The person we want to spend the most time with and we care the most about doesn’t get to see the best version of ourselves.” --- Josh, quoting Stasia “That’s the cool thing about podcasting. You get to have these deep conversations.” --- Josh “Before these couples even get into [their creative project], they recognize their complementary skillsets.” --- Stasia “If I have to pay taxes to the federal government with anyone, I’m glad it’s with you.” --- Abbie “The last thing social media should ever be is a point of contention.” --- Josh On growing an engaged social media following: “Don’t be a jerk.” --- Josh “By being yourself, you’re more inclined to connect with the people you want to connect with.” --- Stasia “I just really try to share authentically the stories that I care about.” --- Josh “I use Instagram as a very curated version of how I see things.” --- Josh “You Instagram is your space to do what you want with it.” --- Stasia “Ultimately you have to understand what that means. If being you is that you just want to share what’s important to you, you also have to know that it’s okay if maybe your account doesn’t grow, or maybe you don’t get the same numbers other people do. But that’s okay, because the people that do come through are really quality people in your life.” --- Josh “I put myself in this box of creative versus not creative. This year, I basically said I’m not going to think of myself this way anymore.” --- Stasia “I just wanted to let myself out of my internal noncreative box I had put myself in.” --- Stasia “You almost have to give yourself permission to let yourself explore [your creative passions].” --- Stasia “Your creativity can look wildly different from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t count or it’s not valid.” --- Ashley “There were always some topics I never used to write about because I was afraid of what would happen if I did.” --- Abbigail Mini Book Club Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Will It Fly? by Pat Flynn A View of the Lake by Beryl Singleton Bissell The Long-Shining Waters by Danielle Sosin Roots &amp; Sky by Christie Purifoy The Anne of Green Gables series
