Ep 29 - VESA on Fatherhood, Faith, and Breaking the Cycle

Jim Pehkonen, artist VESA
Out On the Skinny Branches
What does it take to move from profound disconnection into a life filled with love, creativity, and purpose? In part two of Out on the Skinny Branches, Jim Pehkonen welcomes artist VESA back for a deeply personal conversation about childhood trauma, spiritual exploration, and finding belonging. VESA reflects on the experiences that shaped his search for connection and how his creative work became a way to help others explore their own stories. With compassion and honesty, Jim and VESA discuss the possibility of transforming painful beginnings into meaningful contributions.

The conversation becomes especially moving as VESA shares how fatherhood is opening new layers of healing—giving his young son the safety and tenderness he needed as a child. Together, they explore his personal relationship with God, the balance of masculine and feminine qualities, and the importance of authentic brotherhood through METAL.MEN. This heartfelt episode invites listeners to consider how healing can shape the love we give, the communities we build, and the legacy we create through our everyday choices.
