Buckle up, y'all! ;) Jen is joined by the fantastic Lo Shabino! Lo started her creative journey by going to university for sculpture and is now a master stylist, salon owner, educator, and coach.
They dive into that part of her life along with career learnings from Lo's perspective as well as insights Jen has collected in her time working in tech and startups.
They also go on many...let's call them side quests. Two besties chatting, if you will. Grab your WIP and join 'em, makers!

Hey, buds! This week on Making Conversation, Jen is joined by Carrie. The theme that poppies up in this episode also blooms throughout this month's BRIGHT Collective e-zine.
They cover the ins and outs of city foraging, go on a journey that begins at the intersection of florals in art and feminism, and then round out the episode with some facts about the California Superbloom.

We believe that the simple act of making can transform your life and in turn change our world. This is why Making exists. It all starts with inspiration. Weâre inspired by people, by places, by experiencesâa beautiful photo, a soft wool, a kind heart. These are the things that motivate us to make.Making is here to disrupt systemsâsystems of oppression, systems that only benefit certain groups of people, and systems that extract. Weâre here to challenge the narrative of profit over people. We believe a company can be founded for the purpose of good and change the world for better, while also creating opportunity at scale. Makers are tired of the monoliths. The few companies that comprise our only choices of how we connect, how we transact, and how we learn.
Makers are ready for a better alternative and that is what we are building.

Iâm your host Ashley Yousling and this week Iâm talking with the most amazing maker with the most soothing voice ever, Yarrow Magdalena. Yarrow is an incredible artist with a deep devotion to helping others find creative and personal wellbeing through art, reflection, community, and love of our own bodies and souls. We traverse many stories and topics, from personal creative practice, grief, the impact social media and technology has on our lives, and feeding our imaginations.
This month Yarrow is hosting a beautiful creative winter retreat. Join them and others for a five day creative retreat you can do from home, like an artist residency but without the travel and time away from your favorite mug, bed & art supplies. Meet from December 29th to January 2nd every day to close out the year, create together and set meaningful intentions for 2023.
Come to as many sessions as you like, work on whatever project speaks to you and start the year in a magical & creative way that will stay with you throughout 2023.
Expect journaling prompts, tarot spreads, guided meditations and other resources to sweeten your time together. You can come in your pajamas, have kids or pets in the background and stay off video if you like. For more information and to register, visit themakingapp.com or download the Making app and find âCreative Winter Retreatâ under classes. We hope to see you there!
You can connect with Yarrow on the Making app @yarrowmagdalena, their website at yarrowmagdelana.com and their podcast Creative Devotion can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.

Iâm your host Ashley Yousling and today Iâm talking with someone whom Iâve known for many years, all the way back to when I first began this podcast and she purchased some yarn from my little online shop. Françoise Danoy whom you may also know as Frenchie, is the creator behind Aroha Knits, Swatch Studio Circle, and other fun ventures like the Yarn Alchemist. But we donât spend much time talking about knitting or making, and just like with every episode, we go where the conversation leads and sometimes that means we go deep, to vulnerable and tender parts of our lives and stories. Iâm so grateful for Françoiseâs openness, for sharing this part of her story, heritage and heart, and for her permission to share that with you. I hope you take a moment to really hear Françoiseâs story and all the richness and beauty of it, while also gaining more insight through the lived experience she so graciously takes time to share with us.

Today Iâm talking with artist, maker, crafter, and designer ElÄ«za MÄra. That intro will make a little more sense once you dive into this episode haha, but I think itâs important to mention that since its inception Iâve approached each podcast episode as a conversation between myself and the guest, because of this these conversations can often be quite intimate and nuanced. My conversation with ElÄ«za is no exception, we cover a lot of ground and it may resonate with some and not others, all of which is ok. Iâm grateful to ElÄ«za for her transparency, for sharing her authentic story as sheâs still actively navigating her creative journey. I hope we can all be inspired by her courage and bold dreams. I hope you enjoy listening in on our conversation.

Today we get to hear the story of AimĂ©e Gille the founder of La Bien AimĂ©e. AimĂ©e is a whole vibe, one that bubbles up and overflows in the form of joy, encouragement, all things soft, and of course the color yellow.

Iâm grateful for AimĂ©e and all she brings to this community of ours and I hope you enjoy listening in on our conversation.

Today weâre taking it back, specifically to November 2016 to one of my favorite past episodes of what was then, the Woolful podcast. Weâll be re-sharing some of these highlight episodes over the coming months and Iâm excited to re-listen along with you. Paola is an amazing woman with an amazing story, from growing up in rural Italy to immersion in Tibetan life to finding herself in Brooklyn, with a family and a rich history and future for her fiber and textile company mYak. Like with many yarns, mYak has a beautiful story and impact on our global fiber community and I hope you enjoy getting to know Paola and the mYak vision as much as I have. You can find Paola at mYak.it and on Instagram @myak_fibers.

Today Iâm talking with embroidery designer and soon-to-be author Melissa Galbraith of McreativeJ. Weâve loved getting to know Melissa over the past year as she was an early maker on the Making app, joined many of our online gatherings, and has shared her love of embroidery and passion for teaching others. Next spring sheâs releasing her first book, How to Embroider Texture and Pattern : 20 Designs That Celebrate Pattern, Color, and Pop-Up Stitching, so make sure to keep an eye out! I love Melissaâs down to earth approach not only to embroidery and crafting in general, but also when it comes to building a business. I think youâll feel encouraged and inspired. You can find Melissa on the Making app @melissa-mcreativej and on Instagram at @mcreativej.
We believe that the simple act of making can transform your life and in turn change our world. This is why Making exists. It all starts with inspiration. Weâre inspired by people, by places, by experiencesâa beautiful photo, a soft wool, a kind heart. These are the things that motivate us to make.
Making is here to disrupt systemsâsystems of oppression, systems that only benefit certain groups of people, and systems that extract. Weâre here to challenge the narrative of profit over people. We believe a company can be founded for the purpose of good and change the world for better, while also creating opportunity at scale. Makers are tired of the monoliths. The few companies that comprise our only choices of how we connect, how we transact, and how we learn.
Makers are ready for a better alternative and that is what we are building.
