404 The Unpredictable Nature of Our Stories

Like the humble ant, we go about our lives caring for those in our home, seeking new horizons, and using our natural talents to build monuments to our success. However, just like the ant, we are subject to things out of our control; be it a rainstorm that floods known pathways or a cruel child with a magnifying glass. These things can break us, they often do, but just like the ant we must settle again, rebuild, and make our home safe again.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Anne Plaisance discuss the many trials and tribulations they had faced and how they channeled it into something beautiful and powerful.

What's the perfect contradiction & complement to therapy? Comedy, of course!

After finishing her degree, she moved to Chicago to try her skills at improvisation, and landed a career with Second City.
