Let Me Fix It: A Nostalgia Podcast
Let Me Fix It is a new nostalgia podcast hosted by Francesca Ramsey and Delaun Grant. In each episode, they discuss their favorite celebrities, shows, and brands from the past and imagine how they could repackage them for today's relevance. It's like an intervention, but without high stakes.
The Beautiful Track 'My Mind and Me'
The podcast features an interview with Kai Sones, a dear friend of the host. Kai has written a beautiful song called 'My Mind and Me' for the Happy Place album. The song is an honest reflection on the struggle with self-acceptance and feeling lonely, even in the presence of great friends. It was born out of a personal experience of emotional turmoil and serves as a therapeutic outlet for Kai.
Finding Peace with Our Thoughts and Emotions
During the conversation, Kai and the host discuss the importance of finding peace and acceptance in our own minds. They explore the common tendency to pin our happiness on external achievements, relationships, or goals, only to discover that true contentment comes from within. The podcast emphasizes the need for self-kindness, vulnerability, and open communication in fostering mental well-being and strong friendships.
They've been friends since they were kids, but this is the first time Fearne has interviewed Kye Sones - and all because Kye has written My Mind & Me, a brand new song for Happy Place, the album.
