Hi there, it's Rohan. For Mental Health Awareness Month, we're partnering with a few other

shows to bring you some resources that might support your own mental health journey.

This week, I want to share a little bit about a slight change of plans. It's a wonderful

podcast hosted by one of our previous meditative story guests, Dr. Maya Shankar. On a slight change

of plans, Maya blends compassionate storytelling with the science of human behaviour to explore

who we are and who we become in the face of big changes. Much like on meditative story,

you're here incredible life changing stories and timeless wisdom that can help you live a better

life. A slight change of plans is one of my favourite podcasts and I really think you'll love

it as well. So give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We're in a tiny downtown Manhattan, rehearsal space. There's a piano, bass amp, drum kit, and no AC.

It's so hot today that art takes its shirt off to play. To anyone else, this would look ridiculous.

A distinguished jazz legend rehearsing with no shirt. But to me, at 20 years old, art looks like a keen.

Over the course of his career, legendary jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard has won five Grammy awards,

scored over 60 films including the works of director Spike Lee and has composed two operas staged

by the New York Metropolitan Opera. By growing up in New Orleans, Terence is just a shy kid with a lot

of uncertainty about his future. It's only with the guidance of his teachers, band leaders,

and confidence that he starts to see that the future he wants is actually possible.

This week, Terence tells the story of how the many mentors he encountered in life gave him the

confidence to experience his true potential. In this series, we combine immersive first-person

stories, breathtaking music, and mindfulness pumps so that we may see our lives reflected

back to us in other people's stories. And that can lead to improvements in our own in our lives.

From weight to what, this is a meditative story.
