Why I'm Starting a Podcast (And Where It Might Go)

🎙️ Starting a podcast wasn’t always part of the plan, but maybe it’s been a long time coming.

For years, I’ve poured my heart into helping independent musicians — booking shows, promoting bands, and showing up even when it meant doing it all out of pocket. I’ve always believed in the power of music to bring people together, to heal, and to tell the stories that don’t always make it to the big stages.

But this podcast isn’t just about music — and that’s exactly why I’m so excited to share it with you.

💜 What

Harmony Heartbeat

Is Really About

Harmony Heartbeat is more than a podcast — it’s a passion project, a legacy, and a space for real connection. It’s about:

• Independent and national bands, with raw, honest conversations behind the music.

• Life, in all its messy, beautiful, hilarious, and heartbreaking forms.

• Real talk, whether we’re discussing a deep topic or laughing over something ridiculous.

It’s not all serious — this podcast is meant to be fun, too. Full of laughter, great stories, and maybe even a tear or two. Because life isn’t just one thing. One minute it’s music, the next it’s an embarrassing moment you can’t forget, and the next it’s something that cracks you wide open in the best way.

Just like my blogs, it won’t be confined to one topic. We’ll talk about music, life, love, growth, grief, parenting, weird moments, beautiful memories — whatever comes up, we go there.

🧭 Why I’m Really Doing This

One of the biggest reasons I’m starting Harmony Heartbeat is for my kids.

This podcast is part of the digital footprint I’m leaving behind — something they can listen to when I’m no longer here. Something they can come back to when they miss my voice or want to remember what I stood for. A reminder that I was always doing my best to love hard, care deeply, and make something that mattered.

I’ve always been someone who shows up. If you needed someone to listen, I listened. If I could help, I helped — even when I didn’t have much to give. That’s just who I am. And this podcast is an extension of that. It’s one more way I can be there for others, even from afar or long after I’m gone.

🎧 Why a Podcast?

Podcasts create space for connection in a way that few other platforms do. They let you slow down and really listen. I wanted that — a way to have deep conversations and share meaningful moments, not just with artists and creatives, but with anyone who has a story worth sharing (which is everyone).

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real — and being present.

🔮 What’s Coming Next

Right now, I’m working on building Harmony Heartbeat from the ground up. The first few episodes will feature independent and national artists, close friends, and honest conversations about life.

And if people connect with it, I’m ready to go even further: live-streamed podcast episodes where we can interact, laugh together, cry a little, and share those real-time “you had to be there” moments.

🖤 From My Heart to Yours

Harmony Heartbeat isn’t just a podcast. It’s a piece of my heart. A place for music and meaning. A legacy of love, laughter, and truth. A place where anyone who tunes in can feel seen, heard, and maybe even understood.

Whether it’s about a band you’ve never heard of, a life story you relate to, or a moment that just makes you smile — this podcast is for you.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. And thank you for letting me be part of your heartbeat, too.

Peace, Love and Loud Musi
