This week we're diving into Taylor Swift’s discography to unpack what her music reveals about girlhood, growing up, and stepping into womanhood. We’re joined by Emily’s friend and colleague Hannah Allen, a Licensed Professional Counselor, who brings her expertise on relationships, body image, and navigating life transitions to the conversation. Together, we explore the highs, heartbreaks, and messy beauty of girlhood while also sharing practical tools for making meaningful friendships as adults. Whether you’re a lifelong Swiftie or just Taylor-curious, this episode offers both thoughtful reflection and fun fandom energy.

This week on The Sounding Board Sessions, we sit down with one of our favorite humans—singer-songwriter, violist and baker Patrick Monnius—to dive into his track Some Days from his new album Looking Up. We talk about the heart behind the song, the importance of community, and how simple practices of gratitude can shift the way we experience everyday life.

On this episode of The Sounding Board Sessions, we explore the powerful connection between mental and physical health through Nik’s new single “Indestructible,” released July 25th under his artist name, Z’cano. Joined by featured artist and co-writer Rochelle Smith (aka Ro) and her former personal trainer Seresta Shantrell—founder of The Trap Nashville gym—Emily and Nik dive into conversations about resilience, strength, and how the mind and body can work together to help us overcome what once felt impossible.
