The conversation naturally moves into creativity as a place of refuge, songwriting as truth-telling, and the complicated relationship between vulnerability, shame, and connection.we open up about the creative process, the emotional cost of honesty, and how writing songs has changed over time — especially in environments where collaboration, expectations, and success can blur the original reason you started.This isn’t a how-to or a highlight reel. It’s a conversation about being human, staying present with discomfort, and letting the work say what you can’t always explain.Toward the end, we ask a question we always come back to on The Write Brain: what would you say to your younger self — or to a younger creative who’s struggling in the same ways you once did?Thanks for being here.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RlT5RT5NyaNwqAYNwxGPecU4eTkPNua0P6zEO-8YRnU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YzA1/MzI3ZjZjNWViZjhl/N2Y5ZmNlMmFmMjJj/OGRmNS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
