how it started
Welcome to Studio Sisterhood, the brainchild of four passionate sisters who share an insatiable love for all things anime, manga, video games, and a myriad of other odds and ends. What began as a casual conversation during a family Fourth of July party quickly transformed into an exciting idea that couldn't be ignored.
As the fireworks lit up the night sky, the concept of starting a podcast emerged as an intriguing possibility. Little did we know that this simple suggestion would ignite a fire within us. The drive home that night became a catalyst for action, with our minds racing and a rough plan taking shape in the notes app on our phones.
Eager to explore this newfound path, we immersed ourselves in research until the early hours of the morning. The following day, fueled by excitement and armed with newfound knowledge, we scheduled a Zoom call to embark on our journey. It was in that moment that Studio Sisterhood was born.
MEET THE SISTERHOOD
Introducing Chesleigh, the chaotic queen of multitasking! As the oldest sister, she's a pro at bossing her siblings around (lovingly, of course). But her real feat is juggling three human kids—Liam, Dylan, and Lilly—alongside her feline overlord, Salem (yes, inspired by the legendary Salem Saberhagen).
By day, Chesleigh works in non-profit, and by night (or more like evening) you can find her in her art studio. But let's not forget her true passions: skinny vanilla almond milk lattes (seriously, those are her life fuel), hanging out with her wild bunch, crafting up a storm, and embarking on epic gaming marathons with Link. Talk about saving kingdoms between school drop-offs! Chesleigh is a force of nature, wrangling kids, cats, and creativity like a pro. She's the superhero mom you didn't know you needed, bringing laughter, love, and a touch of chaos wherever she goes.
Meet Tara, an exuberant soul navigating the whirlwind of everyday existence. As a perpetual dreamer, her mind effortlessly wanders among the clouds of imagination. Tara takes pleasure in the simple joys of life, finding solace in activities such as indulging in TV shows, immersing herself in video games, engrossing books, and expressing her artistic talents through painting.
By day, Tara takes charge of managing a dental office. Once the sun sets, you'll often find her shedding tears of emotion while engrossed in anime. Tara's hair is a canvas for her ever-changing palette, as she revels in the joy of experimenting with various hues. She relishes the company of friends in exhilarating games of Magic: The Gathering and virtual adventures through video games. A fervent devotee of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter universes, she embraces her inner nerd and gleefully engages in spirited conversations about her favorite fandoms. Ever the trivia aficionado, Tara consistently stumps her boyfriend by challenging him to guess the voice actors behind different characters, showcasing her vast reserve of random knowledge.
Katie's knowledge of anime isn't just vast; it's practically encyclopedic. She's the go-to person when you need recommendations, trivia, or a passionate discussion about your favorite series. But beware, inquiring about her "anime husbands" may just lead you down the intricate path of a "why choose" conversation that only she can navigate with finesse. When she's not immersed in the anime universe, you'll find Katie lounging on the beach, daydreaming about a life as a mermaid. Don't worry; there's no chance of her losing her *cough* magnificent singing voice *cough* to an evil sea witch. The sun, sand, and surf are her sanctuaries for unwinding and soaking up the beauty of the natural world.
However, Katie isn't all about tranquil moments. She's an unapologetic adrenaline junkie who seizes any opportunity to ride thrilling roller coasters, seeking the rush that only the fastest loops and steepest drops can provide. On those cozy nights, you'll find her nestled in, watching movies with a glass of wine in hand, the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment. Her cat lady aesthetic adds a touch of whimsy to her life, as she proudly embraces all things cat-related.
In short, Katie is a multifaceted individual with a deep love for anime, a thirst for adventure, a penchant for laughter, and a creative soul. Get ready to embark on exciting conversations, thrilling escapades, and artistic journeys whenever you're in her company.
Introducing Sam, the youngest member of the sisterhood. Sam's love language is beautifully expressed through physical touch and heartfelt words of affirmation, but when it comes to expressing her own love, she delights in selecting thoughtful gifts for others. Together with her other half, Jake, they find joy in leisurely walks with their beloved fur baby, Blade, picnics amidst nature's embrace, and indulging in the refreshing ambiance of local breweries during the summer months. They also share a passion for immersing themselves in the world of anime, dedicating blissful hours to indulging in binge-watching sessions.
Having semi-retired her party shoes, Sam now finds solace in the comforts of home, snuggled up under a cozy blanket on Saturday nights, accompanied by a captivating book. When she's not engrossed in lesson planning or fulfilling her professional duties, you'll often discover Sam joyfully grooving to music, engaging in invigorating workouts, diving into captivating manga, manifesting her dreams, and, perhaps inconveniently, reaching out to her eldest sister at the most unexpected moments.
With her vibrant spirit and warm-hearted nature, Sam embraces life's experiences with enthusiasm, cherishing moments of connection and finding fulfillment in bringing happiness to those she holds dear.
