Welcome to Love, Loss and Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker — a podcast where we start with those three themes and see where the conversation takes us. This podcast is about the beauty and pain of being human, a podcast about finding strength and connection in vulnerability, a podcast to amplify the voices of those who have been through the ringer of life and have wisdom to share, and a podcast about the healing, evolution, and transformation that can happen when you’re willing to lean into the uncomfortable and the unknown.
I’ll be talking with therapists, coaches, world-class athletes, writers, musicians, artists, shamans, plant medicine guides, and everyday who’ve been touched by incredible moments of love, shattered by loss, or altered by the extraordinary.
If you’ve ever felt like your heart was going to explode from either love or loss; if you’re wanting deeper connection in this increasingly lonely world; if you’re curious about plant medicine, or you’ve experienced an out-of-the-ordinary vision...then you’ll feel at home here.

Ep7 - Andrew Munz: The Healing Power of Art from Navigating Identity to Family Tragedy
In this engaging conversation, Andrew Munz, founder and director of Tumbleweed Creative Arts in Jackson, WY, shares how art has helped him heal from an intense family tragedy. The discussion digs into the impacts of personal tragedy and the complexities of navigating relationships afterwards with honesty and vulnerability. We also talk about if beauty can be found in death and tragedy, the double-edged sword of the American dream, and the legacy of love that can persist after loss.
In addition, by sharing his journey as a writer, comedian, and actor, Andrew and I explore the intersections of art, identity, and community via his experiences in Wyoming and Iceland. We look at how art serves as a powerful tool for education and personal growth and talk about the symbolism of tumbleweeds, where there is more than meets the eye. Andrew emphasizes the importance of authenticity in art and the role artists have in advocating for their communities. Finally, we discuss the future of Tumbleweed Creative Arts, emphasizing the importance of community, collaboration, and expanding voices within the arts for the state of Wyoming.
