Episode Synopsis

Episode #35Joy is the lead singer for Catapult City, an Indie band based in Central Virginia. Hearing how the band came together and her role in it was such an honor to hear directly from her, and I'm so glad it could be captured in this conversation. I'm also thankful to her for the opportunity to be able to share pieces of my own story and share pieces of wisdom I've learned on my own journey.
