What if nothing you've been through — not the heartbreak, the grief, the loss, or the struggles — was ever truly wasted?

In this deeply moving episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with singer-songwriter Kemy Ogendi to explore her beautiful song ”Nothing Goes to Waste” and the profound message of faith, hope, surrender, and healing woven into her music.

Kemy's music has been a beloved part of our Revelation Breathwork classes, helping people open their hearts, process emotions, and connect with something greater than themselves.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kemy shares the surprising story behind ”Nothing Goes to Waste,” how the song became a way of processing her own grief, and why she deliberately chose to leave its musical ending unresolved.

We explore the mystery of suffering, the relationship between grief and love, and what it means to trust that even life's most painful experiences can serve a greater purpose — even when we can't yet see how.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:

– The unexpected inspiration behind ”Nothing Goes to Waste” and how the song evolved into something much deeper.
– How music gives us a way to express and process grief when words aren't enough.
– Kemy's childhood experience of a family accident that forever changed her father's life and shaped her understanding of faith.
– The difference between an angry ”I don't know” and a hopeful, surrendered ”I don't know.”
– Why the song intentionally ends on an unresolved note, reflecting the mystery and uncertainty of life.
– How we move from trying to control life's circumstances toward acceptance, trust, and surrender.
– Kemy's evolving relationship with God and her realization that faith isn't something she has to hold onto, but an experience of being held.
– Her journey as a musician, her purpose of sharing the comfort she's received, and her upcoming album exploring childlike faith and trust.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't always mean finding answers, fixing what's broken, or understanding why something happened. Sometimes it means allowing ourselves to feel, surrendering what we cannot control, and trusting that love is still present in the mystery.

As Kemy so beautifully expresses through her music, nothing goes to waste.
