Today's guest is the amazing Elise Lovejoy: educator, illustrator, publisher and mother to two excellent kids that I have had the pleasure of doing parkour with at the Griffith Observatory in LA.
In this episode, Elise talks about her very deliberate walking out of her comfort zone, her linguistic gaffes in Mexico, what drove her to establish her publishing company, Express Readers, and what she likes doing in her spare time (as if THAT'S a thing haha!).

Enjoy the Lovejoy experience.

EPISODE NOTES:

My strong advice is that when we introduce a song, you should pause and find it wherever you keep your songs. I keep mine on vinyl discs, cassette tapes, CDs, Spotify, Apple Music and sometimes just in my head. The songs make the episodes what they are, so take the time to listen if you can. I'll link to them on Spotify just to help you along.

First track:

McCalliog and his Hens - Half Man Half Biscuit

Second track:

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley & The Wailers

Third track:

Hard to be Nice - Kyle Hume

Bonus track: Pasadena by the Temperance Seven
