Episode Synopsis

In this deeply spontaneous episode of The Chai Podcast, I sit down with Edwin—an artist, neighbor, and kindred spirit I met by chance at the local market.What begins as a funny garden story unfolds into a layered conversation about loss, healing, creativity, and the quiet rebellion of being fully present. We talk about art as process, grief as transformation, and how fear blocks play, joy, and possibility.Edwins work - www.eyetrance.beThemes include:• Reclaiming creativity without judgment• Mourning as a sacred transition• The spiritual act of making art and letting it go• Finding heaven on earth through connection, nature, and small moments
