I had to learn a lot about forgiveness, because I spent a couple of years really angry, and I had to learn that really hatred only hurts you- pardon my language- but because the person you hate could give a shit.
Imagine having your heartstrings pulled by a song that feels like it was written just for you. That's the magic Radney Foster brings to his music. In this episode of 'Real Life Resilience', host Stacy Brookman chats with the iconic country music singer-songwriter about his journey through life's ups and downs. Radney's songs aren't just melodies; they're lifelines born from his own experiences, including heartbreak and deep soul-searching.
He opens up about how writing a book of short stories, paired with his latest album 'For You to See the Stars', became a healing process for him. Radney’s journey took a poignant turn when he lost his voice for six weeks due to laryngitis. This forced silence gave him the push he needed to dive into writing.
He believes that truly impactful writing comes from digging deep into your soul, echoing Robert Frost's sentiment: 'No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader'. Radney also touches on the emotional toll of personal events, like his ex-wife moving to France with their 5-year-old son, which inspired his heartfelt song 'Godspeed'. Throughout the episode, Radney shares how forgiveness and meditation have been crucial in his path to resilience.
If you're looking for a blend of music, storytelling, and genuine life lessons, this episode offers a heartfelt narrative that might just inspire you to find your own resilience.
