Raising Awareness Through Music

from Getting Through Today · host Brita Bigler Peterson

Episode 17 - In this deeply personal episode of Getting Through Today, I open up about how music has carried me through some of my darkest seasons — when depression, chronic illness, and exhaustion left me feeling overwhelmed, voiceless, and lost.Music became my lifeline. A place where I could be honest, raw, and real when words felt too heavy. Today, I’m sharing that part of my story with you — including the origins of two of my most vulnerable songs, The Letter and Beautiful Broken.This episode touches on sensitive topics like depression and suicidal thoughts, so please take care while listening. My intention is to shed light on these experiences — not to dwell in the pain, but to show how music can be a bridge between struggle and healing.Whether you create, listen, or simply hold space for others, I hope this episode reminds you:You are not alone.Your story matters.And even the broken pieces can become something beautiful. Listen now and join me in raising awareness through music, honesty, and hope.#GettingThroughTodayPodcast #MentalHealthAwareness #MusicHeals #TheLetterSong #BeautifulBroken #ChronicIllnessSupport #YouAreNotAlone #RealTalk #EmotionalHealing #PodcastForHealing
