We recorded this conversation this last fall (mid October 2023), with no real plan except to press record and see what emerged. What you’ll hear in this “first draft” of an episode is the real first attempt—a little chaotic, a lot heartfelt, and completely unedited.
In this video, you’ll witness the beginning of Jamie and Joan’s collaboration—two voices learning to weave together in a way that felt honest and true. This version of the Intro episode didn’t make it to the public feed—until now.
As we’re between seasons, we wanted to take these next few months to share some special glimpses into our worlds with you—pieces of our histories. This first take reminds us (and hopefully you) that beginnings don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. The work of exploring embodiment and humanity is messy, vulnerable, and imperfect by nature. This podcast is no different.
If you’re a creator, clinician, coach, or human trying to make something real in this world, we hope this unpolished episode reminds you: it’s okay to start before you’re ready. Thanks so much for joining us here!
