The Promises We Keep: Joel Corda on Music, Healing, and Radical Self-Discipline

Singer-songwriter Joel Corda brings his soulful voice, big heart, and incredible story to this week’s episode of Mental Health and Music. Hailing from Great Falls, Montana — and known as the resident artist at the iconic Sip 'n Dip Lounge — Joel opens up about his 105-pound weight loss, daily 4:30 AM rituals, and the mental health journey that helped him reclaim his life and art.

In this candid conversation, Joel shares how music has been both a compass and a mirror — a tool for processing emotion, shifting mindsets, and offering hope to others. He reveals the role of affirmations, hypnotherapy, and self-made promises in his transformation, and why keeping his word to himself has been more powerful than any external goal.

Whether you're navigating your own breakthrough, seeking morning routine inspiration, or just need a reminder of what’s possible when you show up for yourself — this episode is a moving masterclass in creative courage and mental wellness.
