On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why You Can’t Change Him: Embracing Authentic Love and Letting Go of Control. 25:44

42 weeks ago25:44

25:44

In this episode of *You First: A Journey to Self*, we’re getting real about one of the biggest relationship traps—trying to change our partners. As women, it’s common to fall for someone’s potential and believe that with time, we can mold them into the ideal partner. But the truth? You cannot change them. And more importantly, you shouldn’t want to. We’ll explore why it’s impossible to change someone, especially a man, and why healthy masculine energy naturally resists attempts at control. Instead of putting all our energy into fixing someone else, we’ll dive into the idea of focusing on ourselves—our own needs, values, and growth. We also discuss how clashing energies—unhealthy masculine vs. healthy masculine—can create distance and disconnection, leading to frustration and even infidelity. Learn how to embrace your feminine energy in a way that creates balance and polarity in relationships, rather than frustration and power struggles. Whether you’re in the early stages of dating or have been with your partner for years, this episode will guide you in understanding when to accept someone for who they are and how to foster true, deep connection without trying to control or mother them. Tune in for a candid conversation about love, independence, and the power of letting go of the need to change others! Need extra support from Maria?

Navigating Heavy Emotions with Compassion and Curiosity 24:58

Hello, my beautiful muses. This week, I’m inviting you into a more intimate and vulnerable space. Typically, I come to you full of energy and ready to share those big, lightbulb moments, but today, my journey is different—and I want to bring you along with me. In this episode, I’m processing some deep, heavy emotions that surfaced during my menstrual cycle—a time that I now embrace as a moment for deep self-reflection and release. I found myself waking up in the middle of the night, overwhelmed by memories of my past and the pain of feeling unworthy of love and support. As I sat with these emotions, I reflected on how my healing journey has evolved. I’ve learned to approach these moments with tenderness, empathy, and compassion rather than judgment. I’ve realized that healing isn’t about rushing to the finish line; it’s about honoring the process, allowing ourselves to feel, and understanding that every step forward, even if it feels like a step back, is part of the journey. Join me as I share a raw, heartfelt story from my past and explore how these old wounds still affect me today. I’ll walk you through how I led myself through this emotional storm, using tools like EFT tapping and deep self-compassion, and how I reframed my narrative to reclaim my worthiness. If you’re on your own healing journey, feeling stuck, or struggling with old triggers, this episode is for you. We’ll explore how to embrace our emotions, learn from them, and continue growing, one compassionate step at a time. Remember, my loves, healing has no finish line. It’s a journey—and we’re on it together. Need extra support from Maria?

3 ways to overcome fear of the unknown + befriending fear 17:21

2 years ago17:21

17:21

At its core, the fear of the unknown is driven by a lack of knowledge and understanding about what lies ahead. Human beings naturally seek familiarity and predictability as a means of coping with their environment and ensuring their safety. When confronted with circumstances beyond our comprehension or when we lack control over a situation, a sense of vulnerability emerges, leading to anxiety, restlessness, and an overwhelming sense of dread. The fear of the unknown can manifest in various ways. It can be related to new environments, cultures, traditions, people, ideas, or even future events. Common situations that trigger this fear include starting a new job, moving to a different city or country, encountering new social settings, or facing a major life change. Overcoming the fear of the unknown requires a willingness to embrace uncertainty and engage in open-minded exploration. By seeking knowledge, fostering curiosity, and adopting a growth mindset. I will go over a few ways that have worked for me when it comes to overcoming fear of the unknown. Connect with me on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/_maria.fuentes_/ The program is HERE!

Being truly vulnerable in your relationships and owning your power 19:21

2 years ago19:21

19:21

In this week's episode, we will talk about how to set the standard on how you want to be treated in relationships by being vulnerable with those you care about. Being vulnerable in our relationships is not about displaying weakness or seeking sympathy. Rather, it's about having the courage to expose our true selves, fears, and insecurities, knowing that it takes strength to be authentic. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we create an environment that fosters trust, empathy, and emotional intimacy. Remember, vulnerability is a choice and requires careful consideration of the people with whom we share our innermost selves. Not everyone will reciprocate vulnerability, and that's okay. But when we find those individuals who embrace and support us in our vulnerability, our relationships can transcend to new heights. So, take a leap of faith, and dare to be vulnerable. Embrace the discomfort and uncertainty that comes with it, for it is in those moments that we pave the way for genuine connections and profound growth. Trust, authenticity, empathy, and resilience await those who have the courage to be truly vulnerable.

Don't play hard to get! BECOME hard to get! 16:06

2 years ago16:06

We engage in playing games while dating because we often seek to shield ourselves from the discomfort of vulnerability and the sharing of emotional intimacy. Many women recognize the influence they possess in the dating world and, consequently, employ these tactics to avoid appearing too readily available or overly open to potential partners. However, it's crucial to distinguish between merely playing hard to get and genuinely embodying that quality. When we resort to playing games, our intention is for the other person to recognize our value and worth, attributes that we may sometimes fail to acknowledge in ourselves. On the other hand, when we authentically adopt the stance of being hard to get, we prioritize self-nurturance and growth, devoting our time and energy exclusively to things that enhance our lives. This self-empowering energy attracts the right men into our lives.

Breaking up with your past + Releasing the emotional stories 18:18

18:18

In this week's episode, we will dive into a topic that I have struggled with myself. Breaking up with your past and the emotional stories that were created. Breaking up with your past is a profound act of self-care that can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life in all aspects. By releasing the grip of your past, you free up valuable emotional and mental energy that can be directed toward the present and future. Dwelling on past mistakes, regrets, or negative experiences drains your vitality and prevents you from fully engaging with the opportunities that lie ahead. Imagine carrying a heavy backpack of burdens everywhere you go—it's exhausting and limits your ability to explore new horizons. When you break up with your past, you give yourself permission to heal and evolve. The scars of past wounds gradually fade as you cultivate resilience and learn valuable lessons from your experiences. This newfound wisdom becomes a source of strength, helping you navigate challenges with grace and confidence. If you found this episode helpful please leave us a review.
