In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actress, podcaster, and beauty maven Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins about how we all can benefit from a ‘hot girl walk’, the act of surrendering, and falling in love with New York City again.
Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – racist backlash over The Lord of The Rings series on Amazon, and the state of Texas sending students home with DNA kits so their bodies can be identified “in case of emergency.” They also share their antidote: an overnight mask and showering at night.
This week’s Creative Tap-In:
“A creative life is an amplified life.”
-Elizabeth Gilbert
