We stumbled upon I am Lost and Found on Google and discovered the talent of Jamie Edwards, a writer and photographer who inspires travel.

Jamie Edwards is an ardent sharer of her favorite experiences. Her writing aims to transport people to destinations so they feel right there with her as she waits for the perfect shot.

In the literal sense, travel has taken Jamie to far corners of the Earth—from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic continent. In her travels, she bungee-jumped in New Zealand, climbed the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan, and tracked silverback gorillas in Uganda.

Jamie will join us for seasonal conversations to share her experiences about the places she's been, hoping it inspires others to travel, too.

We are on a journey with color.

On the Luxuries for the Soul website, we design limited-edition fine jewelry collections inspired by color, crystal, and Feng Shui. This small bite episode is a Lesson in Luxury on color psychology and the spiritual, legend, and lore representing a specific hue.

The Mocha Mousse Collection, inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year®, is a retreat to the sacred space within, a place to plant seeds of healing and rebirth for a grounded, inspired, and inclusive future for all.

According to Feng Shui, the Bagua, an ancient energetic map, is divided into nine sections, each representing a specific aspect of life, activated by colors and supporting elements.

Mocha Mousse represents the Earth Element, which nurtures and supports growth. Gemstones possess potent healing properties, amplify your deliberate choice to manifest, and, when worn, harmonize your inner and outer worlds.

Indulge in a consultation, acquire a powerful talisman, and pamper yourself with Luxuries for the Soul. You deserve it.

Enjoy this gentle and meaningful conversation with Marie Bowser, a Licensed Acupuncturist, Feng Shui practitioner, and expert in working with the five elements. We discuss living in attunement with the seasons for finding your way of ease through more rest with fewer plans for a more discerning 2025.

Marie encountered Chinese Medicine through her health journey dealing with corporate stress, burnout, and hormone imbalance. The relief she experienced fueled a vision for helping others and a complete career change.

Her studies and continuing education eventually brought her deeper into the spiritual aspects of the five elements—qigong, Daoism, the I Ching, Nine Star Ki astrology, and Feng Shui—all of which she uses to help her patients and community develop and sustain self-compassion and empowerment and the unwavering ability to move lingering stagnation through their bodies, spirits, and lives.

Today, Julie Flakstad of The Midlife Truth Project joins us for a seasonal conversation about more midlife truths.

If you haven't "met" Julie through our original episode, her links are below. In today's conversation, we cover the ache of letting go, holding onto expectations in parenting and relationships, the changing role of families, and so much more.

The Midlife Truth Project was originally a series of interviews, a time capsule of thoughts and feelings about women's experiences at the intersection of their 40s and 50s. Now, these vulnerable shared truths from the Midlife Truth Project, a cross-generational portal of wisdom, help normalize and reframe what aging looks like today.

Just like you, Julie wears many hats in her daily life, including the new role of producer. In midlife, she has chosen to lead intentionally by surrounding herself with people and experiences that trigger ideas and spark conversation on her new podcast, The Midlife Truth Project.

If evolving friendships, changing family dynamics, financial security, ever-changing body awareness in the physical and spiritual sense, hormones, or sex have caught you in a riptide, give yourself permission to be heard, reflect, laugh, and maybe even cry because that's good, too.

We invite you to follow and befriend Julie of The Midlife Truth Project. Learn More about The Midlife Truth Project:

Look for the "fight" post in an upcoming journal entry.

We reviewed Claire Dederer's "Monsters, a Fan's Dilemma." If you still need to read it, we have linked the original article that inspired this book to a journal entry on our website. But in this episode, Alexis Kletjian reads passages from "Monsters," so you can easily follow along.

Our favorite chapter was about "The Fan," exploring the role of fandom and its consequences while diving into the complexities of artistic appreciation and the challenge of sidestepping ownership as the audience.

Lauren Golt, a bonafide film connoisseur, leads a chapter dedicated to Woody Allen. Towards the end, she questions whether artists can achieve redemption for their monstrous acts, especially in the context of surviving cancel culture. Her passion for cinema has inspired her to create Bar Reverie's CINEMONDAYS, a monthly event series at her restaurant where she curates film screenings.

This episode is full of contemplative pauses as we question ourselves and each other. The question remains: what do we do with the art of monstrous men?
