Finding Harmony: My Podcast Journey on ‘Home from Here’
I recently had the privilege of being a guest on the “Home from Here” podcast, hosted by the wonderful John Burton. It was an experience that not only allowed me to share my story but also to connect with someone who has walked a path strikingly similar to mine. Below I have included some of the highlights from the episode, but click below to listen to the full episode!
Sharing Similar Journeys
In this episode, John and I delved into our unique yet relatable journeys. We discussed how life took an unexpected turn when illness struck and how we navigated the turbulent waters of mental health challenges. For me, as a singer/songwriter, math teacher, and mental health advocate, the journey has been a kaleidoscope of experiences, each adding depth and color to my life.
The Healing Power of Creativity
We spoke about the therapeutic power of creativity in our lives. Music, for me, has always been more than just melodies and lyrics; it’s a language that expresses what words often cannot. It has been a constant companion, helping me through my darkest moments and elevating me during my highs. But my journey towards mental wellness isn’t just tuneful; it also involves a symphony of exercise and meditation. These practices have helped me find a sense of balance and harmony in my life.
John and I also explored how these practices aren’t just coping mechanisms but a way of life that fosters mental and emotional well-being. We shared insights on how small, daily practices can lead to significant, transformative changes. This conversation was a heartfelt exchange of experiences, challenges, and triumphs.
Extending a Helping Hand
I believe that our stories can inspire and provide hope to many who might be struggling silently. The podcast episode is a testament to the strength and resilience that lies within all of us. If my journey can light a spark in even one person, then sharing it has been worth it. I invite you to listen to our conversation on “Home from Here.” You can find the episode here.
