The Sound of Healing

In this episode of The Sound of Healing, I sit down with Lagos-born singer-songwriter Ollá to explore the heart behind her powerful song, Alakowe.From the very first listen, I knew this song carried something deeper - a message of grace, self-compassion, and the reminder to keep going, even when life doesn’t look the way we thought it would.Ollá shares the story of writing Alakowe during a moment of self-doubt while traveling between countries… hearing her mother’s voice in her head… and being reminded to slow down, breathe, and take life one step at a time.We talk about pressure, purpose, reinvention, and what it really means to go easy on yourself.If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or unsure of your path… this one will meet you right where you are.⏱️ Chapters0:00 Intro1:00 Listening to “Alakowe”5:10 Òllá’s reaction to hearing the song again6:40 Why “Alakowe” resonates so deeply8:35 The origin story + meaning of “Alakowe”13:26 The story of Òllá’s mother and her influence24:10 Lyrics deep dive: “Little girl, small town”27:50 What would young Òllá think today?31:35 Lyrics deep dive: “25… 35… life has just begun”36:30 “Even when life gets hard, go easy on yourself”40:52 Fan responses + the making of the video44:20 Where to find Òllá + what’s next📲 Follow Òllá:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theonlyollaIf this episode moved you, share it with someone who needs to hear this ❤️And if you want to experience music in a deeper, more healing way, try    Revelation Breathwork.

In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with Australian singer-songwriter Gordi to explore the story behind her beloved song “Extraordinary Life.”Together they listen to the song and unpack the deeper meaning within it. Gordi shares how the song emerged during a time of profound personal change, as she was navigating identity, coming out, and questioning the life she thought she would live.The conversation also explores Gordi’s unique path living between two intense worlds. While building an international music career, she was simultaneously completing medical training and later working as a doctor during the COVID pandemic. Witnessing illness, death, and grief gave her a radically different perspective on the fragility and beauty of life, themes that continue to shape her songwriting today.In this conversation, we explore:• The story behind “Extraordinary Life” • How the song has become part of weddings, births, and life transitions for listeners • Gordi’s experience coming out and rebuilding her vision of the future • Working as a doctor during the pandemic while continuing her music career • What witnessing death taught her about the preciousness of life • What the word healing means to her todayListen to Gordi’s music:https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UBMFaCTZnL1Hr1nTOEblM?si=PFtULnjrTwaDT4nQa39RlQLearn more about Revelation Breathwork: https://revelationbreathwork.comClick Here: Learn more about the healing power of Revelation Breathwork.Follow us on Instagram: @revelationbreathworkEmail us at [email protected]

We share Reclaim with Malka Russell and trace the song’s roots from a sparse room in Colombia to an anthem for power, body love and voice.

What if a song could hand you back your voice? We sit down with revolutionary artist and producer Sierra Marin to trace the unlikely journey of “This Is Me,” from a women’s production retreat in Costa Rica to a chorus written during the hardest days of a codependent relationship. Sierra opens up about turning perfectionism and heartbreak into fuel for sovereignty, how self love moved from a concept to a daily ritual on the page, and why devotion to ancestors, land, and service keeps her music honest and alive.We dive into the boxes she broke—family expectations, linear career scripts, and the industry’s narrow image of a female artist—and the way surrender became a superpower when willpower hit its limits. Sierra’s stories of hitchhiking with a guitar, busking for every dollar, and writing every day reveal how pain can be portal, not prison. Wonder is her compass: rainbows, clouds, community, and the radical act of protecting space from the pull of the phone. She shares concrete ways to guard that spaciousness so inspiration has somewhere to land.Then the room shifts as we talk Revelation Breathwork. Together with the Medicine Women of Soul, Sierra stepped into an online session where a hand-curated playlist acted as temple walls, each song a portal to memory and courage. We unpack how breathwork can meet plant-medicine depth while keeping you grounded and sovereign, and why experiencing music somatically changes how it heals. We close with a warm invite to our upcoming live online breathwork ceremony and a spotlight on Sierra’s new single, “New Earth, New Day.”If you’re ready to reclaim your truth, breathe with us, and feel music as medicine, hit follow, share this with a friend, and leave a review—what part of your story are you ready to sing?Click Here: Learn more about the healing power of Revelation Breathwork.Follow us on Instagram: @revelationbreathworkEmail us at [email protected]

What if a single lyric could become a turning point? We sit down with Bay Area artist Sophia Rain to unpack the story behind “Intuition,” a song she wrote as a teen that now carries millions of streams and countless personal testimonies. Sophia opens up about the moment 444 appeared in a dangerous situation, how that synchronicity snapped her into clarity, and why trusting her inner compass changed the trajectory of her life.We explore the tension between logic and inner knowing, reframing intuition as a trainable sense rather than a vague hunch. Sophia shares how breathwork became a practical doorway to presence, with the mantra “Exhale to find release, inhale to find my peace” anchoring a simple daily practice. You’ll hear how Revelation Breathwork helped move stuck energy without over-explaining it, and why music—chosen by artists and sequenced with care—can carry “codes” that support healing. From sobriety and self-respect to the courage to stop chasing highs, Sophia offers grounded insight into what real change asks of us: tenderness, repetition, and the willingness to feel what we’d rather avoid.We also invite you into the Medicine Women of Soul experience, where breath and music meet in a live online container designed to help you hear differently and heal deeply. Sophia talks about creative influences like Jay Shetty and Rick Rubin, her roots in spiritual community, and how ancestors and angel numbers still shape her path. If you’ve ever ignored a nudge and paid for it later, this conversation will feel like a homecoming to what you already know.Join us for the live event on Sunday, November 2nd, 3–4:30 p.m. Eastern, with optional VIP Q&A.

A song can feel like a hand on your shoulder. When Desiree Dawson hears “I Am Blessed” with us—start to finish—what unfolds is the full, honest story: sick and alone on tour, a loving text with a friend, a kitchen-table beat, and a wave of gratitude that changed the day. That unforced spark became a viral moment and, more importantly, a companion for people who needed a reminder that even in the middle of the mess, there’s still something steady and kind to lean on.We explore what healing means without the finish line. Desiree talks about finding her way home through music, breath, and community, and why healing feels more like remembering your inherent wholeness than fixing what’s broken. We get real about the highlight reel and the pressure to perform, then shift into how breathwork helps us drop from head to heart so the lyrics land where they can actually do work. She shares the lines that hold her—“finding my way home,” “feeling scared but loving deep”—and why repetition in songs like “Mountaintops” is a conscious choice to let courage sink in.There’s also a candid look at making art inside an industry that doesn’t always honor human pace or values. Desiree names the tension between algorithms and authenticity, and why she still chooses faith in people over gaming the system. One letter from one person who felt supported by a song is enough to keep going. Together, we invite you into something different: a Breathwork x Music experience built entirely around Desiree’s catalog, designed to help you feel the songs in your body, release what’s stuck, and remember what’s true.Come breathe with us.
