We’re back with our final episode before the holidays, this time joined by award-winning costume designer Kendra Terpenning. We spent a sunny spring afternoon together earlier this year, drinking lemonade, catching up, and chatting away about all kinds of things that are setting us ablaze lately, and Kendra shares some insightful ways she’s dealt with anger over the years while working as a costume designer.
