“Welcome To Paradise”

“Django Jane”

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Two Years Ago we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we’re going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week’s FIFTY-FIFTH installment song (Year Two!) is from Artist: Janelle Monaé And is called “Django Jane.” It is from their third studio album: Dirty Computer You can listen to the album version of the song here: https://youtu.be/mhV23uUBOhA?s...

Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who’s to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I’m ELATED that you’re along for the ride, C -

You Can Recover: Eldest Daughter Syndrome

I’m so stoked that we’re doing this! We started earlier this Spring, going through challenging behavioral patterns that tend to plague some people, but that ultimately can be healed. We’re continuing today. (Do I have this one??) You might not be a sibling, or an eldest, or even someone who identifies as female, but this is something that everyone needs to understand. So glad you’re here. Take a load off for a little while, C
