Podcast Description
REAL TALK: Mental Health Sounds Like This
Hosted by Emma G & Rawinia Judson
What does it really look like to thrive in your zone of genius — without losing yourself in the process?
REAL TALK: Mental Health Sounds Like This is where high-performing humans, creative leaders, and changemakers get honest about the messy, beautiful, and brave work of staying mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well while doing meaningful work in the world.
Hosted by award-winning singer/songwriter, author, and empowerment coach Emma G, and life and leadership coach Rawinia Judson, this podcast is a space for candid conversations about the realities behind resilience. From navigating burnout to healing through music, embracing vulnerability to redefining success — nothing is off limits.
Emma and Rawinia first bonded over early morning CrossFit sessions in New Zealand, where carpool chats quickly turned into soul-deep sisterhood. Now living on opposite sides of the world (Emma in the U.S., Rawinia in Canada), they’re teaming up to bring you a podcast rooted in realness, laughter, and the deep belief that your story matters.
Each episode features intimate, unscripted conversations with guests who are courageously rewriting the narrative around mental health — one story, one strategy, one moment at a time.
This is not therapy. This is not perfection. This is REAL TALK.
And this is what mental health sounds like.

Join us as we chat with Jennifer Hamady – voice coach, psychotherapist, performer, and author – for Episode 14 of Real Talk: Mental Health Sounds Like This.
Singing came naturally to Jennifer since she was a child. But everything changed when her formal vocal training in college left her disconnected from the very thing she loved most – her voice. After losing her voice physically and emotionally, Jennifer began a journey to undo everything that wasn’t working and to reconnect with her true, authentic sound.
Now Jennifer helps others—singers, speakers, performers, executives, and creatives—find their true voice, and express it with power, grace, and freedom.
In this episode, we explore:
How our histories lead to stored emotion that impact our voices
How vocal, emotional, and performance issues are often deeply intertwined
What it really means to “find your voice,” and why so many of us feel disconnected from it
Plus: how to express yourself more fully—on stage, in the boardroom, and in your own life
If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or unsure how to speak or sing your truth, this episode will guide you back home to your most powerful and joyful expression.
