Heather Hutchison is a singer/songwriter and author of the new memoir, Holding On by Letting Go. She shares her story of life as a blind person both in Canada and Latin America, her struggles with anxiety and depression, the unique challenges of being hospitalized for psychiatric care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the refuge she has always found in music. It is her story of choosing life.
Heather Hutchison is the author of Holding On by Letting Go: A Memoir, and an award-winning singer/songwriter with three albums released to date. Blind since birth and having struggled with mental illness from a young age, she is passionate about educating people on disability and mental health through her music and writing. An avid traveller, Heather has spent time living and teaching English in Latin America.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Give yourself grace and compassion, change can be gradual.
2. If you feel like your current situation is unresolvable and you can’t go on, there will come a day when you feel so much joy, and you’ll stop in that moment and think ‘I would have missed this.’ Hold on for that day.
3. Lean on your support networks to help find the help and professional resources you need. Reaching out over and over to find supports on your own can be hard.

Cathy, a self-proclaimed “recovering depressive”, is working on creating a new blogging platform where she will discuss ideas, quotes and popular expressions that have resonated with her and that have helped her to keep a positive perspective on life despite depression. It’s all about her desire to keep a positive mindset to achieve her own form of happiness, which may help many depressives who struggle alone.
Cathy Jean-François is a high school and middle school English teacher in NYC, but her first love and passion is writing. From December 2014 to September 2019 she created and maintained a blog called "The True Confessions of a Reluctant Bachelorette" (www.thereluctantbachelorette.com) where she discussed the hilarity and sometimes heartbreak of being a single woman of a certain age. She then went on to launch her second blog in November 2019 after she married, calling it "Tighed the Knot: A Newlywed's Thoughts on Navigating the Married Life" (www.tighedtheknot.com). There, she shared some compelling stories of being a newlywed.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Create! When you’re feeling down, do something that you love and that can draw you completely into your happy place.
2. Laugh! Watch or listen to something that makes you laugh and laugh. Or watch an action movie that pulls you into the excitement!

40 Thieves on Saipan is the thrilling, untold WWII story of an elite platoon of Marines: the Sixth Marine Regiment’s Scout-Snipers—nicknamed the “Forty Thieves” by their peers. The platoon’s unique skills in stealth, deadly hand-to-hand combat, and reconnaissance behind enemy lines helped gain a critical victory in the Pacific theatre. Written by the son of their leader, Lieutenant “Ski”, this inspiring narrative was composed from years of research and face-to-face interviews with the surviving Thieves.
Joseph Tachovsky is the author of 40 Thieves on Saipan and the son of the platoon’s leader. Graduating with degrees in English Literature, Theater and Art History made him perfectly qualified for a life in the hospitality trade. Based in Minneapolis, his restaurant creations have earned reviews and mentions in Food and Wine, Bon Appetit, Esquire, The Rolling Stone, The New York Times and Jim Harrison’s The Raw and The Cooked.

Bobby Hedglin-Taylor “The multi Hyphenated artist”. Trapeze artist-actor-dancer-singer- acrobat - impressionist-author- officiant- aerial sequence choreographer- stand up comic - mixologist - teacher - coach.
In Bobby's words:
"It was very telling being called the “multi-hyphenated artist”. I’ve done so many different creative things with my life and I will always be an artist no matter what medium of art I use or canvas. If I am using a pen and paper, a stage, a microphone, a trapeze or a cocktail shaker I am an artist first and foremost. (See my full bio below) Not just dabbling in other art forms but successful both artistically and financially in all of those platforms. I’m comfortable wearing the title. It suits me. :)
2020 was a painful year for me.
The pandemic began with the governor shutting down visitation to nursing homes and I wasn’t able to visit my mother who had been a resident of a local nursing home here for 5 years. Two days later Broadway shut down and my boss called me and said we’re shutting down for 2 weeks. 11 days later, my mother died in the nursing home. There was no covid test to give the actual cause of death, but with her symptoms leading up to her death, I’m confident in saying that it was not a coincidence when she passed and what I believe she died from. Losing my mother was huge. She was my best friend and my hero. She died on March 21st. The morning of March 22nd I woke up with a fever of 104, body aches, headache like an anvil sitting on my temple and I couldn’t smell or taste anything. Yes, I had Covid19. Terrified and isolated, I retreated and took care of myself until I could figure out and navigate a way to get through it. Fighting for my own life now, in my waking hours that I could focus and function I began to write."
The end result: Bobby is the Author of 2 books-
#ShitMyMamaSays (available on Amazon) and
Escape to Ravioli Mountain-a memoir in food (coming this fall).
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Laugh every day no matter what
2. Save 10% or ⅓ of your income always!
3. Don’t be in show business for the money, because there isn’t any. Be in it because you LOVE IT.
