“Strap Me In, Baby” | Waiting
About this episode
Stephanie and Melissa discuss various forms of waiting in life, from passive to active, and share personal anecdotes and reflections.
Welcome back to More Better! This week, Stephanie and Melissa tackle………………………….waiting. From passive waiting — (traffic (ugh), lines (UGH) — to active waiting — contracts (chop chop!), jury verdicts (she’s innocent, your honor) — to the torturous ambiguous kind — (when will my reflection show who I am inside?). Steph shares her new practice of putting her phone down to be present, while Melissa explains long shipping times to her son, like the olden times. Featuring: leaning boards and corset dress nightmares, napping like a vampire on set, Victorian patience vs. Amazon instant gratification, racing raindrops on bus windows and the whimsy of hand-written letters.
