Before the conversation with our guest this week, Julie and Melody reflect on the ineffable beauty of the creative process and the need to listen and trust yourself. Then, we sit with Flea (30:24), the bassist for The Red Hot Chili Peppers! We dive into how he uses his body as a vehicle, his mission to channel energy and live in the moment, who (and what) has influenced his course, and how we all process ego.

Welcome to the Butterfly Forecast! For the pilot, we share why we’re doing this—turning our personal conversations into public ones. We talk about the concept of the butterfly effect and how the smallest evolution of each individual can affect the collective. Sharing stories from our past, we also explore how WHAT we are is more important than WHO we are. Then, finally, a question for you and I both: what is in my design that I bring for the betterment of people, in this moment?

Welcome to “The Butterfly Forecast”, where life is explored through the insights of the butterfly effect, and how the smallest changes made by an individual can change the outcome for the collective. Hosted by designer Melody Ehsani and medical intuitive Julie Burns Walker!
