So we've talked about mindfulness on this show before, and if you're in my Differently Wired Club, you know that mindfulness meditation is something I explore from time to time but really struggle with implementing in the way I think I'm supposed to. Like, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong or it's just not for me. But as my guest today, Hunter Clarke-Fields, explains, there are many accessible ways to practice mindfulness, even for people like me who feel like they can't, or don't want to, slow down. And there's just no disputing the powerful way that mindfulness can support us in helping us be more present, more grounded, more calm, more open, and more curious when navigating all the big, challenging stuff with our neurodivergent kids. During our conversation, Hunter demonstrates a few mindful techniques to regulate yourself when you need it that are very doable even if you only have 3 minutes — I've actually been doing them since we recorded this, and I'm still at it! Hunter also shared strategies to show our kids compassion when they are struggling and introduces us to what has become one of my most favorite positive self-talk phrases — “permission to be human” — as a reminder when we have less than brilliant parenting, or life, moments. She ended the conversation with a beautiful reflection on why it's important to see our kids for who they are and be willing to be open to the changes that happen every day for them.

This episode again celebrates the World Premiere of my new EP called “The Singles Project”, featuring five new songs.The recording has received wonderful reviews, being called “Amazing!” (Top Buzz Magazine), “Magical…a sonic tour de force!” (IndiePulse Music), “Fabulously enticing!” (Pop Icon Magazine), and a “Home run!” (Hollywood Digest).This episode introduces two more songs, “The Ship” and "New Wind". “The Ship” is a song that's unlike anything else I've ever written. On the surface it's a tale out of the 1800s about a sailing ship that's in trouble. But it's also a metaphor for the troubled times that we live in now. Hollywood Digest calls it “A firestorm of grooves and a thunderbolt of tonality!” "New Wind" is about the springtime renewal of life. But it too is also a metaphor about casting out the bad things in one's life and welcoming new good things. Pop Icon calls it "Entrancing!"There's one more song on the EP called “She Always Draws A Crowd”. It's my commentary on how sometimes we hide our true selves behind our social image. Pop Icon calls it "Haunting!" I'll let you discover that one on your own. “The Ship”. Spotify link. YouTube link.“New Wind”. Spotify link. YouTube link.“She Always Draws A Crowd”. Spotify link.

It's been called “Amazing!” (Top Buzz Magazine), “Magical...A Sonic Tour De Force!” (IndiePulse Music), “Fabulously Enticing!” (Pop Icon Magazine), and a “Home run!” (Hollywood Digest).In this episode I'm going to introduce the first two songs, “Like Never Before” and "Saturday Morning". “Like Never Before” is a song about the darker reality of our world today. It couldn't be more timely. It's a commentary on the hostility, divisiveness, and lack of civility and compassion that seems to exist everywhere. The refrain states my message: “We need each other right now like never before.” Hollywood Digest calls the song “Stunning!”“Saturday Morning” is the total opposite of the first song. It's a happy, upbeat, feel good song about the everyday events in our lives that bring us joy. I just thought we all needed something like that at this time. IndiePulse calls it “Stunning!” and Top Buzz Magazine calls it "The Crown Jewel”. All five songs on the EP can be streamed on Spotify and all the other streaming services. You can watch the lyric videos of "Like Never Before" and "Saturday Morning" on YouTube. The links are below.

The theme of this Music Day episode is Cover Songs.A cover song is when an artist performs a song that someone else has already performed. Most artists have done covers. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, for example, both started out exclusively playing covers before they began to write their own songs.This episode presents two of my covers. I prefer to call them “reimagined versions” because I always try to make my covers as original as possible. The first is “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks. It features the wonderful Lucy Woodward on vocals. Dave Davies of The Kinks has praised our cover. The second is “The ‘In' Crowd”, Dobie Gray's hit that was also a jazz hit for Ramsey Lewis. It features the sublime Ziarra Washington on vocals.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“You Really Got Me” (Spotify link here) from The Queens Carnival album.

