Those were the days! In this episode, we explore nostalgia—how we experience it, and how it can get in the way of us being fully present and embodied in the moment. We also discuss the Olympics, gratitude, some of our favourite nostalgia triggers. Robyn is inspired by Céline Dion’s comeback performance and Michelle starts a morning walking routine.  Recorded on August 11th, 2024 Timestamps: (0:27) Intro(0:58) Fun/interesting thing(11:46) Michelle’s win, challenge, and fun/interesting thing(31:29) Main topic: Nostalgia(1:04:55) The role nostalgia plays in creating and consuming art (1:15:32) Favourite nostalgia triggers (1:31:38) Robyn’s upcoming plans (1:32:26) Michelle’s upcoming plans (1:34:12) Outro Resources, references, and further exploration: Bent Knee’s upcoming album Twenty Pills Without Water: https://bentknee.bandcamp.com/album/twenty-pills-without-water The Office - Andy Bernard - The good old days quote video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gvk0_6p_-sInternal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapy-types/internal-family-systems-therapy Jordan Rakei’s album What We Call Life: https://jordanrakei.bandcamp.com/album/what-we-call-life Grace Helbig’s cottage cheese recipes video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItTQH-ZjGlk ”What are we doing tomorrow night, Brain?”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJYmyYzuTa8 Books mentioned: Mel Robbins’ book The 5 Second Rule: https://www.melrobbins.com/books#the-5-second-rule Quotes, ideas, and insights: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” - John Lennon, from the song “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)” Links: Learn more about Robyn at https://www.robynlester.com/ Learn more about Michelle at https://www.michellemonettemusic.com/ Follow Stream of Art on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/streamofartpodcast/ Follow Robyn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robynlester.art/ Follow Michelle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellemonettemusic/ Subscribe to Michelle’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC64o4jtMmYWJE-7qVoLxtQA Please feel free to send questions and comments to streamofartpodcast@gmail.com Connect with like-minded artists and creatives at our Discord server: https://discord.gg/mHa8GSQqsv Credits: Podcast art by: Robyn Lester Theme music by: Michelle Monette Podcast editing by: Michelle Monette
