Hey friends,
I am getting into a bit of a spring podcasting groove and it's an honour to tell you a bit more about my beautiful guest Chase McMurren. Talking to him gave me so much to think and giggle about as well as a wave of comfort and inspiration. I hope you'll love this conversation as much as I did! Here is some of what we talked about: 
Meeting grief and heart ache with gentleness
Supporting our artist hearts
Caring for our elders 
Hot beverage as everyday rituals
Slowing down to real delight
