This week’s episode is a little different as it is just Eileen and Amy. Every 4th episode of this podcast will be with just us as we dive a little deeper into the themes from previous episodes, our own journeys (answering questions from our list we provide our guests) and anopportunity for us to widen the lens of the dancer and movement artist experience through our expertise in working with bodies for a combined almost 40 years. Episode 4 happened to be really rich with expanded dialogue…we promise we always circle back to the initial question or focused theme…so we decided to split it into 2 parts. They are not even in length of time but more in topics we discussed.

Part 1 focuses a bit more on Amy.
Part 2 focuses a bit more on Eileen.

In Part 2, we also discuss a bit more about our two previous episode interviews with Kristen Brooks Sandler (Episode 2) and Tony Nguyen (Episode 3).

A couple things to note in Part 2: Eileen does mention some, potentially, activating topics surrounding the safety of her body…please take care of yourself (she does give an “activation warning” heads up right before she mentions a couple sensitive topics). There is also a point towards the end of Part 2 where Amy mentions that it’s 222. Eileen's sister, Katie, who died by suicide in 2019 consistently sends Eileen signs and one of them is the number 222. Our recording went much longer than expected that day and while we were finishing up the episode, Amy made sure to point out the time. So we took a moment to say hi to Eileen's sister. If you or anyone you know needs support, there are some resources in the bottom of the show notes. You are not alone.

There is also a mention of Julia Cameron's book "The Artist's Way" during this episode. You can learn more about it here: https://a.co/d/cwImCFz
