Daniel Rinaldi & the Curiosity of Hope

A Fresh Story, season 1, episode 15

Daniel is a 15 year veteran of the music industry where he toured the country as a singer songwriter of the band Bedlight for Blue Eyes. Currently Daniel is a mental health counselor in Massachusetts working to decrease stigma surrounding mental health. We chatted with Daniel about his time on the road as a touring musician, his mental health journey after leaving the music world, how a childhood tragedy changed the course of his life, the winding journey of long-grief, and how he found himself in the mental health industry. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring episode about having hope, living with grief, and the soundtrack of our lives. 

You can learn more about Daniel on his website, Twitter, and Instagram.

The song about Daniel's brother referenced in the episode is Michael by Bedlight for Blue Eyes.
