Here's a bonus episode for y'all – an interview from my Artist of Life Series on YouTube.
Clarissa Wei is a freelance journalist who recently backpacked across China, Taiwan, and Tibet for 9 months. She’s written stories for VICE, Eater, Los Angeles Times, and has appeared on Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. This girl's got a taste for adventure and a drive to shift our society and environment. She's a living example of a true artist of life.
It's time for the podcast to come to an end… OK, a temporary end. 🙂 This final episode for Season 1 of The Lavendaire Lifestyle touches on prioritizing and making space for what's most important to you.

Sometimes you just gotta force yourself to leave your safe routine and do things outside of your comfort zone. Today I discuss when it’s NOT a good idea to follow your gut and why you need to make yourself get uncomfortable once in a while.

This week was a rollercoaster of emotions. At one point I felt so inspired, fulfilled, like I was on top of the world. And in the next moment, all of that confidence and excitement was squashed and I felt like I was worthless and ridiculous. And then I had to take some time to pick up the pieces and level myself. Let me tell you the story about what happened.
After reviewing the podcast, I do have some afterthoughts. I forgot to mention how part of that blow was that I didn't feel appreciated for my work or my help, and that added to the anger and frustration. That's another topic for another day. Today we can just focus on the creative ego aspect.
My point is, we all have issues and soft spots that we can work out. One at a time. Awareness is the first step, then rewiring your beliefs (like how I did in my digital journal afterward) is the next step.
I did an interview with the wonderful Kristy Arnett on her podcast WTF Am I Doing With My Life? Love Kristy. Love her podcast. You can listen to the full episode below. Make sure to check out Kristy’s story & other episodes on WTF Am I Doing With My Life? SO relatable and valuable.
Today I interview the adventurous spirit that is Clarissa Wei, a freelance journalist currently backpacking through Asia. Clarissa and I met years ago when she was writing about Chinese food in LA and I was working at the largest Asian food festival in the US. We collaborated on some fun videos like ‘How to Eat Xiao Long Bao‘ and ‘Dim Sum 101.'
It's inspiring to see how far she's come since then, from appearing on The Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern to speaking on panels with food critic Jonathan Gold to now living her dream life in Asia, hanging out with Tibetan monks and aboriginal tribes. Simply amazing. (Can you tell I'm a huge fan?)
Take a peek inside the current life of Clarissa Wei. She's a brilliant example of what it looks like to be a true artist of life.
