I Remember: When Girls Rule the World with Arwen Evans and Ashley Wheelock 20:14

20:14

I this I Remember interview, I'm speaking with the talented, lovely sister team of Arwen Evans and Ashley Wheelock, authors of the amazing children's book, We Toot . As I’m sure you’ve noticed, children’s books targeted to girls – all pinks, princesses and ponies – haven’t kept pace with the women’s movement or evolving gender expectations. That’s why these women wrote We Toot , a feminist fable about farting. Yep, We Toot is a fart-joke laden whodunit with a powerful message of body positivity, self-acceptance and female friendship. The short picture book features a diverse cast of quirky girls, inspired by our five girls and their friends. As you will hear in today's interview, Ashley's and Arwen's moments of connection, individually and as sisters, led them to a place where the creation of this book answered a purpose they held in the hearts - to help all little girls grow up proud of their amazing bodies and all that they can do. Kirkus reviewed We Toot and said, "Sure to provoke giggles, this delightful tale also helps girls to revel in their bodies." Check out We Toot's fun video trailer to get a feel for this book and its story, and then get the little girl in your life a copy at Amazon . 10% of all profits go to Girls, Inc. Pass the We Toot message along by posting a picture of your little girl holding We Toot or even better post her giving a video review on your IG and FB accounts so she can share what she thinks about tooting! Tag it with @wheelock.ashley @arwenhanna @sandiesonke @houseoftomorrowbooks and let's change the world one toot at a time.…

I Remember: Creating a Sacred Space with Katie Swatland 18:03

18:03

In this episode I'm speaking with artist Katie Swatland about the importance of making time to create stillness and connect to the creativity that lives within. After years of crafting her art, Katie found herself far from the initial spark that inspired her to set out on the journey to learn to paint in the first place. She was disconnected from her own internal compass, and wished to reconnect with the sacred space within and finally bring together a collection of paintings that had been living in her imagination. Katie knew that if she were able to create from a sacred space, something drastic had to be done. So she began a journey inward. She turned her phone off, put up an automatic ‘out of office’ reply on her email, withdrew from social media, friends, family and colleagues, and focused solely on her art and allowed herself time to explore without distraction or outside influence. Think Eat, Pray, Love at home! Today, Katie has re-opened her studio doors, and is sharing her complete collection, ‘Alchemy Visions.’ As she brings the final three paintings into being, the reasons why she felt so passionate to dedicate herself to the creation of this collection will be revealed. Her hope is that they may offer a contribution, even in the smallest way, that will prove helpful to others. Katie believes, and I agree, they we are all in this journey of life together. Her hope is that her work will contribute in a way to benefit the greater whole. You can follow Katie, and be inspired, on her Instagram account and Facebook, and watch her work in progress on YouTube.…
