Harmonics with Beth Behrs

Amythyst Kiah Nov 17, 2021

Welcome back to Harmonics! While Beth is planning a brief hiatus from the show (at least regarding new episodes - you can still follow along with everything Harmonics via our newsletter and Instagram) she is sending us off with one new episode to hold us over. For this episode, Beth sits down with roots music favorite and Grammy nominee Amythyst Kiah.

Kiah tells the story of her life's musical journey, discusses the importance of claiming her space in the roots music world as a queer Black woman, and ponders religion, philosophy, and spiritual moments experienced through music. The pair also talk about mental health and the transformative power of therapy, feeling like an outside and the dangers of isolation, repressing feelings and toxic positivity, and wonder: do we each truly have a specific purpose in life?

Light of a Clear Blue Morning - Rest and Clarity with Dolly Parton Aug 24, 2021

It's been a long dark night... but we're rested and ready for a new day with the help of Ms. Dolly Parton and her inspirational lyrics, and spirit. If you tuned in for our episode with Hilary Jackendoff a while back, you're familiar with the practice of Yoga Nidra - in short, it's a guided meditation intending to bring us to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping - and it makes for some serious relaxation and rejuvenation. Beth recently completed her Yoga Nidra teacher training, and who better to inspire her first meditation than Dolly?

Time for Some Music Recommendations... Aug 17, 2021

Let's face it: times are pretty dark right now - but what else is new? Harmonics was born out of a love for music and its healing powers, and we are once again turning towards art to pull us through. Today, Beth is joined by Amy Reitnouer Jacobs - Executive Producer of Harmonics and owner of The Bluegrass Situation - who shares with us the fruits of her curatorial labor in the form of her top albums getting her through the summer: from heart-wrenching yet uplifting folk songs by Allison Russell, to the vibey, Don Henley-esque sounds of John Mayer's recent release, on through to '70s Japanese pop, and stopping everywhere in between.

Music featured in this episode:

Allison Russell, "All Of The Women"

Dante Elephante, "Find Somebody To Love"

Tony Joe White, "Boot Money"

Valerie June, "You And I"

John Mayer, "Last Train Home"

Yellow Magic Orchestra, "Behind the Mask"

Sara Watkins, "Moon River"

An Opportunity to Let Go Jul 07, 2021

Yoga Nidra teacher Hilary Jackendoff has written a meditation just for Harmonics listeners, providing us with an opportunity to access an embodied experience of undoing, effortlessness, and letting go. Through Yoga Nidra, we learn what it feels like to truly release everything that we're holding onto - physically, mentally, emotionally - so that we can know deep rest, reconnect to our own true nature, and feel at home and at ease within our own being.

Abby Wambach May 18, 2021

She and Beth have an honest and open conversation about sobriety, religion and Abby’s youth in the Catholic church - and her relationship to it as she accepted her sexuality at a young age. She explains the importance of sports for all kids to develop an ability to take care of themselves, discusses the necessity of exercise and movement for maintaining her mental health, and the disparity between men and women’s earnings and treatment in professional sports - and a huge realization she had while standing onstage between Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning as they were all three honored upon their retirements.

Kristin Chenoweth May 11, 2021

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we bring you an emotional conversation with Tony and Emmy-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth. Having recently lost a lifelong voice teacher and dear friend to COVID-19 at the time of this interview, Chenoweth brings a very open conversation about grief and mental health, talking with host Beth Behrs about her struggles with depression and anxiety during the pandemic, and throughout her life - accepting that she does need to acknowledge her mental health struggles, even though due to her public persona, most people expect her to be "rainbows and glitter" 24/7.

May is For Mental Health! May 04, 2021

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Beth slows things down and checks in with a dear friend: Harmonics Executive Producer and BGS Co-Founder Amy Reitnouer Jacobs! While the pandemic is beginning to subside here in the U.S. (and what a wonderful thing it is) let's be real: it's a weird time right now. Folks are getting vaccinated (within so many different timelines, might we add) and some are immediately diving head-first back into society and socialization - six feet be damned. With everyone at varying levels of anxiety - and comfortable speeds of fully returning to the ways of the "before" times - and after a year-plus of having our mental health hit at from every possible direction, we think it's important to take this month of May - Mental Health Awareness Month - to give ourselves and others some grace and set some boundaries. Our mental health is worth it.

