Soft Opening
Heart to Heart with C.D. Onofrio
Carl David Onofrio, or C.D. as he is more commonly known, is a prolific Niagara Falls, Canada based poet, performer, and songwriter in his creative life and a spiritual care provider in his professional life. I’m a long-time admirer of both his written and musical work and was so excited to sit down with him. I’m equally excited to share the result with you. In this episode we talk about attention and intention, consumption and creation, flow experience as a tool for happiness, and C.D.’s tools for processing painful and difficult emotion.
