Episode 4: Love, Lessons & Owning Your Voice with Madison McFerrin

Singer and songwriter Madison McFerrin joins us for a conversation that feels like your favorite kind of catch up, warm, honest, and just a little unexpected. We get into how she met the love of her life, what it took to walk away from a toxic relationship, and what it looks like to choose yourself and love better on the other side. We also talk about her journey as an artist, how she knew early on that music was her path, and what her songwriting process looks like. It’s an open, grounded conversation about creativity, timing, and trusting your voice. Then we do what we do best. We laugh, talk about struggle meals, and get into her love of cooking. It really feels like sitting around, sipping tea, and letting the conversation go where it wants to go. It’s thoughtful, it’s funny, and it’s the kind of conversation that reminds you we’re all figuring it out in real time.  Sit down, sip something, and get into the group chat.

Licensed therapist Melissa Plair joins the Auntie Cousin Podcast for a candid and refreshing conversation about mental wellness and emotional ownership.

With insight drawn from both her professional work and personal experiences, Melissa brings the kind of clarity and honesty that makes this episode equal parts eye-opening and validating. This one invites you to rethink how you care for your mind and how that shapes the way you show up in your life and relationships.
