On Repeat for a Reason: The Neuroscience of Why Music Heals, Builds, and Brings Us Home

🎧 Why do certain songs live on repeat during heartbreak, healing, workouts, or quiet nights alone? It’s not obsession. It’s neuroscience. 

In this episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, we explore the science behind why the brain craves music, how repetition builds new neural pathways, and why different frequencies and rhythms give your nervous system exactly what it’s missing. From dopamine and memory to emotional regulation and motivation, music isn’t background noise, it’s medicine.

As we ring in 2026, this episode invites you to listen more intentionally, trust what your playlists are telling you, and use music as a powerful tool for healing, focus, and forward movement.

Pour the tea, press play, and let your brain build something beautiful.

📣 If a song is on repeat, your brain is building something. 🎶🧠 Music isn’t just comfort, it’s chemistry, memory, and medicine. 

This episode explains why your nervous system craves certain sounds, rhythms, and frequencies and how listening intentionally can help you heal, focus, and step into 2026 with clarity and momentum.

Press play. Your brain knows why. ☕✨
