Pink Floyd and Sedona

This week’s episode is a quickie—but a goodie.

In the spirit of June’s theme—play—I'm keeping it light, fast, and fun. From road trip memories with my mom to unexpected sweatshirt purchases and a spontaneous Pink Floyd deep dive, this episode is a reminder that playfulness is healing, and presence is powerful.


We’re talking classic rock, Sedona vortexes, and the freedom of not taking yourself (or your schedule) too seriously. If you’ve been glued to your screen or stuck in perfectionism, this is your cue to unplug and go do something just for the joy of it.


🎧 Whether it’s listening to a weird 20-minute track, catching up with a friend, or jamming on your guitar—this one’s your permission slip to PLAY.


✨ Episode Highlights:

  • Why I filmed this episode on a random Tuesday (and why that’s okay)
  • A spontaneous road trip to Sedona and what it taught me
  • The story behind my vintage Pink Floyd sweatshirt
  • Music as a vehicle for creativity, chaos, and fun
  • What we can learn from Sid Barrett’s journey and mental health
  • How one song made me laugh, cry, and love rock even more


💡 Takeaways:

  • 🎶 Albums are time machines—let yourself get lost in one
  • 🧠 Creativity thrives when you stop trying to control everything
  • 🎸 Play doesn't have to be “productive” to be powerful
  • 🌀 Your voice, your rhythm, your joy—it’s all medicine
  • 📍 Step away from the screen and go find a little magic out there
