Episode notes

During the pandemic, space took up a new importance for me. I got more into the poetics of space and during the pandemic,. Having a space that's your own, how it looks, taking care to how you decorate. There's a philosophical value that you're spending money on space that cultivates depth and thinking is actually not a waste of money. Maybe we need more land as a family. So those type of questions, that's a shift for me. It wasn't on my radar before.
