Occupy The Void with Xtina

Music has the power to transform our lives. The extremely charismatic Benji Webbe of Skindred chats to Tim and Christina about the importance of positivity, projection, and choice in shaping mental health and wellbeing (especially while writing music during a pandemic). Benji also shares the very personal experience of losing his parents at a young age and the importance of appreciating relationships. As Christina says, every day could be our last ... expressing love and gratitude is essential. In the second half of the episode, Tim and Christina continue to reflect on "happiness as a choice" even in the face of suffering. We spoke about the impact of negative energy and the importance of self-awareness and perspective. We also delve into our own traumatic experiences and how they became transformative opportunities (even when they hurt).
