#022- Effective Communication Skills + Interview with Artist Dana Ellyn

We are talking all about communication this week... learn how to stop apologizing and start being assertive. We discuss the importance of knowing your stuff and give you tips for building your confidence, how to read people and when to have "the vegan talk".

In the second half, Sarah chats with artist Dana Ellyn. Dana is a full time painter who lives and paints in her studio in downtown Washington D.C. Her work is exemplified by a risk taking vision, strong content and colorful critiques of social norms. Dana creatively poses the question why do we love some animals and eat others?
