Your story truly amazes me and it had me thinking how it relates with some of the seasons I have gone through in my own life. I am going to definitely keep your words in mind as I continue my own life path of healing. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to hear your album in it’s entirety.
Dorothy, thank you. That means a lot to me. I’m touched the story connected with your own seasons of healing. I think so many of us are carrying things quietly, and it helps to know we’re not alone in the process. I’m excited for you to hear the full album, just finished uploading it to my distributor today. Thank you for reading, listening, and sharing this with me!
Loved this. Thanks for sharing. I have learned - or am trying to learn - some similar lessons coming out of a high demand religion & a life centered around becoming and achievement. You’ve put them beautifully.
Thank you. I think a lot of us were taught, very sincerely, to build a life around becoming, striving, achieving, proving. There’s good inside some of that. But eventually I started realizing how easy it is to lose contact with your own nervous system, your own intuition, your own actual life in the middle of all the performance.
I’m still learning too. Slowly. Music has been one of the places helping me come back to myself. I’m glad some of this resonated with you.
Beautiful. It sounds like you’ve done IFS and other deep, confronting work… I liked what you said about surrender - I too am learning to take that word, that concept, seriously.
Jessica, thank you. That means a lot. Yes, I’ve done some deep work over the last few years, and IFS has definitely influenced the way I understand what’s happening inside me. But so has Kolbe, Enneagram, Working Genius, Clifton, and a lot of additional frameworks that help me identify my own, natural patterns. IFS has definitely helped me relate to parts of myself with more compassion instead of just trying to overpower them. And surrender has become a much more serious word for me too. Not passive. Not giving up. More like learning how to stop fighting reality long enough to be changed by it. I really appreciate you reading it that way.
I love this so much! The writing and its meaning are easily accessible. Much of it is a description of what I’ve experienced now a few times in my life and will again soon. Not with music as the context but the process. It’s he process, the feelings, the necessity of letting go of expectations. These are all very familiar to me.💜🙏

“That word can sound soft until life breaks you open enough to understand how much courage it requires.”
YES. Beautifully said.
Thank you!
