In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, Furkhan welcomes classical pianist Jeeyoon Kim, who shares her fascinating life story. Starting with a childhood love for music, Jeeyoon details her struggles with family expectations, a tumultuous relationship with her father, and a challenging marriage. Despite these obstacles, she found solace and meaning in music. Jeeyoon emphasizes the power of storytelling and emotional connection in her performances and describes how she uses music to heal herself and others. She also touches on her journey as an author and her ongoing efforts to break free from past relationship patterns. This heartfelt conversation delves into the transformative power of music and the resilience required to overcome life's adversities. Award-winning classical pianist Jeeyoon Kim has delighted audiences across the United States and the world with her combination of sensitive artistry, consummate musicianship, impeccable technique, and engaging and innovative concert experiences.’ (New York Classical Review) ​ Since her celebrated 2016 debut album 10 More Minutes, Jeeyoon has continued to captivate listeners with her artistry and heartfelt communication on stage. Her second album and concert project, Over. Above. Beyond, expanded the boundaries of traditional piano performance through an innovative collaboration with New York-based visual artist Moonsub Shin. The resulting multimedia concert and its award-winning music video exemplified Jeeyoon’s commitment to creating a new concert experience that unites sound, imagery, and emotion. ​ Her next project, 시음 /si-úm/—developed during her residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity’s “Concert in the 21st Century” program—fused poetry, black-and-white photography, and music to explore the intersection of sound, silence, and the senses. ​ In 2025, Jeeyoon releases her latest album, Radiance, a collaboration with contemporary visual artists from ten different countries that offers a new light and interpretation of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Through this project, she reimagines the iconic work with a modern sensibility—blending sound, colour, and visual storytelling to invite audiences into a fresh, immersive experience. Radiance celebrates light in all its forms: emotional, spiritual, and artistic. ​ Also in 2025, Jeeyoon expands her artistic storytelling through her fourth book, Beyond the Keys: Music and Stories of Inspiration. The book pairs fifty-two reflective essays with QR-linked piano performances, inviting readers to experience her music and writing in harmony. It follows her previous books, including Whenever You’re Ready (2021), a self-help memoir in concert form that resonated deeply with readers worldwide and became a top-three bestseller in South Korea’s self-help category. Jeeyoon began studying the piano at the age of four, and her love of music propelled her through her undergraduate studies in piano performance in her native South Korea. After moving to the United States, she earned her Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance, with Distinction, from Indiana University’s renowned Jacobs School of Music. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:51 Early Life and Musical Beginnings 02:08 Family Struggles and Determination 06:03 Reconnecting with Father 09:13 Life in America and Marriage 11:03 Challenges and Divorce 17:03 New Beginnings and Career Shift 19:29 Creating and Funding an Album 24:28 The Power of Storytelling in Music 34:35 The Healing Power of Music 36:59 Connecting with Composers 38:58 The Language of Music 46:03 Performance and Anxiety 54:36 Personal Growth and Relationships 01:01:16 Choosing Light and Letting Go 01:08:24 Final Thoughts and Resources Subscribe to the EZ Reflections Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ez-reflections-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Furkhan welcomes Matthew Dickson, who hails from Eastern Canada, to discuss his journey with schizophrenia. Matthew shares his experiences from the onset of symptoms during university to his struggles and eventual stability with the help of medication. He emphasizes the importance of breaking stigma, the role of empathy, and self-care. Matthew also highlights his advocacy work, including a website providing mental health tips and initiatives to support those with mental illness in developing countries. His story serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action for greater understanding and support. Matthew Dickson helps people with mental illness in developing countries get access to basic mental health care at MindAid.net. Mind Aid is the world's first website that brings together all the organizations working on mental health in developing countries on one site (they are otherwise scattered across the web). These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable. Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, Zak Williams (son of Robin Williams), and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics. Matthew has successfully recovered from schizophrenia and has bicycled across Canada twice. He also created www.DonateIndigenous.ca, listing the indigenous charities in Canada, so people can know where to donate to offer their help and support. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:46 Matthew's Early Life and Onset of Schizophrenia 01:36 University Struggles and Initial Diagnosis 03:26 Living with Schizophrenia: Symptoms and Misconceptions 06:35 Pain and Emotional Challenges 08:34 Coping Mechanisms and Mental Resilience 16:14 Hallucinations and Violence Misconceptions 19:52 Genetic Factors and Neurotransmitters 21:34 Overwhelmed by Stimuli 22:19 The Role of Dopamine 24:25 Sharing My Story 28:18 Empathy and Support 37:00 The Power of Reading 39:39 Final Thoughts and Resources Sponsors of the Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BetterHelp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For 10% off your first month of therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aura⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: For a free two-week trial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dookio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NuCalm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: for a one-week free trial ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Descript ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LeanWorlds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Lewis Nutrition ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WeInspect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Optery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Or find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.
