Andrew's challenge was: Take one deep breath a day. He did and found that it helped with relaxation and composure. Drew's also watching/listening to the Abraham Hicks meditations.
Lianne's challenge was: Act on one whim a day. I was a bit 'challenged' by the totally normal times, but it worked well. It is very satisfying!

30 Day Challenge
- Andrew's challenge was: Take one deep breath a day. He did and found that it helped with relaxation and composure. Drew's also watching/listening to the Abraham Hicks meditations.
- Lianne's challenge was: Act on one whim a day. I was a bit 'challenged' by the totally normal times, but it worked well. It is very satisfying!
- Next 30-day challenge for both of us: the Morning Pages from The Artist's Way!
Book of the Month
This month Drew and I discussed The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron!
It is a book published 25 years ago by Julia Cameron, who has an impressive body of work of mostly non-fiction, but also some fiction and screenplays.
It's currently 12$ on Amazon and 18€ on bol.com, but we've mainly included these links so you can read about the book: If you're able to, buy your book at the bookstore near you so we will still have bookstores in the future!
The main things Drew and I got out of The Artist's Way?
- The Morning Pages: Every morning you write 3 pages in a journal, stream-of-consciousness. Chris Winfield explains it fairly well right here. Andrew and I are doing this for our 30-day challenge for the next podcast, so we can talk a little more in-depth about the actual experience.
- The Artist's Date: A recommended 2-hour period dedicated to a creative project. You can find more information about that here!
Julia Cameron is a very talented writer, so we also talk about her beautiful style (which makes sense because practicing every morning with the morning pages definitely helps) and the inspiration you can find in this book for creativity in your life, in whatever shape or form most suits you!
Pop Culture Pleasures
- Rain on me by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande: Drew and I are SUCKERS for a good pop song!
- Never Have I Ever on Netflix: A wonderfully inclusive-but-not-just-for-the-sake-of-it show about growing up.
- Booksmart on Amazon Prime
- Watching the Avenger Movies in order during the Totally Normal Times. Ha.
- Lindsay Ellis - Why is Cats? (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6iqAip-ZNo
- John Oliver thirsty for Adam Driver (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui21LSf9aLc
- Knifes Out - Movie (go watch)
Obsessions
- Technically this might still be pop culture, but I talk about my deep dive in the history of the production of Star Wars movies, particularly 7,8 and 9 who seem to have made PRETTY FUCKING SEPARATELY despite the intended trilogy they were supposed to be.
