Welcome back to Harmonics! While Beth is planning a brief hiatus from the show (at least regarding new episodes - you can still follow along with everything Harmonics via our newsletter and Instagram) she is sending us off with one new episode to hold us over. For this episode, Beth sits down with roots music favorite and Grammy nominee Amythyst Kiah.Kiah tells the story of her life's musical journey, discusses the importance of claiming her space in the roots music world as a queer Black woman, and ponders religion, philosophy, and spiritual moments experienced through music. The pair also talk about mental health and the transformative power of therapy, feeling like an outside and the dangers of isolation, repressing feelings and toxic positivity, and wonder: do we each truly have a specific purpose in life?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

It's been a long dark night... but we're rested and ready for a new day with the help of Ms. Dolly Parton and her inspirational lyrics, and spirit. If you tuned in for our episode with Hilary Jackendoff a while back, you're familiar with the practice of Yoga Nidra - in short, it's a guided meditation intending to bring us to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping - and it makes for some serious relaxation and rejuvenation. Beth recently completed her Yoga Nidra teacher training, and who better to inspire her first meditation than Dolly?Episode Art - Image from Dolly Parton's 'New Harvest...

Let's face it: times are pretty dark right now - but what else is new? Harmonics was born out of a love for music and its healing powers, and we are once again turning towards art to pull us through. Today, Beth is joined by Amy Reitnouer Jacobs - Executive Producer of Harmonics and owner of The Bluegrass Situation - who shares with us the fruits of her curatorial labor in the form of her top albums getting her through the summer: from heart-wrenching yet uplifting folk songs by Allison Russell, to the vibey, Don Henley-esque sounds of John Mayer's recent release, on through to '70s Japanese pop, and stopping everywhere in between.Music featured in this episode:Allison Russell, "All Of The Women"Dante Elephante, "Find Somebody To Love"Tony Joe White, "Boot Money"Valerie June, "You And I"John Mayer, "Last Train Home"Yellow Magic Orchestra, "Behind the Mask"Sara Watkins, "Moon River"Listen to these songs and albums here: https://spoti.fi/3y1dDDgBistro Vibes GQ article: https://www.gq.com/story/introducing-bistro-vibesFor more music recs, visit https://thebluegrasssituation.comAmy's Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3CZnwFgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Yoga Nidra teacher Hilary Jackendoff has written a meditation just for Harmonics listeners, providing us with an opportunity to access an embodied experience of undoing, effortlessness, and letting go. Through Yoga Nidra, we learn what it feels like to truly release everything that we're holding onto - physically, mentally, emotionally - so that we can know deep rest, reconnect to our own true nature, and feel at home and at ease within our own being.

She and Beth have an honest and open conversation about sobriety, religion and Abby’s youth in the Catholic church - and her relationship to it as she accepted her sexuality at a young age. She explains the importance of sports for all kids to develop an ability to take care of themselves, discusses the necessity of exercise and movement for maintaining her mental health, and the disparity between men and women’s earnings and treatment in professional sports - and a huge realization she had while standing onstage between Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning as they were all three honored upon their retirements.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we bring you an emotional conversation with Tony and Emmy-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth. Having recently lost a lifelong voice teacher and dear friend to COVID-19 at the time of this interview, Chenoweth brings a very open conversation about grief and mental health, talking with host Beth Behrs about her struggles with depression and anxiety during the pandemic, and throughout her life - accepting that she does need to acknowledge her mental health struggles, even though due to her public persona, most people expect her to be "rainbows and glitter" 24/7.
