Hey y'all!

Can music really change a heart? Can it impact your art? Is music really all that powerful? Today's episode is all about the power of music in meaning making, in both individual and collective identity development, and what that means for you on your journey to meaningful work and a life you love!

My country music scholar comes out in this one y'all! The first 15 minutes (or so) outlines the role (country) music plays in our lives and society. The second half of the podcast is dedicated to a specific country song as an artifact for dissection and understanding.

Ultimately, we explore the following paradox: influences that push us forward can also hold us back (and the ways in which we can be more mindful of the limitations and blocks that keep us from our highest and best).

This one is a bit deep, a bit fun, and a lot thought-provoking!

I would love to hear all of your thoughts! DM me on IG (@hannahbphd) to share yours!

Opportunities to connect, build community, and work together will be available shortly! Stay tuned!

Email address and website also coming soon!

Until then, feed the good in yourself and others by guarding your heart and sharing your art.

Happy Trails. The kind with music.

Yakoke (Thanks)!
