    Courtney Marie Andrews, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter & poet joins Katie Pruitt to talk about her non-conventional upbringing in Phoenix Arizona & her personal journey to self actualization. Andrews admits that her life has been a series of "fumbling into adventures." Before she even conceptualized a music career she busked on the corner & took greyhound buses from city to city purely for the experience of it, explaining that the only real pay-off was "the woman crying in the front row." In this episode we talk about the spiritual practices that keep her centered, how tragedy & suffering gives us perspective & why being kind is the most important accolade of all.

    Indie Folk Singer-Songwriter, Izzy Heltai joins Katie Pruitt in her living room for a candid conversation about gender identity, mental health & trans representation in the media. Growing up Trans in the early 2000’s in Massachusetts didn’t come without its fair share of struggles for Heltai but with it, he’s gained patience, a strong sense of self & a seemingly massive amount of empathy even for the people who have hurt him. Join Pruitt & Heltai on this week's episode as they dive into why positive Trans representation is essential for oppositional parties to see trans people, not as some controversial label, but as the individual human beings they truly are.
