The Power of Your Voice: Music, Motherhood and the Songs our Children Remember

Music has a way of meeting us in the hardest moments.

In the sleepless nights, the endless days, the bath time battles, the bedtime negotiations and the moments when you just need something to shift the mood.

In this episode of Things Nobody Tells You, Emmy sits down with children's musician and mother of two, Angie Who, for a conversation about the power of singing, the science behind music and why using your voice matters more than you think.

Angie shares how motherhood changed her creative path, from playing in an alt country band to finding her muse in her daughter and creating music that has reached families around the world. She talks about the three years without sleep, the songs born at the dinner table, the sacred connection when your music reaches others and why singing is one of the most primal and powerful tools we have as parents.

Together, Emmy and Angie explore the science of singing, how it syncs heart rates and brain waves, regulates oxygen levels and reduces stress for both parent and child. They unpack the shame so many of us carry around our voices, why Western culture has told us not to sing unless we're good at it, and why we need to bring singing back as community glue.

This episode is for any parent who has forgotten to sing, feels too self conscious to try, or simply needs a reminder that if you can talk, you can sing.

Because singing is not about being perfect.

It is about connection, regulation, joy and making the hard things a little bit easier.
