In this episode of the Let’s Share Podcast, host Leigh Byers, Founder and President of Have A Need A Ministry (HANA), is joined by Becky “Baby” Hudson—musician, arts and health practitioner, and Board Director of Art in Health Ocala Metro—for a powerful conversation on the healing role of art in people’s lives.

What begins as a local story in Ocala, Florida quickly expands into something much bigger.

Becky shares her journey from lifelong musician to serving in arts and health, where creative expression is used intentionally to support emotional, mental, and physical well-being. From working with healthcare environments to engaging individuals through organizations like The Arc Marion, this episode highlights how art creates connection, dignity, joy, and healing across diverse populations.

A central insight from this conversation is simple yet profound: Art is a bridge between body, mind, and spirit—and it has the power to help people feel better and heal.

While this work is happening in one community, the impact and opportunity extend far beyond. Arts in health initiatives are growing across the state, the country, and globally—creating new ways for individuals and organizations to serve others through creativity.

This episode is both an introduction and an invitation.

In this episode:

• How art supports healing across body, mind, and spirit
• The real impact of arts in health within a local community
• Why creative expression matters in challenging life situations
• A model that can be replicated in other communities
• Simple, accessible ways anyone can engage in art for well-being

Whether you are:

• A community member looking for encouragement
• An artsy person looking to share their artistic talents in their community
• Someone navigating personal challenges
• Or simply curious about the connection between art and healing

…this conversation offers insight and inspiration you can apply wherever you are.

In this episode of Let’s Share, Dr. Leigh Byers welcomes Manal Fakhoury, founder of Ollin (pronounced "All in") Women International, for a conversation centered on connection, leadership, and the power of women supporting women.

Manal shares how a simple invitation to gather women grew into a global movement rooted in collaboration, personal growth, and community impact. Together, they discuss how meaningful change begins within and expands outward—into families, organizations, and communities.

This episode highlights:

• The importance of connection and shared experiences
• How women can lead through encouragement and collaboration
• The value of focusing on what is working and worth celebrating
• How mindset shapes the way we show up for others
• Creating ripple effects through intentional relationships

At the heart of this conversation is the Let’s Share mindset: Giving + Receiving = Sharing

When we choose connection over division and encouragement over comparison, we create space for growth, impact, and lasting relationships.
