What does it look like to change your own life? Join the WUNC Embodied team on Friday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. at Motorco Music Hall to explore personal stories of reinvention, renewal and starting over. Through music, storytelling and conversation, audiences will experience a variety show that’s equal parts humorous and introspective. “Transformed” highlights various perspectives on reimagining our relationships — both with each other and with ourselves.

Hosted by WUNC’s Anita Rao, the event will feature performances by Ashley Lumpkin and Flower in Bloom, as well as a live Q&A with Dr. Krista Nabar.
