Listen to the Words

In this episode of Listen to the Words, we dive into the tender and thought-provoking ballad “Daughters” by John Mayer. More than just a chart-topping song, “Daughters” is a lyrical meditation on the deep, often unspoken impact that parents—especially fathers—have on their daughters' emotional lives and future relationships.We unpack Mayer's introspective lyrics, explore the raw vulnerability in his message, and ask: what responsibilities do we carry into our most formative relationships? Why do the words we say—or fail to say—matter so deeply?Whether you're a parent, a child, or someone reflecting on your past, this episode invites you to truly listen to the words—and what they're still teaching us today.

We are getting back into the groove of podcasting. We play our favorite game "Would You Rather".

We are back after some time away. Life got hectic but we are back with an interview episode!

We all have that song — the one we blast in the car with the windows up or belt out in the shower when no one's listening. In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of guilty pleasure songs — the tunes we're slightly embarrassed to love but just can't stop listening to. From cheesy pop hits to one-hit wonders and unexpected throwbacks, we're celebrating the music that makes us feel good (even if we pretend otherwise).Join us as we confess our own guilty pleasures, explore why these songs stick with us, and hear from listeners about the tracks they love to hate (or hate to love). It's all about embracing the cringe and turning up the volume.#spicegirls #labamba #europe #theoutfield #carlyraejepsen #tlc #len #vanessacarlton #smashmouth #toto #britneyspears #bizmarkie #markmarrison #nsync #taylorswift #cher #backstreetboys #survivor #magic! #therembrandts #jamesblunt #thechainsmokers #outkast #haddaway #tonibasil #ABBA #maroon5 #nickelback #sonyandcher #beegees #aha #starship
