How do they do what they do? So I asked my friend Nick to come onto the show. He's an actor and therapist who talks about the ancient art of theater and how it connects us — how our longing for stories is something deeply ancient. From watching his brother transform on stage at eight years old to navigating a world of screens and AI, Nick explores what happens when strangers sit together in the dark and feel something real together. Something that is being lost more and more in modern life. What is it? A conversation about acting, intuition, community, vulnerability, and why we can't make meaning alone. </p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p>Nick Sholley is an actor and licensed therapist.</p><p>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/peter-n-sholley-mft-great-barrington-ma/84815</p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p>LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST</p><p>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/innercalling/id1809177408</p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4K2khwqNKgs90Hs8vrQenZ?si=ad3d2dbeceab49c4</p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p>CONNECT WITH DR.
