The Determined Society with Shawn French · Singing as Medicine: How Liz Caplan Healed Through Music · 15 Dec 2025 podcast

It was completely a dysfunctional situation.

And I kept saying to myself, I asked myself these questions as a young person, why is singing, which is supposed to bring joy to myself and to others, feeling so tense and tight and restrictive?

And why?

I knew early on that whatever I was going to end up doing in my life, and I didn't know at that time, I always wanted to make sure people felt comfortable in whatever room I was in with them and certainly comfortable within their bodies and themselves when they were listening to me

help them.

So, and the word threatening should never come into play when you're learning anything, I think.

That kind of like got the, the momentum beginning in terms of how I knew what I wasn't going to do and how I knew that what I did want to do.

And I just had to obviously figure out where that was going to take place.

I'm in completely teared up mode.

Absolutely.

Well, interestingly, and I'm going to share major, you know, personal truths in that I grew up

And it was discovered when I was, I think, three or three and a half that I had asthma.

And how it was discovered was that I was riding my tricycle and it was squeaking.

And my father kept oiling it, oiling it.

And my mother was like, why is it still squeaking?

And it turned out I was squeaking.

So that began sort of like, oh, I'm going to be having a challenging respiratory system.

And at a young age, that's very, very difficult.

And the medications that they gave even little tiny children were very harsh and very...

I want to say, if you imagine taking a steroid as an adult, because you can't speak and you have to speak, so you need to get yourself inflammation down.
