Summary

This is a rerun of a 2019 episode from the archives with author and illustrator Mari Andrew. She is a present observer of her world and has the impressive talent to take her keen observations and translate them into relatable art. Fittingly enough, we ran into each other in the East Village, the neighborhood we both lived at the time, and soon she came over to record. In this conversation, we cover “rejection as protection”, creative routines, money in NYC, feeling raw after breakups, transitions and how they make us fertile for growth, her specific practice of gratitude, and her useful body image advice.

2019 original intro to this episode, which I'm keeping in.

And I'm going to tell you why.

0:58.4

So you'll hear that in a second.

0:59.5

It's very dramatic.

1:06.7

I had just come back from this sad Francis Ha-esque trip to Paris.

1:18.9

And I have to tell you, listening back to not only the introduction, but the entirety of this episode, felt incredibly uncomfortable.

1:26.1

I don't often go back and listen to my old episodes, and I hadn't done it in a while.

1:34.2

And I realized, you know, part of it in this particular interview was the fact that I was jumping around so much in my interviewing, which was really not my best.

1:39.1

And I was able to understand why and remember why, which I maybe wasn't even conscious of then. It was

1:47.2

maybe subconscious. But looking back, two and a half years older and a pandemic later, hopefully

1:55.7

a little bit wiser, I could clearly see that I was, you know, very enthusiastic and excited for this and hoping that

2:05.3

Mari and I would become best friends immediately following the episode. And we were on a time crunch,

2:11.7

and I wasn't expecting that. She had somewhere to be, which is always challenging for me and something I'm working on as an
