"This Made Me Think of You" (& The Valley of Doubt)

For today's episode I got to speak with the wonderful Brenna Maag, an absolutely delightful person and artist, about her Camera Illumina: an invitation to notice, an invitation to connect, and about the Valley of Doubt that artists visit when creating and sharing their art. I know I'm going to be coming back to listen to her words frequently for excellent company.  You can find out more about Brenna at  https://www.brennamaag.ca/ [https://www.brennamaag.ca/] https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brennamaagcalendar/this-made-me-think-of-you [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brennamaagcalendar/this-made-me-think-of-you] For the On the Human Spectrum MiniZine we talk about, this link should click open to a fun simple booklet form:)  https://simplebooklet.com/onthehumanspectrumminizinesept2025 [https://simplebooklet.com/onthehumanspectrumminizinesept2025] Send a comment/question to On the Human Spectrum [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2161564/fan_mail/new] https://onthehumanspectrum.org/ [https://onthehumanspectrum.org/]

Leaving the US for France, a (totally unexpected) adventure

My husband and I talk about why we left the US.  I thought that we would focus on the more fun or positive aspects of the move, but of course the feelings of loss and the less fun parts showed up too. That's part of any adventure, isn't it?  Send a comment/question to On the Human Spectrum [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2161564/fan_mail/new] https://onthehumanspectrum.org/ [https://onthehumanspectrum.org/]

International student'ing from Ecuador to Strasbourg, France with Maria Eduarda

For today's episode I got to ask a smart and thoughtful international student Maria Eduarda all about moving from Ecuador to France for college. (I've recently moved from the US to France myself and wonder about how other people make these sorts of decisions.)  I start off curious about the role of encouragement in her decision making, and realize that I was stuck on the role of specific people rather than communities. I was glad to have my view expanded. I really enjoyed our conversation and hope you do too.
