What does it mean to stay true to your voice in a world that’s always asking you to soften the edges, to dim the light, to make yourself smaller?

Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad on VOICE RISING for an intimate and powerful conversation with Anna Lena Bruhland, the artist behind EERA, as she celebrates the release of her much-anticipated third album, I’ll Stop When I’m Done.

Drawing from her work as both a celebrated songwriter and performing artist, as well as her role as a vocal coach at the School of Voice, EERA invites us into the inner landscapes behind her music—where sound becomes both a mirror and a movement. Inspired by female icons like Marilyn Monroe, her latest album explores identity, artistic persistence, and the tension between public perception and private truth.

Together, Kara and EERA dive into:
– The evolution of a voice across three albums
– Songwriting as a tool for self-inquiry and survival
– Teaching voice while navigating one’s own creative edge
– Emotional layering in production and performance
– What it means to keep going—on your own terms

Whether you’re a musician, a listener, or a soul in search of your own voice, this episode is a reminder that we don’t have to ask permission to be whole.

What if poetry could seduce us back into tenderness?

What if sound, silence, and language became the bridge between heartbreak and hope?

Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad on VOICE RISING for a luminous, no-holds-barred conversation with poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, celebrating the release of her brand-new spoken word album, RISKING LOVE.

Flirty. Smart. Wholehearted. Raw. In this collaborative album with acoustic guitarist Steve Law, Rosemerry brings her acclaimed poetry to life through spoken word and live instrumentation—inviting us to fall more deeply in love with the world, even (and especially) when it feels impossible.

Together, they dive into:

• The courage it takes to risk love in uncertain times
• The healing power of voice and the spoken word
• Poetry as a sensual, spiritual, and subversive act
