The Music in Me
🎶 Welcome to The Music in Me, a podcast where music isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel.
Hi, I’m Teri, your host and fellow music lover. From the moment I first heard a melody, music has been my greatest passion. It’s the soundtrack to my life, and I believe it’s the soundtrack to yours too. Whether it’s a song that makes you dance, a Broadway musical that leaves you in awe, or an anthem that inspires change, music has the power to connect us in ways words alone never could.
On this podcast, we explore it all—chart-topping hits, hidden gems, iconic Broadway shows, and the incredible stories behind the music. I’m here to share my love of all genres and dive into how music shapes our lives, brings us joy, and reminds us we’re not alone.
Every episode is packed with rhythm, heart, and discovery. Whether we’re breaking down wedding dance favorites, celebrating musicals like Mean Girls or Bonnie and Clyde, or exploring anthems of freedom and resilience, there’s always something new to learn and love.
If you’re as passionate about music as I am—or if you’re just curious about the songs and stories that inspire us—then join me for a journey through The Music in Me. Together, we’ll celebrate the beats that bring us together and keep us moving forward.
Hit play and let’s get started! 🎧✨
