102 - Finding Harmony in Silence: Dan Mullins' Journey Through Vocal Loss and Creative Triumph
When life handed Dan Mullins a silence he'd never asked for, it wasn't the silence of peace but of challenge—a virus had stolen his singing voice, casting a shadow over his musical career. But from the depths of that quiet time, a story of resilience and reinvention emerged, which Dan shares openly in our latest episode. It's a testament to the power of the human spirit, chronicling his journey from the devastating diagnosis following the aftermath of a virus to the discovery of a richer, more captivating sound that's now the hallmark of his music.Struck by the profundity of silent moments, Dan speaks candidly about the unexpected gifts that came with his vocal rest. Imagine this: a wellspring of creativity bursting forth as he unearths a treasure trove of old melodies and crafts new songs, each a testament to his undying passion for music. Listeners will travel with Dan on his path of recovery, learning how meticulous vocal exercises and a supportive family and medical network paved the way for a new album inspired by life's intricate tapestry. His narrative is not just for musicians but for anyone who finds themselves at the crossroads between loss and the sheer determination to create something beautiful from it.Finally, we meander through Dan's creative plans, and next Camino walk, to the intimate stories behind his podcast and record ventures. His innovative approach to crowdfunding a new album intertwines the artist-fan relationship in a shared pilgrimage, redefining the journey of music production. To cap it off, we're treated to the world premiere of a touching composition born from a tale of enduring love and sudden loss—a couple's lifetime together ending in a poignant harmony that echoes through Dan's music. Join us for an episode that celebrates the human capacity to find hope, creativity, and connection in the wake of life's unexpected silences.Dan’s website:https://www.danmullinsmusic.com/CAMINO DOCUMENTARY: Somewhere Along The Way - Help Fund:https://www.gofundme.com/f/camino-documentary-film1st Interview with Dan at The Camino Cafe in 2021YouTube version: https://youtu.be/OGxwmtWq5oE?si=ltT0u-DkZzi6eORcPodcast version:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9-dan-mullins-we-switch-seats-leigh-interviews-the/id1562037974?i=1000522788168Connect with Leigh:Camino News Update - Every Wednesday! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9jRyUVnjI4WJMbM7rEbXW9ycGuQwm8Ae&si=vKPxgrYLQfyC_m4HSubscribe to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VN9ze3z61n6tRLtDXWuQwFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecaminocafepodcast/The Camino Cafe's intro and outro song with thanks to fellow Pilgrim, Jackson Maloney.

We'll chat about the transformative power of the Camino, as told through the eyes of Kelli's protagonist Tess, a cancer patient who puts her treatment on hold to walk the revered path with her daughter. Kelli’s storytelling seamlessly weaves universal themes,  the rich tapestry of Spain, and stories that may resonate from our own life or from pilgrims we met along the Camino.Kelli and Jeff’s life on the Camino de Santiago provides an extraordinary perspective, living at marker 59, they witness a procession of pilgrims on their transformative journey. Each day, up to 3000 pilgrims pass by their home, each carrying their own stories of resilience and transformation. Kelli and Jeff are channeling the Camino's positivity into their plans for the 2024 season, creating a haven for pilgrims, complete with a stationary food truck and cabins.Here’s the link to the first interview we did with Kelli and Jeff a few years ago:Season 1 Ep 33  Septemeber 20, 2021Kelli and Jeff Dream come truehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aQeHSn9VtQ&t=9s Finally, Kelli shares her personal experience with the Camino's challenges and how it taught her the beauty of surrender and the power of patience.  The fear of the unknown is a common sentiment among pilgrims preparing for the Camino, but as Kelly reveals, the real lessons and feedback often come after the journey. We round off the episode in the square in front of the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, swapping stories and reflecting on the profound impact of Kelly's book and the Camino itself. So, join us in this soulful exchange about life, love, and lessons from the Camino de Santiago.To connect with Kelli:https://linktr.ee/authorkellifieldWatch this interview and more at The Camino Cafe Podcast on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VN9ze3z61n6tRLtDXWuQwConnect with Leigh:Camino News Update - Every Wednesday! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9jRyUVnjI4WJMbM7rEbXW9ycGuQwm8Ae&si=vKPxgrYLQfyC_m4HSubscribe to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VN9ze3z61n6tRLtDXWuQwFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecaminocafepodcast/The Camino Cafe's intro and outro song with thanks to fellow Pilgrim, Jackson Maloney.
