The Stick That Didn't Fly: Neil Peart, Rush, and the Echoes We Carry

The Stick That Didn't Fly: Neil Peart, Rush, and the Echoes We Carry

There are moments in life that seem insignificant to everyone else, but for us, they can completely shatter us. In today's episode, I'll be sharing a moment that happened at the Kia Forum in LA during Rush's tribute to their drummer, Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020. How that drumstick that didn't fly made me realize the depth of my grief and the impact he had on my life. And how that moment reminded me that grief does not move in a straight line. Because our bodies remember what sometimes our minds cannot explain. For me, Rush became the language and validation I needed. They were my companion, my stability, and my comfort. And eventually, I realized that part of loving something deeply is learning how to let it go. Come join me in The Alchemy Transmission for a deep and honest exploration of music, grief, connection, and the ways we find ourselves again through loss. Enjoy the podcast?

Why do we keep going back to the very things that hurt us, even when we know better?

People Came for Tattoos But Stayed for the Conversation

They came for tattoo advice. What they really needed was someone to look them in the eyes and say: you are not crazy for feeling this way. In this solo episode, Melinda shares what happened when she spent Mother's Day at her daughter's tattoo event and became the unexpected resident mom advisor. Strangers opened up about their relationships, their careers, their grief, and their quiet sense of being lost. And it reminded her of just how many of us are walking around carrying enormous questions while trying to look completely fine on the outside.
