About this episode

Jann Arden and guests discuss life's adventures, minimalism, and an interview with singer-songwriter Corb Lund about creativity and activism.

This week, Jann, Caitlin and Sarah kick things off with a catch-up on life's latest adventures. Caitlin shares her moving saga, the surprising joys of embracing minimalism, and the emotional roller coaster of house hunting. The conversation wanders through travel, parenting, relationships and the unexpected ways life can change in a hurry. Then, Jann welcomes passionate singer-songwriter, mountain activist and proud Albertan Corb Lund. From his unconventional path through country music to the stories behind his songwriting, Corb opens up about creativity, authenticity and why he refuses to chase trends. They discuss AI's growing role in music, the importance of protecting Alberta's land and water, and how one environmental issue unexpectedly turned him into an activist.  Find out more about Corb and his music: https://www.corblund.com/ Chapters: (00:00) Welcome & Life Update (02:18) Caitlin's Big Move and House Hunt (05:02) Minimalism and Letting Go (07:08) Being Delusionally Optimistic (10:42) Travel, Privilege and Perspective (14:05) Parenting, Relationships and Timing (18:07) Why Community Matters (22:20) Meeting Listeners in the Wild (25:45) Welcoming Corb Lund (27:20)…
