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.

If you are a little bit like me, then self-development can be a bit tricky at times; you might feel you aren't getting it or not making enough progress, etc. etc. However, you probably are further along than you think, and this is where music can help you find proof of that.

Come and take 10 minutes out of your day and let’s spend some time together, on the B Side of life.

On today’s episode:

· My reason/inspiration for creating this episode

· How to use music to find proof that you are making progress

· Simple exercise that you can do to see this for yourself

· Example how I used it for myself with a specific genre of music

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 is so much more (I wonder if Pink realised that when she wrote it?!)

If you are feeling a little numb right now, spend these 10 minutes with me and see if I can inspire you to find your song(s) that help you come out of that numbness and back into trying to create a better life.

Quick overview of today’s episode:

· Recap on my episode 31 ‘Numb’

· Where I am now emotionally and what I have done and doing

· What this song means to me and how it has helped me

This time on my Podcast I share with you how 'Numb’ by Linkin Park presented itself to me at the right time and allowed me to recognise how I currently feel. Yes, as you can guess, it is numb!

This must be one of the most annoying and hardest emotions to break through, yet there are small steps we can take to move away from it and back into a happier us.

I hope this episode makes you feel less alone if you are in that space, too and inspires you to hit ‘play’ on songs that help you feel better.

During this episode I share with you:

· A little bit about the actual song itself

· The reasons how I ended up feeling this way

· What I started to do to change this feeling and move into a happier place

Do you or have you felt ‘numb’ before? I would love to hear your experiences and how you moved out of this.

Do you remember the song ‘Turn back time’ by Aqua? It is the title song for the movie ‘Sliding Doors’ with Gwyneth Paltrow. The movie centres around one woman, played by Gwyneth, and two storylines, showing two paths her life could take depending on whether she catches a Tube on the London Underground or not (hence the 'sliding door' title).

This song got me thinking about how often we might have ‘sliding door’ moments, what we can learn from them and how to not get stuck in the loop of revisiting those moments.

Join me whilst I ponder this question centred around this song (and movie) and let me know your thoughts on it.

Main points on today’s episodes are:

· 1:27 What the movie ‘Sliding Doors’ is about

· 3:30 Why learning to make a healthy decision that is good for us is important

· 6:30 How music can assist us with healing from those ‘sliding door’ moments

In this first solo episode of 2022 of the Living on the B Side Podcast my focus is on my picked theme song & word.

I do a little review on last years’ choices and how that worked out for me, using this process instead of goals. Also, I provide a few examples on what went well by using this method and how it made me feel overall.

Then I reveal my choices for 2022, how I picked them and why I decided to go with these choices. In essence I feel us quiet and introverted humans should and can shine more brightly and these fit in nicely with my vision overall for this year.

Next up I share with you my tips on how you can pick your own theme song (and word), these are simple ways to connect with how you want to feel and be. And hopefully allow you to feel happier with yourself and achieve more of what you want in life.

Using a theme song is a gentle and fun way to align yourself not only with your values but also overall vision in a way that doesn’t feel forced or tense.

In this episode of the Living on the B Side Podcast I talk about:

· Review of my 2021 theme song & word (1:00)

· 2022 theme song & word (04:10)

· How you can pick your own song and/or word (08:34)

Birgit’s Words of Wisdom:

“Having my theme song in my head, knowing that this is my theme song, I can fall back onto that and really push through mental and physical pain”

“The world needs more of us quiet and introverted humans to shine the light to brighten up this world, to allow people to see us”

“We have this gentleness to create better energy on this planet, better surroundings for the people that we love and care about”

In this episode I welcome Michelle Hessing ‘to the microphone’, who is a quiet business owner of a Branding Design & Printing company based in Newcastle, NSW and specialises in an integrated approach to creating and designing branded material and collateral to bring products and services into the marketplace. Designing for marketing, packaging, social media, presentations and documentation and printing - to promote and sell products and services locally and globally.  

She took up learning to play piano at the age of 41 after years of thinking she wasn't smart enough to learn to play. She is teaching piano as well but currently her piano studio is in mothballs while her branding and printing business is the main focus. 

 During our chat with cover her approach to capturing the ideas of her clients (talk about imagination ability!) and to how she currently works on a piano piece for her father, who sadly has passed away. Michelle also shares her experience that led her almost to give up on her dream of playing the piano, how she found a way to make it happen and why she believes anyone can play an instrument.  

She says: “I feel that every rough patch, big event, significant moments are attached to certain songs and sounds that trigger the memory surrounding that moment. Then for some reason I started to listen to music differently. Not just about remembering the words and shaking my thang and working out dance moves but really listening.” 

Tune in to listen to the whole conversation – it is worth it!
