This week’s episode is all about showing up with intention — whether it’s on stage, in life, or creatively.

I’m talking about:

* 🎤 The Maren Morris free concert that missed the mark — and why effort and presence matter, even when it’s a free show.

* 💿 Mariah Carey’s new album and how it feels like the return of grown, glittered, grounded Mariah.

* 🎶 Seeing Jon Batiste live and how his performance reminded me what it means to lead with soul and purpose.

* 💙 My mood board this week — blue hues, Bowie energy, and a real sense of gratitude for still being here.

* 🌟 The artists inspiring me right now: **JEMS**, Amber Mark, and Olivia Dean.

This one’s honest, reflective, and full of love for the kind of music that moves you.