Singer and Songwriter Gary Pratt - With over a decade in the music industry, renowned country singer Gary Pratt is sharing his unique country sound with the masses. While this is my introduction to Pratt, he has already established a name in the US music scene. Performing with artists like Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan, Ronnie Milsap, Dwight Yoakum, Neal McCoy and Crystal Gale, as well as playing notable festivals like the Rocky Gap Music Festival and Tennessee State Fair, Pratt has built a loyal following – a following that continues to grow. Along with his gigging experience, the US-based singer-songwriter has received several accolades being a Josie Music Awards nominee (2021) and an International Singer-Songwriters Association Songwriter of the Year award winner (2021). Recently he received The ISSA Male Emerging Artist of 2022 and The Hollywood Red Carpet Fair Play Award for his song Country to the Bone." Gary has been featured in The Hollywood Digest, Skope Magazine, Music Update Central, and New Music Weekly (to name a few publications), Pratt is described as good-natured, anthemic and “…setting the world on fire” (New Music Weekly). Coming off his 2021 album Something Worth Remembering, Gary Pratt is a singer, a songwriter, but most of all, an energetic country entertainer who connects with his audience. His last two songs have hit number one on the International Itunes Chart. He grew up in the small, old coal mining town of Slickville, Pennsylvania. His current recording project, "Something Worth Remembering", is dedicated to his brother who recently passed. The album is a combination of Gary's originals and songs written by credited Nashville writers. The title track was written by Grammy Award Nominee Tony Arata, who wrote Garth Brooks' "The Dance". This project has been in the making for over a year. In addition to this awesome album, Gary has recorded a Christmas Album, entitle "Angels in the Snow" which is sure to be a hit this holiday season. Both projects were recorded at Tonic Studios with Engineer Doug Kasper, Producer Bryan Cole and Musician/Artist Adam Ernst.Gary is forever thankful to God for walking with him through life, paving this music journey and for putting the gift of music in his heart. Not only has music been an outlet emotionally and has helped Gary through some rough times, it has brought family together and has introduced him to some of the most amazing people he is proud to call friends.www.garyprattmusic.comgaryprattmusic@aol.comwww.facebook.com/garyaprattwww.facebook.com/groups/garyprattmusicwww.Instagram.com/garyprattmusicwww.garyprattmusic.comwww.youtube.com/user/garypratt1www.twitter.com/GaryPra73985764https://www.tiktok.com/@garyprattmusicListen

The Captain of The Lost Waves - Interview Mysterium Tremedum by The Captain of The Lost Waves. This is a pastoral PROG album that mixes elements of ELO, Tears For Fears, Japan, Tangerine Dreams to make a quite remarkable album. 'The Captain' talks about spiritual energy, self-identity, melancholy and depression and how music has helped him through some very difficult periods of his life. This is visceral music for the mind and body, full of dreamy verses, life affirming choruses and sheer audacity. Where melodic invention meets alternative folk, progressive, world and ambient sounds. Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music) as “…completely extraordinary…”, Captain of the Lost Waves exceeds the average and makes the impossible possible. A storyteller by nature, his music connects with listeners as he shares intimate musical tales within genre-defying melodies. This is my introduction to Captain of the Lost Waves, but the UK-based Captain has been turning heads across the globe featured on Hollywood Digest, The Huffington Post and Rock N Reel (to name a few).

Welcome to the second Music Day episode! The theme of this episode is Latin Music.I grew up in New York City. My father - who played the trumpet - loved Latin music and used to keep the car radio tuned to all the Latin stations. So that's how I first became exposed to this great music with its fantastic beat and feel. Later on, when I formed my band, Project Grand Slam, it so happened that the majority of my musicians came from Latin countries like Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico. They brought their wonderful Latin heritage and feel to my music and I decided that I needed to write some Latin songs.“The Queen's Carnival” is from the PGS album of the same name. The title was a bit of a play on words because I grew up in Queens, NY. But I named it after the Royal Queen because when I wrote it I envisioned a big, royal carnival presided over by the Queen. See what you think.“Take Me” is from the album PGS 7. For me it was a kind of road trip through the Latin neighborhoods of New York City. Listen and see if you can hear, smell and taste them.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“The Queen's Carnival” (Spotify link here) from The Queens Carnival album.

Welcome to the first Music Day episode! As a professional musician I've written more than 100 songs, and I feature a different song in every episode of the podcast underneath the introduction and at the end.Each Music Day episode will feature two of my songs that fit the episode's theme. Today's theme is breakup songs. Breakups are very emotional. And painful. Probably everyone has experienced one at some point. I've chosen two of my breakup songs: “Lament” and “No No No”. “Lament” is about deception. She desperately loves him, and he says that he loves her too. But he's deceiving her. “No No No” is about a relationship that's just not working out, and she decides that it has to end. Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“Lament” Spotify link here. “No No No” Spotify link here. Both are from the Project Grand Slam album “Trippin'” Spotify link here. —---------------------------------------- “Dream With Robert Miller”. Click here.

