I felt it important to highlight the need to take steps, leaps and often stumbles towards the relationships and life that you want to lead! Songwriting on the road! Bring on 2024

I was inspired to upload something as soon as I had finished a session with one of my clients today. We talked about the effect of tactile physical triggers on songwriting and how they allow us to access another level of vulnerability.
