The Robin Smith Show

An overly caffeinated, and dangerously unmedicated Robin delivers an ADHD ramblefest about the limitations of his knowledge of world affairs, how to make sense of conscious awareness from an "Internal Family Systems" framework, and reinterprets the lyrics to one of his songs, "Don't Forget the Lie".

Bar Lehmann is a licensed therapist who owns a private practice, Better State of Mind, located in Tenleytown in Washington, DC. Better State of Mind also provides remote services through Washington, DC and Virginia. Bar has spent about a decade providing clinical mental health services, primarily doing CBT talk therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and neurofeedback. He is board certified and highly trained in providing neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback therapy best known for its efficacy with ADHD, anxiety, and also for being likely to help address symptoms of epilepsy, TBI, migraines. People choose neurofeedback because it is non-invasive, usually long-term, and has helped to complement, reduce, or replace medications for many in cases where side effects are problematic. With the assistance of a brain map, and review by a licensed neurologist, neurofeedback helps train a person to learn to shift their brain waves to a more desired state indicated by the brain map.

Jimmy Stewart is an award winning composer and performer in the Baltimore music scene. With a bachelor's in science and business administration he worked as a contractor for the government office of the Washington Navy Yard for 4 years and is now the program director for the float cyber security office for the U.S. Government. From his early days in Tampa Bay, FL he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17 and spent 21 years as a submariner. Though the Navy showed him the world, Jimmy has happily settled in Baltimore, MD where he now quietly crafts his music. He feels most at home in nature next to a warm campfire. His time in nature, creating music has helped form a trait in himself that is truly rare in our world, optimism.

Jimmy and I talk about:

• His time growing up in Tampa Bay, FL and how he first got interested in music and playing guitar
• His time in the U.S. Navy, particularly his experiences in and on the submarine
• The energy between the performer and the audience
• How he ended up in the Baltimore
• What inspired the song, Train to Kamakura
• His song "Lemoyne" which won the GOLD Prize in the Instrumental Category for the 2020 37th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC) 2ND YEAR IN A ROW
• His first time winning the award with “Air of Autumn” from his album Just Left of Beautiful (2017) 
• And much more