Singer, Poet, and Artist Courtney Marie Andrews Apr 27, 2021

This week, in the final installment of our Americana April series here on Harmonics, host Beth Behrs speaks with folk singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews, who has just released Old Monarch, a beautiful collection of poetry, and her very first of its kind. Beth's own deep love of poetry makes for a perfect pair in this episode. On top of her songwriting and poetry, Andrews also had a deep passion for painting, and she and Beth discuss the difference between various artistic outlets and how she moves through a creative block, as well as the joy of creating art simply for the sake of creating art, not necessarily as something to be shared with the world - or with anyone, for that matter. Growing up in the Sonoran desert of Arizona, she has been influenced by the beauty and vastness of the desert since a young age, and the desert and nature in general continue to inspire her art and spirituality to this day. And as we will never know the answers to the major questions of the universe in this realm, Andrews finds comfort in embracing the beauty in the mysteries of life, rather than in the answers. She discusses the feeling of recently playing her first live show to an audience since the pandemic began, reads us some poetry from Old Monarch, and so much more on this episode. Hear our first two installments of Americana April with Fiona Prine (https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/harmonics-with-beth-behrs-fiona-prine/) and Margo Price.

Margo Price Apr 20, 2021

It’s Americana April here on Harmonics, and this week brings a conversation with one of Beth’s all-time favorite artists – Americana or otherwise – Nashville’s very own Margo Price. This past year may have temporarily pulled Margo off the never-ending road of touring, but that doesn’t mean the pace has slowed down – being a mother is a never-ending rush of another kind. She and Beth talk about this time spent at home, from spending time with her children and attempting to instill in them a respect for the earth and for people, to navigating the complexities of a songwriting relationship with her husband, singer-songwriter Jeremy Ivey. Margo also shares her feelings on becoming the first female artist on the board of Farm Aid (a full-circle, bittersweet moment after her family lost the farm when she was young,) the advice she’s gleaned from the greats like Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, working with longtime friend Sturgill Simpson as the producer on her latest album That’s How Rumors Get Started, and so much more.

Fiona Prine Apr 13, 2021

Beth has a conversation with Fiona Prine, President of Nashville's Oh Boy Records, and wife and former manager of the late great songwriter John Prine, whom we lost from COVID-19 last year. The two talk about John’s recent posthumous Grammy wins (and Fiona’s experience accepting the award on his behalf), mental health, growing up in Ireland, her and John’s love story, and so much more. While Fiona is a well-respected figure in the Nashville community in her own right - as a role model as a female label head, an extremely successful manager, and music business professional throughout her life - she has also been able to keep the spirit of John’s incredible legacy alive even after his passing.

Carly Stein (Founder / CEO Beekeeper's Naturals) Apr 06, 2021

This week on Harmonics, Beth speaks with entrepreneur Carly Stein, founder and CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals. Carly talks with Beth about the journey that brought her to the founding of the company, from a childhood and young adult life afflicted with chronic illness and an allergic reaction to Western medicine, a seemingly miraculous discovery of propolis (a substance created by honeybees) as an aid for said illness, and her subsequent endeavors to bring authentically organic, high quality natural bee products to North America through her own beekeeping. Carly’s story is an eye-opening look into the sometimes murky world of wellness, and an inspiring tale of determination and vision.

Dr. Tara Swart Mar 30, 2021

Dr. Tara Swart is a neuroscientist, medical doctor, Senior Lecturer at MIT, and author of best-seller ‘The Source.’ She and host Beth Behrs have an in-depth conversation on neuroplasticity, and how we can physically change the structure of our brains through our thoughts, and therefore, change our lives. Following a full career in medicine, Dr. Tara was surprised to realize the scientific evidence supporting the Law of Attraction, and has since committed her work to helping others use science-backed practices to live their fullest lives.

Carol Burnett Mar 23, 2021

Beth is still pinching herself after this interview with her hero: Carol Burnett has been the object of Beth's idolization since childhood and is the ultimate reason she is now a physical comedian. Not only has her infectious comedic style influenced Beth in every which way, but the two have both been with CBS for a decade, and they bond over their shared experiences of working in front of a studio audience. Burnett tells her story from the first time she realized she was funny (5:54) through the divine intervention (or something like it) that's guided her through her life and career (14:15), muses on her late daughter's mantra that has inspired her outlook on life (26:58), recalls the creative process and origins of the Carol Burnett Show, and being a woman in a "man's game" (28:58), and recounts her lifelong friendship with Julie Andrews (42:40).

Jewel Mar 16, 2021

Welcome to Season 2 of Harmonics! We're kicking things off with incredible four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jewel. She and host Beth Behrs have an insightful conversation about her experience with mindfulness throughout her life as a response to anxiety. Jewel presents multiple tangible skills she has developed along the way that everyone can easily apply to their own lives to expand their mindfulness. She's brought these skills to struggling children as well, having been an avid advocate for mental health awareness and using her platform to lift others up throughout her career. Her work through her own Jewel Never Broken program, in conjunction with the Inspiring Children Foundation, has supported so many children through mental health support, mentoring, education, and equipping them with important life skills, and tools to earn college scholarships and become forces for good in the world. Jewel's honesty regarding her own struggles, and how it informs her creativity, her art, and her life, is incredibly inspiring. Just in case you're not yet convinced you should give this episode a listen - Jewel also gives Beth a personal lesson in yodeling.

