A Joy Reminderer
In this uplifting opener, Marci and Debbie welcome Jesse Powers—a soulful singer-songwriter who calls herself a “joy reminderer.” Jesse shares how her Southern roots and creative family shaped her playful spirit and love for music. From childhood cassette recordings to overcoming stage fright, Jesse’s journey moved from theater to heartfelt songwriting. With encouragement from friends and mentors, she stepped into her role as a musical storyteller—one whose mission is to spread nourishment, laughter, and healing through her songs.
Music as a Spiritual and Emotional Lifeline
Jesse opens up about her songwriting process, describing it as an emotional and spiritual channeling experience. She explains how music helps regulate the nervous system and connect with deeper truths. The hosts reflect on the energy and healing power in Jesse’s presence and performances. Once writing mostly from sadness, Jesse shares her intentional shift toward joy—affirming that joy and depth are not opposites, but companions in the healing journey.
Self-Forgiveness and Choosing Joy
Jesse’s song “Forgive” is a moving anthem about self-compassion and releasing shame. Inspired by a talk at the Columbus Center for Spiritual Living, Jesse explores the healing that comes when we choose to forgive ourselves. She reminds listeners that joy is not denial of pain, but a powerful choice to keep going. Jesse closes by sharing details about her tour and where to find her music—inviting everyone to connect, sing along, and rediscover joy through sound.
