When Music Becomes Medicine (with Levi & Stephanie Ware)
In this episode of Make Your Life Your Legacy, I sit down with Levi and Stephanie Ware, co-founders of Melodic Caring Project, a nonprofit that brings live, personalized music experiences to children and teens facing serious illness. What began as a single livestreamed concert for an 11-year-old girl in isolation has grown into a global movement supporting over 50,000 children and families through music, connection, and presence. Levi and Stephanie share the deeply human origin story of Melodic Caring Project, the moment music stopped being about performance and became a vehicle for purpose. We explore how creativity, technology, and compassion came together in a way that didn’t exist before, and how listening to an inner nudge led them down a path neither of them could have planned, but both felt called to follow.
This conversation also goes behind the scenes: what it takes to build and sustain a heart-driven nonprofit as life partners, parents, and leaders. We talk openly about burnout, financial uncertainty, boundaries, communication, capacity, and the emotional weight of holding space for families navigating illness, grief, and loss without turning away from the hardest moments.
At its core, this episode is a reminder that legacy isn’t built through scale alone, but through presence. Through walking toward pain instead of away from it. Through choosing relationship over avoidance, and purpose over comfort. Levi and Stephanie’s story is a living example of what it means to let love lead, and allow life to rewrite you in the process.
