This is For Crying

About this episode

This week, Kat talks about the power of our most painful moments. Inspired by her Spotify playlist: This is For Crying, Kat breaks down why and how sad songs (written by others) have been healing agents in her own life. When we feel connected versus isolated on our darkest days- we gain the opportunity to find hope. And when we heal from from our wounds we enter a cycle to be able to help others through similar moments in their lives. If you're in a storm right now. we hope this episode allows you to be present while knowing you don’t have to be there alone. And always remember: Our experiences are unique to us and also connected to others.
