Emotional Shopping and Emotional Healing (with Invisibilia and Mimi Zhu)
Su is joined by a bevy of guests who are challenging us all to examine ourselves, our relationships, and our carts. Kia Miakka Natisse and Yowei Shaw, the hosts of NPR’s legendary Invisibilia podcast, share strategies for making the best of emotional shopping and why open carts are great for narrative tension. Later, Mimi Zhu discusses their new book, Be Not Afraid of Love — the October pick for Lemonada’s book club that forever changed Su’s perspective. Their cart is helping them stay present and connect with their inner child. Plus, we’re doing a giveaway for our 100th episode!
