The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Mary reluctantly met with Carly, a psychic healer, and wondered if there would be any benefit from the session if she didn’t believe in her abilities. But she would do anything to make her fibromyalgia pain go away. Carly found Mary in a past lifetime in the early 1800s. She was a thirty-three-year-old Chinese man wandering a war-torn countryside on horseback—wounded and starving. As Carly talked Mary through a suspenseful process, while feeling both fear and exhilaration every step of the way, she successfully delivered an important message to her former self. Mary emerged from this experience newly pain free, a feeling she hadn’t known in years.

Fibromyalgia, anxiety, and a panic disorder tried to stop Mary in her thrity-two-year-old tracks, but they didn't, her suffering only fueled her desire to find a cure. In this episode, Mary will read the last story of part one of the book, titled “The Myth of Me," which is about when it came time to pick a thesis topic in graduate school, she decided to do research on herself to find a path, any path, to healing. She desperately wanted to understand the origins of her physical and emotional pain by seeking the counsel of a wide variety of practitioners—from western to eastern medicine, shamanic to celestial, and a few otherworldly interventionalists—over thirty in all. Her goal was to see how her presentation of symptoms would be perceived, diagnosed, and treated across a spectrum of multi-cultural, physical, social, psychological, holistic, and spiritual healing traditions. She asked each one of them the same question, "What is wrong with me?" You’ll learn about the treatments she endured, new perspectives gleaned, and how her life was changed forever.

It was no mistake that Mary ventured into a hospital as part of her undergraduate premed training. All it took was one unprecedented morning in the emergency room that put her on a livesaving path to personal inquiry, unlearning, and healing of her childhood wounding. She never allowed herself to process her own trauma and was deeply triggered in the presence of great pain and suffering. Because she hadn’t recognized, or embraced, her own suffering, how could she compassionately embrace anyone else’s?

It's understandable why women don’t want to speak out about sexual harassment or assaults, it’s humiliating and can be quite risky. Victims don’t want to be perceived as victims, there is fear of not being believed, a risk of retaliation from their perpetrator, fear of being perceived as an attention seeker, and there is a significant risk of victim-blaming. This story addresses the all too familiar topic of sexual harassment, but in Mary's case, while riding a bike down a busy stretch of highway in Honolulu while training for her first triathlon. She didn't handle it gracefully then, but has some wisdom to share about what she learned and unlearned about coping and moving through the trauma of sexual harassment and assault.

Searching for independence, Mary ran away from California to Hawaii at nineteen to escape her chaotic teenage life and leave her reputation behind, but was living proof that wherever you go, there you are. Discos and the beach were her new playgrounds but proved to be a bad influence on her. She found a great job but quit it to move in with a cocaine dealer, strapped a gun to her ankle that she didn’t know how to use, got arrested, and impulsively married a man that wasn’t suited for her. Was she a confident risk taker or just ignorant of what could go wrong? You can decide.

Mary made a devastating decision at seventeen to keep the peace with her mother, but at an extreme emotional and physical expense that haunted her for decades. After reading the story, Mary provides a candid discussion of her evolution through this traumatic story and explores why her parent’s avoided the discomfort of talking about this painful disaster of her young life because they didn’t have the emotional intelligence to handle it, and consequently, Mary was taught that stuffing pain was the right thing to do. Listener discretion is strongly advised as this story contains a very controversial event that will most likely upset some people.

The need to feel loved and accepted can be so strong that some people go to great lengths to feel a part of a group.
