| 5/8/26 | ![]() S3:E1 | “This Song Understood Me Before I Understood Myself” | Riverside by America | What if the song that changed your life wasn’t one you chose… but one that found you at exactly the right moment?In this episode of One Song One Story, I’m joined by Vince Markowsky, for a conversation that moves through identity, resilience, and the unexpected ways music can become a mirror for who we are becoming.Every episode begins with one simple premise: my guest brings one song that holds deep meaning for them, and together we unpack the memories, emotions, and life experiences tied to it.For Vinnie, Riverside by America became far more than just music. It became a marker of transformation. A reminder of where they’d been, what they’d survived, and the person they were learning to become.We explore the moments that shape us quietly. The chapters we don’t realise are defining us until much later. And how certain songs can hold entire versions of ourselves inside them.This conversation moves through:🎵 identity and self-discovery🧠 resilience through difficult seasons✨ the emotional power of music and memory🔥 personal transformation and perspective shifts❤️ how songs can become part of your life storyThis is a reflective, honest, and deeply human conversation about the songs that stay with us and why they matter.If you’ve ever had a song that felt like it understood you before you understood yourself, this episode will resonate.And if there’s a song that carries a story in your life, I’d love to hear it.00:00 Intro00:11 What this episode is about01:03 Welcome Vince Markowsky02:12 If today were a song03:45 A song that connects host and guest05:30 Early memories of music08:10 Growing up and discovering identity through music11:42 Music as emotional escape and expression15:18 Song reveal: Riverside by America17:05 Why this song was the obvious choice20:14 The first time the song truly landed24:30 What life looked like during that season28:12 How the song became a turning point31:45 Identity, growth, and learning to trust yourself35:08 How the meaning of the song has evolved38:21 Music, healing, and perspective shifts41:10 What this song represents now44:02 Who Vinnie would want to cover it46:18 Final reflections48:07 Where to find Vinnie49:20 Closing | — | ||||||
| 4/10/26 | ![]() S2:E12 - "I Can’t Explain It…This Song Found Me After Ceremony" | Vida By Mose | Some songs do not need lyrics to say everything.In this episode of One Song One Story, I sit down with Jason Olivea, a holistic coach and creator of Inner Compass, to explore a track that became the soundtrack to one of the biggest transitions of his life. We met at an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, one of those places that changes how you see yourself, the world, and what you thought was possible. Not long after leaving, Jason discovered a song he can’t explain how he found, but it felt like it found him.🎶 Song Choice: “Vida” by MoseThis song became a container for:Transformation. Integration. Flow. Identity. Love.We talk about:Plant medicine and the unlearning of who you think you areMusic as a tool for shifting state and healingWhy some songs hit the body before the mind understandsSerendipity, timing, and life’s unseen choreographyHow one song can stay steady while life keeps changingIf you’ve ever had a song that instantly takes you back to a feeling, a place, or a version of yourself, you’ll feel this episode deeply.👇 Comment below with a song that found you at the exact right time.00:00 Intro and what this episode is about01:00 Welcome Jason and the brunch story02:13 If today was a song, what would it be03:38 The song that connects us: Just Dropped In06:00 Meeting through ayahuasca and knowing little but feeling close07:18 Jason’s first retreats and why they matter09:39 Jason’s work: psychology, coaching, and Inner Compass11:26 Plant medicine and shifting identity13:28 Mistaken identity and breaking out of the mental cage16:28 Earliest music memories and growing up in New York18:11 Old school hip hop, eclectic taste, and phases21:34 Using music to match mood and shift state25:12 Auditory sensitivity, vibration, and sound as medicine28:50 Song reveal: Vibe by Auf Wieder30:10 Finding the song after Soltara30:28 Meeting Zaina and the beginning of a love story33:56 The song as the embodiment of transition and transformation35:23 No lyrics, only flow and meaning37:41 Shubeeh’s first time hearing the track39:17 The song as emotional integration in the body41:10 Sharing the song with his daughter44:10 Listening to the song in the gym and in life46:43 How the meaning has evolved over time49:35 Stability and turbulence: the song as companion51:45 Songs and relationships that arrive unexpectedly55:05 How little control we really have56:48 If the song was a film scene58:53 Final reflections and takeaway1:00:20 Where to find Jason: innercompass9.com1:00:46 Closing | — | ||||||

