14. MICHAELTON: resistance as a compass, owning the performance

Grace Nelson: Birth, Death, Emotion & Being Held

“ we're birthing something no matter where we are. ” Grace is a classically trained soprano turned songwriter and multidimensional maker, rooted in an upbringing shaped by a professional-musician father and a visual-artist mother. She now lives in the Twin Cities, at the luminous intersection of art and service as a labor-and-delivery nurse who witnesses life arriving in real time. She moves through the world like an oracle collector: gathering glints of meaning from moonlit deserts, repeating numbers dragonflies, and the deep-blue hush of the unknown. Grace weaves all of this into intimate songs that feel like prayers, confessions, and time capsules of awe. Drawn toward jewel tones, home as sanctuary, and the ongoing work of softening grief into feeling, she creates from devotion: to voice as lifeline, to presence as practice, and to the mysterious water-womb of the void where creation begins again and again.

16. Elly Kace: Sound, Softness, and the Medicine of Truth

Into the void, following the map of the chakras, I journey with Elly Kace: a queer sound-healing mystic and indie artist from Brooklyn, NY, who has graced Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and woven community spaces like the Unstruck Sound Circle and countless deep sound medicine portals. In this episode, Elly traces her creative roots from childhood singing for safety and validation through professional choir and opera, describing ego reckonings that shifted her relationship to sound as service and catharsis rather than performance. We dive into the fear of not belonging, devotion to the divine feminine, cultivating sensual softness, truth-speaking as vocal medicine, and practical guidance like daily low humming and accountability. Elly also shares current projects, including a book on vocal sound healing, her latest hyperpop album, and aspirations like creating a new kind of opera.  00:00 Into the Void 00:30 Meet Elly Case 01:10 Why Record in Darkness 03:19 Body Scan and Inner Vision 06:22 Root Chakra Creative Origins 14:54 Beauty Survival Wound 18:36 Sacral Pleasure and Softness 23:51 Inviting Others to Soften 28:03 Twin Chakras and Development 33:12 Solar Plexus Ego Masks 39:27 Host Creative Confidence Shift 46:01 North Node Courage 47:18 Tears Under Eye Mask 47:57 Devotion to Divine Feminine 51:41 Fear of Being Seen 56:21 Throat Medicine Truth 01:02:30 Humming Practice Liberation 01:06:15 Third Eye Creation List 01:12:49 Following Intuition One Step 01:16:27 Crown Void Channeling 01:21:16 Where to Find Her  01:24:35 Final Farewell Outro Elly’s new album, the Seventh Gate, is now available everywhere, and her tour schedule can be found on her Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ellykacemusic/?hl=en⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ellykacemusic/?hl=en]. The Waitlist for the Visionseed Creative Cohort ( beginning April 2026) is open and filling fast: ⁠https://www.visionseed.co/cohort ⁠ [https://www.visionseed.co/cohort]
