DO YOU THINK OR KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE? ❤️⁣ ⁣ One of the things I absolutely love about being coached is how my coaches always help me recognize the limiting beliefs I have about myself. The thoughts I often believe are true from years of constantly repeating them to myself. These thoughts can often make us play small or hold us back in making our next big leap.⁣ ⁣ 👉 I'd like to help you recognize what thoughts may be holding you back. There are many tools that can help with this. Send me a DM and let's book a complimentary playdate that will get you headed in a great direction for 2023! ⁣ ⁣ Here's a thought I believed for most of my career that I'm proud to say I no longer believe to be true. ⁣ ⁣ For years, I didn't believe that I could financially profit from being a working artist. Remember that old expression, "starving artist"? I totally believed it and have been told this by so many people over the years that I just thought it was true. I convinced myself that being a working artist would be a constant financial struggle. ⁣ ⁣ The thing is, that is simply not true. Much like any business, profiting as an artist requires focus, dedication, determination, planning, curiosity and being willing to adjust when things aren't working. ⁣ ⁣ What limiting thoughts have you been telling yourself? Do those thoughts run the show? Do you believe them to be true? ⁣ ⁣ Let's plan a time to explore. Looking forward to connecting with you. 😀⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #coach #coaching #mindset #limitingbeliefs #creativitycoaching #artistcoach #empowerment #artist #musician #lifecoaching #support #encouragement #musicianslife #beliefs #thoughts #truth #adjustment #selfemployedbusiness #businessskills #selfemployed #entrepreneur #workingartist #limitingthoughts #thinking

YOUR BODY KNOWS BEST ❤️ So I just did it. I c YOUR BODY KNOWS BEST ❤️ So I just did it. I called in sick for work tomorrow, despite how many people are counting on me to move things forward and despite the fact that I'm feeling better than I was. This was seriously hard for me to do. I hate letting others down. It's like I have these crazy high expectations of what I think I should be capable of doing and when the body literally says no and forces me to slow down, all these fears get in the way of how I may be holding others back. Can you relate? So...I'm posting this in case there are friends out there who may be pushing themselves too hard, maybe even at a risk that's literally making them feel sick. I'm here to remind you that it's totally ok to SLOW DOWN if you're not feeling up to it. The world will be there when you feel ready. And on that note, time for a hot bath, simplifying my work schedule for as long as I need to feel better and being patient with myself when I blame myself that I "should" be better enough by now to fully function like I was. The world can wait until my body says YES again.
Here's another fabulous @globalmusicmatch artist b Here's another fabulous @globalmusicmatch artist based in Canada who inspires me with his big heart and profound artistry, JOHN ORPHEUS. John is a groove and good vibes maestro who you definitely need to have more of in your life. Check out his lyric video (in the comments below) for "We Nah Worry Bout Dat" - https://youtu.be/IHmNkl5OOXA. I friggin' love this song! ABOUT JOHN ORPHEUS Born and raised in South-Central Trinidad, @johnorpheus is a Pan-African musical artist and acclaimed author. For the past year and a half, he has been writing his memoir called SAGA BOY which will be published by Penguin Random House Canada in January 2021. With the book due to be launched in the new year, John decided to return to music and release a companion album also entitled SAGA BOY. Both the book and the album are built on the same themes: searching for home, for family, for love and a fly coat to wear when you get there. John Orpheus’ musical journey has taken him from the Caribbean bush to festivals across Canada and the US. He combines hip-hop swagger, Afrobeat energy and dancehall charisma to create a sound built on big catchy hooks. John is known for his rabble-rousing live shows filled with audience participation, chanting and impromptu dance-offs that feel more like Caribana road parties than concerts. His 2021 album SAGA KING was hailed by CBC Radio as one of the Best Albums of 2022 and his companion memoir SAGA BOY has been nominated for numerous literary prizes.

Ready to take a @globalmusicmatch deep dive into t Ready to take a @globalmusicmatch deep dive into the land of two amazing artists? First up is Scotland's MICHAEL MCGOVERN. If you dig Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, you're gonna love Michael's music! I fell in love with his song, "I'm Not Myself Today (Take Me Back)" and am working on jamming my flute to it. I'll post it once it's ready. Here's a link to the video on his YouTube page (also posted in the comments below): https://youtu.be/wbI2c5s0r0Q ABOUT MICHAEL MCGOVERN @michaelmcgovernn is a folk singer-songwriter from Glasgow, Scotland. In June 2021, Michael released his debut album, Highfield Suite. The album prominently features nylon guitars and wide vocal harmonies, tipping its hat to some of Michaels great inspirations, like Leonard Cohen. Michael spent much of 2022 touring, including supporting Mary Black on a sold out tour in Ireland, then a headline tour in the UK and Europe.

