In this episode, Sarah and Cecily discuss the themes and practices of celebration, and how it supports our creative pursuits. Our conversation explores:

• Why celebration in the creative process is important. 
• How celebration is both a radical act and a form of communication. 
• What’s really at the heart of celebration (spoiler alert: it’s gratitude!). 
• How cultural messaging around alcohol skews our sense of celebration.
• What celebration feels like according to the body.
• How capitalism alters our expectations of what merits celebration. 
• The different forms celebration can take.
• An argument for creating our own weird holidays + "celebration leadership."
• How celebration, rest, and integration go hand in hand. 
• Celebratory updates from four previous guests, including:
  • Ebony Isis Booth (44:00)
  • Goddexx (55:05)
  • Kristina Gonzalez (1:04:52)
  • Kate Belew (1:12:22)
• Sarah & Cecily celebrate each other – and themselves. (1:18:00)
