For this episode I interview Abigail Lapell, a songwriter currently based in Toronto Ontario. Abigail has just released her fourth album, "Stolen Time", on Outside Music. Abigail and I have shared a label (Coax Records) and I have been enjoying watching Abigail's career unfold, and seeing her increasing success. We talk about Abigail's musical journey since her first release in 2011, and her time spent in the indie-folk scene in Montreal in the 2000s. At album number four, Abigail is on the rise - and I know from experience that a lot of these "successes" we see can hide how much work, perseverance and deflating set-backs happen behind the scenes. There are many perceive victories for Abigail (over a million plays on streaming platforms, festival bookings, successful grants) and today's interview reveals the immense amount of work behind those successes. For every "yes" there were countless no's, for the handful of festival acceptances, there are over 600 festival that said "not this year", and plays on streaming services are fun to watch, but they don't equal bodies in venues. Abigail has released a beautiful album and worked hard to be on the rise, and we hope people will check it out! We look forward to seeing what is coming for Abigail Lapell! She will be playing a show in Guelph on June 26th, and afternoon matinee at the ANAF in downtown Guelph, with Jenny Berkel and Guelph's own "Bird City"(my musical project!) .

Today's convo is with my guest Christa Couture. We discuss her book, How To Lose Everything and how grief gave meaning to her gifts, shaped and redefined her role in her community, the importance of naming grief and attending to it, what grounds her today. We also discuss advocacy and how being disabled empowered her to advocate for herself and her daughter. Christa Couture is an award-winning performing and recording artist, filmmaker, writer and broadcaster. She is also proudly Indigenous (mixed Cree and Scandinavian), disabled, queer, and a mom. Her seventh album Safe Harbour was released on Coax Records. As a writer and storyteller, she has been published in Room, Shameless, and Augur magazines, and on cbc.ca. In 2018, her CBC article and photos on disability and pregnancy went viral. Couture lived for many years in Vancouver, BC, but now calls Toronto, Ontario, home. Her debut memoir “How to Lose Everything” is out now with Douglas & McIntyre, and her short animated film “How to Lose Everything: a Field Guide” recently won Best Animated Short Film at both the Imagine This Women's Film Festival and the American Indian Film Festival.

In this episode, we talk about finding a messy-middle of acceptance, a childhood living with bone cancer, life as a queer amputee, GRIEF AS AN ACCESS NEED and much more. http://christacouture.com/ LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

Christa’s also a frequent contributor to CBC Radio and is currently the weekday afternoon host on 106.5 ELMNT FM in Toronto. Her life has been both extraordinary and fiercely engaged. She is utterly and awake, connected, and alive, which is a powerful state, given the stunning amount of loss that’s touched down in her life, from the loss of her leg as a child to the loss of children, a sense of identity, community, and the need to find a way to reimagine life, to not just exist, but also live in the face of deeply challenging circumstance. In her debut memoir How to Lose Everything (https://bookshop.org/a/22758/9781771622622), she shares many stories and we dive into her extraordinary path, revelations and lens of life, possibility, hope and grace.You can find Christa Couture at:Website : http://christacouture.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/christacouture/Check out our offerings & partners: Theragun: A deep muscle massage treatment unlike anything you've ever felt.
