Healing with Music - Addiction, Burnout & Grief
I used music to help me through my hardest days with addiction, burnout and grief.
Because my healing has been so profound it lead me to develop and trademark a system of tools that uses music as a basis for transformation. I call it Intuitive Music Programming (TM)
It all began when I reflected on my childhood, and particularly my teenage years when I noticed that in heartbreak I would listen to very specific types of music. Test this. Ask anybody “what was the song of your first heartbreak?” : Everybody will remember it.
It's because the music of the time when you were broken-hearted accompanied you in the physical emotional experience you were going through.
Music understood exactly what you were feeling without you needing to explain it.
Music could accompany you in how you were feeling in your heartbreak
Music did this without trying to save you, rescue or advise you.
Music could just be with you.
Music helps you regulate your emotions.
It helps you move through that emotion so you don't have to avoid it.
I developed intuitive music programming through this experience.
Building Bridges of Compassion: How to Approach Concerns About Someone's Well-Being
Some of you may ]know that I'm taking time this summer to spend time to heal, spend time to retreat, to reflect, to reset, to recalibrate, and bring some love into my own life.
I've been busy. I've been working so hard, like literally working hard the whole 2022. It’s been all about hustling and refining my skills as a Solo Entrepreneur. Because I want to scale and I took course after course, business course, digital marketing, sales, you name it, I did it. SEO copywriting, the works. I got my head down. I got really strategic. I got into my left brain and the logical, pragmatic, deliberate side of myself and, you know, I had a win.
Last year I had record sales in one month and that was a huge, huge win. It allowed me to start onboarding team members to really kick off my podcast. Not long after that, however, I crashed and burned and went into burnout.
Breaking the myth of age: It’s Never too Late, You’re always on time
I'm 49 years old. You'd think right that by this stage of life, that there's nothing left to learn there's nothing new to discover. I mean at 49 I'm nearly half a century old! That feels ancient and yet I was able to give myself ,I was able to receive an experience like I'd never had before.
I've been on my own personal journey of healing for nearly 10 years now. But truly on the grand scale of things is 20% of my life. Yet, just when I thought, and there lies the problem, just when I thought that I was getting a grip on life, and I was finding balance again, and I was finding direction and focus with my business and everything seems to be feeling very grounded, I burned out the end of last year, as many of you know, and I thought I was in recovery, until…
What Family Constellations taught me about family dynamics beyond what the eye can see
Family Constellations teaches us that our families have their own rules and patterns and sometimes things in the past, like traumatic experiences and events and unresolved issues situations can still impact us today, even if we don't even know about.
These hidden influences can show up as repeated problems. or emotional struggles in our lives today. By understanding these hidden dynamics we can heal and make our families healthier and happier.
We are more than deserving of a life that is full and thriving and abundant in love, peace and harmony.
Our parents did the best they can with what they knew and didn’t know. Once we know though, we have an opportunity to heal and grow. We cannot undo what our parents did. We can however acknowledge and take conscious steps to move forward by reparenting ourselves.
From Grief to Gratitude; An unexpected journey
Grief is often seen as a taboo topic, something that we should keep to ourselves and not burden others with. However, I believe that breaking the stigma surrounding grief is essential for our collective healing. By sharing our stories and experiences, we can create a more compassionate and understanding society. It is important to remember that grief is not a weakness, but rather a natural response to loss. By talking about it openly, we can create a space for healing and growth.
