About this episode

Liz and Sarah confront their inner censors and discuss the benefits of solo trips and a new environmental mindset.

Liz and Sarah have decided to confront their inner censors! One way to free their minds? Natalie’s Goldberg’s daily ten minute writing practice. In Take A Hike, Liz explains why her recent visit to New York City made her realize everyone should take a solo trip — even if it’s just a day trip. In Take Two, they revisit the subject of Verticals. There are many opinions! This week’s Hollywood Hack is a mind shift that’s good for the environment and not accumulating clutter: Add the word “refuse” to “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Finally, Sarah recommends So Far Gone by Jess Walter.
