This roundtable discussion of the podcast Music Creativity & Mental Health with Harrison Storm focused on three or four main themes. The first was intuition: how do we know when to trust our intuition? This led to a discusion of what intuition is, when it is needed, and it's relation to expertise. In artistic enterprises intuition is needed to naviagate ambiguity and often results in authentic expression. The second theme was how Harrison used the Covid period to grow personally and artistically, especially by having time to reflect and to explore somatic therapy and the PEM training method to enhance his performances. We also discussed a sense of accomplishment amidst the challenge of not workig a 9-5 job with clear measures of achievements and milestones. Finally, we explored Harrison's growth musically and how he embodies 'appreciative humility.'
