In today’s episode, Dr. Mike talks with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ann Wilson of the legendary band Heart about how to cope with feelings of emptiness. Prior to our discussion, Ann had posted on social media a quote from poet Anais Nin about not being able to live in any of the worlds offered to her – that she had to create one of her own. This concept is really at the core of the Hardcore Humanism philosophy which is about peeling away the layers of expectations and mandates that are imposed upon us so that we can explore and connect with our true values, priorities and selves. And during our discussion Ann shares how she comes to understand and cope with even her most painful feelings so that she can discover and connect with her authentic self.
