From the theatre stage to Rockwood Music Hall, Elizabeth is an extremely talented, thoughtful, and loving soul. We discuss exploring our authentic selves, love as a source of creativity, Bob Dylan, and more! Creating something that is entirely your own can be extremely rewarding but also can put one in a very vulnerable place. Listen to Elizabeth’s experience in coming out, exploring her identity and sexuality, and digging deep to discover her voice after a period of silence. Bare it all for the world to see and be unapologetic with us this episode with Elizabeth Wyld!

Dearest pod-fam, we are so happy to introduce you to the incredibly wise and thoughtful Mare Berger. They sing, they write music, they play piano, and they inspire us to share our authentic selves with the world, even if it can be painful. Mare shares with us their experience as a classically trained pianist, as a person waxing and waning like the cycles of the moon. Experience all the feels with us this episode!

With such an amazing voice we felt we needed to share with you another piece sung by the lovely Victoria Rodriguez.

Here is what Victoria has to say about the piece:
"In April of 2017 I had the humble pleasure of performing with the Metro Chamber Orchestra while at the same time premiering the orchestration of Deon Nielsen Price's song cycle To The Children of War with text taken from the Los Angeles times and poems from Maya Angelou. This piece carries the weight of the refugee burden of life in 1980's LA. It was beyond an honor to perform this piece with orchestra and with Deon, herself, who is a brilliant composer."

Thanks to Tom Lee (@tomleewritesmusic) for recording and editing help.
