In this story, Lael shares a story about how sometimes the real value of something is hidden inside a crusty layer of shit. She speaks about her experiment to see if she could value and appreciate both the shit AND the gold in a surprising way.

Using the Game Of Life board game as a metaphor, Lael talks about the rules we are taught about life—the ones that are generally not ours, nor were they designed with us in mind—only benefit those who are set up to "win." She offers up some new rules she's crafted for herself, borrowing this one from Monica Lewinsky: "No one can tell me I am not a reliable narrator of my own life."

In this story, Lael speaks to the power of making art as a means to figure herself out:
"I just keep making shit as I go—sometimes it's good shit, and sometimes it's bad shit—but that's how I figure out everything. It's my go-to interface and how I make meaning in my world...and there's no roof on me anymore...I'm just constantly conjuring..."
