Christine O'Donnell: From Midnight Tokes to Waterfalls (video version)

Can music help us have tough conversations? Sometimes a song introduces us to an idea or a word, before we’re old enough to fully understand it—and suddenly a simple car ride turns into a conversation no one was expecting. In this episode of "Mixtape Chronicles," Christine O’Donnell looks back on the songs and memories that shaped her childhood, including one moment when music opened the door to a conversation with her dad that has stayed with her ever since. We talk about the things we learn through music, the memories tied to the people who first listened with us, and the way certain songs can help us approach subjects that might otherwise feel difficult to bring up. Because sometimes music does more than soundtrack our lives—it gives us a place to start talking.

Just days after her son was born she found herself face deep in a notebook developing a female empowerment podcast for a brand she created called: GoBAMF. Shortly after returning to work she was asked to lead the development, launch and growth of The Dr. Gundry Podcast. The show reached the top of 5% of podcasts worldwide in just five months. After receiving a number of referrals Christine took “the leap” and launched her own production and consulting company called: Bright Sighted Podcasting and she hasn’t looked back since.
