In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Dallas-based singer-songwriter Jeffrey Michael Widman (again!) to get honest and vulnerable about mental health, simplicity in songwriting, and the value of honesty in meaningful art. They also geek out about their mutual love for Matt Nathanson as a songwriter, and Emmeline continues her mission to make sure that everyone in the world knows about the phenomenal Ani DiFranco. Lastly, Jeffrey talks about the importance of music in tandem with therapy as a way to make one's way in the world.
