23 - We Don't Gatekeep Music Here w/ The Songwriter Diaries

Tricky Existence

Jordyn and Pearl are back this week to give their take on music as a tool of healing, growth, and coping- and they brought some friends!
They jump right into this episode with a quick introduction of our guests and their lovely podcast, The Songwriter Diaries, as they do some catching up of course. They touch on the proper age and frequency for pap smears and follow that closely with a brief color analysis for all from one of our cohosts.
After a (not-so-)quick check-in, the pals get goin. Discussing the ultimate search for validation within music and terrible moments in their journeys to find it. The four talk identity, music as a form of processing and coping, self-judgment, fear of failure, and the tricky existence of creating in a capitalistic society.
Some questions your hosts explore this week:
1. What fuels your identity?
2. How does music impact you?
3. How can you protect your joy while maintaining a life under capitalism?
