Yes Ma'am! A Comedy Podcast for Creative Recovery

WEEK 2 | In Which We Rest in Real Time

This week we’re asking a radical question: what if we rested? Like… for real? 😳 How much rest can a person actually get? Can you bring rest with you instead of waiting for later? And if we all did that, would society immediately collapse or would everything actually be better? We also tackle the important questions:  ⚔️ Who is your Xena: Warrior Princess?  🤝 What’s a loose connections?  💔 Is avoiding loose connections part of what’s making us all feel so lonely?  🌸 How do we stay soft and open in a world that keeps giving us reasons not to?  📬 And honestly, how are you supposed to receive anything if you’re closed all the time? All this and much more as Anna and Sarah continue their quest to ask way more questions than they answer. Tune in! Rest a little!  We love you. 💛💜💛💜💛💜  References:  Hidden Brain: "Relationships 2.0: The Power of Tiny Interactions + Your Questions Answered: Erica Bailey on Authenticity [https://www.hiddenbrain.org/podcast/relationships-2-0-the-power-of-tiny-interactions/]" 'Reluctant Psychonaut' Michael Pollan Embraces The 'New Science' Of Psychedelics [https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/05/15/611225541/reluctant-psychonaut-michael-pollan-embraces-the-new-science-of-psychedelics] Hudson Warren: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/hudson-warren-948a5b8/] Realtor at Keller Williams Realty and Coach The Moth Radio Hour [https://themoth.org/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/support] @yesmaampod

WEEK 1 | In Which We Just START. NOW!

Okay lovies… it’s Week 1. Again. And honestly? Aren’t you kind of scared all the time too? Cool. Same. This week we’re diving into fear, blurts (WHAT are those and why are our brains doing them??), and the deeply unsettling realization that adults apparently have to learn how to play again. Why is play so hard?  Why does creativity make us feel exposed?  And why does every life risk feel like we’re emotionally streaking through traffic? 🚗💨 We unpack all that and a bunch of other weird little truths as we crack open Week 1 of The Artist’s Way for Season 2. Come along. We’re scared, but we’re doing it anyway. 💖 We love you.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/support] @yesmaampod

WEEK 0 | In Which We Do It Again!

Season 2: In Which We Do It Again  Oh wow! We’re back! And guess what… we’re doing The Artist’s Way. Again. WHAT. Here’s the deal: theory doesn’t actually matter. It’s the practice. And apparently, we need more of it. So here we are, back in it, and we’re ready to see what happens when we actually show up again. In this intro episode, we recap what The Artist’s Way even is (for the newbies), what Morning Pages actually are, and what counts as an Artist Date (spoiler: more than you think). Then we each pick a WORD for the season! . As always, the invitation is to follow along.  I mean… what else were you going to do this summer? We love you.  💛💜💛💜💛💜 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/support] @yesmaampod

BONUS EPISODE | Actually just HAVE A NAP

BONUS EP ALERT Surprise! We’re dropping a little bonus episode! We recorded it at our holiday party actually. Think of this episode as part reflection, part Season 2 teaser, and part cozy corner to hide in when you just need a break from ALL THE THINGS. Because same. Did we plan to release it between Christmas and New Years? Yes. Did life, holidays, and a million things get in the way? Also yes. But hey—we’re not perfectionists! We’re sending it anyway! So here it is. Late but still delightful. Come take a breath with us. Then get back OUT THERE. We love you. 💛💜💛💜💛💜 References: Check out our Interlude Episode [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/episodes/16913612-week-in-which-we-interlude]  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/support] @yesmaampod

Post-Lude: In Which We Debrief

We did it. We actually did The Artist’s Way! We read all the words in all the chapters—with our eyes and ears. And now?  It’s time to debrief! In this post-lude season 1 finale, we’re pulling back the curtain and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to make a podcast while doing The Artist’s Way. Then we answer five burning questions (you know, so we can stay on track!) 1. What surprised us the most about ourselves during this process? 2. Which week or concept hit the hardest—and why? 3. What are we still struggling with, even after 12 weeks? 4. How has our creative process or identity changed since starting? 5. And if we could give one piece of advice to our Week 1 selves… what would we say? Come celebrate with us! Reflect with us! And stay tuned for WHAT'S NEXT!  Because we’re definitely doing it again. We love you.  💛💜💛💜💛💜 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414166/support] @yesmaampod
