  • Episode 19: Let's Talk About Our Emotions
    Mar 3 2023

    Hi there! Welcome to episode 19 of Eccentric Chai, the blog for artistic misfits, wayward explorers, and the creatively weird.

    On this episode I’m going to be talking about EMOTIONS. What is some of the science and theories behind our emotions? What can we do to anchor ourselves to certain feelings so that we can create the same cohesive "mood" throughout a series? And what about those days when we just feel...normal?