“When we are able to express ourselves, we can let go of different things that we've been through.” Kendra Muecke.

[2:46] I started doing professional vocal lessons, professional dancing, and acting lessons which became my everything. [3:13] I would go down to the theater several times a week and acted and learned all the songs and made friends. [3:20] Later on, I got into sports too but pretty much my entire life has been about acting, theater, and the arts. [3:32] Later on, in high school, I got into rock and roll music and philosophical questioning and spirituality, guitar and poetry too which has played a big part in my career. [3:41] I feel like art is the extension of my expression. [4:22] I would go through these experiences and make them part of my memory and that is where the song comes in. [5:10] 2020 was a total surprise. I had some tours booked but had to shift my mindset and postpone all the events. [7:23] I however decided to go ahead and switch to all online since I was already very active on social media and I had live-streamed a little bit. [8:15] I live-streamed over 150 shows last year and partnered with venues across the country and did a virtual live stream tour concert with people all over the country. [8:30] For people that were really creative about doing this, you might you probably reached audiences you wouldn't have. [8:55] I started to be known as ‘the live stream person' and so I got a lot of opportunities from people just by word of mouth because I was consistently showing up. [9:02] I am now doing a little bit of professional live streaming where I've been signed on by an agency to help grow another platform. [9:13] It gave us a reason to put a pause button on things and think and so a lot of my songs and moments came in particular from being at home experiencing this year. [9:52] I will talk about the song ‘Self-love Proclamation' since you talked about it earlier which I was recently nominated for three Josie awards. [11:00] ‘Self-love proclamation' is co-written with a lot of people in Nashville and is all about just ripping off the band-aid and saying this is who I am and I'm going to love myself for who I am and that journey to finding ourselves is evident in the song. [11:15] Commercial Break. [11:40] Song teaser [12:50] There are so many different things that come to mind, the first thing would be the healing element to art. [15:01] When we can express ourselves, we can let go of different things that we've been through. [15:08] I work sometimes with this nonprofit based in Los Angeles, called artists for trauma and is where people who have PTSD, physical, mental, veterans, emotional, spiritual healing, come together to do art and I think that encapsulates what art can do for us. [15:14] It's done that for me personally, just like dealing with, you know, different racing thoughts, or whatever goes on in my life, I'm able to channel that into the guitar or into a poem or lyrics, and let it go. [15:35] The next thing would be the cohesion of community thought that can be showcased through an event. [16:09] It is also a really good way to start conversations in a way that is accommodating to different perspectives. [17:16] Sometimes I think about how there's there is art written about the previous history, but then I realize that we are creating history every day. [18:31] I'm really excited to see people start to go back to concert venues and have those shared experiences because we've craved being together in those shared experiences. [18:58] It still may take a while but I think we're going to appreciate it even more now. [19:10] I watched a lot of live streams with different artists and put on a lot of different live streams with different artists. [20:02] The one thing that I've been going back to over and over right now is, only you know. [22:08] We can take advice and we can listen to other people and we can listen for clues from the universe but at the end of the day, it's about our own perspective and how we filter in. [22:14] This means this only we know our true north and our true path. [22:40] …………………………………………………………………………………… Thank You to our August Sponsor!

Robert is releasing the songs on his new album, Miller Rocks, in a completely novel way: each in a separate Bonus Music Episode. This 4th episode's song, “To The Zoo!”, is very different from all the other songs on the album. It's a children's song - about a fun filled, imaginary visit to the zoo. Robert wrote it for his grandchildren. Think of it as an updated version of Paul Simon's 1968 song, “At The Zoo”.The reviews of “To The Zoo!” have been so heartwarming. Indie Shark calls it “joyous” and a “standout”. Hollywood Digest calls it “immensely refreshing”. Indie Music Reviews says its got an “early Beach Boys sound”. And Daily Dose Report says it has “so much playful energy and works on a universal level”.If you have young children or grandchildren play them “To The Zoo!”. It will bring a smile to their faces.

It's so important and crucial that I love what I do, because I'm doing it all the time. Relish in all the accomplishments big and small. “I think maybe it makes us dig deeper into who we are and analyze what we really want in life, but to just dwell in self doubt, doesn't serve a purpose.” - Kendra She can make a new decision and turn it in an emotional realm and in a realm that makes more sense at the time. If we change where we are, then we change the future, and we change all those people's lives. And that changes like the face of reality. Instead of career and naming lights, I'm learning to regain a loving life just for living. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/support
