DJ Hesta Prynn's Music is Therapy

How to Shed Your Skin and Start Over (with John Oates)

John Oates of Hall & Oates — the biggest-selling rock duo in music history – walked away from all of it. He sold the planes, the cars and the apartments, and rebuilt his life from scratch with nothing but a therapist, a visualization practice, and a log cabin in his mind. This conversation is about what it actually takes to start over. The moment you decide the skin you're in isn't yours anymore, and you have to shed it to survive. **Send this to the person who knows they need to start over but doesn't know how yet.

Therapy on a Drake Song: Avoidant Attachment

In today's episode, DJ Hesta Prynn is Drake's hot therapist. We get into Drake as an emotional universe — why his music, and his latest album ICEMAN, lives in the space of wanting connection while keeping one hand on the exit door. What happens when someone with avoidant attachment gets publicly humiliated? And why can't you stop thinking about someone who was never fully available to you? That question is the whole episode.

Ketamine 101 (with Dr. Priyanka Wali)

Curious about psychedelics? Dr. Priyanka Wali is a board-certified physician who uses ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to treat depression - with music at the core of every session. Research calls music the hidden therapist, and in this episode we get into exactly how it works and why it changes everything. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This conversation is for anyone who has tried everything and still isn't feeling better, and for anyone who has heard the word ketamine and immediately thought of a college party in 1999. TRY THIS: If you or someone you love has been struggling with depression and feels like nothing is working, Google "ketamine assisted psychotherapy near me." It's legal, it's covered by some insurance, and it's closer than you think. Send this to the person in your life who is still waiting to feel better. You know who.

Creativity Is the Most Underrated Form of Therapy (with Halim Flowers)

Halim Flowers spent 22 years incarcerated - including two years in solitary confinement as a teenager - and emerged as a thriving painter, writer and creator. But this conversation isn't about prison - it’s about the emotional prisons people live in every day: shame, fear, trauma, self-hatred, heartbreak, the stories we get trapped inside and can’t seem to escape. How music, art, imagination, and self-expression can help all people process emotion, reconnect to themselves, and feel free again.  May Playlist – Songs that Hold the Feeling For You https://open.spotify.com/playlist/60acajddWy8eNcAX2GOzl6?si=f0de1b25bc2145f1 [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/60acajddWy8eNcAX2GOzl6?si=f0de1b25bc2145f1] **And if you want something more specific, email me, tell me what you’re dealing with, and I’ll send you a song Free Music Connection Therapy Workshop: https://mct.hestaprynn.com/may17 [https://mct.hestaprynn.com/may17] Zoom • Sunday May 17 • 1PM Eastern Connect with Halim Flowers: Website [https://www.halim-flowers.com/] · Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/halimflowers] · Artonomics [https://www.art-o-nomics.com/] · Tik Tok [https://www.tiktok.com/@halimflowers] email: Boodie@connectup.media Find the show: Substack [https://hestaprynn.substack.com/] · Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/hestaprynnmusic] · musicistherapypod@gmail.com [musicistherapypod@gmail.com] Send this to someone who needs permission to feel something.
