Moira McGuire
In this enlightening episode, your host Fred Johnson talks with Moira G. McGuire, retired nurse officer with the US Public Health Service and Assistant Chief, General Internal Medicine and chief of Integrative Health & Wellness at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda. She was the Program Manager of Warrior Clinic, and the founder of the first arts and health program at a military treatment facility for the Defense Health Agency. The focus of her professional work lies in the belief that creativity and expression are not only essential elements in the treatment of illness and injury, but in the prevention of them as well. Moira presents some innovative ideas about how we should be including mental health and creative skills as part of standard military readiness measurements. The benefits of allocating time for creative expression are especially evident as military personnel interact with their families, their fellow soldiers, and the general public. Being creative is a crucial part of being healthy and ready for anything!

Theo and Brianne Rooding
Fred Johnson, the host and guiding light of these podcasts, sits down for a deep conversation with Theo and Brianne Rooding. Theo is an Army veteran who was medially discharged after a severe injury. His road back to civilian life led him and his wife to the Tampa Bay Area, and together were introduced to the Veteran Civilian Arts Ensemble at the Straz Theater. Theo worked with Guitars for Vets in Nashville, and his introduction to music therapist Natalie Quintana opened the door to expressing himself through music. As a veteran Theo was seeing the world as a dangerous place, but working with the Ensemble and experiencing the joy of music helped him to recalibrate his feeling. "The world doesn't have to be a scary place," says Brianne, "and it is wonderful to hear him immersed in his music." Theo often provides the music for the Ensembles performances, and Brianne is still amazed that she is singing and dancing! Together they are sharing this opportunity to create something new.
