Whatsherface

We couldn't have been luckier to have our first guest of season 2 be the incredible Sarah Johnson (she/her). The former owner of Omaha Bicycle Co., membership & volunteer coordinator for Mode Shift Omaha, co-host of Car Free Midwest, and the former candidate of Omaha City Council in District 1 sat down with us and really let it all out. As self proclaimed 'tangent queens' this episode reflects Sarah perfectly— present and fully focused on the conversation in front of her, with a few (maybe more) stops taken along the way. To follow along with Sarah and to receive updates on Omaha's Council Club you can find her on Instagram @sj_obc, @sj4omaha or @carfreemidwest. This episode is hosted by Scott Fields (they/she) @ladynamedscott and produced by Joshua LaBure (he/him) @figurepodcasts. A Figure Podcast Production figurepodcasts.com/whatstheirface

Whatsherface is back, but things have changed since we last met. This episode is hosted by Scott (they/she) and they discussed the many changes that have occurred since they last spoke in this space, and the intentions they have with the future. While this may be a brief introduction, check back soon to our 'true' return while we interview Sarah Johnson — the Membership and Volunteer Coordinator at Mode Shift Omaha, co-host of Car Free Midwest, former bicycle shop owner and regular attendee to Omaha's city council meetings.

We've made it to episode five of Whatsherface and this time we're joined by Lincoln, Nebraska illustrator Abigail Ervin. Abi made illustrating her full-time job in February of 2019, forming Abigail E.P. Featuring depictions of monsters, self portraits and the desire to illuminate beauty in darkness she has since built a client base for her sustainable online store. Outside of her curated shop has worked on many projects, most notably creating work for the Exactly Right Podcast Network's This Podcast Will Kill You, See Jurassic Right and having her art included in the My Favorite Murder novel 'Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered'. Together we discuss striking a balance between small business ownership and mental health, her Catholic faith and her upbringing in small town Nebraska.

On this episode of Whatsherface we are joined by our healer, confidant and friend, Mo Horner. Trained by the East West School of Planetary Herbology and a professional member of the American Herbalist Guide since 2008, Mo has spent more than 1,000 hours annually listening to, and addressing, the health concerns of her clients. Her comprehensive approach results in personalized health plans that can be implemented right away to help clients evolve from bad habits, create healthy rhythms, and restore balance. Together we discuss how she found herself on the path to making a career of herbalism after a major health event changed her world view, dating after divorce, and what it takes to build a new community-based clinic.

On the third episode of Whatsherface we brought in our dear friend Kate Brewer— a vibrant award-winning filmmaker, TedxTalk presenter and author. Born in Seattle and raised in Southeast Asia, Kate now resides in Council Bluffs, Iowa with her husband and sweet pup Shiloh. Together we discuss her process with script writing, the creation of her documentary feature 'Knots: A Forced Marriage Story' (winning Best Documentary Feature at the 2019 Manchester Film Festival) her fascination with the horror genre and the places she's lived around the world.

On the second episode of Whatsherface we brought Maria Corpuz to the studio. A force to be reckoned with, Corpuz is an Asian American woman from Omaha, Nebraska with a passion for creating community by combining her love of art and social justice through her project Nite Caps. Together we explore her journey with mental health and therapy, how she keeps her finger on the pulse of social causes in Omaha, and her deep love for Fiona Apple's latest release 'Fetch the Bolt Cutters'. While often unafraid of expressing her thoughts on social media, this episode offers the opportunity to see the more vulnerable side of a community leader during a time when social gatherings are no longer an option.
