10 Years in a Rock Band Taught Me This…
Did you know that I was the lead singer of a rock and roll band for 10 years? Yes, it’s true! The Ladybirds was my rowdy punk rock band, and we did lots of amazing things together for almost a decade.
The Ladybirds in 2012. Check out our music video, “Shimmy Shimmy Dang” HERE!
Being the frontwoman for a rock band was amazing! I am so proud to have been able to fulfill that dream. But after almost a decade, I began to feel like something was not quite right…that little voice inside was saying I needed a change. A big one…
At our height of rock and roll wildness, my life looked a lot like this:
Touring in an old, beat-up van with 4 (sometimes) smelly dudes
Surviving on gas station coffee and PB&Js
Drinking whiskey and partying until dawn
Skipping meals and chain-smoking cigarettes
Hootin’ and hollerin’ in dark, smoky clubs all night long
Putting other important aspects of my life (career, family) on hold to prioritize the band
I was anxious, over-drinking, and feeling so disconnected from my inner self - but having “fun” and appearing very successful on the outside. Deep down I knew that lifestyle was no longer sustainable for my physical or mental health, and finally knew I had to listen to my intuition and prioritize my health over the expectations of others.
Have you ever felt like you were living “out of alignment”? Like you’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do...but somewhere, deep down, you know it’s not working for you?
During my decade as a rock star ;) I learned a lot about freedom, boldness, and dreams…and when the time came that I had to walk away, I learned a lot about heartbreak, following your intuition (even when it may disappoint others), and eventually, the power of new beginnings.
Even as I write this, I’m flooded with memories and moved to tears…I miss a lot of things about my “old life." Transformations and new beginnings can be hard…But I will always choose the pain of growth and evolution over the pain of stagnation.
As we embark on 2022 - a new year full of possibilities for new beginnings, I want to share my 3 Big Transformation Takeaways with You:
1. Listen to Your Inner Voice!
I had so many subtle glimpses of “this isn’t working for me” before I finally made changes. Has this ever happened to you? Maybe with a job, relationship, or unhealthy habit? Your inner voice gives you valuable messages all the time about what you need and what is no longer serving you. Acknowledge them.
2. Listen to Your Body!
The body-mind connection is undeniable. If you don’t prioritize your physical health, your body will do it for you: stopping you in your tracks with issues like anxiety, overwhelm, insomnia, depression, or gut issues like acid reflux or constipation. Luckily all of these symptoms are reversible and can be addressed naturally. Our bodies are very resilient - especially with the right nutrition and a few smart lifestyle tweaks!
3. Huge Change is Possible and Begins with Small Steps
You don’t have to start HUGE and uproot your entire life like I did. Taking small, practical steps to create a more balanced life will have an incredible positive impact. Learn your unique body-type, discover some new favorite healthy recipes, and incorporate simple, natural relaxation techniques! These small steps add up to HUGE transformation.
