The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral

It feels like the world wants everyone to think the same way which is why I typically resonate the most with artists who help me look at life with a fresh perspective. Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I'm excited to welcome the incredibly talented writer and musician, Tessa Lena, to the show. I discovered Tessa's articles on Twitter a few months ago and I've been impressed by her passion and by the way she evokes a nuanced perspective while writing about the current state of the world. Tessa is from Moscow and she's currently living in New York so we begin by talking about the strange look of the world and why she's worried about the direction our culture seems to be headed. We discuss the value of artists speaking out against the "narrative" and Tessa talks about what has inspired her to be so outspoken during the lockdown. Tessa is also a wonderful musician so we also talk about the creative process and the impact Spotify and various streaming platforms have had on the music industry.
