. Wren shares her powerful evolution from growing up in purity culture in the South to becoming an outdoor boudoir and erotic adventure photographer in the Pacific Northwest. Her story is one of reclamation—of body, voice, creativity, hope, and self. Wren opens up about breaking away from religious conditioning and learning to trust her own inner guidance, a decision that ultimately led her to relocate from Tennessee to Washington. What began as a personal awakening at age 24 became a full transformation—one that included navigating divorce, confronting shame, and redefining her sense of self and morality. As Wren embraced a new life, she discovered strengths she never knew she had and created a reality she never expected. Her inspirational story emphasizes the value of taking risks and believing in yourself. Now, Wren specializes in outdoor boudoir and erotic adventure photography—creating deeply personal, nature-based experiences where clients are invited to shed layers, reconnect with their bodies, and express authentic emotion. She describes her role as a witness to transformation, holding space as clients move through laughter, tears, sensuality, and liberation. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your instinctual self, embrace your desires, and step into true authenticity... all with joy, awe, and deep gratitude. Wren Morrow is an Outdoor Boudoir and Erotic Adventure Photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. She guides individuals and couples through deeply embodied experiences in wild places. Her art feels whimsical, sensual, playful, and refreshingly candid. Her focus on creating experiences rather than photographs has led to many of her sessions to be used as ritual, or opportunities to be witnessed through transitions, loss, and reclamation of self. She boldly invites her clients to follow her off the beaten path, for in order to be found, one must first get a little lost.  wrenmorrow.com [https://www.wrenmorrow.com/] IG: @_wrenmorrow Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/AdinaArdenCooper] If you enjoyed this episode, please share it.

Waste and Wonder: Finding Beauty, Purpose and Meaning in the Discarded with Mark Schieferstein

In this episode, Adina sits down with salvaged metal artist/figurative painter, Mark Schieferstein for a grounded and inspiring conversation about creativity, sustainability, and forging an artistic path on your own terms. Mark shares his evolution from painter to jewelry maker, revealing how his work with salvaged and repurposed materials became both a creative calling and a practical livelihood. Drawing from a childhood shaped by resourcefulness—where discarded objects were seen as potential rather than waste—he developed a process of transforming industrial remnants into wearable art. Together, they explore the philosophy behind his work: the beauty of reuse, the challenge of working within constraints, and the quiet alchemy of turning what’s been cast off into something meaningful and alive again. Mark offers insight into his creative process, from sourcing materials at scrapyards to refining his designs over time, blending raw elements with thoughtful craftsmanship. The conversation also touches on the realities of being a working artist—navigating rejection, shifting mediums, and finding balance between creative fulfillment and financial sustainability. Mark reflects on his journey through formal art education, his move to Asheville, and how the local landscape and community shaped his direction. At its heart, this episode is about accessibility, resilience, and the belief that art should be part of everyday life—not reserved for galleries, but available, wearable, and woven into the fabric of our daily experience. Listener Takeaway: Creativity doesn’t require pristine materials or perfect conditions. With curiosity and intention, even what’s been discarded can be transformed into something meaningful. This episode is a reminder that art, like life, is often about working with what’s in front of you—and finding beauty in the process. skrapmonkey.com [https://www.skrapmonkey.com/] art-fetish.com [https://art-fetish.com/] IG: @skrapmonkey [https://www.instagram.com/skrapmonkey/] Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/AdinaArdenCooper] If you enjoyed this episode, please share it.
