About this video:

Living on the B Side is a music podcast that showcases the power of music through people sharing their experiences with music and its impact in their lives. Your host B(irgit) also shares information and tips around how to integrate music as a tool for self-reflection.

Time to breakaway! Time to take a chance and make a change! 💪

The song ‘Breakaway’ by Kelly Clarkson truly captures what my world is like right now. And from what I see around me, many more are going through the same phase as well.

It isn’t a surprise then that this solo episode is about taking stock, letting go and make a change. 2023 has delivered me amazing guests, valuable lessons learned and exciting things to look forward to.

I am sharing more about all this with you and hope you will continue to join me on the B Side ride of life, especially if you are more quiet, introverted and LOVE music.

During this episode I chatted about:

• Why ‘Breakaway’ by Kelly Clarkson is the theme song for this episode

• A recap of Season 3 – my amazing guests, lessons learned & why I feel grateful

• The Quiet Rebel Event organised by The Quiet Collective of which I am part of

• What being part of this event has triggered in me & for my life

• Looking towards the future: my plans moving forward and what that means for YOU

More about Living on the B Side:

I’ve always loved Music, it was and is part of my daily life. There are so many genres and songs that are connected with special moments, memories or phases in my life.

This is what ‘Living on the B Side’ is all about – songs that for one reason or the other I love and listen to. Mainly from the 80’s to the late 90’s, I want to share these with you in the hope that you find a new artist or band or even genre of music that brings you as much joy as they bring me.

‘Living on the B Side’ also wants to highlight the positive impact Music can bring, how it can change a person’s life. So if you have a favourite song that means HEAPS to you, please get in touch & share it with me. Let’s build a community where this passion for music can be shared far and wide.

Strap yourself in, this interview is a special one. Not every day I get to talk to someone that was ‘that’ close to being an astronaut, go into space and feel all the vibrations and sounds there is away from Earth.

Melissa’s journey from wanting to be an astronaut, being rejected and then finding her true passion in life that includes marathons, writing, working with others as a coach – a journey definitely that needs to be talked about. And yes, her two main songs are so fitting for her life so far.

You really need to tune in and hear all about her incredible journey, our chat about the Universe and pondering around music in space (yes, we do mention Aliens!).

During out time together we chatted about:

• Her NASA journey as a rejected astronaut

• Song that relates to this period of her life and why she did not listen to it for a long time

• What made her re-discover this song

• The Universe and its own frequency

• What her mission in life is and what song reflects that nicely

• Why she calls herself The Barefoot Dancing Rocket Scientist

• Which sounds of Nature she loves and why

More about Melissa:

What is your view on today’s state of music? Are the majority of the songs inspiring and mean something to you consciously? Or does it all blur into some kind of background music with no real intention or message?!

This is the main topic we touch on heavily during my chat with Chad. Chad is a musician on a mission to put the ‘intention’ back into music and songs. His mission is ‘Pop, for good’ and he strongly believes that we all need to become aware again of how important it is to have music with intention and meaning. That what we hear gets absorb by our subconscious and impacts us heavily in our day to day lives. And hence needs to be ‘food for thought’ and less distraction overall.

A fascinating and though provoking talk that hopefully will leave you pondering and question the music you listen to and why.

During out time together we chatted about:

• Why he is a musician on a mission

• What his vision and mission entails

• His view on the current state of the music industry

• Why he believes we need to wake up and start a change in this industry

• The song that kicked off his love of music and understanding of its power

• Why people recording/live streaming concerts makes him a little mad

• How our subconscious has been ‘trained’ for certain actions in life (by various sources), example is at live concerts

• What he picked Caroline Polacheck’s song ‘Welcome to my island’ as one of his current favourite songs

Chad Lewine followed the same path that most aspiring talent does. At 5 years old he knew he wanted to be a rock star. But the reasons for the dream have shifted throughout his life. His first exposure to music production was through elective music tech and audio engineering classes in high school. In 2009 Chad started taking his own music seriously while attending college at the now defunct Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Chad recorded his first single, “Life is a Ride” at Krizan’s Sonic Boom Studios in Raritan, NJ in 2010.

In the summer of 2013 he renamed himself as HoneyChrome and reoriented his music to the EDM and hip hop of the time, OUTwithU was one of the first songs he released during that time. In 2013 Chad moved into one of the last real artists’ lofts in Brooklyn at Bedford & Myrtle in Bed Stuy. This creative environment, led by actor and director Lin Lauren, was the first time he had ever been surrounded by and immersed in art. Here he wrote and recorded most of his second self-produced album, the 14 track new-age, spirit-science laden and anthemic Daylight Animal.

At the end of 2017, Chad’s homemade demo for Boomerang, also featured on Feeling High, caught the ear of a radio promoter who connected him with Mike Rogers, mixing engineer of the 90s global hit Groove is on the Heart. Rogers ended up producing Chad’s biggest track yet, Boomerang. Released in the summer of 2018, Boomerang is a sticky and infectious pop record, with sonic accents that just feel like Chad.

During the second half of 2022, Lewine’s mission fully crystallized. Through the turbulent end of an abusive relationship and a renewed and confident sense about his music, POP, FOR GOOD was born and the first proper brand was developed for his artistry. With an image that matches his outspoken, somewhat existentialist and controversial perspective, Lewine has fully owned his mission and has just released his latest single Dark Nights, on February 15th, 2023.

Music loving parents listen up – this episode is for you! I have invited Jenn Abbatiello to spill the beans on how to strengthen the bond between parent and child by using music.

From how music effects your child’s brain and hence emotions to incorporating music in our daily lives, Jenn shares her own experiences and tips on this topic.  Also, through working with many parents she believes that to parent with compassion, empathy, kindness and love it is up to us adults to learn to regulate our own emotions first.

Tune in and listen to a wonderfully insightful chat around parenting, emotions and how music definitely can help you with that.

During out time together we chatted about:

• Why we adults have to learn to regulate our emotions (for our kids)

• Who struggles more with emotions - mum or dad?

• Tips for parents and how to integrate music with their parenting

• Why it's important to ensure both boys and girls are emotionally regulated and well

• Her favourite song & band & some cool stories around that

• What type of music her own kids listen to

• How important music is in her home and how it helps with her parenting

• Why we should expose children to all emotions and music that makes them feel it

• Song that describes her life and or business right now

• Final words (includes a FAB quote!)

More about Jenn:

Outwardly my life looked idyllic; successful career, beautiful family but on the inside I was a mess. Desperate to stop my child's tantrums. It wasn't until I learned to shift my lens and look inwards that I was able to decode my own triggers. What message they were sending me. My child was a mirror showing me parts of myself that remained unhealed. When I healed those parts I was able to look at my child with a different lens of love and compassion and finally break the cycle.

I became more loving towards myself, my now 2 boys and my husband as well. I found more joy, confidence and calm in my parenting AND life.

This is why I am committed to helping other mom’s break cycles of guilt, anger and shame. Music is a part of that healing journey.

We all have dreams and desires, but most of us are too afraid to go after them. It takes facing our fears to openly declare and work towards fulfilling what we crave so much and know is what we want.

Luke is a wonderful example of going through this process, from the moment of discovering his dream of playing on stage in front of thousands with his favourite band to now openly declaring that it will happen.

What an interesting conversation around the discovery of this and to now executing and working towards making it a reality.
