About this episode

Dr. Toy sits down with a creative University of Pittsburgh student, Zora Borde-Perry, author of the music-guided journal Reflections in Rhythm. Zora explains how she self-published her work via Amazon KDP in just over two weeks following a painful 5-year breakup. They break down the therapeutic benefits of analyzing songs like Reason by Omah Lay, Bag Lady by Erykah Badu, and Cranes in the Sky by Solange to safely unpack emotional baggage.
