A group of strangers belting out “so good” in Sweet Caroline. Friends reminiscing about a song from their high school years. That special look a couple shares when their wedding song plays unexpectedly. The amazing feeling when a song perfectly encapsulates the complexities and nuances of everything you’re feeling. Music has the ability to transform, transport, and transfix us… but what inspires someone to write a song?
In our latest episode, Cristina sits down with Ryan Breen to talk about his experience as a musician – everything from composing the instrumentals to finding the right lyric. Tune in to hear Ryan discuss music’s powerful ability to heal and the cathartic process of writing.

POP In and Discuss Writer's Block
We’ve probably all heard the term “writer’s block,” but is it just something made up, or do writers really experience a neurological affliction that prohibits them from writing? And once you’ve been bitten by the writer’s block bug, how can you combat its pesky effects?
In today’s episode, Cristina and Michelle will search for the answers by sharing their own experiences and by examining John Dufresne’s book, “The Lie That Tells a Truth.”
