What if the simplest thing you can do—humming—is also one of the most powerful ways to come home to yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Bradford Tilden of Crystal Music Healing, an international bestselling author, composer, classical pianist, angelic shaman, and master intuitive vibrational healer specializing in sound, crystals, gemstone healing, and Universal White Time Healing. Bradford is also one of the pioneering teachers of UWT gemstone and energy healing in North America, and he has a gift for activating the mastery within others through inspiration, education, and energetic attunement.

We talk about the moment he realized sound wasn’t just art, but a sacred practice. How a “humming baby” became a lifelong musician and healer. How crystal tones and sacred voice can organize chaos into clarity. And why your voice, even if you think it’s imperfect, might be the most direct pathway to your intuition.

Bradford also shares a simple daily practice you can start right away (hint: the car or the shower), plus a beautiful reminder: if you don’t love the sound of your own voice yet, it’s not a flaw; it's an invitation to healing.

What if museums were more than places to look, but places to feel, question, and heal?

In this episode, I sit down with Siddhartha Shah, John Wieland 1958 Director of the Mead Art Museum, for a rich and illuminating conversation about the evolving role of museums in our society.

Before coming to Amherst, Siddhartha served as Curator of South Asian Art and Director of Education and Civic Engagement at the Peabody Essex Museum, where he led groundbreaking initiatives, making PEM the first sensory-inclusive art museum in the region, and developing bilingual and accessibility programs that significantly expanded who felt welcome in museum spaces. His work there redefined what it means for cultural institutions to serve their communities with empathy, care, and inclusion.

At the Mead Art Museum on the campus of Amherst College, Siddhartha continues to lead with vision and heart, transforming the museum into a dynamic, living classroom, one where art becomes a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding, emotional resonance, and meaningful dialogue. With advanced degrees in art history, psychology, and archaeology, and years spent curating contemporary Hindu and Buddhist art, his approach reflects a rare integration of intellect, spirit, and soul-centered leadership.

Together, we explore art as a form of communion, the importance of critical visual thinking in an image-saturated world, and how museums can hold complex histories while fostering compassion, curiosity, and connection across difference.

What if aging isn’t a decline, but an awakening?

In this luminous conversation, I sit down with Sophy Burnham, author of 17 books and a trailblazer in spiritual and creative inquiry. From A Book of Angels—the cultural phenomenon that reshaped how we talk about the unseen—to her recent work, The Wonder and Happiness of Being Old, Sophy invites us to rethink intuition, creativity, love, and what it truly means to live fully.

We explore how intuition guides us toward our passionate purpose, why creativity is a radical act of self-expression, and how the invisible world is just as real and instructive as the physical one. Sophy shares her deep reflections on aging as a portal to joy, meaning, and love that matures and deepens with time. We talk about trusting your inner voice, writing letters to your future self, and remembering that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

This episode is an invitation to listen more closely, create more bravely, and welcome the wisdom that comes with every season of life.
