A lil something for the times when you wanna pick up the phone and call someone. My friends and I are asking each other the tough (and tinder) questions. Tune in and join the conversation. We’ll be talking about any and everything.
In this episode of Phone a Friend, I’m joined by the multi-talented Gabrielle Brooks. We dive right in with a discussion about identity and self-perception, touching on the challenges of labeling oneself as an artist. Around [09:30], Gabrielle explores the concept of art as a reflection of life and its political implications, sharing an intriguing story about a controversial art installation. We get into the role of photography in capturing unseen moments at [19:00], and by [28:40], we’re discussing how memories and past relationships shape us. Gabrielle reflects on what they want to be remembered for at [38:50], before we wrap up with some thoughts on how presence and absence are perceived by others.

New Phone, Who Dis? w/ Josh O.
In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Francis The Truman. We kick things off by chopping it up about tea for the first 10 minutes, which naturally leads us into a brief convo on flexibility. From there, we dive into the challenges of balancing creativity and delegation, especially when you have a strong creative vision.
We chat about the importance of self-care and reflection, and how embracing your emotions can harness some powerful energy. Francis shares his thoughts on the power of the pen and the tongue, revealing how setting intentions and casting spells are really one and the same.
We also explore the deep connection between art and energy, the art of vulnerability, and wrap things up with some great methods of replenishment to stay inspired and energized. Tune in for an insightful and relaxed conversation with Francis that blends creativity, self-discovery, and the magic of artistic expression.
