One of our favorite episodes yet! This week we chat with Mitchell Smolkin, a psychotherapist, author and speaker who promotes the idea of finding dignity in your suffering in order to become closer to others and yourself. Mitchell starts us out with some beautiful thoughts on music and theater before expanding on how he is marrying his family's story and performance in a new project. His grandfather lost his whole family to the Nazis in WWII while he was away in the war and then later suffered through the pain of immigration. Mitchell tells his grandfather's struggle through both the lens of a psychotherapist and the teenager that initially confronted the issues of their family's tragic history. This conversation gets deep as we delve into inter-generational trauma, existential crises, and dying multiple deaths. Truly a meaningful message throughout with many gems on life and failure. And Mitchell has a beautiful singing voice as a bonus!
