Collage Is Good for You

It took me a while to learn to be present and not borrow worry. The universe does not want to punish me, it wants me to be happy and enjoy its gifts. I learned that from Cynthia, one of my good friends from back home. She literally takes what’s around her and turns them into incredible collages. If you’ve got a stack of magazines you keep saying you’ll do something with, maybe this episode is for you.

We’re taking a break in place of the next episode, so Episode 11 will come out on July 9th!

Indulgence

Cynthia recommends going out without underwear.

About The Show

Nichole Perkins wants people to stop feeling bad about feeling good, and This Is Good For You lets you know you are never alone in what you like. Every episode, Nichole explores something that people love—whether it’s needlepoint, watching bad movies with friends, or cowgirl exercise classes—and asks experts and devotees why it makes them happy. She ends each show with an Indulgence: a recommendation listeners can enjoy with no remorse. There’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure when you learn to love it freely! To find out what’s good for you, listen to new episodes every other Friday.
