073 - When The Song Sees You Before You See Yourself
Manage episode 486887072 series 2176774
In this very personal episode of Thriving Mosaic, I’m doing something a little different. What started as a simple car ride with my dog and a random shuffle on my Taylor Swift playlist turned into a profound moment of reflection.
As many of you know, I’ve been a lifelong Taylor Swift fan. Recently, with Taylor now owning her full masters, I’ve been revisiting some of her earlier albums that I had paused listening to out of honor and respect for her ownership journey. That’s when Tied Together With A Smile came on, and it stopped me in my tracks.
Even though Taylor wrote this song as a teenager, I first heard it at 28. The lyrics reflected a kind of unpretty that wasn’t about my appearance, but about my struggle to feel enough, to set boundaries, to use my own voice, and to stop performing for acceptance.
In this episode, I share a written reflection that I created with the help of my trusted GPT companion, Betty. It’s my story of how this song met me where I was, how it revealed truths I hadn’t yet spoken aloud, and how choosing to love myself has been the sacred work of coming home.
If any part of this speaks to you, please know I would be honored to hold space for your own unfolding. You can always reach out to me at [email protected].
Thank you for walking this journey with me.
Until next time, live your life on purpose.
