This week inaugurates the series: Love and Work, focusing on the interplay of relationships and creativity.

I met Grace in the Fall of 2020 as we both began work in our graduate studies at the Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her then-fiancee, now husband! Elliott joined another cohort at the same school, diving into the world of archetypal depth psychology–the psychology of the unconscious–to add to their already enormous breadth of knowledge of the human psyche and spirit through the lens of comedy.

Both Grace and Elliott are well known to the YouTube community, having been content generators for over a decade. In Grace's case, for 15 years in such groundbreaking offerings as My Damn Channel & Daily Grace.

They are comedians as well as extremely observant, deep thinkers, and it was only natural that two people with such incredible talent would fall madly in love.

We spoke about their history together, about the dangers of social media in an age of anxiety, and how these tools can be used to transform, rather than simply amuse, entertain, and edify.
