Pumpkin Spice Yerba Mate
1–2 minutes

It’s easy to package and sell an entire season, sure. Break out the flannels, sip an apple cider float, and carve pumpkins — these are tangible objects we can see. But how do you bottle a feeling or a memory?

Harvard health scientists confirm that sound — especially music — is a major memory activator. So perhaps this Spotify playlist of indie folk, rock ballads, and pop punk will trigger cozy, comfortable memories of autumns past. You can listen to it while enjoying a tasty pumpkin themed drink. We won’t judge.

  1. Music is AMAZING – I can hear a song from decades ago and sometimes actually remember where I was when I heard it! I find it’s even more powerful than fragrances! Great playlist! Linda 🙂
    Ps – I did a shout out of your blog on mine, hope that’s OK, https://themindfulmigraine.blog/2025/10/17/feeling-a-little-picasso-ish/
