Music has always been a way for me to set the mood for the month ahead. I think about how I want to feel, what I want to hear, and what kind of energy I want to carry with me. Music is energy, after all—and for September, I wanted to create something dreamy, almost like a little escape into a cartoon character.
Do you ever tap into a character when you listen to music? For September, mine is a girl who is in her prime. She doesn’t have everything figured out yet, but she has a strong foundation, knows who she is, and is genuinely excited to see what comes next.
She’s stepping into the final four months of the year with curiosity, confidence, and a little bit of wonder. This playlist is the soundtrack to her world—a dreamy space separate from reality, where she can romanticize her life, feel deeply, and let herself imagine everything that could be waiting around the corner.
