An ex-wannabe-world-changer asks "what the hell is up" with local artists and changemakers. Each episode, I'll chat with artists who offer proof that art has the power to inspire authenticity, community, and change. You'll hear local indie music, conversations that provoke inspiration, and my own reflections. I once thought that I had to sacrifice my love of the arts to help change the world, now I believe that beauty and art have the power to connect and change us –maybe more than anything else.
3.20: Rooted in The End FEAT. They Say by NOAMZ x Guesthouse
Hello my long-lost stars! Where have I been? Living, learning, writing a book... I'm back with (maybe? probably!) one last podcast episode, a formally informal season finale of Season Three: Rooted. Thank you for being here. Today I'm sharing verses from the Radiance Sutras translated by Lorin Roche. I also share a segment from my upcoming book, Rooted. And you'll hear the groovy sounds of NOAMZ!
Be well and take heart.
Love,
Claire

What the hell is up, stars? How are you holding up? Today I offer you an episode Rooted in Love. Featuring the single Little Bit Longer by LA-based singer/songwriter Moselle, this episode contemplates the mysterious, compelling question of what is love? I asked friends, I asked myself, I asked God. And the answer seems to continue to unfold.

Published 18 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] That's why I see curiosity as the greatest act of love. If you're curious about something, you've given it enough attention to express love in inquiry. And you must be willing to be curious about yourself too. Because if you are curious about the other and are provoked to question something, you will inevitably learn something about yourself. For some, that is far too scary. My youthful heart was learning how love could exist in silence. Silence that communicates respect or a genuine acknowledgement. I don't know what to say or to ask to begin to understand an experience so different than my own. the kind of love many of us couldn't understand from our fathers. […]
