Ep. 6: The Strange is Beautiful with Shannen Roberts

In this episode the Conchas sit down for our first ever interview with Shannen Roberts of the blog The Strange Is Beautiful to discuss mind obstacles, reframing the mental illness narrative, and how creativity and mental health intersect. From her work on zines to special events like Self Love Date Night and her music as Cusi Coyllur, Shannen gives us in depth insight into how creativity and healing can work together. So grab your conchas, a cozy seat and enjoy!
Btw if you hear panting in the background, it belongs to Homer, a very important dog and friend to the pod.