The Brothers Koren Interview Beth About Finding Her "Big Voice" Feb 02, 2021

From Beth: "This episode almost didn’t happen. I thought long and hard about taking this step to not only be vulnerable with listeners, but also to put out some music into the world that I never intended to be shared – music that was strictly intended as therapy. But, the reason I started this podcast was to explore how creativity is healing, and also to have creatives be open and honest about the messy bits: everything that forms the human experience. None of us get through life without the messy bits. How could I interview everyone else and hear their open and vulnerable takes on healing and the process of their creativity, and not let you hear the same? I am so grateful to the Brothers Koren. They have an incredible program called the songwriter’s journey where they help folks to reclaim their Big Voice – and to reclaim their power, creativity, and truth through that voice. As musicians themselves they’ve toured with the likes of Coldplay, Pink, and Rod Stewart, but they decided that after so many years in the music industry, they wanted to use their voices, their music and their incredible talents to help others. In this episode we discuss our creative process as we worked together for the past year and a half, after they came into my life at one of the most difficult times for me, especially regarding my relationship to art. I hope you’ll stay tuned to the end of this episode for the premiere of our song “The Moon Will Stay,” which is a collaboration of a poem I wrote for my grandfather and the beautiful music it inspired in Thorald and Isaak Koren." More music from Beth Behrs and the Brothers Koren will be available on Bandcamp later this month. All proceeds will benefit mental health-focused charities.

Trouble Sleeping? Try Doing Nothing About It Jan 26, 2021

Sometimes you have weeks where the ‘ol bag of tricks just isn’t working. Meditating everyday. Exercising. Healthy eating. Beth had one of those weeks where even though she was doing all of her “tricks” to combat anxiety and stress, she wasn’t able to sleep. At all. This is not a fun problem to have. But instead of fighting this fact, she decides to see what would happen when she accepts, nourishes, and embraces the problem - and she learns quite a bit in the process.

Mary Gauthier's name is spoken with reverence in songwriter circles. She’s won countless awards from organizations like the Americana Music Association, GLAAD, and Folk Alliance International, and was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. A Louisiana native, she’s been releasing her own music for over twenty years, but her 2019 record Rifles and Rosary Beads brought a whole new level to her art, when she collaborated with the Songwriting With Soldiers project to put wounded veterans’ stories to song.

The fourth week of Harmonics features actress Tichina Arnold, host Beth Behrs' co-star on CBS's The Neighborhood, along with her sister and manager, Zenay Arnold - both of whom Behrs considers her closest friends, dare she say sisters. In this episode, the three friends discuss faith and trust in the face of life-threatening lupus, the spirituality of music and the musicality of comedy, the timeliness of The Neighborhood as well as the pure spirit on the set, the absolutely necessity of open conversation in active anti-racism, balancing a professional and a familial relationship, and much more. Not only was Tichina Arnold in the original Little Shop of Horrors film, but she's also been a part of countless other works prior to The Neighborhood, including 2019's The Last Black Man in San Francisco, and sitcoms like Martin and Everybody Hates Chris. And her sister Zenay, through it all, has been her biggest fan and partner in show business. In terms of spiritual coaches in her life, Behrs tells us that these two are it. "Their trust in a higher power... and their dedication to leading with kindness is something that is unparalleled in Hollywood, and it's probably why they've had such an incredible career." The sisters' belief that if we lead with kindness, faith, and trust, we're all gonna make it, is a perfect message for 2020.

Brandi Carlile's Keeping Busy in Quarantine Sep 22, 2020

Brandi Carlile speaks with host Beth Behrs about spirituality and wisdom found through horses and nature, performing the album 'Blue' for Joni Mitchell, the joy and connection of live music, and singing with Dolly Parton at the Newport Folk Festival. To a lot of folks, the first time they heard of Brandi Carlile was during her showstopping performance of "The Joke" at the 2019 Grammy awards. Brandi walked away with three trophies that night for her record 'By The Way, I Forgive You' (including Best Americana Album), but she's been honing her distinctive voice and building a dedicated audience for over twenty years, all the while staying committed to building a family and community with her band and team. That commitment has made her the godmother of modern American roots music - as a curator of festival stages, interpreter of the legendary artists who came before, and producer and collaborator for a whole new generation of female artists.

Country Singer Mickey Guyton Breaks Out With 'Black Like Me' Sep 15, 2020

Host Beth Behrs talks with Mickey Guyton about Country Artists speaking out against racism and injustice, the power and importance of three chords and the truth in the midst of Music Row fluff, lifting other women up as a form of therapy, and, of course, Dolly Parton.
