Behind Beautiful Things

We often forget the power of words. In day to day life as well as the relationships that we build, words do matter. Join us this week as we talk with Andy about his upbringing in the Midwest, his lessons learned during his time in the service, and why he wrote his book “Words Fucking Matter” and the lessons he hopes to impart.

While the idea of introvert and extrovert has become a part of our understanding of personality, it does not alleviate the challenges presented by either. Join us today as we speak with Laurel about her experience as a lifelong introvert, her realization that she needed her own space and pace of life, her trepidation about becoming a mother, and the ultimate joy and presence being a mother has brought her.

Join us today as we talk with Whitney about her upbringing, her struggles with an extremely difficult relationship, and the unexpected tragedy that befell her family.

Addiction and a racing mind tend to go hand in hand. As addiction strengthens, it is often far more pernicious than once believed.

For most of us, responding to an inquiry of where we are from is an easy answer. Even if we have to move around within that country, we always are able to point to where our roots are laid down.

Please join us as we learn about her childhood as the daughter of a proud Air Force man, the many different countries she lived in, the two seismic unexpected losses she experienced as an adult, and her current work in massage therapy assisting those dealing with mental health challenges.

Art is legitimate work. That being said, the conversations we often have around art and careers seek to exclude the artist from the society that they help enrich. Join us today as we speak with Melissa about her theatrical career, her times spent in the depth of “Head Trash” (More in the episode on that!), and her inspiring and amazing plan to continue to make sure Art is seen as legitimate and needed work.

Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, people were encouraged to keep their familial trauma within the walls of their homes. Even with severe trauma, people far too often felt alone in their suffering.
