Jennifer Hamady found her voice before she remembered finding it. Her first word was sung. So when she lost it at music college — not through illness but through instruction — it wasn't just a professional setback. It was the loss of the oldest companion she'd ever had. This conversation follows the thread back.
In this conversation:
Jennifer and Paul explore what it means to rediscover something that was always there — in the voice, in the body, and in the self. This is a conversation about the damage that instruction can do when it
displaces intuition; about the kind of witnessing that sees things fixing can never find; and about what it might mean to arrive at your own sufficiency without needing to earn it first. Jennifer's forthcoming
fourth book argues that the hunger to be special is the very thing that keeps us from recognising we already are.
