How Music, Prayer, And Journaling Can Rewire A Wounded Mind
Send us a text
When your life gets bigger, the inner critic often gets louder. We sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Fulgaro—award-winning author, songwriter, and financial coach—to explore how song-driven prayer and simple journaling can transform self-talk, rebuild resilience, and heal the hidden wounds that surface under pressure. Her journey from lifelong self-hatred to self-acceptance and then self-love is disarmingly honest, practical, and grounded in research with women veterans.
We unpack a 28-day practice that pairs curated “song prayers” with a quick daily check-in to track mood before and after listening. The results? Every participant experienced measurable improvements in resilience and well-being. Dr. Fulgaro breaks down why: music reaches the emotional brain, lyrics that speak directly to God reinforce being known, belonging, and purpose, and neuroplasticity does the rest. We go deeper than clichés, confronting the gap between performative spirituality and the hard, hopeful work of loving God, loving others, and loving yourself—without losing your voice or your boundaries.
Expect clear next steps: how to choose the right album by intuition, protect focus with ad-free listening, and use Companion Journals to guide a simple rhythm—select, reflect, listen, reflect, repeat. We also cover playlists for grief, anxiety, courage, and winding down at day’s end, plus why journaling unlocks stuck thoughts and anchors a new identity over time. If you’re ready to replace shame with dignity and move from coping to healing, this conversation gives you a map and the tools to start today.
