The Mean Show: Get older, stay cool
Episode 23: Psychotherapist, artist, jewelry-maker, podcaster, mom—yes she's just one person
I’m very excited to welcome to the podcast Lisa Anderson Shaffer, who is the definition of multi talented. We met years ago at her booth at West Coast Craft where she was selling her gorgeous handmade woven necklaces. I remember we had a connection and chatted for a while—I was impressed by her work and she was down to earth and super friendly. So it's no surprise that our worlds are still entwined (I was on her podcast Biased Cuts recently!) many years later.But when we first met I naively thought her jewelry business, Zelma Rose, was her main gig. What I didn’t know was that she is also a psychotherapist who has worked with AIDS patients and teens in crisis, that she would go on to publish her book and photography project These Three Things as well as launch TWO podcasts. Oh and she’s also an activist, check out the post she wrote for Mean Magazine about how to get started if you’re finally fed up with the state of affairs in our country and really how could you not be?Anyway, the really cool thing about this episode is that Lisa spells out how all of these seemingly disparate interests and activities fit together seamlessly—much like one of her woven necklaces. See what I did there yes it was intended!Related Links:Lisa Anderson ShafferZelma RoseThese Three ThingsJoy is Now podcastBiased Cuts podcastSo you want to be an activistWest Coast CraftLisa on Instagram Zelma Rose on Instagram Biased Cuts on Instagram
