Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

Most of us have been told to trust our hearts, but nobody tells us how, especially when fear, noise, and old conditioning have made that inner voice hard to hear. This episode is for anyone who has been strong for so long that they've lost touch with what they actually want.

Kevin Roth, renowned dulcimer artist and life coach, shares the journey from a cancer diagnosis that changed everything to a way of living grounded in self-love, clarity, and spiritual trust. You'll walk away with a gentler, more practical understanding of what it really means to listen inward.

About the Guest:

Kevin Roth is an internationally known dulcimer artist, singer-songwriter, and life coach with over 65 albums across a decades-long career. He is also known for his work on the PBS television show Shining Time Station. Following a stage 3 melanoma diagnosis, Kevin rebuilt his life around health, clarity, and self-trust, and now guides others through the same process as a spiritual life coach.

Key Takeaways:

• There are two kinds of heart: the emotional heart that reacts, and the Wisdom Heart that stays in balance. Learning to tell them apart is the foundation of real self-trust.
• Self-love is the starting point for every other kind of love. If you can love yourself, even imperfectly, you will never be completely without love.
• Three things are needed to stay in balance: your health (emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual), clarity about what you actually want, and some form of spiritual grounding or quiet practice.
• Fear often stands in the way not as truth, but as false evidence appearing real. Dropping fear and allowing yourself to have fun in life are the first steps toward reconnecting with yourself.
• When facing a crossroads, the simplest question is: which option gives me more peace? Not more money, not more approval. More peace.
• Getting quiet and asking "what do I need to know?" is a daily practice, not a one-time breakthrough. The heart always answers when the noise is low enough to hear it.
