THE STARTING BLOQ Ep: 12 – Creative Couples (Part II)

Saturday, January 26th, 2019

Welcome to another round of Creative Couples with my friends, Ron and Vanessa Lemen. I got so much good stuff from my guests on this topic that I decided to do a two-parter!

Vanessa and Ron are painters and educators, and have known each other since they were kids. On the pod, they discuss the benefits (and frustrations) of being a creative with a creative partner, how they handle work-life balance, and what it’s like having a significant other who “gets” the life.

My unending thanks to them for opening up and sharing this part of their lives on The Starting Bloq.

 


Music: “I Got You, Babe” – Sonny & Cher
