In this episode, Melanie (Dflower) and Yunie (YunieMo) dive into having an "attitude of gratitude" year-round, not just during the holidays. They talk about the struggles of balancing work and life in the music biz, where constant travel and long hours can lead to burnout. The key? Taking time to rest and recharge — even if it’s just a day or two — to keep the creative energy flowing.
They also chat about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who truly support your vision. In the same breath, they reflect on the recent losses of some of our musical giants — Quincy Jones, Roy Haynes, Benny Golson, and Lou Donaldson. While these legends lived long, fruitful lives, their passing still hits hard. Melanie and Yunie emphasize how important it is to honor our icons while they're still here, appreciating the legacy they leave behind.
Tap into this deep, wide-ranging conversation about self-care, gratitude, and the people who help keep us inspired.
