Hey lovely!! Ahh this is one you don't want to miss!! Today I'm joined by the incredible Jess Pollard. Jess specialises in holistic life coaching and supporting her clients with managing stress, finding more calm and claiming their confidence. Today she shares more about her story and so life changing tips to help you find more calm on your journey and step into a more flourishing you! Such a powerful conversation and a huge thankyou to Jess for coming onto the podcast! Jess Instagram Full Circle Healing Website Be Mindful Journal Instagram - @bstrong.coach Apply to work with me 1:1    

Jess is a Canadian born and raised, Elmira a Muscovite. Both currently reside in Vancouver and met for the first time when they became flatmates. Jess is an illustrator and Elmire a piano teacher and copywriter. Jess had lived in Siberia for a few months and speaks Russian, meaning that Elmira and she would talk often about Russian language and culture, including swearing. Together over lockdown they decided it would be fun to create and Instagram account of the most inventive Russian swearwords to entertain their friends. Suddenly their account became an internet sensation and people from all corners of the globe were sharing their content. Now, the pair have released 3 volumes of their favourite curses and are working on volume 4. Listeners beware, there will be a fair amount of effing and blinding on this week's episode so if that's not your cup of chai, move on to episode 3. However, we strongly suggest you get acquainted with the most creative swearing you've ever heard and enjoy the curses in all their glory.

Today on the TradeWaiters, we jumped head-first into some shoujo manga with the first two volumes of "Your Lie in April" by Naoshi Arakawa. Join us as we immerse ourselves in classical music, middle school romance, family drama, and the fine art of panel-to-panel transitions. We also officially welcome Jess Pollard as our fifth podcast panelist! Music by Sleuth Our next episode will cover "Wendy" and "Wendy's Revenge" by Walter Scott.

This week on The Tradewaiters, The Fifth Tradewaiter (a.k.a. Jess Pollard) joins us to talk about "Vattu: The Name and the Mark" by Evan Dahm. This is the first volume in print of Evan’s epic webcomic project. Listen to us chat about how much we love his work, but more importantly, the reasons WHY we love it and why you should too. We’ve got a lot to say about webcomics in general this episode. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover volumes 1 and 2 of "Your Lie in April" by Naoshi Arakawa.

The Tradewaiters are back! Jess Pollard joins Jon, Jeff, Jam, and kgros for a discussion on "Paper Girls" volumes 1 & 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang. Join us as we talk about eighties nostalgia, book design, the pacing in floppies, “progressive edgy,” and Matt Wilson’s gorgeous colours. EDIT: Jonathon would like to apologize for mixing up Warren Ellis and Frank Miller. Minus ten points from Hufflepuff for such a slanderous error. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover volume one of "Vattu" by Evan Dahm.

On today’s Tradewaiters we read "Aya" written by Marguerite Abouet and drawn by Clément Oubrerie. Special guest Jess Pollard joins us again while Angela is away. Our first formal foray into bande dessinée, "Aya" follows the chaotic love lives of three young women in 1970s Ivory Coast. This book was a lot of fun! Join us as we share our thoughts. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover volumes 1 & 2 of "Bone" by Jeff Smith.

Special guest Jess Pollard returns to the TradeWaiters studio for "Americus" by M.K. Reed and Jonathan Hill. She proceeds to get Socratic on the group as we discuss censorship, culture wars, and comics. Meanwhile, we confirm the existence of actual IRL TradeWaiters listeners, and everyone’s got an opinion on a certain ultra-popular young adult fantasy book series. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover "Aya" by Marguerite Abouet and Clemente Oubrerie.

In episode 16 Jon, Jeff, Kathleen, and special guest Jess Pollard continue the discussion of "Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind" by Hayao Miyazaki with volume 2 (or the second half, depending on what printing you have). The TradeWaiters get philosophical as this manga master-work leads us down roads to nihilism, zen buddhism, relativism, absolutism, pacifism, and existential terror. Welcome to funny books, everybody. Music by Sleuth. Our next book will be "Dykes to Watch Out For" by Alison Bechdel, but our next episode will be an afterword on TCAF and VanCAF 2016, coming out on June 10th.

In episode 15 Jon, Jeff, and Kathleen are joined by special guest Jess Pollard to talk about the first half of "Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind," the manga series by world-reknowned animator Hayao Miyazaki. This is an incredibly dense work and we have a lot to say about it! But the true purpose of the Sea of Corruption isn't the only secret conspiracy that this episode will reveal... Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover the second half of "Nausicaa."
