Hey there! This month, I am joined by my good friend, Ousu! We kick this episode off, of course, with the tea talk (cinnamon-apple tea in green and pink mugs). Then, I ask Ousu a few basic questions to get to know her, revolving around how we met, general info, how she defines herself and her life philosophy. Next, we dive into music by how she got into it, how she has practiced it, what it means to her and how it has helped her. Afterward, we talk about Ousu\u2019s manual art: her story with creation, inspiration, and activism. Since Sof\xeda will major in literature, we cover why she writes, how she makes it so unique, what she wants to shed a light on, if she sees it as therapy, how she deals with writer\u2019s block, and why literature is the major for her. To continue, we share our story with the quote \u201ceverything happens for a reason\u201d, how we use it in struggles, why we believe this, what it means to us, where it comes from, and how it\u2019s what we need to hear. Of course, Ousu and I talk about our friendship, how we don\u2019t see or talk frequently, our families, bonding points, what we\u2019ve learnt from our relationship, how we\u2019ve helped each other in tough times, and how we\u2019re there for one another. Finally, Sofi recommends two musicians and says where you can find her, before signing off. \n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\nGET IN TOUCH WITH OUSU:\nThe Cuerpo Bald\xedo Instagram: https://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=14zqgmkzx2v4v\nSof\xeda\u2019s personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/sofialeonor_?igshid=19tbw2x4smu74\nSof\xeda\u2019s email: sofialeonorosuna@gmail.com\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS I MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nListen to the Antisocial Caterpillars Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Q38dg2Ltfxx04UCb3sYPJ?si=A9llg-3ISnmIqL0ffXB5OQ\nListen to Laura Murcia (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/artist/6d19qaYWDQRN687o4TRK3K?si=ZsEdG2nATLeTmgetTDucTA\nListen to Las Curanderas (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/track/6AQu38qbXkZJBv5vZO5blZ?si=AymH9pK_RWq4CCKTVqtQFA\nListen to Silvana Estrada (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/artist/72VywtXEoONiBLNu3ibGI7?si=qK74FkIXR82Q8JdqRKF7xw\n\n\nHERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n\u201cI can paint despite everything that happened to me\u201d\u2019\n\u201cI am not less just because I\u2019m creating less\u201d\n\u201cI can\u2019t create if I\u2019m burnt out\u201d\n\u201cPerformative activism\u201d\n\u201cI think your major should resonate with you in a passionate way\u201d\n\u201cGood friendship is not a synonym to seeing them all the time\u201d\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
