Welcome back Beth Pickens! My favorite art consultant, art counselor & lesbian-feminist  money coach (she&apos;s a Capricorn too!) We celebrate her new book “Make Your Art No Matter What: Moving Beyond Creative Hurdles” and discuss some of its core topics — money, time, fear, grief, isolation, education, and asking for what you want. Listen for a chance to win your own copy! Beth shares tons of tips to enhance your experience of both your art and your life. Investing time and money into yourself, distinguishing isolation from solitude, and warming up for your own creative practice are all talked about. We also explore staying connected to stillness while an abundance of ways to spend time become available to us. Beth gives advice to artists with common fears like experiencing disappointment while pitching and avoiding promoting your completed projects. Beth says, “For artists, the hard thing is not attaining goals, getting the grant or getting the opportunity or the show or whatever, the hard thing is being present for it and actually enjoying it.”She reminds us all, "We can’t solve interior situations with exterior things!" Follow Beth, buy her book & listen to her podcast. (Some LA libraries also have the book!)  Tierney Talks is engineered & edited by Margot Padilla + hosted & produced by Tierney Finster.  Subscribe to the show wherever you&apos;re listening.  Our show music is "Let Me Love You" by Dis Fantasy.

Alissa Nutting talks about adapting her novel "Made For Love" into a TV series and reflects on writing her singular first novel "Tampa" almost nine years after its release.

Toward the end, I endorse a new drugstore lip product, share the perfect spring coffee order, gush about the documentary "Naughty Books" and more.

Niko Karamyan (@nikotheikon), Saturn (@saturnrisin9) and Katrina Kemp (@kueenkatrina) join us after watching "Framing Britney," the new New York Times documentary about Britney Spears. Saturn decodes Britney's ability to use performance as protest, Katrina recounts spending time with Britney and paparazzi in the Valley as a high-school stan and Niko raises questions about the role of the rose imagery in Britney's quest for autonomy. We discuss our emotional responses to the doc, explore what else we wish it would have touched on and tell precious Britney stories (including an epic dance battle). Also: the sick connection between Amanda Bynes and Jamie Lynn Spears (trigger warning!), the way Britney's torturous predicament led to the creation of a personal space bubble law in LA  and the Felicia Culotta of it all.  Katrina pulls an oracle card for the #FreeBritney movement. "Look at what white men do to their daughters," Saturn says, summarizing it all. Recorded on the anniversary of Anna Nicole Smith's death, we love you Anna!

Erin Taj joins us to share astrological knowledge juicy enough for beginners and devotees alike. Taj breaks down fixed, mutable and cardinal signals, explains astrology as geometry and defines what houses mean in the context of your natal chart. She teaches what having planets “conjunct” and “square” one another means, expands on popular misconceptions of rising signs and discusses favorite parts of her own astrological makeup. Saturn Return, synastry and generational forecasting based on Pluto are also hot topics. “No one owns astrology,” Taj says, “It’s embedded in us to be curious.” Write to Tierney -- tierneytierneytierneytalks@gmail.com Our show music is "Let Me Love You" by Dis Fantasy.

Saturn Return & Synastry w/ Astrologer Erin Taj

Jane Ward is a feminist scholar and author of the books “Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men” and “Respectably Queer.” She teaches gender and sexuality studies at UC Riverside, specializing in feminist, queer and heterosexuality studies and creating “scholarship for the feminist revolution.” Jane joins Tierney to discuss her new book “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality,” a “lesbian feminist diagnosis” of heterosexuality that exposes the realities of heterosexual culture while encouraging its development into something deeper, more loving and less violent. Jane declares herself an ally to straight people as “they work to liberate heterosexuality from misogyny.” She’s an expert at revealing how weird most “normative” cultures and social identities tend to be. In this book, Jane contextualizes heterosexuality as the romantic arm of patriarchy and details how the heterosexual advice industry has been trying to help men and women in this country survive their marriages for the last 100+ years (not all that successfully, either). Do you want a chance to acknowledge queer people as allies to straight people, especially straight women experiencing romantic discontent, instead of vice versa? How about a celebration of the immeasurable contributions lesbians have made to the mainstream feminist movement? Listen to this and more importantly, read the book! Ward quotes Edith Massey as Aunt Ida in John Waters’ “Female Trouble” several times: “The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life.” No matter who you are or who you’re attracted to, Ward’s work has tons to offer you! “As with the often nebulous racial category of whiteness, one of the ways that we avoid looking critically at straightness is to keep it indefinable, to imagine that it is so vast and irreducible to any one way of being,” Ward writes in the book. Buy “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality” from NYU Press today - https://nyupress.org/9781479851553/the-tragedy-of-heterosexuality/Follow Jane Ward on Twitter @thequeerjane and check out https://www.janewardphd.com/.To enter to win a copy of “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality,” please follow these instructions: Listen to this conversation with Jane Ward in full ASAPSelect a quote, topic, theme or question from our conversation that inspires, arouses or interests you the most and jot it down. Subscribe to or follow the podcast!Email your selection/reflection and a screenshot of your subscription to tierneytierneytierneytalks@gmail.com before 10/24/20TWO winners will be selected via a completely random name picker and notified via email Tuesday, 10/27/20. Note: There is no minimum or maximum word count for your reflections, and your entry won’t be judged based on the content or “quality” of your share.

