“Our body is made up of water, and music vibrates us.” - Paul Cardall
If you've ever had the perfect song start playing on the radio when you needed it most, listened to a song that made you cry, or felt nostalgic as music carried you back in time, then you know just how powerful music can be.
I'm beyond delighted to welcome Paul Cardall to the show to have him share his insights on how music can help us heal in times of grief or sorrow.
Paul has been endorsed as one of the world's finest pianists and is an award-winning musician, composer, and producer. He has held 11 number one Billboard albums and is one of the most listened to artists of modern time with 30 million monthly listeners.
His work with music goes so much deeper than what you initially hear on the surface: Paul was born with congenital heart disease and half of a functioning heart. He has not only walked in the shoes of a child managing chronic illness and undergoing a transplant, but has also extensively witnessed the stories that take place within the walls of a children's hospital.
Paul shares beautiful stories of resilience, grief, loss, and hope (some of which inspired his work, like Gracie's Theme). His passion for music and faith has not only helped guide him through his journey but has also touched many people's lives.
His partnership with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation helps children's hospitals nationwide embrace music therapy and inspires us to work through our grief and help others do the same.
I have no doubt that you'll love his advice on how to help children define themselves outside of their illness, how music and creativity have their own healing powers, and how we can all find joy in our journey by being present and expressing gratitude.
