Songs That Got Me Through Covid

Don't keep your distance from these jams!

Hi! I'm Amanda and I'm a music therapist. It's an understatement to say that Covid greatly affected all of our lives and probably our mental health. I'm here to share a list of some of the songs I'd listen to when I needed a pick-me-up or support:

I watched "Scrubs" for the first time during the pandemic- it was the right amount of comedy to get though the tough days and heart to remind me why I go through those days.
