Episode 3: Discovering, Not Deciding: Becki Grace on Community, Grief, and Local Honey

In Episode 3 of Creative Evolution, I sit down right in the living room sanctuary of the incredible Becki Grace: a phenomenal local musician, certified therapist, and the host of Local Honey on Radio KCM.We dive deep into the beautiful, messy, and sometimes heartbreaking reality of being a creative. Becki opens her heart and gets incredibly vulnerable about navigating the profound grief of losing her husband and bandmate, Jeff, and how she learned to transmute that pain into beautiful art. She shares her current journey of "discovering and not deciding" her identity, and how she channels her life experiences into her upcoming music.We also discuss her resilience in keeping her radio show alive across three different stations over three years, and the powerful metaphor behind Local Honey: that women are queens creating sweet, savor-worthy music for the world. Becki explains why she intentionally uses her platform to champion and elevate other women in the local music scene by offering an informative, supportive space.If you've ever felt stuck or scared to take the next step in your career, this episode is your sign to push forward. As Becki reminds us, perfection is a myth, so whatever challenges you face, you just have to "do it afraid".Show Notes & Links:Connect with Becki Grace: Check out her radio show, Local Honey, and find her original music (including her single "Cruel Heart") on all streaming platforms or by visiting BeckiGrace.com.Featured Local Music: A huge thank you to the independent artists featured during today's music breaks!Monet Maddux - https://www.monetmaddux.comThe Montvales - https://www.themontvales.comEmiSunshine - https://www.theemisunshine.comHiDaze - https://hidazeband.com/homeSupport the Community: A special thank you to Radio KCM for broadcasting the show and providing a platform that supports independent artists in the Knoxville community.Learn more at:https://josijanddessert.com/creative-evolution https://linktr.ee/creativeevolutionpodcastCreditsCopywriter: Josie “Josi J” JonesHost: Josie “Josi J” JonesGuest: Becki GraceEditor: Josie “Josi J” JonesResearch: Josie “Josi J” JonesProducer: Josie “Josi J” JonesArt Director and Designer: Josie “Josi J” JonesRemember... your time to evolve starts right now!Hosted on Ausha.
