Description

S. Wills is a millennial musician and songwriter running a successful music entertainment business booking bands for big events. In his adolescence, he felt coerced into participating in what he describes as a vitriolic divorce that lasted years and followed him into his college days. The divorce shaped his experience of love, his values, his ambitions, and his analytic nature. He is here today to discuss his thoughts on attachment theory and how to reframe one's mind. He’s able to look back at his parents' divorce and find not just sympathy for them but for himself. He wants to learn about the nature of love in order to open him up again helping him write the next big love song.
