Artist Jef Caine joins Paul Krauss MA LPC for a conversation about his life as he is currently living in a van and working out of Co-Hoots Phoenix. Jef elaborates on his own personal journey of separating from a partner of over 11 years and radically changing his life from working a 9-5pm to becoming a freelance artist. In a way Jef has continued to deconstruct his own life and personality, just as he unraveled his past from Evangelical Christianity. If you enjoy existential philosophy and authentic conversations, or maybe you are just curious about living out of a van, then this is the episode for you. Jef and Paul previously had a long-form discussion on Religious Trauma, Healthy Spirituality, and the Psychology of Deconstruction w/ Jef Caine [Episode 107]
