"I think having a sense of gratitude is super important to me."
What if a song could capture the essence of renewal and hope?

Their song 'Jericho In Bloom' isn't just a melody; it's a lifeline for anyone navigating the rough waters of recovery.
Inspired by the resilient Rose of Jericho, a plant that springs back to life after years of dormancy, the song speaks volumes about the human spirit's capacity to bounce back from hardship. Dayna and the band dive into how this powerful metaphor of renewal resonates with their own journeys and the broader recovery community. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as they discuss the crucial role of gratitude in maintaining sobriety.

Comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and isolation, but recognizing our own worth is a vital step towards healing.
Dayna emphasizes that understanding our value, independent of external validation, is key to overcoming these pressures. Wrapping up on a hopeful note, Dayna and Brotherly Mud reflect on music's unique ability to unite and uplift. They encourage listeners to find their own sources of inspiration and to cultivate gratitude as a daily practice.
