Topics songwriting, music, mental health, emotions, self-help

Hi, I’m Rachel. I feel very deeply and write songs from my raw open wild heart. My music is how I process all of those big emotions. When I’m feeling alone, I write songs to remind myself how connected and supported I am. When I’m feeling powerless I write about my strength and power until I remember who I am again. When I’m feeling jealous and small and angry, I write and allow all those feelings, but by pouring the pain through my voice and piano I often arrive at a bigger truth; that those emotions are just waves, and I am the entire ocean. You are too. More than anything, I hope you are also able to feel the truth of who you are while listening to my music. I love you so much, thank you for listening.
