25. What Bittersweet (Susan Cain) songs would Millennials and GenZers have on their playlist?

Kiki and Emma join Yo to discuss their picks from their playlists based on the book, Bittersweet, by Susan Cain. As we discussed in episodes 23 and 24, bittersweet is the transformation of pain into beauty. It shows us how to respond so can heal and nourish the souls.

As we did in episode 24, we added short music clips while keeping to the Fair Use Laws.

Here are some of the questions we covered:

· What music would be on your bittersweet playlist?

· Why do you find these songs and movies so appealing?

· When do you go to them?

· What do you long for as you listen?

We hope you’ll find some new songs to add to your own playlist!!
