What happens when your identity is built on your voice—and then you lose it? In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Greta Morgan, a celebrated songwriter, storyteller, and multi-instrumentalist known for performing with Springtime Carnivore, Gold Motel, and The Hush Sound, and performing with artists like Vampire Weekend and Jenny Lewis.
She is the author of the new book, The Lost Voice.
Greta opens up about the disorienting experience of losing her identity as a singer due to long Covid, and how that loss became an unexpected invitation to redefine who she is.
We talk about:
- What it felt like to lose her voice.
- How she navigated suicidal thoughts.
- How she was able to move forward after the devastating diagnosis.
- The healing work that helped her become whole again and redefine her identity.
This conversation is a moving exploration of redefining identity, creativity as a path to healing, and finding meaning in life after everything changes.
Greta shares what she’s gained—spiritually, emotionally, and creatively—through surrendering the career that once defined her.
