Welcome to How to Be Alive!

Welcome to How to Be Alive, a podcast that looks to the creative process as a map through figuring out how the hell to be human.Expect deep and playful conversation with folks that are about to be your new favorite artists, thinkers, and people.This podcast is for anyone that desires to be closer to themselves, anyone that has ever wondered why it’s important to listen to the creative inkling inside of you telling you there’s more to life. It’s for anyone wondering how to get through the horrors of the current news cycle with a more regulated nervous system and clarity around what they have to offer.How to Be Alive is hosted by me, Carter Umhau--an artist, writer, and licensed therapist--and I'm excited to bring you my therapeutic perspective on how creativity heals us and how it helps us become ourselves.Subscribe to my newsletter and you'll automatically be sent a playlist full of songs that make me feel more alive and more connected to myself. Hopefully you'll find at least one song on there that makes you feel the same.Join me for my signature Artist's Way workshop--a 13-week online workshop beginning later this winter.Custom podcast music is by Aaron Davidson.Today's edit is by Hans Anderson.
