Grace
West of Wonderland
Grace, grace, grace. Laura and Bay explore the possibilty of grace as a tool to help us build the world we want to live in, on the other side of this big old mess. How come grace does NOT mean letting someone off the hook? How can we be clear, specific and hold lines for accountability AND stay connected to others? Where is creating a boundary actually an act of grace? And of course, what revenge ideas do you have for Laura (or do you co-sign with glitter poo)? PS.

January's False Starts
West of Wonderland
Why does January feel so insane? We think we're doing everything right for ourselves, and then we usually hit a wall. What are those walls like this time around? How are we being intentional about slowing down to complete the year of the snake, before the next one kicks into gear in February? PS.

Winter Cuts to the Core
West of Wonderland
Laura and Bay talk new year shenanigans, even though they're adamant that this is not the time of year to push, rush or take a ton of action! Winter is for slowing down! That said, we can allow ideas to germinate, allow time for reflection, and set ourselves up for the coming seasons. What planners are we buying! What techniques are we using for vision boarding! How much are we crying about winter, why and how can we create a more nourishing experience of this challenging season? PS.

Laura and The Little Sister Debut Show
West of Wonderland
Turns out that there is a section in the West of Wonderland theme park that is vaguely French-themed. This episode is jam packed with important questions and stories, such as: what kind of footwear do you wear when you're sightseeing and/or at a Disney Park? What was it like for Laura to approach and play the first ever show with her band, Little Sister? It also turns out that when dreams become something real, it can mess us up a bit, in a positive direction and show us new textures of our being.