Tara brings “No Hard Feelings” by The Avett Brothers, a song that found them in the days after losing their baby sister. At first, it made them angry. Then it cracked them open. And over time, it became something much more than a song. It became medicine. It became a guide. It became part of the path that led them toward healing, purpose, and the life they now live.We talk about grief, identity, spirituality, music as a healing tool, and the way songs can evolve with us over time. Tara shares how this one song helped them process loss, reconnect with their sister in a new way, and step more fully into authenticity and service.This is a conversation about:music and griefhealing after lossspiritual transformationauthenticity and self acceptancethe deeper meaning of “no hard feelings”and how one song can become part of your soul’s journeyIf you’ve ever had a song meet you in the middle of heartbreak and somehow lead you somewhere new, this episode will resonate.00:00 Intro00:11 What this episode is about01:05 Welcome Tara Wiskow02:24 If today were a song03:26 A song that connects host and guest05:18 Tara’s early relationship with music08:47 Music as energy, movement, and emotion12:09 Using music as a healing tool15:18 Song reveal: No Hard Feelings by The Avett Brothers16:00 Why this was an easy song choice18:00 The first time the song truly landed21:30 Losing Tara’s baby sister24:00 Why the song first made them angry27:00 How the song became medicine29:43 Tara’s sister and the spiritual connection to the song31:42 “Be the change you need” and stepping into purpose34:53 Mortality, music, and songwriting36:32 Why this song keeps evolving38:19 Who Tara would want to cover it39:08 What this conversation brought up40:20 Where to find Tara41:41 Closing | — | ||||||

What makes this story so powerful is not just the song itself, but the way Jonathan reframed his experience.Rather than asking “why is this happening to me?” he began asking, “what is this here to teach me?”We talk about:Kanye West recording Through the Wire after a near fatal accidentUsing music as a grounding and regulation toolHealth challenges hidden behind professional successWater fasting, meditation, and conscious healingTrauma, forgiveness, and the unconscious mindWhy understanding the lesson accelerates healingSeeing life’s challenges as wires you move through, not walls you hitThis is a deep, honest, and expansive conversation about consciousness, courage, and choosing to keep going.👇 If a song has helped you through something difficult, share it in the comments.00:00 Intro: going through the wire01:05 Welcome Dr Jonathan Locust02:40 If today were a song03:55 Music as regulation and calming the nervous system06:10 Setting the premise of One Song One Story07:20 Song selection process and why this one stood out08:40 Song reveal: Through the Wire by Kanye West09:55 First hearing the song in college12:20 Dorm rooms, Chicago radio, and early memories14:45 Innovation, sampling, and why Kanye felt different17:10 Relatability, identity, and hip hop culture18:30 Using music as a healing tool later in life20:05 Health crisis and professional success colliding22:10 Reframing hardship as “going through the wire”24:30 Turning adversity into a research question27:10 Meditation, fasting, and intentional healing30:15 A 24 day water fast and physical endurance33:40 Trauma, forgiveness, and unconscious healing37:00 Connection to nature and heightened awareness40:20 Patterns, synchronicity, and meaning43:30 Cultural conditioning and eating habits47:10 Indigenous wisdom and fasting practices50:30 Listening to the song now53:10 Past wires, present wires, and motivation55:40 Who should cover the song58:10 Lessons, acceleration, and closing reflections1:00:20 Where to find Dr Jonathan Locust1:01:40 Final goodbye | — | ||||||

We explore why this track feels like a journey, how it calls us back into connection, and why it continues to reveal new layers years later.This is not a conversation about music theory.It’s about music as remembrance.👇 Comment below with a song that reconnects you to something deeper.----------------------------------------⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro and reconnecting with Weronka01:13 If today were a song02:01 A song that connects host and guest02:37 Meeting in Peru and first experience of breathwork04:08 The power of breath alone05:03 Music, guitar, and singing after ceremony06:44 Remembering shared songs and moments08:58 Four singing at once and ceremonial sound10:04 Deep connections formed on retreat11:18 Weronka’s path and current work13:09 Intensity of ceremony and integration14:48 Online breathwork and reconnecting15:50 Early memories of music16:59 Growing up with rock and rhythm18:09 Curating music for breathwork sessions19:59 Music as DJing inside ceremony20:37 Using friends’ music in breathwork21:30 What this podcast is really about22:05 Song reveal: Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd23:30 First time hearing the song25:51 What hit first in the music27:34 Indigenous themes and deep listening28:51 Time, ancestry, and perspective29:48 Living with a song for ten years31:14 How the song evolves over time33:16 Humility, responsibility, and unity35:09 The meaning of the Spirit Bird37:09 “Are we doing the work?”38:35 Playing and singing the song40:02 Creativity, writing, and detachment42:43 Writing as release and guidance from the body46:13 Final reflections on the song47:13 Gratitude and closing48:14 Where to find Weronka | — | ||||||

Sia | What if one song could become your anchor in the darkest hours?In this episode of One Song One Story, I’m joined by Colleen Grimshaw for a powerful conversation about fear, resilience, and the kind of strength you discover when life gives you no choice but to find it. Colleen shares how Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia became her soundtrack during the early days of a breast cancer diagnosis. When nights felt long, the future felt uncertain, and even the thought of an MRI brought her to the edge of panic, this song became her steady ground.Not just because of the words, but because of the energy in Sia’s voice. The feeling of being held. The reminder that even if life knocks you down, you can get back up.This episode explores:The shock and denial of diagnosisHow fear changes at night when everything feels louderMusic as a mantra when reassurance doesn’t reachLearning to advocate for yourselfFinding strength without letting everyone around you see the fearWhy some songs become part of who we areIf you’ve ever needed something to hold onto when everything felt uncertain, this story will stay with you.🎶 Song featured: Titanium by David Guetta ft.
