Life Love Music & Space Travel

I LOVE music!!! It certainly soothes the savage beast within me, and I imagine it does the same for many of ya'll as well ;) I've never been much of a "Bucket List" kind of gal, yet it was hard to not resonate with the idea when an opportunity to fullfill a desired earthly experience recently presented itself to me. In this episode you'll hear about the musical experience that became the first ite...

It's official!! I'm a "Shy" again! In this episode I chat about my personal experience AND feelings connected to the name change process.  I changed my name after getting married... and now that I'm officially divorced, and transitioning to becoming a resident of another state, I figured it was about time to come full circle by getting back my independant status, via taking back my maiden name. Yu...

Hello Cyberspace! I can already feel my vulnerability hangover kicking in... Why you ask? Well in this episode I opted to share my personal journey related to my ketamine infusion experience. I am not a physician, therapist, psychologist, Nurse Practitioner, or anything related to the medical world. I am also NOT advocating for OR claiming that ketamine is for you.  What I am doing is sharing what...

There was a time when the idea of being "independant" scared me to death! I used many things that kept me in a very dependant state of body, mind AND spirit. Well... it ain't like that anymore ;) THANK GOODNESS!!  And so, in the spirt of "Independance Day" I opted to focus on the many ways independance has presented itself to me thus far on my earthly experience.  As always, I hope to inspire YOU...

I am presently living out, in real time, the social experiment that is 2 parents & their two grown children all again living under one roof!  It's an experience I never envisioned taking place again, and yet it's turning out to be another great gift presented to me via the great loss and change that has taken place in my life these past 6 months.

Anyone out there struggle with the endless challenges we humans are presented with? I don't know about you, but I find I say, "What the fuck?", quite often! Also translated as, "What's the purpose?!"  Yup, I'm the kind of person who needs to find purpose in lifes challenging happenings, so as to make sense of the situation, or as I often say, "Give purpose to the pain.", which in turn allows me en...

I'm about to take a trip to New Orleans, for Jazz Fest, and I'm admittedly freaking out a bit!  What is taking a trip like for you? Got any tips for my Podfest adventure next month?! Travelling is always a bit challenging for me, and this trip is no exception ;)  Spend a bit of time with me as I work through a bit of my anxiety around leaving the comfy surroundings of the place I call home, to hea...

"Let go? Are you mad?!" That was surely my thought process for a good portion of my life, and still can be at times, BUT I'm getting better at embracing the process AND truly understanding that it IS the way to freedom. The last few years of my life have been filled with many opportunites to let go, especially the last 6 months. And albeit I would have preferred to NOT have had to go through such...

3 months ago yesterday I rolled into NC, having recently left the place I'd called home for the last 27 years. I packed up my car and my dogs and I headed from high in the Rockies to the Southern Atlantic Coast. I'm now officially 3 months into my new life. A life I wanted nothing to do with. A life I was afraid of living, only to find out it's the best life I've lived in quite a few years. That j...

This episode was inspired by my friend Ian!! His topic suggestion was: "The pressure we put on ourselves." I'm sure we all know too well how it feels to be pressured by outside sources, and even worse the good old self imposed pressure.  In this episode I share my own experience on the topic and hope that you'll find comfort in knowing that your not alone in this area. I equally hope you end up fe...

How cool if I had been able to do it in 3 hours right? ;) Oh well, I'm not superwoman ;)  That being said I am pretty proud of myself for staying the course and getting over the #3 hurdle. For whatever re...

Hello Hello cyberspace!!  I did it! I followed through and completed episode #2! I didn't listen to the gremlins in my head, or allow the computer technical difficulties stop me from letting my voice again be heard 😉 I plugged in my mic, put on my headphones, forged forward in the face of fear, and grew a bit taller 😀   In this episode I touch on each of the 4 topics in my title: Life Love Music...
