It was SUCH a blast. I kick off S3 talking about some challenges that impact my creative projects this year and why I'm moving forward with The 100-Day Project in spite of them. Want to join me?

S3Ep1: And Now For Something Completely Different...

Tina Doniger

I don't know about you, but I always tend to get a little introspective this time of year. It feels important to take a look back on where we've been to give perspective and context to where we're going. I couldn't think of a better guest to chat about the saga of 2020 than with Executive Director of the Community Resource Center here in Nashville. I hope you enjoy this Year-in-Review conversation with my dear friend, Tina Doniger.

My guest today is a life-long stationery lover and postal proponent and in the middle of a digital age where we were forced to quarantine, she continued to believe in the power of old-fashioned mail to create authentic connections. Here’s my conversation with my friend, Courtney Cochran.

Everyone has a story worth sharing. It’s in those stories where we discover songs — everything from the rallying cries we sing to pump us up to the celebratory music that makes us dance after a win. But what about the in-between of liminal space?STARTING WITH A SONG explores how people "sing" and find joy in their circumstances; how they persevere between the no longer and not yet. As a child of the 80s raised in an analog age where mixtapes were the ultimate form of communication, I'll also be talking about literal songs that time travel back to our favorite times and places.

Great job “Mandy!” I get to call you that because of near death experiences, cheerleading, show choir, Heritage Drama, and a host of other meteorites. 

This is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your podcast!

I have an original Mixed tape!

Karen Wyler

I'm really excited to introduce you to two people who have known me my entire life... literally. My parents are a constant source of inspiration for me and, in fact, their story - something they're going through this very moment - was a source of inspiration for this podcast. Enjoy this conversation with two of my very best friends: Bill &amp; Karen Wyler.

002 - Song of Joy with Bill and Karen Wyler

Since it's the week before Valentine's Day, I wanted to sit down with a favorite couple of mine. I attended Belmont University with Jeff &amp; Kristin Hoehne in the early 2000s, but it wasn't until recently that our friendship grew roots. These two combine their generous hearts with an open door that has made a huge impact on my life as well as many others.

Sarah Robinson

You know that moment when you meet someone and you just click? I met Sarah Robinson in early 2019 and was instantly drawn to her big heart and her compassion for people who are struggling. She has a way with words — both spoken and written — that lead you to truths of how seen and loved you truly are.

Chris Lee

Chris Lee and I met as young professionals, both very early on in our careers. You may wonder what a CPA has to do with music, but he’s here to change your mind. We dive into band instruments, competitive dancing, Beck, and defining moments that turned into a Homecoming.

Beth Inglish

Am I the only one getting a little stir crazy here? The past two weeks have felt like one blow after another here in Nashville - first the tornado and now a global pandemic. With all the recent cancellations in the news, I just want to open with this reminder:  Conversations will not be cancelled.  Relationships will not be cancelled.  Love will not be cancelled.  Songs will not be cancelled.  Reading will not be cancelled.  Self-care will not be cancelled.  Hope will not be cancelled.   Whether you agree with media recommendations or not, let’s use this time to lean into the good stuff that remains. Let’s rest, love others from afar, let’s start with a song and keep singing. Coincidentally, my guest and I talk about some of this very same stuff. To Nashvillians, she needs no introduction, but for everyone else – I hope you enjoy this conversation with artist, speaker, comedienne, and founder of the Nashville Creative Group, Beth Inglish.
