In this episode of 'Art Heals All Wounds,' I explore the transformative power of vulnerability with guest Michael Brady, a psychotherapist and newly emerged musician. Michael, whose performance name is M. Brady, shares his journey from suffering a panic attack during a crucial audition in his youth and abandoning his dream of becoming a musician for two decades. Inspired by the courage of his clients and his desire to confront his long-held fears, he began writing songs, culminating in the release of his first album. This episode delves into the interplay between vulnerability, creativity, and personal healing, highlighting how Michael's experience not only fulfilled a lifelong dream but also enriched his psychotherapeutic practice. Listeners hear about the deep emotional and psychological impacts of unprocessed trauma and small ‘t' traumas, and the healing potential of creativity. 00:00 Welcome to Art Heals All Wounds00:35 Chasing Dreams and Facing Failures02:35 M.

On this episode of Art Heals All Wounds, I share a voicemail from Joey Held, who talks about the impact of music on building a sense of belonging and the ability of art to heal. Joey hosts a podcast called Good People, Cool Things but he's also a member of the band Burning Years. Joey talks about the way he sees music bringing people together during the band's shows. He also shares an incredible experience with a fan of the band—a recent transplant from Dublin, Ireland, to Austin, Texas where Joey lives. This fan told him that before he left Dublin, he had been in a pub that played one of Burning Years' songs and that the entire pub began singing along. They knew all of the words! A reminder that art knows no boundaries, it transcends cultures to create connections.

Meet SquadCaster Pam Uzzell. She's the host of Art Heals All Wounds. Here's what the show is about: Do you want to change the world? So do I! On this podcast, we meet artists whose work is doing just that. Each week I interview an artist and talk about their work. As creative thinkers, artists present us with some of the most compelling visions of ways that our world could work better for everyone--art around environmental, social, and racial justice, gender equity, ways to build community and bridge divisions, and solace for grieving-- If we can see solutions to the things that prevent us from thriving as individuals and societies, we can imagine implementing those solutions. Once we imagine, we can become the people we want to be, belonging in communities that nurture everyone, and living in societies based on equity and justice.In this episode: Marcus Thompson is a long-time Golden State Warriors beat reporter and Bay Area News Group sports columnist and currently writes for The Athletic. Growing up, he was fascinated by two things: words and Bay Area sports teams. In our conversation, he highlights teachers and other adults in his life that encouraged him to lean into writing, including sportswriter Michael Silver.

They say that change doesn't happen overnight…but my friend Anne Ashton would respectfully disagree! Anne's introduction to the art world is unlike almost anybody else's I've ever encountered. No spoilers…but let's just say that the Lord transformed her into an artist basically overnight! Everything in Anne's artistic life comes from following what the Lord is guiding her to do. Learning how to paint, moving from realism to abstract art, getting her paintings in shows and shops nearby… all at God's instruction. Now she's following God's lead to teach painting to everybody from corporate groups to vulnerable members of society like unwed teen mothers. And some of her most amazing stories come from her art ministry to prisoners, encouraging them to express themselves in media from graffiti to finger paints. Her outreach is really making a difference in people's lives in all walks of life, and I think her story may very well inspire you to do the same. You can see more about Anne on her website, Instagram, and Facebook: http://annerdashton.com/ https://www.instagram.com/annerdashtonart/ https://www.facebook.com/Paintinginhispresence/ ====================When you're ready to stop striving and start thriving, here are 4 other ways I can help: 1️⃣ Get my FREE Guide, “5 Biggest Misconceptions About Prophetic Art” Wondering how to create your art with God or what prophetic art is all about?

Feed drop time! We're on a break from the show as we prepare for v5 of SquadCast and work on revamping the SquadCast podcast. So, we're bringing you carefully curated feed drops from some of our favorite SquadCasters.This week, we're spotlighting the work of Pam Uzzell, who's been a SquadPodder for a while now. SquadPod is what we call the SquadCast community on Slack. (Join us here). Pam Uzzell is a documentary filmmaker and podcaster currently living in Oakland, CA. At twenty-two, she began working in post-production, with credits in over twenty feature films, including Terminator 2, Godfather III, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. She is the director and producer of three independent documentaries, Some Call It Heaven (2007), Unearthing the Dream (2012), and Welcome to the Neighborhood (2018). More about Pam here. Here's what the episode is about, from Pam's website:Today, I'm joined by independent director and producer Alexi Lacey. She has over 20 years of experience in filmmaking, and her most recent project, Fiji Memory Colonial Time, has been on her mind since she was a teenager. The film explores the complexity of identity when it's been formed by privilege due to the exploitation of other people and the intended destruction of their culture. For Alexi, this was an opportunity to profile her mother's courage, share the bitter truths in their family's history, and the legacy of colonialism in Fiji. We discuss what motivated Alexi to pursue this story, how colonialism impacts our identities, and what she hopes viewers take away from this film. We also touch on the work that she does with issues around the housing crisis, displacement, and gentrification happening in San Francisco.Here's the description of the podcast, from Pam's website: Ready to unlock your inner artist? In this podcast, we explore the intersection between art and well-being. Listen as artists share how they creatively engage with the issues we all struggle with. Through their stories, we meet ourselves with compassion and find common ground. Why we chose this episode:Pam is an amazing producer and interviewer.

"It's not obvious how or why art meets a need. We don't eat it, we don't have sex with it. Yet we are drawn to it and we've been making art since the begining of civilization"Today's guest is Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, Neurology professor at the University of Pennlysvania. He is a prominent neurologist, former Chief of Neurology at the Pennsylvania Hospital. He is currently the founder and director of the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, which studies the neural impact of aesthetic and artistic experiences. In his book “The Aesthetic Brain: how we evolved to desire beauty and enjoy art” he makes a compelling case for the intimate links between art and science and their common goal of getting insight into the human experience. For all his scientific pedigree Anjan also has an artist's sensibility. He teaches architecture, has a deep love for street art, and he moonlights as a photographer.In this conversation Anjan and I discussed:how our brain reacts to art and beauty, and how we process and assign meaning.the role of art in human experience and social change.art's potential for becoming an recognized medical treatment.the challenges of scientific research and evidence on a subject so vast and subjective as art.There's no way to cover the full extent of these questions in under 40mn but I hope you'll get enough food for thought!Thanks for listening ✨----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, I'm joined by photographer, filmmaker, and educator Michael O. Snyder. His work focuses on the intersectionality of environmental and cultural change. Our conversation is centered around his project called The Coming Coast.