Niko the Ikon is an artist and actor in L.A. Join us for a moody quarantine phone call. We invite you to eavesdrop. We discuss creating harmony between you and your living space and bringing intentionality to your interiors. We also alk about bringing love into day-to-day-life and how this time at home feels like a return to our pre-teen lives and friendship. “I’ve been living in a way that I thought was long gone,” Niko tells me. Niko motivates me to clean. We trip out on our relationship to time and space and reflect on sitting at home, spending time alone and how not being a fake bitch is a superpower. We meditate on the wealth of what we’ve shared together as long-time friends and get into cybersex, physical touch and healing our heart chakras. We talk about trusting ourselves, trusting our friends and how the shifting culture around mental health has impacted our relationship. Increasing our permission to be emotionally honest as we go. We encourage every actor to hold tight to their dream and laugh about auditioning within the limited casting lanes of mainstream media. Niko asks: “Why is it so often that we’re not allowed to be ourselves?”We recorded this on the 105th commemoration of the Armenian Genocide (April 24) and reflect on the strength of the Armenian diaspora. “Oppression always backfires,” Niko tells me. “The more we deny these things, the easier we make it for the atrocious to be repeated; what a century of denial says is, ‘You can get away with this.’” This episode is best enjoyed alongside cannabis (tea, aromatherapy, sunshine, and long-form bathing rituals are great too!) Follow Niko on IG @nikotheikon + Tierney @TSTAR7 and subscribe to the show to get the next episode early.

Andrea Amez is a holistic esthetician, transformational glow-up practitioner and product concierge. Tierney talks to Andrea about taking care of herself while quarantining at home, opening her own skin studio in LA and infusing some expert know-how into your daily skin and beauty rituals. Andrea talks about avoiding obsessive self-grooming, reading your body by paying attention to inflammation and keeping centered as a self-employed person and small business owner amid economic uncertainty. Together they discuss beauty acquisitions and brands that plummet in quality after being acquired, the legend of Olaplex, and the mass beauty culture shift currently happening as people can’t maintain their fillers, extensions and other aesthetic treatments. They also talk about trying cannabis sheet masks and skincare and using CBD tinctures meant for consumption as a topical face treatment. Tierney reveals the beauty products she’s bought online while staying at home, including a certain cult-favorite hair supplement whose infomercial she loves, reflects on beauty rituals as “prayer” instead of “proof,” and shares a short beauty-inspired reading list. Andrea explains avoiding talc in makeup and body products, paying attention to product expiration dates and vetting the use of supplements to increase immunity. She also dishes about meeting her fiance at the Aesop store, bonding over Carol&apos;s Daughter hair products and proposing to him in Japan.Andrea answers listener questions like: How can I reduce my redness and inflammation? What are the best foods for detoxifying your skin? What drug-store products will make for the best impromptu at-home facial? What is the best way to treat a breakout without picking it? What kind of masks and treatments can I whip up at home? How and why should I make my health and beauty routines more “experiential?” Does using a silk pillowcase really make a difference on hair and skin? What can hospital workers use to prevent skin friction from constant mask-wearing? How do I use a gua-sha tool? There’s also a celebration of Earth Day and the New Moon :) Follow Andrea @amez_pro and check out http://www.amezskin.com/ and follow Tierney @tstar7.  Tierney Talks proposes you consider matching any money you spend on beauty non-essentials with donations to individuals and organizations.