Oh my gosh! I can BREATHE again and my voice is co Oh my gosh! I can BREATHE again and my voice is coming back!!! ❤️ I can't begin to express how amazing it feels to be getting better. As behind as I am in literally every aspect of my life right now, I've accepted the fact that SLOWING DOWN is exactly what I needed. We're no good for anyone unless we are taking care of ourselves. Life on the road was amazing but it was A LOT. So many different personalities with lots of complex situations and many unpredictable travel factors that had me feeling like I was running on empty. Not to mention, the program I performed in Toronto was HUGE for me. It was the first time performing that project in entirety since COVID hit and it was a lot to prepare for both physically and emotionally. And on top of it all, I'm the type that wants to fit it all in and live life to the fullest but that can take a lot out of me. Some things I'll be working on during future trips is to find more balance. Create opportunities for more quiet time, space and routines that help me keep healthy. That can definitely be hard to do when we're travelling and not wanting to let others down. To those of you who have been patiently waiting for returned emails, texts and rescheduled meetings, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me have this time to heal. I'll be back on my feet in no time. See you soon! 🥰
8 hours in emerg but it was worth the x-rays. I ha 8 hours in emerg but it was worth the x-rays. I have pneumonia. Got my meds and now it’s time to truly rest until I feel better. I knew something wasn’t feeling right. So grateful to be home to heal. Thanks for all of your sweet messages. It means so much. ❤️
True love is when your husband waits with you in e True love is when your husband waits with you in emerg at the hospital on his only day off. Still no voice and can’t sleep through the night from all the coughing. Time for some meds. On a different note, I found out an interesting haunted lighthouse tidbit. Apparently the lights that went out while I was recording were NOT on a timer. 100% ghost believer over here. Creepy! Wish me luck on getting the meds I need so that I can rest and feel better. This has been brutal. ❤️
It’s been such a blast, Toronto! Quite the whirl It’s been such a blast, Toronto! Quite the whirlwind of spending my last few days seeing as many family members and friends as I could and I’m heading home with absolutely no voice! Ha ha! A sign of a really great time I guess. To all of those dear friends I missed, let’s make it happen next time! I’m aiming to be back in the spring when Gibralter Point Lighthouse is warm enough to record in again. My heart is filled to the brim by such a heartwarming trip. Toronto is definitely one of my favourite playgrounds. ❤️
Last jam session in Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Last jam session in Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Toronto Island before heading home to Newfoundland. Can’t wait to come back to record here when it gets warm again! ❤️
Back at the Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Toronto Back at the Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Toronto Island by myself this time. It’s feeling pretty peaceful. Here’s an improvisation to honour our soldiers on Remembrance Day. May we always remember those who have given everything for peace. ❤️
Well that goes down as being one of the most heart Well that goes down as being one of the most heartwarming and creepy recording experiences ever! I recorded my beautiful @dizhaoflutes in the haunted Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Toronto Island - a dream come true. I refused to be in the lighthouse alone so my dear cousin Jo-Anne kept me company during the day and then my adventure buddy Bella surprised me with a picnic dinner. We recorded after sunset. No doubt in my mind that the lighthouse is totally haunted after our experience tonight. The story goes that the first lighthouse keeper, J.P. Rademuller was murdered in 1815 and his ghost has haunted the lighthouse ever since. Although perhaps the light going out in one of these videos can possibly be explained by it maybe being on a timer (not sure if it is or not), one thing I can’t explain is how there was someone knocking underneath me when I was playing my flute and never when I wasn’t!!! We planned to stay much longer to get more tracks recorded but we sure got the message! I’ll have to come back to try recording another time. Such a special experience AND totally creepy at the same time!!!
Do you believe in ghosts? I sure do, especially af Do you believe in ghosts? I sure do, especially after trying to record my flute in the haunted Gibralter Point Lighthouse on Toronto Island!!! I’m sure the light going out in this video can be explained but definitely not the knocking underneath me that only happened when I played my flute and stopped when I wasn’t!!!
