A Chat with Heart - with Christina Martin

Christina chats with GRAVEN (Matty McKechnie), an independent folk-rock singer- songwriter from Ottawa, Canada about his latest album Simple Complex, killing people with kindness, and singing and songwriting. As it turns out, Christina and Matty discover they might be the same person.

Graven is a passionate wordsmith of song who wears his heart on the sleeve of his melodies. He always has uplifting words and self-love promoting songs of support for anyone at his shows and his dedicated fan-base (who have dubbed themselves as “Graventown”). Graven always tries to create a highly accepting and inclusive community and his music has become a safe-haven for anyone and everyone who wants to be their real-self without judgement.

Carlyn Oswald - Online Dating, Food Science and Austin, Texas!

In this episode I chat with my friend Carlyn Oswald as we try to lend some online dating tips to my listeners about setting up your profile, first impressions, red flags and background checks. I even share my limited experience using Tinder.
My first Aupair gig landed me in Austin, Texas when I was twenty years old. I had never written a song, and I have very few memories of what it was like being single and dating. Now I'm 43 years young, and chatting on my podcast with my guest Carlyn, who was only six years old when I lived with her family as their summer Aupair. Now she's all grown up, and has a plethora of experience to bring me up to speed on what it's like living single in Northwest Arkansas. It was so fun to re-connect with Carlyn after all these years.

Transcript

Christina: [00:00:02] (Instrumental music in background) Welcome to a chat with Hart podcast. I'm your host, Christina Martin.
