Healing, Joy & the Power of Music with Brandee Younger

Grammy-nominated harpist Brandee Younger reminds us that joy isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. In this episode, we dive into her latest project Gadabout Season, the realities of life on tour, and the intentional ways she’s learned to rest and replenish.

We also get real about navigating fibroids, the body’s quiet signals of exhaustion, and how art can be both medicine and resistance. From savoring good food to embracing naps and stillness, Brandee shares the everyday practices that keep her grounded—and how joy itself can be a radical act of healing.

Whether you’re an artist, wellness seeker, or just trying to find peace in the middle of chaos, this conversation will remind you to slow down, listen to your body, and claim joy in the small moments.

 In this episode, we talk about:

• The inspiration behind Gadabout Season and what it taught her about slowing down
• How touring impacts the body, mind, and spirit
• Living with and talking about fibroids 
• The small but powerful rituals that restore joy
