Episode 4 of Live Like It Matters features host Elissa Kalver in conversation with Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe of Lucius. Known for their bold harmonies, evocative lyrics, and fearless artistic vision, Holly and Jess bring their music—and their hearts—to this deeply personal conversation about creativity, purpose, and connection.
Together, they explore how music can be a source of healing, empowerment, and community, especially during life’s storms. Holly and Jess share stories from their journey in the music world, how they sustain each other as collaborators and friends, and how they channel their art toward something bigger than themselves.
In this episode, they also introduce their meaningful collaboration: a limited-edition enamel pin set created in partnership with WeGotThis.org and Oxford Pennant. The pin set features lyrics from Lucius’s song “Tempest”—“You Aren’t Riding On This Wave Alone”—and is sold with the intention that one pin is for you and one is for someone you care about. 100% of profits support breast cancer initiatives through WeGotThis.org.
This episode is a testament to the power of art to unite, to the courage it takes to keep creating, and to the beautiful intention behind turning a simple pin into a chain of hope and solidarity.
