In this episode, I sit down with legendary guitarist, songwriter, producer, author, and Fanny co-founder June Millington for a powerful conversation about music, identity, resistance, and the sacred force of women making sound together.

June shares stories from her childhood in the Philippines, the moment she first heard the sound of an acoustic guitar, and how music became a bridge into belonging after moving to California in the 1960s.

Together, we explore Fanny’s groundbreaking place in rock history, what it means to “play like a girl,” and how June continues to mentor the next generation of young women musicians through the Institute for the Musical Arts in Goshen, Massachusetts.

This conversation is about sound as devotion, creativity as healing, and the courage to turn up the volume when the world tells you to stay quiet.
