Happy New Year!! For the first episode of 2021, we're talking all things perfectionism. We're all familiar with it, that little person in our heads that tells us our work, our creativity and ultimately our existence is never enough. One of Cassidy's mantras this year is "Progress over perfection," and in this episode, she's sharing her journey with perfectionism and how she's kicking it to the curb.

Hello everyone! For the last episode of 2020, Cassidy sat down with Emma Kumer. She’s a 2020 Northwestern University graduate, designer and journalist. Following the murder of George Floyd, Emma started advocating for racial justice over on social media. She made infographics on a wide-range of issues from public safety to how to be an antiracist. And these infographics took her on a journey she did not expect. In this conversation, Cassidy and Emma get into privilege, police brutality, Instagram activism and overcoming people pleasing. Hope you enjoy!
