This week, Mikayla Menzies and I are here to talk about so many interesting things...in fact...our conversation was so amazing, that we wanted to make sure you guys heard it all! That is why this week’s episode is part 1 of a 2 part episode. 

Some of the topics Mikayla and I cover include what it means to have a home, and what even is a home anyway? We talk about the loss of the most important people in our lives, what loss entails and how to cope with it. And on the note of loss... so many of us experience losing ourselves and being stuck in this awkward stage, in-between feeling the heaviness of not wanting to live, but also the heaviness of not wanting to die. 

The universe has so much to offer us, and just like the universe, so does Mikayla. 

You can find Mikayla’s music on all streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, and Amazon by searching up her name: Mikayla Menzies

A kind personality is one of the most important things in the music industry - it can really determine your success. And speaking of success... does that mean winning a grammy? Does it mean being a huge performer?

Speaking on a variety of topics, Adam reminds us that sometimes all you need is a love of music to make it. We all start somewhere and work our way up, the process is the fun part! We all have our moments of fun, and moments of difficulty. Imposter Syndrome lurks around the corner and can sometimes get the better of us. Overall, Adam is a badass guitarist who is sure to make it far in the music industry, while also offering only kindness along his way.

Aside from touring, Dani has also been teaching for a very long time, creating music, and helping others make their music come to life.

On today's episode, we have Hayden McHugh! Hayden specializes in a genre that isn't considered popular where they're from, making it a little bit tricky to find people to work with. Despite all the adversities that are thrown their way, they continue to stride forward. Keeping their chin up and walking forward isn't always easy though. There are a lot of challenges that can come up with taking on a task that is different from the norm. Especially as a queer person, Hayden understands first hand the difficulties of pushing past these barriers, but that is exactly what makes them limitless. You can find Hayden's music by searching up their name on all streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify: Hayden McHugh. •••
