These past two months Your Song has been doing deep work in community with women- journaling, songwriting, singing and laughing. Here is a snippet of a song from our second day at The Ohio Reformatory for Women with and songwriting partner,

“Time to Be Seen” by ORW
The outsider on the sidelines
I give up before I start(ed)
Surrounded by many
never truly finding peace

Trying to keep it all together
what needs to fall apart
skies change from the darkness
a spark of light ignites in me

Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me

Verse:
I am overcoming
a path of healing and forgiveness
push me away, it’s okay
you will come and find me someday
guilty in the midst of
gratefulness..
Life ain’t easy
Gotta give it all ya got

Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me

Bridge:
I’m the one to break the chains
A good life, a fresh start
Prisons and death are
no longer my way out

Couldn’t do it on my own
Where I’m going is unknown
only God knows
And I know I’m not alone

These past two months Your Song has been doing deep work in community with women- journaling, songwriting, singing and laughing. Here is a snippet of a song from our first day at The Ohio Reformatory for Women with Kyshona and songwriting partner,

“It’s Time”
by the Goddesses of Time

I’m from tears of bitter disappointments
Perseverance, Bad choices
Eyes closed, We continue to weep
Rolling down mascara stained cheeks.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
The devil will present himself as little things
picking my battles, standin on faith
It’s a miracle I’m starting to change

Chorus:
Don’t count me out, count me in.
In the same place but different.
Stages, places, many phases
We all fight our own temptations
But we’re all the same, been scorned by pain,
now it’s time for change
It’s time, it’s time

Verse:
Things are starting to look brighter
I’m a fighter baptized by fire
Never get you time back, workin on self
worried about me and nobody else

Sun always shines on the worst days
Now I’m living in a better way
Gotta keep your head up, so you don’t slip
walking with the angels, so you can’t quit

Calling all songwriters!!!!

Your Song is offering up a special virtual training (computer hugs🫂) for songwriters who feel called to use their gifts to help others tell their stories.

If you’re interested in becoming a Your Song songwriting partner, we’d love for you to join us for our upcoming virtual training session!

When: January 31st - 10am-5pm (Central), break for lunch
Location: Online (Zoom)

In 2026, we’ll be launching therapeutic songwriting groups with Nashville youth, elders in memory care, and women in recovery. Maybe you have the desire to start your own songwriting workshops in your community. We would love to have you be part of this meaningful work.

This training is open to songwriters everywhere, not just in Nashville!

Dear Friends and Supporters, I can hardly believe we’ve reached another year of Your Song. Somehow it has flown by and felt like an eternity all at once.

This year has been a practice in growth—deep, meaningful, and energizing growth—and I’d like to share just a few of the ways Your Song has blossomed in 2025.

We’ve offered 34 songwriting workshops, wrote 17 songs, & served 125 youth, 53 women in recovery, & 90 elders (65+).

One of the most significant shifts has been the increase in hands-on support Your Song received this year. Through our fiscal sponsor, Unmanageable, and through artists and friends in the Nashville community, we’ve been able to expand our capacity in ways we’ve only dreamed of. Thanks to Unmanageable, our grant writer has knocked it out of the park, helping us secure two grants for youth programming in Nashville and another grant supporting work with recovery communities around the country.

Our team of artist partners has grown immensely, and I am humbled by the hearts of Telisha Williams (artist and MTSU adjunct professor), Daphne Clark (artist and licensed music therapist), and Sammi Accola (artist and social media powerhouse). These women have leaned fully into the mission of Your Song, giving their time, energy, and expertise to help us grow. I cannot wait for the day we can fully compensate them for their dedication.

This fall, we also completed a therapeutic songwriting training for 12 new artist partners! The workshop was a huge success, and because so many people have already asked about the next one, we’re planning another training for late January 2026. Our goal is to empower songwriters to start their own workshops in their local communities and while traveling during tour season.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to keep expanding, learning, and making music with communities across the country. Together, let’s continue creating spaces where every voice matters, every person is seen, and every story is sung.

We are so grateful for your support this past year at Your Song. On this Giving Tuesday, we know there are so many places you can give, and we deeply appreciate the support you’ve shown us over the past five years.

To see the tangible impact of your generosity, here are a few numbers to guide your giving:

✍️ $50 covers notebooks and pencils for every participant
✍️ $150 pays one songwriter for a songwriting workshop
✍️ $300 funds two songwriters to lead an intensive therapeutic songwriting workshop for people in recovery and incarceration
✍️ $1,000 supports a professional recording of one song written in the community

Your support—this year and in years past—has helped us provide therapeutic songwriting workshops to countless youth, elders, and people in recovery, not only in Nashville but across the country.

Launching: New partner status 💅🏾

In the past two weeks, we completed 2 therapeutic songwriting trainings in Nashville, adding 12 new artist partners for Your Song. I have forgotten how much I love teaching and empowering artists to use their gifts for positive change.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me pull off this 5 year goal of mine. Thank you Telisha Williams and Daphne Clark for being the best teaching team I could imagine. Thank you to Sammi Accola for helping us get the message out on the interwebs.

And thank you to the artists that trusted us enough to want to learn more about the therapeutic process of songwriting with high risk communities.

Stay tuned! Your Song is growing.

Post-Halloween, but not Thanksgiving yet—sooo, spooky season is still on!👻

Let’s ~demystify~ the scary things.

What are you afraid of? Maybe… what fear are you letting go of today?

✍️ This month’s writing challenge (or should we say, slow-down challenge): Set a timer for 5–10 minutes. Close your eyes (or don’t) and simply take in what’s around you.

Let your thoughts drift by—no need to chase or wrestle with them. Treat them like traffic and just watch them drive by.

When your time is up, journal on what thoughts came up. Reflect on any physical changes you feel from the beginning of your quiet time to the end.

What did you notice? Did you gain any clarity? Did you fall asleep? (that’s completely allowed!)

If you’d like to share what surfaced, we’d love to listen.

This month’s writing prompt...What has helped you stay grounded when the world around you has felt out of control?

Do you bake?🎂Do you meditate?🧘🏿‍♀️Go for walks?🌞

If you haven’t been implementing them lately, what is one thing you could add to your daily routine for grounding?

Now, the next step is the hardest: Go do that thing this week and journal about what you observed around you and within your body.

What did you experience in this moment of grounding?

Over the years, Your Song has grown from 1:1 Zoom sessions with fans in the summer of 2020 to group songwriting workshops with teens across the country by summer 2021.

Once touring picked back up, I had the incredible opportunity to bring Your Song on the road—writing with communities from West Virginia to California. Together, we’ve created songs about overcoming addiction, standing up to bullies, embracing the unknown, and learning to love ourselves.

There have been so many moments where I’ve turned back to these songs for motivation and encouragement—these community-written lyrics are full of wisdom and heart.

I’m endlessly grateful to every community partner, co-writer, client, and audience member who has helped keep this project alive. Thank you for helping us spread the power of self-expression and storytelling.

Thank you for all the love and support, friends! Happy five.

This month’s reminder—You are worthy of your own tenderness. Take that in for a second. Your own tenderness.

✍️What parts of yourself have you criticized that actually could use some extra tenderness, love, and care?
✍️What parts of yourself have you overlooked?
