April 30, 2023 12:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBIn this episode, Luis shares with us his perspective and personal experience as to why trauma and art are similar.

March 19, 2023 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBIn this episode, Luis invites us to challenge, question and explore the commonly held overcoupling that death equals loss.
