    Thank you for your creativity in shining a light on this part of life that there is no point in trying to shut out as it is already within all of us. You and your guests have shared so many ways to embrace and find value from sadness.

  • Tracii Guns!

    I came here because of the Tracii Guns interview. Wow, I was blown away! Tracii has been my guitar god since I was 15 (I’m now 48) and listened to and read hundreds of interviews with him. This one was different because it wasn’t just about the music. It was more personal. I am dealing with a lot in my life right now and hearing one of my heroes talk about how struggles and being vulnerable has given me things to think about. Thank you so much for doing this and thank you Tracii!
