Song Of The Week: Feeling Good - Nina Simone

This week marks the start of my new job after almost two months of being unemployed, and honestly, the only way I can describe how I feel is through Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.” The song has always been an anthem of liberation and renewal, but right now it feels like it was written just for me.

The way Nina sings “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me… and I’m feeling good”, that’s exactly what this moment feels like. The past two months weren’t easy. Being unemployed came with its own set of challenges, anxieties, and restless nights. But walking into this new chapter, I feel lighter. Like the weight I carried has finally been lifted.

This job isn’t just about employment, it’s about reclaiming my sense of purpose, routine, and confidence. Every small step forward now feels like a win. Just like Nina’s powerful voice builds into something soaring, I feel my own energy rising with the promise of what’s ahead.

It really is a new dawn and a new day. And yes, I am feeling good.
