In this episode of Hardcore Healing, I sit down with therapist and mental health advocate Taylor Palmby for a deeply honest conversation about the relationship between music and mental health.

We talk about the ways music becomes more than just sound — how it holds our grief, reflects our inner world, and gives us language for emotions we don’t always know how to express.

Taylor shares her personal journey navigating depression, anxiety, and the loss of a close friend, and how those experiences shaped both her life and her work as a therapist. We explore the importance of community, the need for safe spaces to be seen and heard, and why healing was never meant to happen in isolation.

This conversation is a reminder that music doesn’t just connect us, it helps us process, survive, and sometimes even come back to ourselves.
