What if the song you can’t stop playing isn’t just a banger... but a breadcrumb?In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with DJ Hesta Prynn - internationally acclaimed DJ, licensed therapist, and host of the iHeart podcast Music is Therapy. This is not just a conversation about music. It’s about identity, nostalgia, grief, healing, reinvention - and how the songs we return to are often pointing us toward something deeper.Hesta opens up about how music from her teen years shaped her identity, what losing her entire CD collection in college taught her about personal transformation, and how playlists can help us move through grief and joy alike. From Tori Amos and Beastie Boys to the healing power of a perfect transition, this one is packed with insight, energy, and soul.If you’ve ever used a mixtape to get over someone... or found yourself looping one track on repeat for days... you’re going to love this chat.Listen to Music is Therapy oniHeartSpotifyor wherever you get your podcastsFollow Hesta Prynn on Instagram: @hestaprynnmusicExplore the podcast directly at: hestaprynn.com/musicistherapyLearn more about Hesta, her work, and upcoming projects:
