The Human Condition

Talking about my own characteristics of OCD, currently, and…

* how it shows up socially

* how it affects my tasks and hyper-focused activity

* and how it relates to beliefs (ie: needing things to be “perfect” or to have “peace” to make progress on something you want to do, why I avoid singled-out/staged singing…)

* working through why I don’t sing publicly live (hello, OCD, again!)

* baby steps I am taking to push myself out of my comfort zone

* discussing my own struggles writing and producing music

There’s Always Time for What You Love…

There’s no such thing as “perfect timing”, “right timing”, or “no time”.

Take it from me— someone saying I dont have any time to play my guitar, or I don’t have any time to write because I am too busy cleaning, but I do. (because here I am, writing to you!)

There’s often invisible resistance that’s stopping us from enjoying our time to the fullest or to take a bet on ourselves. But right now is the time.

If I am honest with myself…

I was not willing to do what it takes to get myself to that place, as well as, having fears tied into perfectionism. ( I did write today though so hey, here we are ~stepping into a new timeline~)

What’s holding you back from something you love? What’s something you’d love to be able to do? What steps could you take to get closer to doing something you love?

Broken Record…

Hi, it’s me, the broken record. I am here to talk about childhood, subconscious beliefs, trauma, and healing. There’s a reason though!

I talk about my own personal struggles of avoiding doing things with the hope that exposure = enlightenment for myself and others. And it’s a reminder we are all avoiding something because we are just human and we enjoy comfort and nobody’s perfect, and we love each other regardless of lack of perfection.

Discussing the things that bother us is freeing and helps us grow- it’s like the key to invisible psychological shackles that hold us back from our own personal dream bowling team or life living in the Bahamas drinking pina coladas. Anything you dream.

The best teachers…

….are the ones who taught themselves, persevered at all odds, or the ones who are still learning. Vulnerability and abundance are not the weaknesses they are oftentimes seen as but mastered strengths that show growth and emotional maturity.

that’s why I am happy to be here, sharing my own experiences because we are all growing if we are blessed to be, and none of us are doing it alone.❤️

Thanks for reading!
