In this conversation I talk with Christine Bove about our relationship to our stuff. We all have plenty of stuff… but which of our stuff makes us feel plenty? That is the core of our rap sess.

Christine Bove contacted me basically thanking for sending her amazing people to work with and to ask to come back. As I’m in the end of my cycle with Marie Condo’s second book, [Spark Joy], literally sorting through my memoirs – every photo in our household – I said yes.
