Comfort doesn't mean you're better off...comfort is not the same thing as happiness, and strong negative emotions are not necessarily a bad thing.
Ever wondered how music can mend a broken spirit? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Timothy Showalter, the creative force behind Strand of Oaks. Showalter opens up about his critically acclaimed album, Heal, and how it emerged from a deeply personal crisis. He takes us back to his teenage years in Goshen, Indiana, where music became his refuge amidst feelings of alienation.
Heal isn't about gentle healing; it's about raw, cathartic release—like scream therapy for the soul. Showalter’s journey through music is a testament to its power to provide comfort and strength during life's toughest moments. He shares how embracing all parts of oneself, even the darker sides, can lead to a more meaningful and purposeful life. Showalter also touches on the art of songwriting and storytelling, explaining how it helps him connect with himself and others on a deeper level.
If you're seeking inspiration or want to understand how music can be a powerful tool for mental well-being, this episode offers a heartfelt conversation that shouldn't be missed.
