Songs in Bloom: Music, Healing, & the Cycles of Creativity

What does it take to grow as an artist both musically and personally? In this episode, singer-songwriter and music educator Kathryn Jeanette joins Malmborg Report to share her journey through music, creativity, and self-discovery.

She and John discuss her early inspirations, how teaching piano shaped her perspective, and the challenges of balancing creative passion with everyday life. Kathryn also reflects on overcoming writer’s block, the emotional weight of burnout, and how her love for nature and floral design helped her reconnect with creativity and overcome struggles with mental health. They also dive into the parallels between songwriting and the cycles of nature and how music, like plants, goes through seasons of growth, change, and renewal.
