   Ep- 24: Music, Mental Health, and Making Space to Feel.

   In Episode 24 of Key to the Bridge, Dr. Erica Bosque sits down with Keystone's Clinical Director and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Karena Weil, for a conversation that moves from Grateful Dead parking lots to mental health leadership, and everywhere in between. Karena shares her unconventional early journey, including leaving home as a young teen and finding belonging in collective community spaces centered around music and art. That experience shaped her belief that healing doesn't only happen in therapy offices , it happens in connection, creativity, and shared joy. Together, Erica and Karena explore: Why collective joy is essential for mental health The role of music, creativity, and safe risk-taking in healing Helping people love themselves (according to a very wise five-year-old) Why not everything meaningful has to be monetized How communities can reclaim connection without it costing $130 and a ticket This episode is about reclaiming expression, expanding what "care" looks like, and imagining new ways to build community in a world that feels increasingly divided. If you've ever felt "too much," silenced your voice, or wondered how to bring more joy into your life, this conversation is for you.

   Ep- 22: Growing Up in a Big Family: Holiday Traditions, Laughter, and Love.

   In this festive episode of Key to the Bridge, host Erica Bosque sits down with her sisters, Veronica Bosque and Alexica Bosque, for a holiday conversation. Together they revisit the magic and chaos of growing up in a big, blended family, where celebrations were loud, food-filled, and always overflowing with community. The sisters share hilarious memories, from stockings at every house, to epic dinner menus, to the unique traditions shaped by their African American, Irish, and Spanish roots. They dive into childhood gifts that shaped them, holiday movies they can't live without, and how they now create magic for their own kids. They also talk about what makes their family gatherings special today: the volume, the joy, the open-door Sunday dinners, and the importance of keeping celebrations low-pressure, communal, and full of love.
