Building community through acoustic music! This podcast features songwriters not only sharing their original material, but their insights and experiences behind the scenes as well. We’ll also meet some movers and shakers in the music industry. The magic of music lives in the space that exists between the in breath and the out breath. It is in that the sacred moment for each one of us that we uniquely discover our own song. You hear a song, and I hear the same song yet the song speaks differently to each of us, touching the deepest part of our soul in the most healing of ways. Music is the energic thumb print embedded in the lyrics and in the song that carries a universal language that breaks down the barriers we’ve put up between us. Music is a gentle hand that reaches out to soothe an aching soul, and music is the energy that encourages us to get up to dance and sing. Next to our own breath, acoustic music is the most powerful healing instrument, and so we’ll be exploring that, too!May your inner song reflect who you are and how you live your life.
Going forward, Musicians Roundhouse Café is becoming part of this new unified experience, and all new episodes will continue through The Daily I AM Journey podcast. Join me over there!
The Daily I AM Journey Podcast
Intro and Outro music written by Cottonwood Stone from her song “Just for Today”.
In this episode, Cottonwood Stone explores how the words we speak to ourselves … especially those quiet, unnoticed phrases … can either uplift or undermine our creative journey. As musicians, we understand the impact of lyrics and vibration, but what about the inner soundtrack that plays in our own minds? You'll learn a simple yet transformative three-step process to shift negative self-talk into empowering inner dialogue. Whether you're a performing artist or building a music business, this episode will help you rewrite your internal narrative and amplify your creative confidence from the inside out.
