I think I saw you did a fall of the house of usher original but curious if yall watched the limited Netflix (I think…) series cuz it’s pretty great. And I’m saying any of this, realize now to mention…cuz yall mentioned ravens (never more!) just wanted to suggest in case yall hadn’t seen or spoke about. I try to listen thoughtfully but sometimes I end up missing parts/episodes somehow
So I normally listen to these monthly episodes on the subscriber feed, but I realized maybe I should be listening on the public feed (Apple podcasts if it matters) to boost numbers… do you guys prefer that? Not sure if my listen counts either way.
Just before listening to this episode, I was doing my morning pages (Artists Away team represent), which is my own thing that the voice in MY head likes to beat myself up for if I miss or write too little, etc.
In my entry, I was writing about how I’ve noticed that my internal intrusive negative thoughts were creeping back in since being off my meds for the last 4 months (only make this decision with your doctor people.) I decided it was time to accept that I struggle on my own with this way of thinking and it affects my self esteem and those around me I’m SURE and decided to go cut a pill in half and start adjusting to back to being on my citalopram.
Janie, I don’t know if you ever read or did the Artist’s Way but hearing you open up about your intourney, it was such a god damn perfect Artist’s Way moment of feeling myself pop back in line with the creative and universal flow that I stepped out of. Thanks you for sharing those moments. I didn’t expect to arrive at that intjestination (sp?).
Also, I relate to Paul’s comments about beating himself and living in that place his whole life and the way you pumped him and were in his corner reminded me of how much my wife and I do that for each other.
Ok, this comment really got away from me. Didn’t expect to launch my own publication here in your comment section lol
Just wanted to share this quote from James Baldwin--I think it touches on what Janie was struggling with: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
Baldwin was amazing at holding righteous anger and deep empathy side by side.
When Janie said “I’m too tired for anger. Are you?” - first of all, mood. Secondly, all I can picture is that Melanie Trump “I really don’t care. Do u?” jacket 😂
This month’s podcast was a veritable Octoberfest! Thanks for all the laughs. I actually did a spit take when Janie said the word “Influencers” and Paul launched into a rendition of Edwin Starr’s “War.” Hilarious! 😂😂 I’m in the process of submitting Janie’s neologism “ingestination,” to the folks at Merriam-Webster, as 2024’s Word of the Year. That’s just absolutely brilliant, and I intend to insert the term into as many conversations as I can.

This comment is elite.
