Rediscovering the Joy of Music and Songwriting Through Community

In this episode, I share my personal journey of seeking financial support to really go for it with my music dreams, only to realise that what I truly needed was to reconnect with the joy of making music. 

I took a break, lost touch with my creativity, but then I had a brilliant idea – running a songwriting retreat. I organised my first retreat in 2019, and it turned out to be a transformative experience, reigniting my passion for songwriting and music! 

Now, I run a business helping others find joy in their music and songwriting journeys.. listen in for how YOU can get involved.

• Receiving a grant from the Scottish government for my album, but feeling panicked and anxious instead of happy.
• Realizing that what I truly needed was to reconnect with the joy of making music and songwriting.
• Taking a break and losing touch with my creativity
• The transformative experience of the songwriting retreat – writing more music in one weekend than in the previous two and a half years, making new friends, and finding joy in music again!
• My decision to continue hosting songwriting retreats and helping others rediscover their passion for music.
• The upcoming online songwriting retreat on August 12th and 13th, focusing on fun, connection, and rekindling the joy of music.
