Hosted by Hanna Francis, this podcast is about reclaiming songwriting as something natural, personal, and real. Long before industries and algorithms, people made music together—at home, in the streets, around fires—not for fame, but because it’s part of being human. We all feel the power of music, and we all have the ability to create it. Through conversations with incredible songwriters and self-help experts, we explore the power of consciously engaging with music and the tools that help you do so. Join us in celebrating the songs we love and the music that lives in all of us!
