Welcome to Rest Easy with Ximena Vengoechea, a show about navigating ambition, work, and rest in our busy lives.
In this episode, we speak with cartoonist Liana Finck. Liana is the author of several graphic novels, a memoir, several collections of cartoons, and most recently, the picture book You Broke It! In this episode, we talk about Liana’s relationship to rest as a parent, artist, and woman; the connection between cartooning and rest; the importance of having a play ethic and embracing inefficiency; and the power of setting boundaries. To learn more about Liana, check out her website or follow her on Instagram @linafinck.
