After 25 years of songwriting, Shannon Curtis, a self-employed working artist, and natural night owl, embarks on an inspiring journey of reclaiming her peace and power, providing a unique door to connection and a chance to create something better in the world.
"When we stand and act in our power, it's not a matter of belief - I know it because I've experienced it. That brings me peace. That brings my spirit a sense of serenity."
Shannon Curtis was a self-employed working artist who started writing and recording music from a young age with little confidence in her talents. After studying classical piano and being encouraged by people in her life, she began to find her calling in music. Now, Shannon understands that music is a powerful way to connect with others and share stories of healing and growth. After becoming consumed by the state of the world and the pandemic, Shannon decided to take an intentional deep dive back into her Twelve Step Recovery and write an album about her journey to reclaim her sense of peace and power. By listening to the album, Shannon hopes to help people gain access to their own peace and power in order to make something better.
Shannon shares the audio clip of her song, “The Silent Sea” selected from her newly released album, “Good to Me".
Join us as we learn about:
💥 Discovering the power of music to create connection and how to use music to explore one's own healing journey.
💥 Reclaim peace and power.
💥 Listening to the messages our emotions are trying to tell us.
💥 Examining how adults can influence the emotional growth of the next generation.

32 min - Ep 113: Pat Butler | Unpacking the Grief of Divorce …Thanks for Leaving Me!
"There are many, many wonderful things left in life. And so that's why I wrote, Thanks For Leaving Me." Pat Butler had a blissful life with a wonderful husband and children, and a successful career as a physics, math teacher and training consultant, holding a master's in education. But her world was rocked when her husband suddenly ended the marriage after only two months with another woman. After 41 years together, Pat was left to grieve her loss and learn to live alone.
With the help of a therapist and an understanding of the three stages of transition, Pat found the strength to move forward, eventually remarrying in 2014. She used her experiences to write two books, sharing her journey of resilience and recovery to inspire others in similar situations. In this episode, key points of our discussion are:
💥 How Pat Butler's life changed drastically when her husband left after 40 years of marriage and how she survived the upheaval.
💥 Pat's new book, a "Divorce Journal: A Guided Path to Moving Forward," which she wrote with co-author David Frenkel (a divorce lawyer) and how it helps divorced people move forward.
💥 The importance of the neutral zone in life transitions and how it can help people find self-renewal.
💥 How we support our children when their worlds are being turned upside down through divorce.
"Thanks for Leaving Me" was published under the pen name Emma Bruce, for family privacy. https://www.amazon.ca/Emma-Bruce/e/B0774T245L/ref=aufs_dp_fta_dsk
