In this unique and deeply moving episode, we sit down with our good friend, musician, and entrepreneur, Clare Hedin. Clare takes us on a journey into the world of sound alchemy, exploring how music and vibration can be powerful tools for personal and collective regeneration. She shares her personal story of finding her purpose, not through a predefined plan, but by following a persistent sense of longing and taking courageous leaps into the unknown.

Join us as we discuss how sound can help us navigate challenges, dissolve problems, and reconnect with a profound sense of belonging. Clare offers practical wisdom for entrepreneurs on how to work through moments of darkness and uncertainty, and reminds us that the work of healing the planet is, first and foremost, an inside job. This conversation is a beautiful exploration of the intersection between art, healing, and the regenerative movement.
