112 - Interview with Carrie KC West

About this Episode

Carrie KC West joins me to explore the power of story — the ones we inherit, outgrow, and can rewrite.

Together we talk about how music can become a turning point when we’re ready to see our life from a different perspective. Our personal soundtracks often reflect where we are in our journey and can even guide us toward new chapters

In this episode we talk about:

The moment Carrie realised: “My life is a story… a crappy story, but it’s a story.” — and why that realisation can be surprisingly freeing

How many of the stories we live by aren’t actually ours, but inherited from family, culture, or expectations

Why the music we listen to during certain life chapters can reveal what we’re processing emotionally

The idea of “daily rewrites” — making small shifts in how we see our story instead of trying to change everything at once

Whether you’re a music lover, a reflective soul, or someone navigating a new chapter, this episode offers inspiration and a reminder of how deeply music connects us to our own story.
