Our conversation this week is with Eliza Edens, a Berkshires-bred, Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter. Eliza's music captures the intangible beauty of our world. It beckons you to pay attention, be astonished, and go deep beneath the surface to find the infinity within us. The power of her songs is derived not from the quantity of words used, but from the fact that she believes every word she sings. Her debut record, "Time Away From Time", will stand the test of its subject as a galvanizing force for a life well-lived. This episode is full of wisdom on authenticity, change, and reflection. You'll also learn about Eliza's favorite podcast episode to fall asleep to and hear her spontaneously sing a rediscovered tune.
