Writing Books and Wishing for a Frasier Christmas Special with Amy Spalding

Ashley is back! She talks about the hardships of writing during a family vacation and her excitement for writing goals for the future, while Amber talks about a peacock embroidery she made!

Declarations of Intent for the New Year and Embroidered Peacocks

Since Ashley is out of town, we are graced by the presence of the very special Chris Grace! Chris talks all about his naturally low anxiety levels, how journaling has made a difference in his life, and finding ways to like life right where you are. Amber also takes Chris on a 50 Shades! The Musical tangent with slight rants about the madness of the acting industry (especially in comparison to the easy world of computer science!). Listen to Chris on his many wonderful podcasts: Open Call, The Setup, and Rule of Threes!

Naturally Low Anxiety and Acting Rants - with Chris Grace!

A Caper Caper

A happy week! Ashley is very busy with her many, many hours long acting class but gains a lot of insight (including her apparent baking love and 35 year marriage).

Long Acting Classes and a 180 on Ireland

This week, Amber and Ashley technically did their goals but also technically did a lot of nothing over Thanksgiving break. Amber is much less morose than normal other than a brief discussion of the anxiety that comes with free time and Ashley made her list of agents and is ready to take the next not-so-fun-but-sadly-necessary step in her agent seeking goals.

Reading, Flying, and Worrying About Parties

This week, Ashley is still traveling the world, so Amber does a little solo episode about why she's a failure.

Why I'm A Failure

This week, Ashley hits two goals by eating less meat and taking her first acting class. Will she decide to take a six hour acting class?
