Oran Healing through Creativity, Music and PTSD
Join Oran and I as we chat the healing power of music and creativity. Oran shares how creativity and embracing her passion for music has supported her in processing and working through her PTSD journey.
This episode is released the day after her second single is released “Set Free”. This single really relates to her PTSD journey. The spirit of set free is based on how Oran could move from rock bottom.
Oran is a mum to 3 boys, award winning business women, wife and leader. She shares and inspires us to embrace change and creativity, a life you feel passionate about and a life filled with opportunities for self expression.

Oran is a sonic storyteller who delves into the depths of human experience. With her distinct blend of vulnerability and unwavering authenticity. Born in Australia and raised in Moray, Scotland, Oran’s soaring vocals and laid-back blues phrasing meets a refreshing delivery of powerful lyrical imagery.
Oran began writing new album Rebellious Rebirth in the summer of 2023 (after a decade-long pause) in response to a PTSD diagnosis, following a traumatic life event. Oran found solace in songwriting and states that her writing method differs from day to day, based on the starting point; varying from a melodic or lyrical idea that makes an emotional or ‘story’ point. Lyrics take the most time for Oran, which she describes as a slow process of repetition over weeks. Oran’s lyrics tend to focus on themes of love, loss and internal struggles.
See Oran LIVE
