The Art of Moving On

Award-winning music supervisor Stephanie Diaz-Matos has built a remarkable career shaping the sound of some of today’s most acclaimed film and television projects. As Head of Music Supervision at Raedio, she leads a diverse and dynamic team that bridges art, business, and culture — helping bring music to life across screens big and small.

In this conversation, Stephanie sits down with Johanna to reflect on the experiences that have shaped her — from the impact of early loss and the lessons she’s carried forward, to the courage it takes to walk away from paths that no longer feel aligned. She speaks with rare honesty about grief, resilience, and rediscovering herself after the sudden loss of her partner of seventeen years, when their daughter was just two years old.

Through vulnerability and wisdom, Stephanie shares how listening inward became her compass — and how community, creativity, and friendship became her anchors. This episode is about what happens when life demands you start again, and how love and music can guide you through the hardest chapters.
