Episode 6: "Love Is...Everywhere" with David Roche
In the 6th episode of Spontaneous Mutation podcast, Halley recalls a turning point in her healing when she began to remember the good memories in her life, and specifically the love she experienced from her community, friendships, and family.
Her guest, author and humorist, David Roche shares stories from his life, reflections on activism, and if you listen closely, a guidebook to following your heart.
The song you hear on this episode is called "Love Is."
Bio:
David Roche is an inspirational humorist and motivational speaker. In addition to appearing internationally as a guest speaker and headliner, he has been in multiple films and documentaries. In 2022 he was awarded the Order of Canada for his contributions to the field of disability art.
His first book, The Church of 80% Sincerity, is based on his signature one-man show of the same title. David was born in Hammond, Indiana, the eldest of seven children. His sixteen years of Roman Catholic education included four years studying to be a priest at Saint Lawrence Seminary in Wisconsin. And as you’ll hear throughout the interview, David’s life did not go as planned. Lucky for us, he has generously and hilariously shared so much of what he has learned along the way in his recently published book, Standing at the Back Door of Happiness: And How I Unlocked It
