304. Magic Maker with Pam Grossman!

Legend alert! Today we have the luminous and divine Pam Grossman on the podcast to speak about her brand-new book, Magic Maker (available for purchase here!)!

Pam is a dream and a joy, and it was such a gift to speak with her about everything from the unassuming magic of growing up in suburban NJ, to working with The Magician card as a muse for the writing process of Magic Maker, to the importance of art, creation, and craft in devastating times (and so much more!).
