“I think music is an instrument. It can create the initial thought patterns that can change the thinking of the people.”
– John Coltrane

Origin Story
A culmination of the music I was listening to (still listen to) the last months of 2019 and the few months of 2020 designing the podcast. From ballads of heartbreak to jazz solos, all inspiring me to question what exactly liberation meant to me.

The Letting Go
A playlist dedicated to winter. A season that is seemingly frigid and distancing to the self, but in actually provides an opportunity to reorient to the body and asses your needs. Give yourself time to seek those needs and if they aren’t being met, let go of what is preventing you from experiencing meaningful connection to yourself and others.
