In this episode, I interview my daughter, Allegra Thelemaque, illustrator and writer, about the idea of feeling like you belong in your body. We also discuss how finding one's own sense of style can help redefine the concept of beauty. Allegra and I both have myotonic dystrophy, a multi-system disease that can affect muscle strength, muscle stiffness, eyes, digestive system, brain, heart, and increase the risk of certain cancers. Allegra identifies as neurodivergent. We talk about how meeting others with the same condition has provided a sense of understanding and support. Allegra shares her personal journey and offers some advice to me on self-acceptance and belonging.

Connecting Through Music: A Voicemail from Joey Held

On this episode of Art Heals All Wounds, I share a voicemail from Joey Held, who talks about the impact of music on building a sense of belonging and the ability of art to heal. Joey hosts a podcast called Good People, Cool Things but he’s also a member of the band Burning Years. Joey talks about the way he sees music bringing people together during the band’s shows. He also shares an incredible experience with a fan of the band—a recent transplant from Dublin, Ireland, to Austin, Texas where Joey lives. This fan told him that before he left Dublin, he had been in a pub that played one of Burning Years’ songs and that the entire pub began singing along. They knew all of the words! A reminder that art knows no boundaries, it transcends cultures to create connections.
