CREATIVE WORK: THE SYNCREATE PODCAST, MUSIC & PHOTOGRAPHY
INTRODUCING THE SYNCREATE PODCAST
EXPLORING THE INTERSECTIONS OF CREATIVITY, PSYCHOLOGY & SPIRITUALITY
Creativity. It’s a word we throw around all the time, but what does it really mean?
I’m Melinda Rothouse, PhD, and I help individuals and organizations bring their creative dreams and visions to life. On the Syncreate podcast, I share stories of the creative journey with you. We talk to changemakers and visionaries and everyday creatives working in a wide array of fields and disciplines. Our goal is to explore creativity in all its facets, and to gain a better understanding of the creative process – from imagination to innovation and everything in between.

Music - Melinda Joy
Sensual. Intuitive. Intellectual. Spiritual. Melinda Joy is a singer-songwriter/bass player whose songs interweave poetic lyrics (many originally written as stand-alone poems) with bass and melody lines that draw from a variety of genres. Born in D.C., she grew up in the Midwest and has lived in New York City, San Francisco, North Carolina, Philadelphia, and New Orleans before migrating to Austin, Texas, after Hurricane Katrina.
Her new album, Beautiful Illusions (her first in 15 years), was officially released on June 26, 2020. The songs on the new record reflect upon both the joys and the depths she's navigated over the past decade and a half. Some of them have been percolating since her time in New Orleans and the aftermath of Katrina, while others are very fresh, with themes touching touch on love and loss, spirituality, pilgrimage, and the often-painful path to awakening. Soulful, jazzy, and lush, her sound has been described as "southern gothic."
