“Listening to music has a positive impact on our health, by helping us recover faster when we experience stress and through the reduction of stress hormone cortisol, to help us achieve a calm state or homeostasis.”

– Alex Doman, Entrepreneur & Music Producer

In this month's playlist, I'll share with you the top 10 songs that I listen to when I need the power of music to uplift me during tough times. Making these playlists for you brings me so much joy and I can't wait for you to listen to each song and feel the comfort it brings into your life.
