For songwriters, our craft is a way for us to find beauty in the darkness. Writing songs allows us to process our emotions and what’s going on in our lives. Being able to turn our experiences into songs to share with the world is such a gift. I’m beyond excited to welcome Teri Bracken from Bronté Fall onto the show for such an honest conversation.

The quote for this episode is by Maya Angelou: “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Teri and I had so much fun chatting, and I’m so glad you get to hear our amazing conversation. We talk about how special songwriting is to us, especially when it comes to processing things we’re going through. The butterfly metaphor is so fitting because it represents who we are as songwriters and the changes we go through when we turn a dark and painful experience into a beautiful song. Teri takes me through her new EP, Winter, and her honesty is so inspiring. Hearing the stories behind the songs and the overall message of the project really opened my heart and mind, and I hope it does the same for you. This conversation is exactly what Write on Track is meant to be. It’s both fun and genuine, and I’m so honored I got to chat with Teri on the show.
