Have you ever thought about how the meaning of music, or more specifically a song can change for us over time? In this episode I share my thoughts on this question as well as an exercise that you can do very easily that can answer this question.

Life is all about getting up and try. And try again. And keeping our desires and goals in our minds an hearts, even if we get ‘burnt’ at times. Pink’s song ‘Try’ has been my ‘go to’ song that helped me to come out of my numbness and starting to feel emotions again. Today I share how I am slowly making this transition from numb to trying. How I feel this particular song is more than a love song, it...

Do you remember the song ‘Turn back time’ by Aqua? It is the title song for the movie ‘Sliding Doors’ with Gwyneth Paltrow.

This song got me thinking about how often we might have...

In today's episode I am going way back to the mid 1980's and the hit TV show Miami Vice and the song 'Crockett's Theme' composed by Jan Hammer. The song refers to one of the main characters James "Sonny" Crockett played by Don Johnson and was aired in the first episode in October 1984. Listening to this song brings back a huge flash of emotions: hope, excitement, flow as well as pondering, reflect...

How often do you think to yourself ‘you don’t know me’ when someone judges or criticises you? Or maybe you even asked this about yourself?! This song by Armand van Helden came out in 1999, when I lived in London on my own and had to navigate life away from home and learn to live in a different country. On many occasions, I probably got judged, yet people did not know me and why I did what I did. T...

When was the last time you had a really hard day? A day that tested your nerves and emotions, maybe even broke you down and made you shed a tear or two?!  Often times we are in this loop of giving into limiting believes and fears that can ruin our days, weeks, months and even years!  Do you feel as if you have chains around your hands that hold you back from being happier and in control of your li...

Music has many benefits when learning a new language, and today I am sharing how I used it to learn English.  From sitting at my desk in my room, with pen and paper and a dictionary to end up passing my Cambridge Advance English test when I was 18 back in Switzerland, music has been there by my side and supported me in achieving this goal. And I believe you too can use it to your advantage to...

In this episode of my music storytelling Podcast, I share why I believe gently stretching ourselves and opening up to someone / our closer community can help us so much when we feel the world is overwhelming. Or when we feel undeserving and loose our self-believe. Inspired by Cyndi Lauper’s song ‘True Colours’, I am talking about how I dealt with my low mood by reaching out to my close-knit commun...

On my journey to dig a little deeper into why music is so important to us humans and the reasons behind this, I started to ask myself questions. And this one is the first one.  Not only have I myself pondered on this, but also put the question in my Facebook Group Community and their answers were amazing and beautiful. I will share some of them in this episode as well as my answers, which I h...
