Episode 51: Deep Pockets ft. Kyleigh of Barley & Sage
 

You know what’s really enlightening? Lip service.

Not the botox kind, people. The verbal kind.

The kind where an exploitative person says, “I wish the industry was different,” before proceeding to ruin the industry. Do you feel *enlightened*?

Good.

Good good good.

Anyways, back to this episode. You know how some people attract weird experiences everywhere they go? Well, Kyleigh Sage of Barley & Sage is one of those people.

Kyleigh was the creator, artist and survivor of the infamous Spoon Spiel story. You know - the story that was weird enough to cover her need for any further and weirder experiences? That one.

But of course, no sooner did Kyleigh share her Spoon Spiel with us, than she experienced yet another story for the books. This one? This one’s a juicy one - it includes mental gymnastics 🤸‍♀️exploitative behavior 💰sassy email responses 📧 and last but not least, our favorite form of payment: exposure.

In other words, Kyleigh 👏 goes 👏 OFF 👏
