And where can we encounter this love that helps us And where can we encounter this love that helps us make sense of ourselves? In podcast # 2, I explain how songwriting helps us to understand and express our emotions. Songwriting with a music therapist can be a very healing process. It can help you to discover how your experiences fit into the context of who you are as a person who is immeasurably loved- by others in your life and most foundationally by God. Entering into this love helps us to realize who we are and even to wonder at the beauty already present in ourselves 🎶🙌🏼🔥

In a special way we raise awareness of the real needs of these women who give themselves to their children in such a unique and intimate way. Motherhood is not easy and a renewed effort to recognize and honor the dignity of this vocation “through an effective and intelligent campaign” in the social, economic, cultural, artistic, clinical, and political spheres is necessary. ••
