What happens when a girl tests positive for Covid-19 & is left for 10 days devoid of any human interaction aside from digital communication? A whimsical little cottagecore podcast apparently!! Welcome friends to this episode where we discuss the meaning of #cottagecore and answer some questions about me. Featuring "Shut-in" by Drench Fries. May this bring some joy & invoke rest in the chaos. 
Blessings of hygge, 
Claire

021: cottagecore, quarantine and questions feat. Drench Fries

What the hell is up with thoughtful lifestyle, slow fashion and art during a global pandemic? I sat down (in a socially distanced manner) with Juliette Laura, a thoughtful lifestyle blogger, photographer, Youtuber, and all-around-cool-gal to answer that very question! May this episode inspire you to slow down, consider ways to have a more ethical wardrobe and encourage artful joy. You'll hear Lip Locked, a new single, by the AMAZING Seattle-based musician ZAHARA. You can listen to her R&B/Soul gold wherever you listen to music.

022: thoughtful lifestyle, slow fashion, and art amidst chaos with Juliette Laura

What the hell was up with 2020? What the hell is up with the direction of Claire's podcast? Today's episode wraps up 2020 by reviewing all of the episodes I made. I spoke with all kinds of artists in 2020 and am so grateful to have shared creative, inspired space with them. I'll harken back to each and every conversation to give you a quick review of 2020 of "what the hell is up". This episode also signals a pause for me to consider a new direction for this podcast. Featuring an inspiring song called "what are you running from?" by Samara Lennoxx feat. Dorothea, Joe August & Afterspace , may you get cozy & inspired yourself!

024: what the hell was up with 2020? A Year in Review

An ex-wannabe-world-changer asks "what the hell is up" with local artists and changemakers. Each episode, I'll chat with artists who offer proof that art has the power to inspire authenticity, community, and change. You'll hear local indie music and conversations that provoke inspiration. I once thought that I had to sacrifice my love of the arts to help change the world, now I believe that beauty and art have the power to connect and change us –maybe more than anything else.
