Show notes

To calm the storm inside your mind, you must first understand it. Singer and actress Rhonda Ross shares her theory of "emotional sovereignty" — the idea that your feelings aren't shaped just by your circumstances, but by the thoughts running on loop in your head. In conversation with scholar and TED Fellow Daniel Alexander Jones, Ross introduces the unexpected, music-rooted practice for taking control of your narrative. Vote for our show in the Signal Awards for Most Inspirational podcast! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
