About This Podcast

Supernova Support invites listeners along for the ride with two veteran songwriters, friends, and former bandmates, Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown in their recovery from music scene disillusionment, career crashes, motherhood, and co-dependency. The dynamic duo explore the pitfalls of internal and external critical voices and systems that keep women songwriters from sharing their songs with the world and shine the light on a pathway to a joyful, sustainable, and successful creative life. Each episode features two original songs that illustrate the creative struggles and craft elements pertaining to the topic. Lots of laughter and f-bombs along the way.
