One Song, One Story | Where Music Meets Memory13 Mar

S2:E8 - The Song That Changed How I See Life | No Day But Today from Rent

What happens when a song gives you permission to live truthfully?

In this episode of One Song One Story, I’m joined by Gazit Chaya Nkosi, a healer and nervous system practitioner whose life journey has taken them through religion, identity, heartbreak, and profound spiritual transformation.

Every episode begins with a simple premise. My guest brings one song that holds deep meaning for them. Together we unpack the memories, emotions and life experiences tied to it.

Gazit Chaya brings “No Day But Today” from the musical Rent.

For Gazit Chaya, this song became a compass during some of the most challenging and transformative moments of their life. A reminder that life is fragile, time is precious, and that ultimately there is only one place we can live.

Right here.
Right now.

Our conversation moves through themes of identity, grief, courage, spirituality and the deeply human desire to live authentically. Gazit shares how music helped them navigate difficult chapters of their life and how certain songs arrive exactly when we need them most.

We explore how art can give language to experiences we don’t yet know how to articulate, and why some songs stay with us for decades, quietly shaping who we become.

This is a reflective, moving conversation about truth, transformation, and the power of music to illuminate the path forward.

If you’ve ever had a song that felt like it understood you before you understood yourself, this episode will resonate.
