S2|E2 [P2] Designer Soup Studio x Amber Jenkins of HomeBabe
PART TWO E2
...
Amanda and Amber are back again stirring up an adventure-length conversation; from what has been happening in life as of late, then developing deeper into the topic of mental health and healing.
Mental health and healing was the most requested topic on the Spotify Poll in our previous podcast. Which, if you have not yet listened to it basically gives a good introduction of who we are and why we started this co-hosting series.
Mental health and healing are a big topics for Amanda and Amber. Everyone can benefit from hearing niche perspectives on how to navigate through the dark/shadowy sides and times of life. Amanda and Amber have tons of shadow/ego/dark nights of the soul experiences to discuss, haha. Like many others out there, to all the humans of the world, we just want to share our (often times vulnerable) experiences and how we managed to keep our heads above the turbulent waters.
There is a PART ONE and PART TWO with this episode. So, let the listening marathon begin!
Future topics for this podcast you can expect to hear us talk more of:
- Design
- Style
-Health
-Friendship’s and Family
-Business/Marketing
-Future/Current Trends
-New Hobbies
-Mental Health/Healing/Subconscious etc.
-Of Course, Astrology!
Nothing really is off the table. We are just two friends sharing our thoughts and experiences. Stay tuned for more episodes to arrive each month!

Design + Conformity in a (Very) Virtual Life
When looking at the way designs are created in the widest category of things, you have to ask— Are we Designing or are we Trending? What is more important in Virtual Life. In this podcast, I run through just a breakdown of the title through definitions from my perspective as Designer Soup Studio. Gesturing my vague memory correlation of using statistics, pValues, and linear regression analysis while generally defining Design, Conformity, Conventional, and Virtual as individual components. Then I utilize their antonyms to see the other side of the perspective that is being looked at. An interesting conversation. Hope you all enjoy it; let me know your thoughts in the end. Are we designing or are we trending?

John Henry Part 1
We are super excited to have our very first guest speaker on the podcast, John Henry Sisk owner of John Henry, LLC a Residential Construction Firm out of Washington, DC. After having a few virtual conversations with JH it was totally apparent to me that he is truly forward thinking in terms of residential living and the American row home in DC. I nickname him the Diamond of DC because he pushes himself through design discovery and pressurizes a ton of knowledge, that once you get into conversation with him, it shines like a diamond!

Then, needing to craft that language into a communication that can to be put simply for someone, or in Layman’s Terms. We discuss many points that, of course, always tie back into design in some way. Listen in and hear what we have to say!
