012: Visiting Holy Sites (feat. Blenderface)
In the Season 2 finale of How We Heal, I sit down with Nathan, aka BLENDERFACE, at Picture This Production Studios -- the most professional setting our podcast has seen so far. We dive into everything from the origin of his stage name and early creative experiments to the ways technology, AI, and the internet have shaped art and critical thinking. Nathan opens up about his unique creative process: making aggressive music when happy, using food to cope with grief, and the joy of experimenting with art that's fun and silly while still being meaningful. We also discuss the challenges of the music scene, the invisible pressures artists face, and the subtle power of witnessing and being seen online. Our conversation touches on health, past habits, coping mechanisms, and how exploring spirituality and travel helps Nathan feel connected to something greater. Along the way, we share hilarious tangents, reflect on childhood memories, and explore how empathy shapes responsible creativity. This episode is full of insight, humor, and the kind of deep, human connection that makes How We Heal so special.

011: H.A.N.D. feat. (3/4ths of icdouble)
In this rowdy, reflective, and unexpectedly spiritual episode, 3/4ths of ic double (IC, CJ, & Hayden) pull up to How We Heal for a conversation that spans music, memory, and meaning. We cover the usual HWH terrain: healing, growth, and the cost of vulnerability; but also veer into their musical origins, their love for film and basketball. IC shares a surreal story of learning chess from a one-eyed bachelor who lived next door to a chess-playing pimp, and somehow it all makes sense. We discuss the criminality of Spotify, why fans have to show up in real life, and how buying merch can literally keep artists afloat. We even touch on theology, asking the age-old question: Was Jesus the sexiest of the prophets? We discuss: - The bands early beginning - Life outside the music: film, basketball, thrifting, and what fuels their art - IC's wild chess origin story - Reflections on healing, growth, and recovery - Critique on Spotify: how the platform underpays artists and funds war - Why showing up to live shows matters - Tangible merch vs. streaming - The power of community in the underground Portland music scene Support the show: - Subscribe so you don't miss a moment of Season Two - Follow "How We Heal" on Instagram: @HowWeHealPDX The conversations shared here and with peers are meant for support and connection, not professional therapy.
