You know that moment when a song hits so close to home it feels like it’s reading your journal?

This episode is about that moment. The one where music doesn’t just entertain you, it names you.

In this deeply honest conversation, I’m joined by Cherish Danae, whose work has helped so many of us feel less alone in our anxiety, grief, healing, and self-discovery. We talk about:

* The first song that made us feel seen—and why it cracked something open

* The emotional cost (and payoff) of making music that tells the truth

* How certain sounds, lyrics, or moments can hold what therapy sometimes can’t

* Why music isn’t always about fixing anything—it’s about witnessing

 Nick Potvin has spent years exploring the intersection of sound and the nervous system. His work taps into how music can regulate, express, and even co-regulate when our minds are spiraling.

In this conversation, we dive into the science, the soul, and the stories behind music and mental health, what it means to create through dysregulation, how memory lives in melody, and why some songs just hit when nothing else does.

We also make Dads Cry Too and What's Your Story?

You’ve stumbled upon one of our deep dive episodes where each month we take a closer look at a song that has had an impact on mental health either for the artist themselves, or as a listener.

This month we’re sitting with Curtains—a track off Ed Sheeran’s Subtract album that doesn’t just speak to sadness, but to something even more honest: the slow, confusing, uneven process of healing.
