The Hardcore Therapist 121- Scott Winegard (Texas Is The Reason, Fountainhead

Today’s guest is Scott Winegard — bassist for Texas Is the Reason, chef, author, and expert in plant-based cuisine.

Texas Is the Reason helped shape the emotional core of 90s hardcore, creating space for vulnerability and introspection long before most of us had language for our nervous systems or grief. That music held a lot of people through formative years of intensity and becoming.

Scott’s work, whether in music, food, or writing  carries a clear throughline: care matters. What we take in, emotionally and physically, shapes how we move through the world. In this conversation, we talk about identity beyond roles, creative evolution, nourishment, and staying grounded while continuing to grow.

This episode is for anyone who found emotional safety in hardcore — and for anyone learning how to care for themselves after survival.
