Ep. 273: Do the Damn Thing with the Movement Maestro

We have on a guest this week after a long, long time without any. So excited to get this chance to chat with The Movement Maestro herself, Shanté Cofield. We’ve had her on before (in fact she was one of our first guests!) and if you don’t already know and lover her, what the fuck are you doing?! Shanté’s motto is short and sweet: do the damn thing. The rules of life are made up… so just do whatever the hell you want. You don’t have to wait to be happy.
