Heather Hill

Taking a musical leap of love and faith in a magical leap year, accomplished and honored Canadian folk-pop singer-songwriter Heather Hill presents her captivating fourth studio album, “Twilight Mist”, a 13-song clarion call to arms providing hope, inspiration and a sonic hug in troubled times. “Twilight Mist” is a cinematic, rapturous collection of etheric songs about matters of the heart, human compassion and the mystical beauty of nature and the cosmos. Hill’s soaring, rich mezzo voice and enchanting piano melodies are expertly woven with grounded world rhythms and neoclassical swells to create a heady soundscape that is all at once earthy, percussive, elemental and transcendent. Hill combines her love of the ‘70s-eramusical aesthetic with a modern, heart and spirit-centric approach.

It's Therapy Thursday!

When the path of self-discovery intersects with the embrace of one's true identity, the journey can be transformative. That's a truth our guest, Ann Russo, knows well as a psychotherapist and advocate for culturally affirming care. Together with the heartening presence of Janet Hale, we traverse the tender terrains of mental health, social justice, and personal identity. Ann sheds light on her mission to aid the queer community, people of color, and those in non-traditional relationships, reinforcing the episode's spirit of inclusivity and compassion.

Woven into our conversation are stories that resonate with the heartache and triumph of coming out, the challenges of familial acceptance, and the dynamic nature of sexual fluidity. We reflect on how societal constructs and family expectations shape our personal truths, while emphasizing the critical role parents play in nurturing spaces for children to discover their authentic selves. The thread of enthusiastic consent and the consequences of identity imposition are unravelled, illustrating the importance of self-exploration without boundaries.

Ending on a note of spiritual solace and the affirmation of selfhood, our dialogue takes a turn towards the healing aspects of spirituality and self-acceptance. Ann's journey through her own therapy practice highlights the accessibility of mental health support and her unwavering commitment to professional growth in the field. Our episode wraps with a hopeful outlook on the upcoming group that addresses the intersection of Christianity and queerness, extending an invitation to our listeners to contribute to this enriching conversation. Join us for an episode that is not just a discussion, but a tribute to the power of embracing one's entire being.
